Stuff To Know About Cancun, Mexico
Nightlife / Dining Out
Night Life
You've been at the beach all day, you've had your siesta and now you're ready
to dance the night away! Lucky you - you've come to the right place!
Cancun is famous all over the world for it's nightlife, and the local drinking
age is 18. When the sun goes down and a few drinks have been consumed
Cancun really does spring to life. The nightlife intense, starts late
here in the clubs (usually earlier in restaurants) and, because of the
lack of a set closing time, goes on until the wee hours of the next day. The
bars are very entertaining and the waiters make sure there’s always a
lively atmosphere. Nightclubs and discos offer special promotions and
some wild contests, (bikini & male hot bod) usually during the week.
Live music, DJ-style music, and even karaoke is featured in nightclubs, and some
interesting shows are occasionally featured. There are "Ladies
Nights" where women drink for free and even some Chippendale type shows. Everyone
should easily find a place to call their favorite while on vacation in Cancun. Ask
around among other tourists and some locals and you will probably be able
to find out "where it's at" currently.
