Bar Rio
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Costera Miguel Alemán 15, Acapulco  • 744-484-2366
        Description: It used to be Andromedas dance club, but a full renovation has turned this into an expansive multi-level venue to kick back, enjoy a drink, get together with friends and listen to disco or live Mexican pop music every weekend. The stage is set dead center and can be seen from any one of their numerous bars. The crowd is young and energetic and really packs it in on Friday and Saturday nights. Be warned: they really pump up the volume here. The cover charge includes all-you-can-drink.

Costera Miguel Alemán Playa Condesa, Acapulco  39690 • 744-484-8230
        Description: With a laid-back vibe that is hard to beat given the frenetic pace of some of the clubs on the strip, Disco Beach takes the party right down to the sand. Clusters of tables and dance platforms are perfect for groups of friends or just-met acquaintances to have fun.

Mandara
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Carretera Escénica, Acapulco  • 744-446-5711
        Description: Low lights and cool neon only help to showcase the view from the 96-foot wide window that looks out over Acapulco Bay. If those twinkling lights and the bling from the patrons are not enough, wait until 3am on weekends for an impressive fireworks display! The club keeps people on their feet dancing with pumped in oxygen, and if you still want to party until sunrise, head upstairs to their after-hours lounge Privado. Dress to impress.

Ninas
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Costera Miguel Alemán 2969, Acapulco  • 744-484-2400
        Description: Most of the nightclubs in Acapulco cater to a large population of toursits, but if you want to have an authentic Mexican experience, head over to Ninas right in front of the Convention Center. The crowd (predominantly locals), the entertainment (Mexican celebrity impersonators) and live music playing salsa, merengue and cumbia create a true south-of-the-border fiesta atmosphere.

Palladium
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
Carretera Escénica, Acapulco  39880 • 744-446-5490
        Description: It would be difficult to say what is more spectacular at Palladium, the view from the 160-ft wide windows, the laser light show, the swanky but fun loving crowd, or the nightly appearance at 4am of "the Silver Man." Dressed as an Aztec warrior complete with feathered headdress and sporting silver paint on every inch of his body, he dances while brandishing a burning torch and lip synchs to bawdy songs. The place is very popular with locals and tourists, so be prepared to wait in line.

        Description: Ritmo tropicale reigns at Acapulco's "Cathedral of Salsa," paying nightly homage to Cuba's sensual dance. The neon-lit bandshell showcases musicians and impersonators of Mexican celebrities.

Carretera Escénica 28 La Vista Shopping Center, Acapulco  • 744-446-5691
