Best nightclubs for someone on crutches?

I can%26#39;t believe this hasn%26#39;t been asked before, given the clubgoing set%26#39;s fondness for the combination of high heels and alcohol, but here goes. I%26#39;m taking my sister to Vegas for her 21st on April 13. A few weeks ago, she wrecked her ankle while running; she had surgery yesterday to repair the ligaments (no bones broken, thankfully) and will be in a walking cast during the trip. This throws a wrench in our plans.





Obviously, we won%26#39;t be dancing the night away, so: What nightlife suggestions do you have for someone whose mobility is limited and who may be on crutches? I%26#39;m looking for something in between dollar margaritas (well, we%26#39;ll hit those earlier in the day!) and, say, Pure. We can%26#39;t afford bottle service, so I%26#39;m thinking we may have to stick to bars/lounges with plenty of seating. We%26#39;re staying at THEhotel at Mandalay and we%26#39;ll be there Sunday through Wednesday. We%26#39;re a group of three ladies (21, 25 and -- gulp -- far too close to 30 for comfort).





Thanks in advance for your help, guys! I mostly lurk on the Vegas boards, and you seem like a nice bunch. :)

I know a gal with one leg shorter than the other, her name is Eileen, she always danced in a circle.



Anyway, She liked Body English at the Hard Rock.

LOL, I%26#39;m going to tell my sister that.





I%26#39;ve heard Body English has a good Sunday night party -- we may decide to check that out. Grace turns 21 at 12:01 a.m. that Sunday and we plan to hit the ground running. ... well, limping.




Amazingly enough this was my situation last year except it was a lot worse for me. I broke my ankle and had to have 2 surgeries to fix the bones and reattache the ligaments. I went to Vegas 6 weeks later when I got out of my plaster cast and was only on my 2nd day in a walking cast. I went clubbing every night of my week stay. Voodoo Lounge was particularly helpful as they stored my wheelchair the minute I walked into the club. Also, having the walking cast allowed me to cut taxi lines, buffet lines, rides lines, and club lines.





Anyway, to answer your question, Voodoo Lounge was great, House of Blues, Tabu, Ivan Forty Duece, Eyecandy, Cathouse, Diego and Krave.




suggest she rents a scooter during the trip.
