The US city dubbed the best place for a night out in the world

Las Vegas has been crowned the global nightlife capital for 2025 by Time Out, despite recent drops in visitor numbers attributed to high prices. The ranking was compiled from a survey of 18,500 people worldwide, assessing the quality and affordability of nightlife, complemented by insights from Time Out city editors. Las Vegas is lauded for its diverse nightlife scene, encompassing large-scale DJ-oriented raves and a growing trend towards more intimate cocktail bars. The city boasts numerous unique venues, including hidden speakeasies found inside barber shops or behind bookcases, and a variety of tiki bars. Madrid secured second place in the ranking for its diverse nightlife, with Paris coming in third, noted for its expensive but highly regarded and evolving party scene.
