Acapulco


This Flintstones-esque faux grotto construction opens up to the thumping of unbridled reverie and bad decisions. The fun kind. Translation: it's a popular nightclub among the well-heeled, with theme nights and DJs that spin '80s rock, house and northern-style banda (big-band) music. And just think: Elizabeth Taylor used to party here.
