As the 2026 dayclub season arrives, all eyes are on Tao Group Hospitality. The restaurant and nightlife empire has helped pace the pool party scene since Tao Beach, one of the Strip’s first dedicated dayclubs, opened 19 years ago. Now, Tao Group aims to move the needle again with the 46,000-square-foot Omnia Dayclub and Skybar, opening at Caesars Palace on May 15.

The grand opening kicks off with Australian tech-house producer Fisher, followed by melodic dance trio Rüfüs Du Sol and Dutch hitmaker Martin Garrix over the weekend.

“It’s a very dramatic project. The location, first of all, is one in a million, the best location arguably in the country—definitely in Vegas,” says Jason Strauss, co-CEO of Tao Group. “The almost 50,000-square-feet of usable hospitality, the level of design, materials and experiences that we’re going to be building in there is one-of-a-kind. It’s the biggest project we have ever done as far as scope and commitment to the build out.”

Tao Group built Omnia Dayclub from the ground up with the bright beachfronts of Mykonos and St. Tropez in mind. The multi-level venue has two central pools, custom daybeds, and private cabanas and VIP plunge pools that border the edges like exclusive villa retreats. A bridge connecting Omnia Nightclub with the dayclub also creates a seamless transition, while a grand staircase draws patrons directly from the Strip.

To deliver those festival-tier performances Tao Group is known for, the DJ booth boasts an 8K LED main stage and a L-Acoustics L2 sound system. And many Omnia Nightclub residents like Zedd, Tiësto and Deorro will rotate in for day shifts.

On the second level, Skybar represents another game-changing addition. The seated dining experience serves up Tao’s best culinary offerings as the party rages below. It’ll also feature a grab-and-go window that’s accessible from Las Vegas Boulevard.

“No other city has this many dayclubs entertaining this amount of people on the weekend with this level of square footage and quality,” Strauss says. “We are, by far, the dayclub capital of the world. The expectation keeps getting bigger, and everyone keeps stepping up their game. This is going to be our version of stepping up our game.”

But this “step up” transcends bigger pools and a better DJ roster. It signals a complete shift in immersion. Where many used to question whether a pool could really anchor an adults-only atmosphere, now people flock to it. Dayclubs are no longer the warm-up to a wild night out—they’re the main event. Where else can you dip into the finest pools, party with world-renowned DJs and head home by 5 p.m.?

“There’s people that come to Vegas that just come for the dayclub experience,” Strauss says. “No longer are they coming for gambling or a show or to see a Michelin-star chef. They are coming for the dayclub experience.”

And these dayclubbers span a diverse demographic, from weekend warriors who marathon the dayclub and nightclub in a single day to older guests who reserve cabanas and younger crowds who belly up to the DJ booth for their favorite song.

“I’m just proud to be a part of the city and an industry in the city that continues to elevate the game and really set the tone for the rest of the world when it comes to hospitality,” Strauss says.
