fri nite: hiphop: dream, 1223 (play techno cd's after 12 i think) techno/trance: Club 5, Red (afterhours tilll 4am i think), platinum (altho ok techno but relatively nice inside & awesome makeout couches all the way upstairs ), 18th st lounge tiny dance floor on 3rd with latin/middle eastern beats, brazilian all the way up Ozio (personally cant stand it) Blue Room (lounge and trippy trance) Modern (mork and mindy furniture, decent music..good lounge) It seems your relatives (?) maybe more interested in a lounge with a dance floor as opposed to a dance floor with chairs on the side.
