Acapulco's legendary nightlife is just as notable as its beaches. When the sun goes down people turn their attention from lounging by the water to dancing the night away in the city's myriad of nightlife venues. Along with a sizzling party atmosphere many nightclubs also feature beautiful bay views, fireworks and laser light shows. The nightlife scene doesn't get started until 11 p.m., and most clubs aren't packed until around 2 a.m. Make sure you wear some comfortable dancing shoes because this is going to be one wild night of partying.
