The following is a series of bars essential to the success of every college student -- and no, I am not joking. We all know that after a week or maybe even after a long day of classes we just want to hit up a good bar; but not just any bar, I might add. Las Vegas has taken bars and nightclubs onto a whole other level. No longer are they just considered bars; instead, they are adult playgrounds, opening their liberating doors with one end result: to awe you.
