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.
