As the Las Vegas tourist board will happily tell you, there’s plenty of dance music to be found in Sin City. “There’s more night clubs in Vegas than probably any other city in the world,” house superstar Kaskade told inthemix recently. “And there will continue to be more. I never thought this day would come in America; I just didn’t see that on the horizon.”

As with all things Vegas, though, the nightlife comes with a hefty price-tag and a distinctly populist slant – but it’s not all bombast, argues Pete Tong in a Mixmag feature this month. “You don’t have to do the lowest common denominator thing any more,” says Tongy after dropping Azari & III’s Hungry For The Power at Encore club. “I’m playing what I pretty much do in Ibiza and it’s going off! It’s taken the whole of this summer to get to this point, but it’s happening. Slowly but surely.”

Despite the winds of change apparently blowing through Vegas, we doubt Ibiza club-owners are quaking in their boots. As the panellists at the International Music Summit earlier this year roundly agreed, Vegas ain’t the ‘new Ibiza’.

However if you don’t consider yourself “lowest common denominator”, maybe you’ll find something worthy on the infamous Strip. Or find yourself in an inflatable dinghy with Steve Aoki. Either way.
