Emergency Room Lounge

WEST OF THE STRIP. It isn't far from the Strip, but this local enterprise is a great place to get away from the "tourist" atmosphere and be part of the residential scene. There's a 24-hour kitchen, reasonably priced drinks, and mandatory bar amenities like pool tables, dartboards, plasma-screen TVs, and a dance floor. Every weekend, local bands are the featured entertainment – and on "Trauma Tuesdays," there are house DJs.
