The Full Picture

Detailed Experience Comparison

AZILO Ultra Pool at SAHARA Las Vegas is a 35,000-square-foot Moroccan-inspired outdoor dayclub on the North Strip — the first Las Vegas pool venue to install a two-story wraparound LED display system as the central architectural element of the space rather than as a supplementary production add-on. The 10,000-square-foot two-story LED wall spans the DJ stage end of the pool deck in a configuration that envelops the entire space in high-resolution video and synchronized lighting, visible at full clarity in direct desert sunlight — a display engineering challenge that most outdoor venues fail because conventional LED panels wash out in bright afternoon conditions. AZILO's system was designed specifically for the Nevada outdoor light environment. The Moroccan design language is applied throughout the physical architecture: intricate geometric tile work, warm-tone stone surfaces, lush tropical landscaping integrated into the pool perimeter, and ornate fixture choices that create a visual identity rooted in Marrakech and Ibiza beach club culture rather than the neutral-luxury white canvas that Strip mega-dayclubs default to. Three VIP bungalows with private plunge pools positioned along the venue perimeter represent the premium tier — each with a dedicated flat-screen television, full bottle service infrastructure, and a private water feature enclosed within the bungalow reservation zone. Fourteen lily pad platforms in the main pool position groups in the water directly facing the LED stage, a format specific to AZILO's design that creates the most direct pool-to-stage proximity at any Las Vegas dayclub. Open daily from March through October, the programming spans hip-hop, Latin, top-40, and EDM with a curated open-format approach that matches the daytime demographic.

Soleia is the 65,000-square-foot rooftop dayclub at The Vanderpump Hotel, positioned eleven stories above the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road at the geographic center of the Las Vegas Strip. Conceived and designed by Lisa Vanderpump alongside interior designer Nick Alain, the venue is built around a romantic botanical identity: rose gold structural fixtures, living moss-green wall installations, dusty lilac upholstery, custom floral arrangements, and bespoke decorative details drawn from Vanderpump's broader hospitality portfolio. The rooftop layout includes three pools arranged in cascading tiers, nine bungalows along the perimeter with access to shared private dipping pools, thirteen mezzanine cabanas on the second level with unobstructed Strip views in both directions, and forty-plus daybeds with full poolside bottle service. Programming spans R&B, EDM, and Top 40 from 11 AM into the early evening, with headliner DJ sets on weekends and holiday dates. Caesars Entertainment manages hospitality operations alongside the Vanderpump brand at this 188-room boutique property, open May through October for the 2026 pool season.
