Advantages: Amazing Night Life!!!!! Disadvantages: Loud!!!

The boardwalk is strewn with cafes and clubs, some staying open as late, or as early as 6AM.

There is a Bungy Jump Club situated at the end of the pier and a large shopping mall, offering late night shopping on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 11pm.
There is a very large Holland Casio, difficult to miss when you step off the tram. The illuminations are fantastic, with the casino boasting a large tv screen in the center.
Cafe's and restaurants are plentiful, you could have anything from a cheese toastie to a full meal. Bars and Cafes cater for all tastes, many of which have live entertainment. The Pier ( www.pier.nl ) offers a selection of shops and has a huge a la carte restaurant at the end of it.

Second, Madurodam. Madurodam is a miniature village, which contains models of many famous buildings in the Netherlands. It's well worth a look, as the models are outstanding, and it could give you an idea of what else you may like to see.
