The Top Las Vegas Dayclubs and Pool Parties for 2024 (Part I)
by David Yeskel /Although pool season in Las Vegas begins in March, the dayclub/pool party scene is really 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. And because of the sheer number of quality daylife options in Vegas, this story will run in two parts. Part II coming soon…
Encore Beach Club (Wynn Las Vegas)
Upscale is the operative word at luxe Encore Beach Club, where patrons in the posh environs spread out in the 55,000 sq. ft. indoor/outdoor tropical oasis while enjoying a stacked 2024 artist roster that includes renowned artists Marshmello, The Chainsmokers, David Guetta, Diplo and others. The spacious bungalows, lily pads, and gaming pavilion contribute to the upmarket ambiance, and the venue attracts a see-and-be-seen crowd, as evidenced by the dressed-to-kill (only in fashionable swimwear, naturally) clientele exiting into the casino in the late afternoon, no doubt preparing to continue the party later during EBC at Night.
AYU Dayclub (Resorts World Las Vegas)
In only its third season of operation, AYU Dayclub has already taken its place in the pantheon of Las Vegas dayclubs. Inspired by the islands of Southeast Asia, AYU’s lush oasis will feature artists Kaskade, Cash Cash, and Illenium in its summer lineup. Run by Singapore-based nightclub operator Zouk Group, the venue aims to seamlessly segue nightlife into day life on its handsome deck. Guests also have the unique option of sitting indoors at the adjacent Zouk Nightclub for comfort – with poolside action just steps away.
Marquee Dayclub (The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas)
When The Cosmopolitan transitioned to MGM Resorts International ownership two years ago, party outlets Marquee Nightclub and Marquee Dayclub came right along in the deal – without missing a beat. Summer Sundays are blossoming at Marquee this year with “;Full Bloom,” a festive day party that transforms the venue into a floral paradise with roaming performers. Later, “Drenched After Dark” cools down the night at the 22,000-square foot, multi-level complex.
LIV Beach (Fontainebleau Las Vegas)
The strikingly beautiful interior design theme at Fontainebleau Las Vegas is continued outdoors, where a series of pools – one more gorgeous than the other – on the Oasis Pool Deck leads up to the property’s attractive, two-level dayclub, LIV Beach. Via billowing drapery flowing from the second-floor mezzanine, lush greenery, and pops of bright colors, LIV Beach’s designers aim to evoke the south of France while attracting fashionable clientele to relax, party, and imbibe at the requisite cabanas, daybeds, and lounges amidst the upmarket environs. Highlighting LIV Beach’s debut summer artist roster are Calvin Harris, Tiesto, John Summit, James Kennedy, and Party Favor.
AZILO Ultra Pool (Sahara Las Vegas)
As a relatively new entrant to the pool party scene on the Strip, AZILO Ultra Pool’s distinguishing feature may be its affordable, themed nighttime events. Each week, AZILO hosts “Mala Vida Fridays” with hot Latin tunes spun by DJs; admission is free with RSVP. Saturdays bring “Reggae Pool Nights” to the indoor/outdoor venue with a lineup of Reggae legends and fresh talent. Admission for that event is $27 plus tax/fees.
TAO Beach (The Venetian)
One of the highest-profile dayclubs on the Strip welcomes back all-star DJs Alesso, Tiesto, and Zedd for 2024 along with VIP cabanas featuring private plunge pools. The club’s “Chef Experiences” this summer fit in perfectly with TAO Beach’s over-the-top Vegas ethos, especially the “Sushi Model Service,” which includes an omakase-style sushi service presented atop a live model. The $3,500 affair also includes the services of a sushi chef and a seafood tower dripping with lobster, shrimp, and oysters.
