Whois & Analysis for nightout.com

A nightclub (or club) is an entertainment venue and bar which serves alcoholic beverages that usually operates late into the night.

A nightclub is generally distinguished from regular bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a stage for live music, one or more dance floor areas and a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded music and where coloured lights illuminate the dance area.

Another distinction is that whereas many pubs and sports bars aim at a mass market, nightclubs typically aim at a niche market of music and dancing enthusiasts and clubgoers.

The upmarket nature of nightclubs can be seen in the inclusion of VIP areas in some nightclubs, for celebrities and their guests.

Nightclubs are much more likely than pubs or sports bars to use bouncers to screen prospective clubgoers for entry.

Some nightclub bouncers do not admit people with ripped jeans or other informal clothing or gang apparel as part of a dress code.

The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday night.

Most clubs or club nights cater to certain music genres, such as house music or gothic rock.

A ticket is a voucher that indicates that one has paid for admission to an event or establishment such as a theatre, amusement park or tourist attraction, or permission to travel on a vehicle (such as with an airline ticket, bus ticket or train ticket) typically because one has paid the fare.

A ticket may be free, and serve simply as a proof of reservation.

A convention, in the sense of a meeting, is a gathering of individuals who meet at an arranged place and time in order to discuss or engage in some common interest.

The most common conventions are based upon industry, profession, and fandom.

Trade conventions typically focus on a particular industry or industry segment, and feature keynote speakers, vendor displays, and other information and activities of interest to the event organizers and attendees.

Professional conventions focus on issues of concern to the profession and advancements in the profession.

Such conventions are generally organized by societies or communities dedicated to promotion of the topic of interest.

Fan conventions usually feature displays, shows, and sales based on pop culture and guest celebrities.

Science fiction conventions traditionally partake of the nature of both professional conventions and fan conventions, with the balance varying from one to another.

Conventions also exist for various hobbies, such as gaming or model railroads.
