Palm Springs Nightlife Tips by HELEN

Bars/ Nightclubs: Hotel Bar at the Viceroy Bars/ Nightclubs Review

The bar area at the Viceroy had a good crowd during earlier in the evening as well as during the after hours. As for after hours I mean around 12am. This bar is connected to the citron restaurant that gets quite a crowd during dinner time. Even if you are not eating at the restaurant, it's still a great place to grab a cocktail before heading out to dinner. It's a very lively atmosphere including people waiting for a table at citron or just having a drink before heading out.
The same goes for the after hours, the crowd consists for guests who are back from dinner and aren't ready to call it a night yet, and people who are looking for a fun bar to hang out at.
The bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks.

Bars/ Nightclubs: Village Pub Bars/ Nightclubs Review

If you are in the mood for some live music, stop over at the Village Pub for some cocktails, food and entertainment. This place may not look very big from the outside but it's huge. There is a pretty large outdoor patio with heat lams and private tables with fire pits in the middle. We were there during the winter, so the fire made it nice and warm and cozy. Not sure what it would be like in the dead of summer. The band is on stage inside, but you can see it from the outside patio through the glass walls. There's also a dance floor where people were actually busting a move. We had a great time hanging out at one of the fire pit areas, listening to the band and people watching.
Their drinks are very reasonable priced. They have an extensive bar food menu too. I would strongly recommend the hot wings, mmm mmm good!

Casinos: Spa Resort Casino Casinos Review

Though there are many casinos to choose from in the desert area, you don't have to go far if you are staying in downtown Palm Springs. Just a couple of blocks past Palm Canyon Drive, you can walk to Spa Resort Casino for a little gambling fun. There are slot machines galore, but very few tables. I'm not sure what the table minimums are during the day, but at night they were as high as $25 a hand.
