No matter the month or the temperature, it doesn’t truly feel like summer here until the pool parties flow into the night, when sun-drenched dayclubs turn the tables on themselves and keep the energy going with these uniquely Vegas events. There are three such celebrations launching this weekend, all of which deserve your attention.

First off, Mandalay Bay’s perennial party source Daylight Beach Club brings back last year’s innovation, the Latin night swim, with Neon Vibra. The Saturday night bash is saturated with reggaeton sounds, squads of dancers and island-inspired lights and décor, and it might pop up on a few Friday nights this season, so keep those eyes open. Dancer and choreographer turned rapper and actor Nio Garcia, known for the smash remix of “Te Bote” and his Billboard-charting album Now or Never, opens this year’s Neon Vibra series. Expect Garcia and his crew to take up every inch of Daylight’s giant stage and provide fabulous festival vibes. May 6, 10 p.m., $30-$40+, Daylight Beach Club, daylightvegas.com.

You’ll want to stay in bed for as long as possible Sunday to rest up for Evening Tide, one of the newest night swim parties on the Strip at the very fresh Tao Beach Dayclub at Venetian. The venue reopened last year and recalibrated the concept of a rooftop oasis in Las Vegas, raising the stakes for atmosphere, food and drink, and perhaps most importantly, superstar talent taking the stage for daytime and nighttime parties. EDM megastar Illenium—yeah, the guy who played the first-ever concert at Allegiant Stadium—is rolling in with the Tide this weekend, and the series continues through the summer with sets from Fisher, Chris Lake, Alesso and more. May 7, 10 p.m., $20-$30+, Tao Beach Dayclub, events.taogroup.com.

Last but the opposite of least, we’ve got the big dog, the original NightSwim at Wynn. XS has expanded its stage and DJ booth considerably this year, pushing the artist and the performance closer to the water and encouraging those aquatic hijinks you love so much. There will be bigger pyrotechnics and other production elements, and of course, the biggest names around—starting with Diplo kicking things off Sunday night. After this weekend, you might never get in the pool again when the sun is out. Darker is better. May 7, 10:30 p.m., $30-$40+, XS Nightclub, wynnsocial.com.
