Las Vegas Nightclubs Review: Best of 2024

But before you choose which package is right for you and your friends, we want to tell you a little about the must-attend Vegas nightclubs and showcase what’s coming up this month.

Let’s jump in!

Omnia Nightclub (Best House/EDM Music)

Located: 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Caesars Palace)

Take a Virtual Tour

“Omnia,” meaning everything in Latin, is an all-encompassing, unique nightclub experience. With an opulent, classic design and modern technology, and the best house/EDM artists, Omnia Nightclub is in a league of its own when comparing the best clubs with house music.

Omnia nightclub enforces a standard Vegas dress code. You’ll want to adhere to these rules, or you could be turned away at the door. They recommend wearing upscale nightlife attire.

You can expect to be turned away if you’re wearing sports attire, athleisure / casual loungewear, and swimwear, as these are absolutely not permitted.

This large, tri-level club inside Caesars Palace offers DJs, dancing, and incredible views of the strip. They are open Thursday – Sunday and on Tuesdays 10:30 pm – 4:00 am and cover charges ranging around $20-$50 for women and $50-$80 for men, if not on the guest list.

You’ll want to think about getting bottle service because once you arrive at Omnia, you could be waiting anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours to get in. But if you’re into house and EDM music in Las Vegas, this is the place to go!

Drais Nightclub (Best Hip Hop Club)

Located: 3595 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Cromwell)

Take a Virtual Tour

Located at The Cromwell Hotel, Drai’s Nightclub is the only Las Vegas open-air rooftop club with 35,000 square feet of party space, three pools, over 75 luxurious bottle service tables, two full-service bars, and fingertip access to the world’s most celebrated DJs and Hip Hop artists.

Voted best live music in Las Vegas, this is the first place you should look out for when wanting to see globally recognized rappers. You can expect to regularly see rappers like Fat Joe, Big Sean, Rick Ross, and Wiz Khalifa. More live performances at the venue include superstars like Future, French Montana, Trey Songz, and Migos

Drai’s has a strict dress code that is enforced. You’ll want to wear fashionable nightclub attire. You’ll want to avoid wearing items of clothing such as athletic wear, torn or cut-off clothing, flip-flops and sandals, baggy clothing, Timberlands, or chains.

To get access to the best live hip hop music in Vegas, you’ll want to get to the nightclub between Thursday and Sunday night, as these are the only days they are open.

At the door, you can wait anywhere from 45 Min – 1.5 hours. Women will pay between $20-$50 for entry, and men will pay between $30 and $60., if not placed on the guest list in advance.

On the Record (Best Dance Club)

Located: 3770 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Park MGM)

Take a Virtual Tour

Put your dancing shoes on, because you’ll need them for On the Record. We crown it the best dance club in Vegas, but there’s lots of unique features to love.

You may have trouble finding the hidden room inside this record store-inspired club in Park MGM. Located behind a wall of cassette tapes, the private Speakeasy is a fun break from the action.

At On the Record, you’ll enjoy reminiscing on old times with music everyone will recognize blended with today’s top-40s. The outdoor patio features a giant converted VW bus that now houses the club’s secondary DJ each night (while the headline DJ is spinning in the main room and dance floor).

Open Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays, if a more low-key club is the vibe you’re after, you’ll want to dance away at On the Record from 10:00 pm to 4:00 am. The dress code is upscale, fashionable attire, so you’ll want to leave the bathing suit shorts and cut-offs at the hotel.

If not on a guest list, general admission starts at $20 for Women, and men will pay $30. Keep in mind that holiday weekends and special events will be more expensive.

Not only is this the after-concert party for anyone attending the Usher concert, but you can choose to be the star with their private karaoke rooms.

With three main rooms offering indoor and outdoor space, this speakeasy-disco-throwback-club experience is one you won’t miss along the Vegas Strip.

Zouk (Best New Nightclub / Best Tech)

Located: 3000 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Resorts World)

This club is pushing the boundaries when it comes to technological advancements in Las Vegas nightlife.

Located inside Resorts World, Zouk Nightclub is a unique club experience on the strip. Named the best nightclub in Las Vegas for 2022, it is the newest 26,060-square-foot nightclub. When you arrive at Zouk, prepare for the music to bless your ears with EDM, House, and Deep House sounds.

Do look up, because the ceiling will be moving as you’re dancing. Four LED panels displaying visualizations of the musics well as birthday shoutouts will be moving in tandem with the energy of the room.

Thursday to Sunday, from 11:00 pm to 4:00 am, you can expect to dance to top-tier talent like Tiesto, Zedd and DJ Snake (performing weekly). But if you want to enjoy every minute of the club, you’ll want to ensure you get in line early or book bottle service and hosted entry, as lines can be up to 3 hours long.

If not on the guest list, your cover charge will be around $75 for ladies and $100 for men.

Athletic wear, shorts, tank tops, jerseys, cut-off shirts, sweatpants, baggy clothing, overly ripped clothing, soiled clothing, offensive prints, illegal paraphernalia, etc, are prohibited inside Zouk.

They recommend wearing upscale night attire and dressing to impress. We agree.

AYU Nightclub (Outdoor Side of Zouk)

Located: 3000 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Outside Resorts World)

AYU Nights was considered its own venue when Resorts World first opened, but it is now officially the other half that makes up the epic nightclub you now know as Zouk (above). We still thought it deserved its own mention.

AYU Nightclub / Dayclub is an outdoor oasis inspired by the beauty and harmonious atmosphere of Southeast Asia’s idyllic islands. In the outer portion of Zouk, on the Resorts World grounds, you’ll experience the best party during the day (and night) in Vegas. Don’t forget your bathing suits, because this is the pool party you’ve been waiting for. That’s right: Thursday nightswim at AYU Nights!

Open seasonally from Friday to Sunday, and open from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. The 41,000 square feet (a combined 67,000 for Zouk in total) of outdoor party space has lounge chairs, cabanas, and of course, top tier DJs. Expect to hear everything from EDM and Deep House to Tropical House music.

Tiesto and Zedd headline both AYU and Zouk, so if you’re around Vegas when they’re spinning tracks, you’ll want to get your ticket or add yourself to our guest list soon. Note: Zouk and AYU Nights are the same guest list. You may flow freely from one side to the other once inside.

For the dayclub and nightclub, if not on the guest list, women will pay between $30 and $75 and men typically pay between $60 and $100.

Encore Beach Club at Night (Best Nightswim)

Located: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Encore / Wynn)

Take a Virtual Tour

Encore Beach Club at Night is the best pool party under the stars.

Located at the Wynn & Encore Las Vegas, EBC Nightswim is the ultimate spot to party with drink in hand! Moreover, the balanced indoor and outdoor layout makes it one of the unique nightlife experiences on the strip.

Enjoy the same atmosphere you’d expect from a dayclub, but with the energy and intrigue of a nightclub environment. Instead of sunshine, you can bask under the moon.

Once the sun sets, you can catch one of the best DJs in the world here. EBC is home to artists such as David Guetta, Diplo, Alesso, Marshmello and The Chainsmokers. Not only does Encore Beach Club host the top artists playing EDM, it was also named Las Vegas Dayclub of the Year by Nightclub & Bar’s Top 100.

Because this is a pool party, after all, you can wear your swimsuit. You can also wear normal nightclub attire. It’s usually a 50/50 split as far as the crowd.

Women, make sure you avoid thongs, and men, no banana hammocks (speedos). The standard Vegas dress code still applies, so avoid wearing baggy clothing, chains, see-through clothing, and offensive graphic t-shirts. You’ll want to dress to impress, so wear your best to EBC.

Encore Nightswim is open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10:30 pm until 4:00 am. So if you’re looking to take a night swim while listening to the world’s best DJs, this is the place to be.

Be sure to sign up for our free entry guest list. Women can expect to pay around $30 for their entry fee, while men can expect to pay up to $60.

Hakkasan (Best Restaurant Nightclub)

Located: 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside MGM Grand)

Take a Virtual Tour

Hakkasan Nightclub offers four distinct nightlife experiences combined with two stories of pan-asian dining decadence.

Located inside MGM Grand, start the night with a unique dining experience and then burn those calories while you dance through their 10,000 sq ft club-within-a-club. Hakkasan challenges the boundaries of entertainment by including a restaurant and nightclub in one place (rivaled only by TAO).

Party with globally sought-after DJs and musical talents like Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris, Loud Luxury, and Tiesto. These artists have tailored their performances to suit the venue’s tech capabilities and complement their versatile styles. If you’re a fan of any of these DJs, this intimate experience is one you will not want to miss.

The average wait time to get into Hakkasan Nightclub is between 45 minutes and 2 hours, if you simply show up the night of. Once you reach the front, women typically pay a cover charge of between $20 and $50, and Men usually pay between $30 and $75. You can avoid this by getting on our fast entry guest list at Hakkasan.

After that wait, we want to ensure you get inside, so you’ll want to follow their dress code by wearing upscale, fashionable attire.

Hakkasan does not permit:

• Hats
• Sandals
• Sneakers
• Hard-soled shoes and boots
• Ripped or baggy clothing
• Athletic wear

Collared shirts are “required” for men, but in practice this is a rule that usually slides. T-shirts are generally acceptable with a nice pair of jeans.

XS Nightclub (Voted #1 in the USA)

Located: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109(Inside Encore/Wynn)

Take a Virtual Tour

This lavish gold-accented club is also located inside Wynn Las Vegas. XS Nightclub has a little bit of everything. Dance floor, poolside patio, and globally recognized DJs: what more could you ask for?

Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (seasonal for Nightswim), you’ll find the best-looking people and biggest-name DJs at XS Nightclub. We’ve partied there more times than we can count.

XS Las Vegas has been dubbed the “number one nightclub in the United States” by Nightclub & Bar’s Top 100 for an impressive five years in a row.

As you walk through the gold laced entryway, expect to be bewildered by the enticing imagery and performance dates of the world’s best DJs along the wall. This includes superstar residents like The Chainsmokers, David Guetta, Alesso, Diplo, and Dillon Francis.

Open Friday-Sunday, 10:30 pm to 4:00 am, you can expect to wait 1 – 3 hours on Fridays and Saturdays and 15 – 45 minutes on Sundays, if you simply show up. Make sure to add yourself to the guest list or reserve bottle service ahead of time.

At the door, women can expect to pay between $20 and $70, and men can expect to pay between $30 and $100. After waiting up to 3 hours, we want to ensure you can get in, so avoid “athleisure” or anything that can appear like athletic clothing.

Dress to impress and wear fashionable, upscale clothing.

Suki Nightclub (Best New Ultralounge)

Located: 3667 S Las Vegas Blvd 2nd Floor, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Planet Hollywood)

Suki, meaning “a liking of” or “fondness of” in Japanese, is the inspiration behind their “commitment to executing a culture of kindness and love by creating a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime guest experience.” So far, they are true to their word.

This Japanese-inspired nightclub inside KOI Restaurant is a brand new spot to get-down, upstairs at Planet Hollywood. This venue is more lounge than nightclub, providing a more laidback and intimate feel as opposed to the larger nightclubs mentioned here. If that’s your vibe, this is your place.

Open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 pm until 3:00 am, the wait is usually not long if you purchase a presale ticket online. Otherwise, the wait is currently about 30 minutes if you just show up. The venue often does drink specials for presale purchases, so we definitely recommend purchasing in advance for these two solid reasons.

Make sure you follow the standard Vegas dress code so that you won’t have trouble getting in.

Avoid athletic wear, shorts, bathing suits, and offensive attire. Dress in fashionable upscale clothing, and you’ll have no problems at the door.

TAO Nightclub (Best Ladies Open Bar)

Located: 3377 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Venetian)

Take a Virtual Tour

Located inside The Venetian, TAO nightclub boasts three bars, one dance floor, private sky boxes, and a 40-foot outside terrace where you can take in views of the Las Vegas Strip.

Enjoy the 10,000-square-foot club graced by celebrities such as Madonna, Jay-Z, Usher, Drake, Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian, and Jamie Foxx.

And these are just some of the A-listers who have graced the TAO dance floor.

And, ladies, if you plan ahead and get on the guest list for TAO, you can enjoy free drinks from their open bar from 11:30pm – 12:30am each night on the guest list.

That’s right. Unlimited well drinks, champagne, and beer for girls during that period for free.

If you’re ready to party at TAO, you’ll want to abide by their semi-strict dress code. They encourage smart, casual-elegant attire.

TAO does not allow the following in their nightclub:

Shorts are permitted in the restaurant, but not in their nightclub.

Visiting Tao Nightclub as general admission, men will pay $30, and women will pay $20 for entry. If you want to get into TAO for free, make sure you’re on the guest list in advance, or staying at the Venetian, Venezia, or Palazzo towers.

Marquee Nightclub (Staff Favorite)

Located: 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109 (Inside Cosmopolitan)

This unique nightclub inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one of the most lively places on the strip. With more than 60,000 square feet of clubbing space at Marquee, you can expect DJs from around the world to spin the hottest EDM, top-40, and hip-hop music daily.

The Library is a charming inner room (second floor stop on the entry elevator) that plays exclusively hip hip. Yes, Marquee has something for everyone.

Marquee Nightclub is open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (seasonal nightswim) from 10:30 pm until 4 am. If you’re on the strip during the week, this will be the place to go on Wednesday nights! Enjoy a blend of tourists and locals during the week. We consider it a great midweek pick-me-up, at one of our favorite venues.

The cover charge at Marquee Nightclub is around $30 for men and $20 for women, if not on the guest list. Prices vary based on the event, so you can expect to pay a bit more if a popular DJ or artist is performing.

If you show up with no reservations, prepare to wait in line before experiencing this nightclub. Wait times can be between 45 minutes and 3 hours on a busy night.

To ensure you get into Marquee, you’ll also want to be mindful of what you wear. The dress code suggests you avoid anything that could be considered sportswear.

Jewel Nightclub (Honorable Mention)

The Best Las Vegas Club Packages (VIP Deals)

What is the difference between Guest List and Hosted Entry?

Guest List and Hosted Entry are both VIP services that allow you to bypass the line, and enjoy priority entry to some of the hottest nightclubs in Las Vegas.

Guest List is a free service that you can sign up for online. Once you’re on the Guest List, all you have to do is show up to the club with your ID, and you’ll be let in under your name.

Hosted Entry is a paid service where you’re escorted into the club by a host. Usually, this is done for VIPs, but can also be arranged for smaller groups. Guest List is the cheaper option (free), while Hosted Entry offers a more exclusive experience. However, both can be great ways to enjoy nightlife in Las Vegas.

All our prepaid Las Vegas Nightclub Party Packages include Hosted Entry as one of the perks, in addition to Bottle Service and a VIP Table. So no waiting in line if you go this route.

If you’re looking to party like a VIP in Sin City, choosing Guest List or Hosted Entry is the way to go!

What are the times for Guest List and events in your VIP Package?

When you book one of our VIP Packages with us, you’ll receive a full itinerary with dates and times for each event.

They will specify if an event has a specific time you need to arrive or if you can attend at your leisure.

Different parts of the package will have specific start times, while others you can arrive when you’d like.

• Packages that include bottle service: your host will prepay your table and send you an arrival time.
• Packages that include limo service: you’ll be provided with a specific time that you’ll need to meet the driver.
• Packages that include Vegas strip clubs: you can schedule your limo service at your leisure.

If I book Bottle Service, do I have to sign up for the Guest List?

When you book Bottle Service, you’re essentially reserving a table for the night, complete with your own private server, busser, and security.

A step above Guest List and even Hosted Entry, Bottle Service is the best way to enjoy the nightclubs in Las Vegas. Bottle Service includes Hosted Entry, wherein a VIP host will walk you to your table past the line outside.

You do not need to sign up for the Guest List if you choose Bottle Service, as your fast entry is already guaranteed.

Las Vegas Nightclub Frequently Asked Questions

What is the age limit for Las Vegas nightclubs?

In order to be admitted, you must be 21 years of age or older. This is because alcohol is served at all of the clubs, and bouncers are required to check ID at the door.

So if you’re under 21, you’ll need to find something else to do during your time in Las Vegas. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. Some off-the-strip clubs (not included here) allow 18+ guests on certain nights, so it’s always worth checking in advance.

And, of course, there’s always the famous casino floor, where guests of all ages can enjoy themselves. So even if you can’t get into a nightclub, you’ll still have plenty of options for fun in Las Vegas.

What are the average bottle prices?

Bottle prices vary depending on the club and the type of alcohol, but you can expect to spend anywhere from $450 to $750 for a bottle of vodka or champagne.

For example, at XS Nightclub a standard bottle of vodka will run you $750. And at Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub, located in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, you can get a bottle of champagne as low as $550.

On the Record at Park MGM currently has the best pricing at $450 for a standard bottle. So if you’re looking to drink on a budget, split a bottle here and your average drink costs will be almost the same as at the bar.

If you book an experience with us, all of our packages include Bottle Service and Hosted Entry with the costs factored in.

What can I expect to pay for cover?

Cover charges in Las Vegas can vary greatly depending on the nightclub you visit. It will also be based on your gender (as archaic as that sounds these days).

Women will almost always pay less than men. Men can expect to pay at least $30-40 for cover at all venues. This General Admission will usually get you entry into the club and access to the dance floor, but not the VIP areas.

Clubs will always have additional fees for VIP areas or Bottle Service, and if you’re attending a club with a DJ headlining, you will likely pay a bit more to be in a closer section. It’s always best to check beforehand. Instead of booking a ticket, it might make much more sense to book a Vegas nightclub package with us.

Extra note: Cover charges also tend to be higher on weekends, so visiting during the week may be a better option if you’re looking to save some money.

What is the best nightclub in Vegas right now?

In our honest opinion, it’s hard to call one Las Vegas nightclub the best of all. Everyone will have that special memory that makes a venue their all-time-favorite, for one reason or another.

That’s why we’ve divided them up here into relevant categories for all preferences.

But if you ask Nightclub & Bar Magazine, its XS Nightclub at the Wynn. It has placed #1 in their top 100 for five years in a row.

And the club does have it all: from a stunning pool area to a huge dance floor to globally recognized talent like The Chain Smokers, Diplo and Dillon Francis.

XS has been good to us each time, and we’re sure you’ll love it too.

How late are nightclubs open?

Most Las Vegas nightclubs so last call at 3:30 am, but you can always dance a bit longer until 4:00 a.m (with some clubs staying open slightly past that).

If you’re looking to keep the party going even longer, there are plenty of after hours options and 24/7 strip clubs. You can actually order a free limo straight from the club as part of any of our strip club deals.

But if you head back home at 4:00 am, you’ll have enough time to get a bit of sleep and grab breakfast before the dayclubs open at 11:00 am.

Should I get a Las Vegas nightclub Package?

We know you might have a hard time choosing a few of your favorites. We suggest you check out some of our pre-planned Las Vegas party packages, or simply get in touch with us so we can personally help plan.
