After Hours
After the Convention
The show floor closes, but Las Vegas is just getting started. Here are tips for making the most of your nights during ACT Expo 2026.
Submit Guest List 5–7 Days Out
ACT Expo 2026 is one of the most demanding weeks in Las Vegas nightlife — the same weekend that fills convention halls also fills nightclub guest lists. Submit your NoCoverVegas request before the first day of the conference to lock your spot. Text (725) 999-9293 or use the form below with your night, group size, and venue preference.
Lanyard Off, Dress Code On
Convention floors are dressed for comfort; nightclubs enforce upscale attire. Before leaving Hampton Inn Tropicana, swap the badge lanyard and conference tote for dress shoes (men) or cocktail attire (women). Business casual from a conference day usually clears the door, but athletic wear, hats, and sneakers will get you turned away at OMNIA, XS, Hakkasan, and Marquee.
Thursday Is the Real Peak Night
For most multi-day conventions, Thursday night is the highest-demand session — speakers have wrapped, deals are signed, and energy is at its peak before Friday departures begin. If you want the full experience, Thursday at Foundation Room is it. Friday thins as early-flight attendees leave; Saturday is available for anyone extending the trip.
Dayclubs for Networking, Nightclubs for After-Hours
Pool parties are an underused extension of convention networking — the informal outdoor setting at Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, or Marquee Dayclub breaks down the formality of conference panels and badge-scanning lobbies. If ACT Expo 2026 overlaps with the March–October pool season, an afternoon dayclub slot can be more productive for relationship-building than a scheduled coffee meeting.

Hakkasan Nightclub Early May 2026 — DJ Franzen, Laidback Luke, Four Color Zack & Justin Credible
The first full week of May 2026 at Hakkasan Nightclub opens with DJ Franzen's R&Bae Wednesdays residency on May 6 — his hip-hop, R&B, and old-school set filling the Hakkasan main room for the mid-week crowd that has made Wednesdays one of the venue's signature nights. Laidback Luke follows on Thursday May 7, bringing three decades of Dutch house expertise and technical mixing precision to the MGM Grand venue for one of his first Las Vegas appearances of the spring calendar. Four Color Zack takes the room on Friday May 8, delivering his signature turntablist open-format production style to a sold-out weekend opener crowd. Justin Credible closes the first Hakkasan week of May on Saturday May 9, anchoring the hip-hop and crossover end of the Hakkasan weekly calendar — his crowd-driven style and radio-tested setlists the right energy for Saturday peak hours.
