Sri Lanka is the hot spot in South Asia for the
most active nightlife. A part of the Galle Road in Colombo is
said to resemble Las Vegas because of the many casinos here. Though gambling is illegal in some South Asian
countries and Casinos are hard to come by, Sri Lanka boasts of
quite a few of them. These casinos, which are full of life and
activity the whole night through, are not allowed to be called
casinos. So instead they are called clubs.
Sri Lanka has plenty of bars and nightclubs. Even though most of the nightlife takes place at five star hotels
in Colombo, there are also many other places throughout the rest
of Sri Lanka which cater to those who enjoy a lively night and
early morning!
Hikkaduwa and Arugam Bay are famous for their well organized
and colourful beach parties.
In all of Asia, Sri Lanka is believed to be the
country with the largest per capita consumption of alcohol.
Whilst Sri Lanka's neighboring countries are mostly dry, alcohol
flows quite freely in this country.
