Toucans is a tropical, tiki-themed bar and club just north of downtown Palm Springs. There is a seating area with tables, a go-go stage, and a small dance floor on the left side and a pentagonal bar taking up most of the right side of the building. A banquette with tables is in front of the bar area, and a narrow patio for smoking (with access to the bar via pass-throughs) is to the right of the building. I was here with my cousin on 7/31/12. It was quite busy for a tues. night. (I wonder what it's like on the weekends?) There was a mixed crowd but quite a few hot guys, and some friendly ones too! There was no cover, and I paid like $6 for a rum and coke. The drinks were pretty strong, so you get your money's worth there. :-) On the negative side, the smoking patio closed at 1:20am, and they kicked everyone out by 1:45am. :-( But I would def. go back anyway. Maybe next time I can hook up with a CA hunk. ;-)

This club across from Gypsy (now apparently a hip-hop club) is like two clubs in one. A "top-40 music" club is in the front with traditional pub-like decor and a large rectangular bar with video screens above. There is a small dance floor and lounge area, and banqette seating is along one wall. In the rear (beyond a big fish tank) is a glitzy futuristic-disco type club playing techno / house music. A long bar is along one wall and a small lounge is in the back beyond the dance floor. Above this area is a circular loft which is the VIP area, with lots of booths and a small bar (with top shelf prices--bring your money!) To the right of the building is an outside patio area ending in the courtyard-like reception area in the front. I was there in the wee hours of 7/29/12 and there was a mixed crowd. The bartenders were friendly and def. not bad looking. The go-go guys were nice and were a variety of types from twinks to muscular or stocky jocks. (One was actually a competitve amateur bodybuilder!) The cover was $20 and I paid $6 for a rum and coke. When the door man saw I was from Maryland he gave me a free VIP upgrade! I will definitely be back next time I'm in Vegas!

This club on Harmon Ave. just east of the Strip is in an unused theater space. It has a large dance floor in the pit and seating (and standing) in the mezzanine area. To the right are open booths and to the left is the VIP area (booths & tables). There are also 4 pedestals for the go-go boys. The DJ booth takes up the stage area, and almost the entire opposite wall of the space is taken up by the bar. I was there in the wee hours of 7/28/12. The go-go boys were not all that hot, but the VIP waiters (shirtless, no less) were so hunky! I was PO'd that they were only serving VIPs! The bartenders were ok but nothing special. There was a mixed crowd--no one to write home about--and it was very crowded. The cover was $25 and I paid $9 for a rum and coke. Security is all over the place, so don't try to get away with anything! The only good thing about this club was the music. I will probably not go back.

I have been to Score 3 times. There is an outside seating area on Lincoln Rd. Mall where you can sip your drink and people watch. Just inside is a 3-sided bar with color changing mood lighting. A large dance floor area with another bar and lounge area is behind this bar. Score has a mixed crowd but there are many good looking guys around. :) There was a hunky bartender there when I was there on 11/18/11. The music was great! There was no cover, but I paid $7 for a rum and coke. I would def. go back next time I am in Miami.

This place is a rabbit warren of bars and dance floors. I have hooked up here twice. The dancer muscle guys in the back cabana are hot. I had fun with Danny when I was there on 11/18/11--he is nice and his muscles are hard as steel! Just a little warning that lap dances run from $20 to $60. Someone elsewhere on this site commented that if you are on a budget, negotiate with the dancer boi ahead of time. I need to start following that advice. :S
