Mokai

Celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Tom Cruise haunt this exclusive, high-energy lounge, which takes its name from a New Zealand canyon. Rock walls, purple light bulbs, metallic couches and snakeskin ottomans give an edgy, raw look to the place - you may have to take our word for it, though, since the door policy is one of the toughest in town. If you do make it in, you may still end up thirsty, as surly bartenders at times act like royalty and ignore patrons during peak hours. Never mind, since you're partying with a choice, rowdy crowd (perhaps they're elated at making it past the doorman, too?).
