Fort Lauderdale's nightlife serves as a less expensive but no less rowdy alternative to Miami's ritzy world -- and leaves partiers in dire need of rest and relaxation on the town's sprawling 7 miles of beaches. Clubs like Off the Hookah offer a sultry scene, with plenty of swiveling hips (yup, there are belly dancers), creative cocktails and wild theme parties. Make your way down trendy Las Olas Boulevard to pay a visit to the legendary Elbo Room, where the drinks flow and partiers convene for a raucous, down-and-dirty bar scene, often featuring live music. After whooping it up, settle in at the W Fort Lauderdale, where you'll be pampered and in close proximity to the hub of Fort Lauderdale's beach action.
