Whether suffering from insomnia or just needing a big night out: New York is the city to visit for nightlife, according to a recent survey by the hotels expert Hotels.com.

While gamblers' paradise Las Vegas is the globetrotters' second favourite choice, London beat off some strong competition to come in at a very respectable third place.
The survey also reveals that, although the gold and silver medals go to the US, six out of the Top Ten cities are in Europe. As well as London; Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam and Madrid all make it into the world's favourite list showing that Europe is the clubbing continent of choice. Los Angeles and Bangkok, the only Asian city in the list, complete the Top Ten.
"New York and Las Vegas always provide an amazing travel adventure. But it is the variety amongst the European cities that makes them so interesting and exciting for travellers from all around the globe," said Alison Couper from Hotels.com. "There are many different experiences to be gained on the continent, whether it's a night out in the infamous clubs of Berlin, the floating restaurants in Amsterdam or the small, intimate bars and music venues of Paris - although it's nice to see that London is coming in above even these notorious party capitals!"
