Hmmmmm, Rond Point.....A good place to stay near, as it is a great 'after ski' bar for beer (massive plastic beer delivery systems you can buy, full of beer) with live music. No idea about anything else mind.

Le Plateau is high up above Meribel centre; not far as the crow flies but its a big elevation so makes getting from there to the centre of town a bit trickier. That said there is a very good free bus service which runs until reasonably late in the evening (around midnight or 1, from memory). It depends what you're looking for, really. The apres bars down by the Chaudanne (main ski point in Meribel Centre) get going with live bands around 5ish, and they're right by the bus stop so you could just jump on one of those back afterwards. In the evenings its a little trickier to get back so you may want to time it for the last bus if you're out in the centre, either at one of the various pubs. Dick's Tea Bar is the "big" club in resort and doesn't get going until after midnight, so if you're planning a really lively night you'll be in for a tough walk back.
Up at Le Plateau and including the famous Ronnie, there are also one or two bars up that way that are worth a visit. Aux Petits Oignon is one that does live music and was a popular seasonaire hangout last year (I think Mondays were music night). Its also a restaurant and they do really great food in there; I only ate there twice last season but it was a real treat.
There is a petit Casino (mini supermarket) up there which will be fine for you if you're in catered accommodation; but I'd imagine if you're self-catering you might be better off coming down to the Spar in Mussillon (on the way in to Meribel centre), its probably the biggest supermarket in resort and perhaps the cheapest. The best value is the Super-U supermarket at the bottom of the valley, but depending upon your tavel arrangements that could be much trickier.

Only if you've got a hypothermic death wish. Le Plateau is a minimum hour's walk from the town centre. Get a taxi.
