Clubs & Dayclubs in Las Vegas

LIV Nightclub $$$$ · Fontainebleau · Groot Hospitality
David Grutman brought the Miami original to the Strip when Fontainebleau opened in December 2023. The room the residency DJs actually want. Papi Steak and Komodo are in the same building, so dinner and the club are one reservation conversat
LIV Beach $$$$ · Fontainebleau · dayclub
The 35,000 square foot dayclub above the Fontainebleau pool deck, Friday through Sunday, 11am to 6pm. Same Groot team as LIV downstairs, so one call handles the day and the night.
OMNIA Nightclub Night club · $$$$ · Caesars Palace · Tao Group
The one with the kinetic chandelier over the main floor. Still the biggest room on the Strip for a marquee DJ night, and the Heart of OMNIA is where the table you actually want sits.

Marquee Nightclub Night club · $$$$ · Cosmopolitan · Tao Group
Three rooms under one roof: the main stage, the Boombox for hip hop, and the Library, which has a fireplace and a pool table and is where you go when the main floor is too much.
3708 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Marquee Dayclub Club · $$$$ · Cosmopolitan · Tao Group
The rooftop version, and it converts to Marquee Dayclub Dome in winter so it runs year round. Bungalows on the deck are the play for a group that wants shade and a door.
Located In the Cosmopolitan, 3708 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
TAO Nightclub $$$$ · Venetian · Tao Group
The original Vegas Tao and still one of the highest-grossing clubs in America. Walk through the restaurant to get in, which is the point: eat first, and the room upstairs is already expecting you.
