In Las Vegas, it’s not officially spring until the dayclub season launches in full swing. Around here, we take our poolside partying pretty seriously. We plan entire weekends around it, anticipating those sun-soaked afternoons beside the DJ booth or in a cozy cabana. Here are some of the best dayclubs to pencil into your party itinerary.
DayDream
Created for locals by locals, DayDream pool club at the M Resort ramps up as the 21+ sanctuary Henderson has been waiting for. The sprawling venue features an infinity-edge pool, two steamy hot tubs and multiple cabanas and daybeds. And with its ice-railed bar, premium bottle service and DJ lineup, this dayclub’s worth a dip. M Resort, themresort.com.
Palm Tree Beach Club
Palm Tree Beach Club
Fully renovated and reimagined just last summer, Palm Tree Beach Club took over the space of Wet Republic and gave us a season to remember. This year, the lush Palm Springs-inspired oasis returns with a lineup of world-class entertainment, delish finger foods and plenty of craft cocktails. And with globally recognized DJs like Martin Garrix, Tiësto and Kygo, you’ll leave only wanting to come back for more. Wednesday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-close, MGM Grand, taogroup.com.
Liquid
Liquid at Aria is a small but mighty dayclub experience. Repeat visitors rave about the stellar service and accommodating poolside hospitality. Gourmet bites, high-end cocktail concoctions and resident DJs give you a taste of the party life without turning it into a full-on rager. Coordinate your experience with a local promoter and soak in the beats and sun on a daybed or private cabana. Wednesday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Aria, taogroup.com.
Marquee Dayclub
The Cosmopolitan’s iconic rooftop pool had a major glow-up this season. The fully rebuilt DJ booth brings the crowd closer with a lowered stage for intimate poolside performances. And overhead, a new curved LED screen serves as a striking architectural statement piece that brings the music visually to life. The upgraded sound system also provides sunseekers with a high-tech audio experience. As Tao Group Hospitality co-CEO Jason Strauss puts it: “The guys over there had been driving a Ford Mustang maybe the last couple years. Now we’re giving them a full Ferrari that can drive Formula 1.” And that’s on top of what already made Marquee Dayclub so great—the bungalow cabanas, the private infinity pools, the stunning waterfalls and the large dancefloor that’ll soon be packed for dance heavy hitters like Jonas Blue (April 4), Louis the Child (April 18) and DJ Pauly D (April 25). Daily, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Cosmopolitan, taogroup.com.
Encore Beach Club
Looking to make the biggest splash on your Instagram story? Encore Beach Club brings in the big names to guarantee the daytime festivities pop off. This massive complex has enough room to accommodate your party with space to chill and dance even without a rented cabana. Drinks are poured with a heavy hand to get you moving, and the vibes are said to rival the sun-drenched parties of Ibiza, so start your summer here. Friday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-close, Wynn, wynnnightlife.com.
LIV Beach
David Guetta at LIV Beach
This multi-level party palace is built to resemble the sun-kissed scenery of the French Riviera with vibes that rival the world’s best beachside resorts. Around here, bottle girls spray thirsty crowds with Champagne and cabanas fill up faster than a TSA line without precheck. At LIV, world-class DJs like John Summit, David Guetta and Disco Lines anchor your afternoons, while surprise guests like Tinashe keep the energy unpredictable. Locals can also secure complimentary entry on Fridays and Sundays with a valid Nevada ID. Friday-Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m., Fontainebleau, livnightclub.com.
Stadium Swim
Stadium Swim
If dayclubbing is a game of endurance, there’s no better place to play than at Stadium Swim. Circa’s rooftop dayclub opens earlier than most brunch spots and brings the game to you with a 143-foot HD screen for your sports viewing pleasure. The venue offers six temperature-controlled pools for year-round revelry, along with stunning views of the Downtown skyline. With the March Hoops viewing party on April 6 and the wrestling fan fest CircaMania taking over on April 18-19, Stadium Swim’s shaping up as the place to be. Daily, 8 a.m.-11 p.m., Circa, circalasvegas.com.
Tailgate Beach Club
Clique Hospitality’s new sports-driven dayclub will replace Daylight come May 16, with a performance by Snoop Dogg. The venue champions all spectator sports, so you’ll never have to pick between a pool day and a field day again. Laze out on a chaise lounge or one of Tailgate’s heated pools, soaking in the game with over 125 feet of LED screens. Cabanas also feature some head-to-head fun with beer pong, foosball and PlayStations. Expect the poolside energy to heat up as live DJs and frenzied fandoms collide during game day. Thursday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-close, Mandalay Bay, tailgatebeachclub.com.
Tao Beach
Tao Beach
Tao Beach at the Venetian is pure luxury in motion. This rooftop dayclub has it all—stageside cabanas, bottle service and endless photo ops to make you feel like a true baller. The space is sleek and tropical, blending the brand’s signature Asian-inspired design with bold touches. This is the ideal spot to go all out and let loose. And don’t sleep on the freshly rolled sushi. It’s the refreshing bite you’ll need to keep the party going. Thursday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Venetian, taogroup.com.
