Best Las Vegas Nightclubs in 2023

Chateau has a rooftop deck with crowded dancefloors, string lights, French decor and spectacular views of the Bellagio fountains across the street. Chateau is looser and less intense than other clubs, operating Thursday-Saturday with local DJs.

A massive space with an outdoor pool, XS has a reputation for hosting high-energy parties in an upscale environment. Some of the decorations are made with real gold. However, big-name DJs like Swedish House Mafia, Marshmello, and the Chainsmokers are the best reason to party here. VIP tables are in high-demand and worth every penny, especially during weekly Nightswim parties at the pool.

A true East-meets-West experience, Tao brings some welcome Asian style to the heart of the Strip. Located above Tao restaurant, the 10,000-square-foot nightclub features multiple rooms with a different DJ in each one. Lots of space, although the balcony overlooking the Strip is a little smaller than it should be.

Drai’s operates as both a nightclub and dayclub (with a separate outdoor pool deck). Located 11 stories above Las Vegas Boulevard on the rooftop of The Cromwell, the views are spectacular. The regular lineup of rappers and hip-hop stars includes an exclusive multiyear residency by Chris Brown. For a night that never ends, venture downstairs to Drai’s Afterhours in the basement of the hotel.

Hakkasn is a massive multi-level party palace with EDM stars like Steve Aoki and Afrojack. The kinetic light installation over the main dancefloor is worth the price of admission alone. The Ling Ling Club is a more intimate club-within-a-club. Sister Hakkasan Restaurant next door serves elevated Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. Whether dining or partying, take advantage of the exclusive valet when parking.

After a long closure (and brief run as Apex Social Club), Ghostbar is back in action under new ownership at the Palms. Although more of a lounge than a nightclub, there’s plenty of room for dancing, both indoors and out on the patio. So grab a drink and enjoy the incredible strip views from the 55th floor. Ghostbar hosts Skye Dee Miles and her soul and funk show “Midnight Skye – The Revival” on Fridays and Saturdays.

This dark and seductive downstairs space at the Aria features a tight dancefloor, hot servers in skimpy clothing and five themed VIP rooms. Current headliners include Lil Jon, O.T. Genasis and Brody Jenner. Flawless Mondays is the best Monday-night party on the Strip, and a perfect way to kick off the week.

Omnia is modern and high-tech in every way, from the digitally-enhanced images on the walls to a massive chandelier that moves to the music over the dancefloor. The venue recently lost longtime headliner Calvin Harris, but has’t lost a step with Martin Garrix, Kaskade and Illenium performing regularly. Grab some fresh air on an outdoor terrace.

Marquee is a collection of enticing environments with multiple indoor and outdoor spaces. The rooftop pool deck has plenty of beats, food and bottle service to enjoy. Take advantage of the fun before or after the sun goes down. Drenched After Dark is a new late-night Sunday pool party that encourages guests to hop in the water.

On the Record is a dance club and lounge with a rock n’ roll vibe. The walls are covered in vintage concert posters with an outdoor patio, speakeasy and karaoke rooms among its secluded areas. Retro 80s tends to be the music of choice. The DJ booth looks like a Rolls Royce and an outdoor patio includes a British-style double-decker bus.

Dark and cavernous with three levels, Light Nightclub is a futuristic spectacle with a booming sound system, dancers and a massive LED wall as a backdrop for the DJs. The schedule is down to just Fridays and Saturdays right now with a lineup of mid-level DJs and the occasional big-name hip-hop act. You might score a good value here.
