Description: This 1,500-square-foot lounge adjacent to the Rio's Chippendale's Theater (where muscle-bound male dancers take it off six nights a week) was designed as the ultimate ladies' lounge. An all-male waitstaff (who undergo "chivalry training") pours signature cocktails, and women can retreat to the "gossip pit," a restroom complete with lounging areas and stations to apply make-up. Of course, men are welcome at Flirt, too.

Hours: Open to Chippendale's Theater ticket holders from 6:30 p.m. Thursday through Tuesday; open to the general public from 8:30 p.m. Thursday and Sunday through Tuesday, and from 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Cover: None. Book bottle service by calling (702) 777-6875.

About the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino Las Vegas: Between the Chippendale's, the Flirt Lounge, the "adults-only" Sapphire Pool and the i-Bar (where interactive touch screens let patrons flirt), the message is clear: This is no family hotel. The casino is older than some, but, at at more than 100,000 square feet, it's also bigger than most.

Pre-lounge dining: Hit R.U.B. (Righteous Urban Barbeque), an outpost of New York's award-winning barbecue joint, or Búzios for fresh seafood with Brazilian flair. Buffet lovers flock to the Carnival World Buffet for its size and variety.
