I went to pas de la casa on a boys holiday which was great, but that was about 29 years ago. Ischgl is a great place for nightlife. Skiing was good but I've been a few times.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Having done a week in both I would chose Pas over Sauze for both night life and beginner skiing.
Both have developed a reputation for being party resorts but I found neither to be overly lively. Pas has a bigger selections of busy bars and a few more night clubs. But neither have a "folie douce" type bar to provide an on-slope party. Sauze was actually a lot quieter than I was expecting.
Sauze provides good access to the Milk way domain so is great for intermediate and more expert skiers but I would imagine that this is not a big concern for you if you are heading away for your first time. Likewise the Grandvalira area is no slouch in terms of size either so will more than suffice for a beginner.
A possibly better option for beginners and lively apres would be Les Deux Alpes. It's relatively affordable by french standards and has a lively apres scene which starts from mid-afternoon (Pano bar and Umbrella bar) and continues well into the early hours of the morning. It also has good nursery slopes in resort and a gentle gradient glacier at the very top of the mountain. This means that beginners can very quickly get the experience of a big mountain as they will be able to ski the runs at the very top of the mountain after only a day or two of tuition. You may need to take a lift back down the mountain though as the green resort run is a fairly crowded and narrow trail with a few tricky sections.
To be fair though, you'll still have a great time if you chose any of the three!

If you can do the week beginning 21 January look at the Make Yourself a Snowhead Bash. It's based in Livigno, Italy and has lots of drinking establishments. It's also out of reach of the Italian tax authorities and is therefore duty free.

@NeddySkiGoon,
Livigno is not dirt cheap, but the après/nightlife is surprisingly good.
