At 5 p.m., Hyde is a swank, tiered lounge that opens right onto the Bellagio fountains and serves a mean after-work cocktail, but as the clock ticks on, the luxe space is transformed into a bustling boutique club where well-heeled partiers dance on the banquettes. It’s multi-tasking, nightlife-style, and Hyde makes it look easy. Bellagio, 693-8700. Lounge: daily, 5 p.m.; club: Tue, Fri & Sat, 10 p.m.-4 a.m.
