A night club is a social area where people gather to socialize, dance or listen to live music. Usually a night club will have a bar but each club will vary in design. Some night clubs may have additional features such as smoke machines, UV lights, foam or disco balls. Popularized in the 1990s with dance and house music, nowadays clubs play a wide range of music from hip-hop to pop to rock or metal. Most clubs in Utah are in Salt Lake City.
Area 51 has an 80s night, ladies night and you can even have a free birthday party. In the center of Salt Lake City, it plays new pop and hip-hop music. Club Sound was Utah's first club to open and is now one of the biggest clubs in Utah. It hosts gay and lesbian nights and has a multi-level dance floor with each DJ offering a different selection of music.
