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 Dell Technologies World.
Submit Guest List 5–7 Days Out

The same week that fills Dell Technologies World's session rooms also fills Strip guest lists. Submit your NoCoverVegas request before the conference opens to lock your spot. Text (725) 999-9293 or use the form below with your night, group size, and venue preference.
Industry professionals and conference attendees: Dress Code Reminder
Dell Technologies World's industry professionals and conference attendees arrive dressed for the show floor — which means badge lanyards, branded totes, and comfortable footwear that will not pass the nightclub door. Before leaving The Orleans, swap the conference wear for dress shoes (men) or cocktail attire (women). Athletic wear, hats, and sneakers are turned away at OMNIA, XS, Hakkasan, and Marquee without exception.
Peak Night: Wednesday or Thursday
Convention attendees in Las Vegas split between nightclubs, casino entertainment, and strip clubs. Wednesday or Thursday is the highest-demand session — deals have been signed, speakers have wrapped, and the entire Dell Technologies World crowd is still in Las Vegas before weekend departures begin. If you want the full experience, wednesday or thursday at Hakkasan Nightclub is it. The following nights thin quickly as early-flight attendees leave.
Dell Technologies World: Dayclubs for Networking
Pool parties are an underused extension of Dell Technologies World networking — the informal outdoor setting at Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, or Marquee Dayclub removes the formality of badge-scanning lobbies. When industry professionals and conference attendees step off the specialized exhibitions show floor onto a pool party terrace, the conversation dynamic shifts entirely.
Nightlife Calendar

Hakkasan Nightclub Mid-May 2026 — DJ Franzen & Twinsick
The week between EDC and Memorial Day Weekend brings Hakkasan Nightclub back to its regular-season programming. DJ Franzen returns for R&Bae Wednesdays on May 20 — his fourth and second-to-last Hakkasan Wednesday of the month — delivering the hip-hop and R&B open-format set that has made this midweek slot a consistent draw at MGM Grand. Twinsick follows on Thursday May 21, opening the pre-Memorial Day week with the duo's blend of bass-forward electronic production and high-energy crowd interaction that has made them a returning Hakkasan booking. The May 20–21 window falls in the calm between two of Las Vegas's biggest May events, offering one of the more accessible Hakkasan nights of the month with shorter lines and straightforward guest list access.

Post-EDC Wednesday Las Vegas 2026 — Two Friends, L'Core & DJ Franzen
Wednesday May 20, 2026 occupies a singular position in the Las Vegas nightlife calendar: the day after EDC Week's final booking (Martin Garrix at OMNIA, Tuesday May 19) and the day before Memorial Day Weekend's opening night (Thursday May 21). For the tens of thousands of EDC attendees who extended their Las Vegas trips through the mid-week stretch, the post-EDC Wednesday is the last true recovery window before the MDW crowd arrives — consistently offering shorter lines, easier guest list access, and lower prices than either holiday bracket surrounding it. The standout booking is Two Friends at EBC at Night, the nightclub arm of the Encore Beach Club campus at Wynn Encore. The Los Angeles duo of Eli Sones and Matthew Halper — known for the Big Bootie Mix series, a long-running catalog of genre-spanning DJ sets that blend pop, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music — bring their crowd-first setlist approach to the 10:30 PM Wednesday slot. EBC at Night operates on the Encore campus in nightclub hours, retaining Wynn's production standards in a setting that bridges the beach club energy with late-night format. Two Friends appear across both Encore Beach Club (daytime) and EBC at Night (evening) in their residency circuit, making them one of the most versatile bookings in the Wynn nightlife portfolio and one of the few EBC acts performing both formats in the same season. Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan runs Lowkey in the Library on Wednesday nights — an intimate deep house concept hosted in the Library room, one of three distinct spaces that define Marquee's programming identity. L'Core takes the May 20 date, delivering deep house and atmospheric house music in the Library's acoustically focused environment. The Lowkey format is Marquee's mid-week counterpoint to its weekend headline programming: where Saturday nights bring festival-scale EDM to the main room, the Library concept draws the house music crowd that wants the Cosmopolitan venue experience in its most intimate form — a separate entrance, dedicated bar, and distinct sound system that function as a standalone venue within Marquee's footprint. Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand runs R&Bae Wednesdays with DJ Franzen — his fourth and second-to-last R&Bae Wednesday of May. Franzen's hip-hop, R&B, and old-school open-format sets provide a complete genre alternative to the electronic-focused EBC at Night and Marquee bookings, making the post-EDC Wednesday one of the more diverse single-night lineups of the May calendar. The Liquid Pool Lounge at ARIA opens its Wednesday Dip with DJ Buza for an afternoon pool option before the evening circuit opens. Drai's After Hours at the Vanderpump Hotel (formerly The Cromwell) runs its R&B Thursdays after-hours format starting at 1:00 AM — the natural extension of the night for guests closing out the Wednesday circuit.
