"A nightclub or dance club is a club that is open at night, usually for drinking, dancing and other entertainment. Nightclubs often have a bar and discotheque (usually simply known as disco) with a dance floor, laser lighting displays, and a stage for live music or a disc jockey (DJ) who mixes recorded music. Nightclubs tend to be smaller than live music venues like theatres and stadiums, with few or no seats for customers.

"Nightclubs generally restrict access to people in terms of age, attire, personal belongings, and behaviors. Nightclubs typically have dress codes to prohibit people wearing informal, indecent, offensive, gym, or gang-related attire from entering. Unlike other entertainment venues, nightclubs are more likely to use bouncers to screen prospective patrons for entry.

"The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday nights. Most nightclubs cater to a particular music genre or sound for branding effects. Some nightclubs may offer food and beverages (including alcoholic beverages)." (Wikipedia)

"The largest nightclub is Privilege, in San Rafael, Ibiza, Spain, can hold up to 10,000 people and covers an area of 6,500 m² (69,940 ft²). Supermartxe and Tiesto are the names of the promotions filling the venue to capacity every week," the Guinness World Records says.

"One end of the venue is sheet glass to allow the sun to shine through at the end of the night.

"The club also has a full sized swimming pool, geometric dome, outdoor tropical terrace area, backroom capacity of 1,500 with glazed pyramid roof and mezzanine level accessed via a spiral staircase, vip balcony, stage area, 2 shops, 1 restaurant, 11 bars, water fountain and foam machines. It was closed for a number of years but reopened in 1993."
