Hollywood, CA

Feb 25, 2013 — Imagine a neighborhood that houses multiple clubs where bottle service, world-renowned DJs, and celebrity sightings are the norm. Do we have your attention?
No, you’re not dreaming. Yes, there are city districts where Armin van Buuren tracks blare through the walls of numerous high-end clubs. And there are side streets filled with endless lines of decked-out partiers ogling the Ferraris and limos as they drop off their VIPs at the front of the velvet ropes.
There are earthly utopias where you can shuffle your stylish kicks – or heels – on a sweaty, wild dance floor with a well-dressed and good-looking new friend, only to do the same exact thing at another establishment down the block a few hours later.
Sliding from one nightlife hotspot to another isn’t reserved for pub-crawlers, and areas like the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris will have you wondering what life was like before you decided to frequent more than a single club in a long night.
It’s time to stop daydreaming and start strolling down the streets of one of these neighborhoods, where you’ll have your pick of exclusive spots.
The only acceptable excuse for not walking around places like Testaccio in Rome or the Meatpacking District in New York City is if you’re one of those classy VIPs getting a ride in a limo or driving a Ferrari.
