2 Best Bars in Monaco

This legendary disco at Sporting Monte-Carlo is not for lightweights: the partying is as serious as the need to be seen, so if surgically enhanced faces and body parts or paying €28 for a water upset you, then stay at your hotel. Note that the club doesn't even open until 11:30 pm.

SBM's Le Sporting, a summer-only entertainment complex on the waterfront, has a roof that opens up to the stars and fireworks, perhaps justifying the €150 ticket for the Monte-Carlo Sporting Summer Festival or the €1,000 Red Cross Gala—although the celebs are also part of the draw. Where else can you see Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, Elton John, Rod Stewart, or Duran Duran in a sit-down dinner venue for 700 people—with valet parking? The Salles des Etoiles is open year-round, but hosts concerts and events May through September.
