The best nightclubs, gentlemen's clubs, and late-night spots to hit during Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Las Vegas. Free guest list and complimentary ride for all Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction attendees.
Overview
What Nightlife Is Like During Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction
Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction is one of the biggest events on the Las Vegas calendar, drawing over 25,000 attendees to the city each year during January. When the show floor closes, the energy shifts to the Strip's world-famous nightclubs, rooftop lounges, and gentlemen's clubs.
Convention weeks are some of the busiest nightlife periods in Las Vegas. Clubs often bring in top-tier headliners to capitalize on the influx of visitors, and venues fill up faster than usual. Getting on a guest list before you arrive is the smartest move you can make — it guarantees free entry and lets you skip the general admission line.
While pool parties are closed during January, Las Vegas nightlife is still running at peak capacity. Indoor nightclubs, gentlemen's clubs, and late-night lounges are your best options — and they're all free with a NoCoverVegas guest list.

Getting Around
Transportation from Las Vegas Convention Center to Nightlife
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

Las Vegas Monorail
The monorail runs along the east side of the Strip, connecting MGM Grand, Bally's/Paris, Flamingo, Harrah's/The LINQ, and the Las Vegas Convention Center. It's a great option if your nightclub is at one of these hotels. Single rides are $5; day passes are $13.
Walking the Strip
If your hotel is on the Strip and your nightclub is nearby, walking is a perfectly viable option. Most major nightclubs are inside casino-hotels. Just be aware that distances can be deceiving — what looks like a short walk on a map can easily take 20-30 minutes with pedestrian bridges and casino floor-throughs.
