How to Get on the Guest List at Any Vegas Club

Guest lists are the single best way to experience Las Vegas nightlife without spending a fortune. Every major club on the Strip offers guest list entry — and NoCoverVegas makes it completely free to get on the list.

Here's exactly how guest lists work in 2026.

What Is a Guest List?

A guest list is a pre-approved entry list that lets you skip the general admission cover charge at a nightclub. It's managed by promoters and nightlife hosts — and it's completely free. There is no catch.

Clubs use guest lists to fill the venue early in the night. Once the club is full, the guest list closes and everyone else pays cover. That's why timing matters.

Step-by-Step: How to Sign Up

1. Choose your venue — Pick the club you want to visit. Check what DJs are performing that night.
2. Sign up before 6 PM — Submit your name, group size, and date through NoCoverVegas. Earlier is better.
3. Get your confirmation — You'll receive a text confirmation with venue details and arrival instructions.
4. Arrive between 10:30 PM – 12:30 AM — Check in at the guest list entrance (separate from general admission).
5. Walk in free — Show your ID, confirm your name on the list, and enjoy.

The Rules You Need to Know

For women: Guest list almost always means free entry, regardless of group size. No ratio requirements.

For men: Most nightclubs require an even or better ratio (equal or more women than men in your group). An all-male group may need to wait longer or pay a reduced cover. The best strategy: arrive early (before 11 PM) with an even-ratio group.

For everyone: Guest list entry closes between 12:30–1:00 AM at most venues. After that, everyone pays cover.

Guest List vs. Tickets vs. Bottle Service

• Guest list (free): Free entry, subject to ratio rules for men. Best for budget-conscious visitors.
• Pre-sale tickets ($30-75): Guaranteed entry regardless of ratio. Good for all-male groups.
• Bottle service ($500+): Reserved table with bottles, dedicated server, guaranteed entry for your group. Best for groups of 4+ who want the full VIP experience.

Which Clubs Have the Best Guest Lists?

Every major club offers guest list, but some are more generous than others:

• Best for men's groups: Drai's, Marquee, and OMNIA tend to be more flexible with ratios
• Best for women: All clubs — women always get free guest list entry
• Best for large groups: XS and Zouk have the capacity to accommodate bigger parties
• Best availability: Thursday and Sunday nights have the most guest list spots

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Arriving after 12:30 AM — Guest list is closed. You'll pay full cover.
• Not following dress code — No sneakers, shorts, or athletic wear. You'll be turned away.
• Wrong ratio — 4 guys with 0 women will have a tough time at most clubs.
• Signing up day-of after 6 PM — Many lists fill up. Sign up early.
• Not bringing valid ID — No ID, no entry. Period.
