EBC at Night vs OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar

Encore Beach Club at Night runs in two formats on the same pool deck: EBC at Night (pool closed, nightclub format) and Nightswim (pool fully open, swimming permitted during the DJ set). Both operate on select Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings from 10:30 PM through 4 AM at Encore Beach Club's 60,000-square-foot outdoor venue. Nightswim events run from late May through mid-to-late September — the window when desert temperatures keep pool water swimmable after dark. On Nightswim dates, guests can enter the pool while the headliner performs: a combination that exists at this quality level nowhere else in Las Vegas nightlife. The 2026 Wynn Nightlife roster programs both formats with the same headliner tier as XS Nightclub: Subtronics, Loud Luxury, Kaskade, deadmau5, Odd Mob, and Hugel across the season. Twenty-six furnished poolside cabanas priced from $700 are the premier VIP tier — private outdoor rooms with flat-screen TVs and Strip-view balconies that function identically whether the event is Nightswim or standard EBC at Night. The outdoor venue connects through the Encore casino floor to XS Nightclub, and groups can move between the open-air pool deck and the indoor LED production room without leaving the property. Events are confirmed around specific DJ bookings, not a fixed weekly calendar. NoCoverVegas guest list entry eliminates the $40–$75 cover and specifies whether the confirmed event is Nightswim (pool open) or EBC at Night. The overall vibe at EBC at Night is best described as outdoor open-air nightclub on the ebc pool deck. on nightswim dates (late may–sept), the pool is open during the dj set. wynn production quality — laser shows, headliner talent, desert night air.

The music programming at EBC at Night focuses on edm, house, open format, which shapes the crowd and energy throughout the night.

OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar is the most anticipated new dayclub opening on the Las Vegas Strip in a decade, debuting May 15, 2026 at Caesars Palace with Fisher headlining the grand opening. Spanning 46,000 square feet across multiple levels, the venue is operated by Tao Group — the hospitality company behind Encore Beach Club, Marquee Dayclub, Tao Beach, and OMNIA Nightclub — and designed by Rockwell Group with Mediterranean beach club influences drawn from Mykonos, St. Tropez, and Ibiza. The pool complex features two organically shaped main pools (869 square feet and 1,103 square feet respectively) surrounded by rows of custom daybeds and banquettes, with private VIP plunge pools integrated into the perimeter cabana sections. Production infrastructure separates OMNIA from every existing Strip dayclub: a custom DJ booth drives an 8K LED main stage screen engineered specifically for daylight visibility, paired with an L-Acoustics L2 concert-grade sound system capable of delivering true outdoor concert pressure across the entire deck. Above the main pool level, the year-round Skybar operates independently of pool season, featuring panoramic Las Vegas Boulevard views, cream-and-jade umbrellas, and tiered banquette seating — the only dedicated outdoor bar at Caesars Palace with that elevation of unobstructed Strip views. A dedicated bridge connects OMNIA Dayclub directly to OMNIA Nightclub, creating a combined 121,000-square-foot Tao Group complex where guests transition from afternoon pool to nightclub without re-entering from the street. The 2026 resident DJ lineup spans progressive house, melodic techno, big room EDM, and festival crossover: Tiësto, Zedd, Chris Lake, Alesso, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Deorro, and Elderbrook hold resident slots across the season, with the opening weekend (May 15–17) bringing Fisher, Rüfüs du Sol, and Martin Garrix during EDC Week. An American Bistro-style poolside menu raises the culinary program above the typical Las Vegas dayclub offering. The venue enforces a strict 21+ age policy; proper resort attire is required and athletic wear, jeans, cargo shorts, chains, and hard-soled shoes are prohibited at the door.
