Sundays in Las Vegas definitely hit differently now that the Raiders are filling up Allegiant Stadium. The NFL has provided a bit of a boost for the Strip’s nightclubs, too, but Sunday-night parties have always been more touch-and-go than touchdown across the nightlife landscape in Las Vegas.
Marquee Nightclub is looking to score with this weekend’s launch of the Greatest Show on Earth, a new weekly industry night bash bringing in big-name talent and a circus-inspired theme. Rapper Flo Rida, last seen in town at the grand opening celebration of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, kicks things off on November 7, followed by Lil Jon on November 14 and Mustard on November 21.

“The music lineup for the Greatest Show will continue to be diverse, allowing us to bring a whole new experience to life that will thrive with any artist who is serving as our headlining ringleader each Sunday,” says Dominic Ritzer, vice president of marketing at Tao Group. “Guests will encounter discovery moments from onstage performers to stilt walkers passing out cotton candy to Zoltar handing out fortunes and more.”
And locals get in free for the Sunday-night extravaganza, always a good idea for any club’s industry night.
After Tao Group acquired Hakkasan Group earlier this year, the expanded hospitality company began exploring different ways to program and counterprogram across its vast Las Vegas club portfolio, Ritzer says, “creating an optimized industry night for each venue. Every night of the week, we have at least two of our nightclub properties programmed.”
Marquee at the Cosmopolitan is focusing not only on the new Sunday event, but also on Wednesdays, with the recent launch of LowKey in the Library, offering different musical genres in the venue’s intimate club-within-the-club space. Resident DJ Lema spun at LowKey this week, and rising house-tech star Westend takes over on November 10.
Of course, Marquee continues as one of the most popular nightclub options on the Strip on Fridays and Saturdays, with Deorro, Mustard, Oliver Heldens and Sam Feldt on deck for the upcoming weekend lineup.
Marquee Dayclub is staying active on Sundays, too, transforming into a football watch party hot spot. The pool club opens at 9:30 a.m. Sundays offering full game-day food and beverage menus with music interspersed between game action.
FLO RIDA November 7, 10 p.m., $20-$30. Marquee Nightclub, 702-333-9000.
