YBOR CITY. If you need more than dance music to get your night going, head over to the Amphitheater. Three levels inside and a balcony outside provide plenty of space for patrons to party as they dance to techno and house music amid the glimmer of laser lights and mirror balls. A 30-foot revolving dance floor keeps the action moving, and club-goers shout in delight when the space is blasted with bubbles, confetti and clouds of frozen oxygen. Dress in your most fabulous attire, and get there before the place is too packed. You don't want to miss a minute of this nocturnal extravaganza.

SOHO. A unique addition to the already-eclectic Tampa night scene, Bahasa was inspired by the ultra-chic clubs found in the Far East's more exclusive getaway spots ­ places like that suave Indonesian playground named Bali. Indeed, step inside Bahasa, and you'll immediately feel like a jetsetter with cash to burn ­ maybe you'll spend it on a touch of flavored tobacco and a hookah, maybe you'll treat a sexy somebody to a drink or two. Silk and wood accents, inside and outside bar areas, and an outstanding lineup of DJs who spin everything from old school hip-hop to trance perpetually keep the mood exotic and fresh.

YBOR CITY. One of the reasons Ybor hasn't lost its edge in recent years is a place like Code, a bi-level club where the late-night activities range from wild, high-octane dance parties led by DJs from all over the world to special appearances by live Latin, rock and hip-hop acts. Balcony seating, cool lounge areas, VIP rooms and a sleek, sexy minimalist design help make the space appear all the more "big city," and the state-of-the-art light and sound systems are sure to assault any inhibitions you may have brought with you.

YBOR CITY. A staple of Ybor City's nightscape since the mid-'90s, tropically themed Club Hedo is always packed with hordes of PYTs dressed in minimal clothing and frat boys who love them. While hedonism (the joint's name is a derivation thereof) may be a tad too strong for what actually goes on, you'll find your inhibitions considerably lessened after sampling a few potent, island-inspired cocktails. No cover charge before 11pm on Saturday.

YBOR CITY. Billed Ybor's "crown jewel," Club Prana certainly sees the "bling" during its Latin, hip-hop, reggae and house dance parties. Spanning five levels, this ultra-modern club counts multiple dance floors, celeb DJs, terrific drink specials and the occasional live band among its weekly offerings. Adding to the place's mystique are sci fi-caliber light shows, pounding sound systems, a sexy rooftop bar and, of course, the beautiful folks who flock here each weekend.
