The pool party scene is more exciting than ever in Las Vegas.
Beat the spring and summer heat with a reservation at one of Sin City’s best dayclubs. Some of our favorites continue to mix things up for the 2026 season. Check out what’s new below when lounging, dancing and drinking by the water. And, of course, make sure to check out the 2026 pool party schedule.
The big news is the arrival of Omnia Dayclub & Skybar, which debuts the weekend of May 15-17 with a rare Vegas DJ set by Rüfüs du Sol and parties led by Fisher and Martin Garrix. The lineup throughout summer will include Tiësto, Alesso, Afrojack and others under the Tao Group umbrella. Omnia Dayclub is a multi-level venue with an entryway staircase on the Strip and a bridge that connects to the neighboring Omnia Nightclub. Expect wild pool parties by day and a lounge atmosphere that focuses on food and cocktails at night.
Say goodbye to the Cromwell and hello to the Vanderpump Hotel. The boutique resort’s name change comes with a complete makeover, designed by restaurateur and reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump. The rooftop pool party once known as Drai’s is now Soleia. The views are still spectacular and the cabanas are among the best on the Strip. Expect to see a renewed dedication to the food and drink selection and don’t be surprised if the rap and R&B is toned down in favor of EDM and lounge beats.
In another sign that Las Vegas is embracing its role as a sports town, Daylight was completely revamped and will now be Tailgate Beach Club. DJs will keep the vibe going during commercials, but the focus will be on viewing parties with a schedule that takes the biggest sports events into consideration. (Ready for the World Cup this year?) The location at Mandalay Bay is one of the most convenient on the Strip and includes a private parking lot.
Bel-Aire Backyard returns to action at the Durango resort in the Southwest Valley. The venue has a lounge feel, including wet decks, cabanas and at least two dedicated cocktail bars. A nighttime concert series is back for the second year, featuring appearances by Scotty McCreery, Jackson Dean, J Boog, Thievery Corporation and more.
Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World has reshuffled its lineup in 2026, toning down high-priced headliners in favor of mid-level DJs who aren’t as well known, but keep the party atmosphere strong. Lil Wayne appears to be the one exception. The rapper is making multiple appearances throughout the season.
Encore Beach Club and XS at the Wynn eagerly poached Kaskade from Resorts World and continues to have one of the strongest DJ lineup on the Strip with Marshmello, Deadmau5, the Chainsmokers, Calvin Harris, Diplo and others booked for 2026 residencies. EBC also hosts Framework in the Desert, a mini-festival over three days (April 10-12) with a loaded lineup that includes Disclosure and Armin Van Buuren.
Marquee at the Cosmopolitan has one of the longest-running pool parties in Vegas, and is better than ever. The venue’s massive wraparound-style video walls by the pool were upgraded for the 2026 season.
