More of Las Vegas’ Top Dayclubs and Pool Parties for 2024

Although pool season in Las Vegas begins in March, the dayclub/pool party scene is just heating up now – along with the weather – as the city’s top venues compete to attract partygoers willing to pop in for bottle service, food, daybeds, and cabanas while enjoying tunes from top DJs and live artists. The mantra is party-hearty at these pulsating venues, where days of operation and entry prices/minimum spend vary. Check websites for the latest updates. (Because of the sheer number of quality daylife options in Vegas, this story runs in two parts. See Part I here.)

Sammy’s Island, a Poolside Oasis (Palms Casino Resort)
Benefiting from a property-wide, $700-million dollar renovation in 2019 – just before the pandemic-era shutdown – the off-Strip Palms’ refreshed and reimagined pool area is all-new again for 2024 with the introduction of Sammy’s Island. Rocker Sammy Hagar’s signature Baja beach vibe is imprinted widely on the venue’s food, music, spirits, and design elements. Fridays feature a “Ladies First” promo with $100 cabanas for ladies, a free glass of champagne, and a $59 unlimited “Rose All Day” package.

Wet Republic (MGM Grand)
With thousands of hardbodies gyrating through the venue’s massive 54,500-square foot complex of large pools, intimate dipping pools, cabanas, and lounge areas, all driven by the thumping sound system, Wet Republic epitomizes the stereotypical Vegas daylife experience – on steroids. Premium bottle and pitcher service keeps the crowd lubricated, while celebrity DJs mix their sets to provide the soundtrack that keeps the party humming.

Drai’s Beachclub (The Cromwell)
Fitting right in with the boutique Cromwell is the relatively intimate Drai’s Beachclub, where the Strip views from the rooftop simply can’t be beaten. That assumes, however, that partygoers bother to look past the lush decor and towering palm trees that frame the picturesque pool deck. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the club’s roster of resident artists includes hip-hop and R&B heavyweights like Ne-Yo, Lil Baby, Wiz Khalifa and DaBaby.

Daylight Beach Club (Mandalay Bay)
Offering what may be the best value proposition in its competitive set, Daylight Beach Club’s daybeds, and cabanas are priced attractively, with all-day reservations for daybeds available for a $100 food-and-beverage spend on weekdays. Its proximity to the adjoining Mandalay Beach Club and associated wave generator make this the only Strip “beach” club with a sandy beach and wave action nearby.

LIQUID Pool Lounge (ARIA Resort & Casino)
More of a pool lounge than an all-out party platform like the other massive dayclub experiences on this list, LIQUID’s low-key vibe features local DJs and thus a reduced price point for entry, along with a lower threshold on minimum F&B spend for daybeds and cabanas. Think of it as your friendly neighborhood pool party – just scaled up for Vegas.

Kassi Beach Club (Virgin Hotels Las Vegas)
Off-strip but certainly not out of the running, Virgin’s Kassi Beach Club is built on the hallowed ground of the legendary Rehab Pool Party (at the ex-Hard Rock Hotel & Casino). And with those big shoes (or flip-flops) to fill, Kassi’s management aims to provide a more mature and elevated take on Vegas dayclubs by keeping the vibe a little more relaxed and calm. Consider the ambiance as somewhere between a standard resort pool and a thumping dayclub. The menu skews Mediterranean with some tasty shareables, but the Poolside Popsicles – in flavors like Vodka Hibiscus Lemonade – let guests chill with a kick.
