Vegas Pool Party Season: Everything You Need to Know
The complete guide to Vegas pool parties — when they open, which ones are best, what to wear, and how to get in free.
Pool party season in Las Vegas runs from March through October, and it's one of the best reasons to visit during summer. The biggest DJs in the world perform poolside, the energy is unreal, and the sun is always shining. Here's everything you need to know.
When Does Pool Season Start?
Most dayclubs open in early-to-mid March and close in late October. Peak season is Memorial Day through Labor Day. Some clubs (like Stadium Swim at Circa) are open year-round with heated pools.
The Best Pool Parties
- Encore Beach Club (Wynn) — The gold standard. 60,000 sq ft, world-class DJs, bungalows with private plunge pools.
- Marquee Dayclub (Cosmopolitan) — Multi-level pools with Strip views. Strong tech-house programming.
- LIV Beach (Fontainebleau) — Miami energy meets Vegas production. Brand new and already a top-tier dayclub.
- Ayu Dayclub (Resorts World) — Balinese-inspired tropical escape with Zouk Group's DJ roster.
- Tao Beach (Venetian) — Intimate vibe with Asian-inspired design and excellent DJs.
- Stadium Swim (Circa) — Year-round pools with a 143-foot screen. More sports-bar-meets-pool than club.
What to Wear
Swimwear is required — no exceptions. Board shorts or swim trunks for men, bikinis or one-pieces for women. Cover-ups are fine for entry but you'll need swimwear underneath.
Not allowed: Jeans, cargo shorts, athletic wear, work boots, t-shirts in the pool area.
How to Get In Free
NoCoverVegas offers free guest list at every dayclub on the Strip. Pool party covers normally run $25-75, so this saves you real money. Sign up before 6 PM the day before for best availability.
Pro Tips
- Arrive within the first hour of opening (around 11 AM) for the best spots
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen — Vegas sun is brutal
- Bring cash for tips — poolside service runs on gratuity
- Lockers are available at most venues for valuables
- Stay hydrated — alternate drinks with water
Pool Party + Nightclub Combos

- Encore Beach Club → EBC at Night / XS Nightclub

This makes for the perfect day-to-night experience.
