XS Nightclub at Encore Las Vegas pours into a poolside courtyard with floating dance floor, gold-leaf ceiling and Friday through Sunday EDM headliner residencies from the Wynn nightlife roster.

Hakkasan in Las Vegas runs five floors inside MGM Grand with a main room for arena-scale EDM and the Ling Ling lounge upstairs for hip-hop and bottle service tables.

Marquee at The Cosmopolitan stacks a main room, library lounge and boom box room on the second level above the casino with Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday programming.

OMNIA at Caesars Palace anchors three rooms under a kinetic chandelier that lowers above the main floor. Tuesday plus Friday through Sunday for EDM and Latin nights.

TAO at The Venetian opens with a temple-room foyer, then a 10,000-square-foot dance hall built around a giant Buddha. Thursday through Saturday hip-hop and open format.
Tip: The outdoor terrace overlooking the Strip is the smartest place to start the night. Hip-hop draws stronger here than EDM.

Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas brought Singapore's headline club brand to the Strip in 2021 with a multi-room build and rotating LED kinetics over the main floor.

TAO Beach reopened atop The Venetian in 2022 with an Asian-garden build, two pools and Thursday through Sunday daytime DJ sets from March through October.

Encore Beach Club fills 60,000 square feet behind the Encore tower with three pools, daylight EDM headliners and the same Wynn nightlife residency lineup that fills XS at night.

Brooklyn Bowl ★ 4.5
$$-$$$Strip{'monday': '17:00-01:00', 'tuesday': '17:00-01:00', 'wednesday': '17:00-01:00', 'thursday': '17:00-01:00', 'friday': '17:00-01:00', 'saturday': '17:00-01:00', 'sunday': '17:00-01:00'}
Brooklyn Bowl on the LINQ Promenade pairs a 2,000-capacity concert room with 32 bowling lanes and Blue Ribbon kitchen service. Most nights are touring rock, soul or funk.

House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay holds 1,800 standing for touring rock, blues, country and tribute residencies. Smaller floor and balcony than the Brooklyn Bowl room.
Tip: Gospel Brunch on Sundays sells out. The restaurant-bar opens at 07:00 so you can eat before doors open at 19:00 most show nights.

Apex Social Club sits on the 55th floor of the Palms Casino Resort in the former Ghost Bar shell, with an 8,000-square-foot indoor lounge and open-air patio over the Strip.

$$$Strip{'monday': '10:00-16:00', 'tuesday': '10:00-16:00', 'wednesday': '10:00-16:00', 'thursday': '10:00-16:00', 'friday': '10:00-16:00', 'saturday': '10:00-16:00', 'sunday': '10:00-16:00', 'note': 'hours expand later in summer; cabana reservations 702-731-7266'}
Garden of the Gods is the seven-pool Greco-Roman complex behind Caesars Palace, with poolside bars, cabana service and the Venus topless pool. Open daily through pool season.

$$$$Strip{'monday': '17:00-01:00', 'tuesday': '17:00-01:00', 'wednesday': '17:00-01:00', 'thursday': '17:00-01:00', 'friday': '17:00-02:00', 'saturday': '17:00-02:00', 'sunday': '17:00-01:00'}
The Vault at Bellagio is the unmarked-door speakeasy behind the live gaming tables with 10 tables, an onyx bar, vintage spirits including 1930s Remy and Studio Munge's lighting build.
