Nightlife in Mexico:
Like any Latin American destination, things in Mexico do not really get going until late, with nightclubs often opening around midnight and closing at daylight. In family resorts, planned entertainment begins earlier; expect to be entertained at dinner with live mariachi music, Spanish flamenco dancers, gypsy violinists and Aztec re-enactments.

Mexico City attracts international rock and pop acts, Latin music stars, and the world's best ballet and orchestra companies. Zona Rosa, in the centre, is the traditional home of chic, expensive bars and restaurants. West of there, hip new bars have been popping up in the wealthy residential district of Polanco.

Acapulco is known as 'the city that never sleeps' with bars and discos lining the streets. Cancún conjures up images of US spring-break college students going wild at all-night beach parties.
