As night falls, Electra transitions from a premium sports lounge into a full nightclub experience with resident DJs, VIP table service, and a dance floor atmosphere.

Voted best gay nightclub in Las Vegas for nine consecutive years.

Planning Your Trip

How to Visit Both Venues

Most visitors to Las Vegas enjoy Electra Cocktail Club and Piranha Nightclub on different nights rather than trying to squeeze both into a single evening. Both venues are full-night experiences, and rushing between them means missing the best parts of each. If you have a two-night trip, plan Electra Cocktail Club for one night and Piranha Nightclub for the other. For longer trips, you might revisit your favorite or explore the remaining nightclubs on the Strip. NoCoverVegas offers free guest list at both, so there is no extra cost to doing multiple nights.

For transportation between Electra Cocktail Club (The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort) and Piranha Nightclub (Fruit Loop District (Paradise Road)), rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are the fastest option. Most rides between Strip venues take 5 to 15 minutes and cost $10 to $25 depending on surge pricing. Avoid walking between off-Strip venues at night — distances in Las Vegas are deceptive and the desert heat persists well into the evening during summer months. Taxis are available at all major hotel taxi stands, though rideshare apps typically offer shorter wait times and better pricing.
