Submit Guest List 5–7 Days Out

Industry professionals and conference attendees: Dress Code Reminder
DesignerCon Las Vegas'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 Sunset Station, 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 DesignerCon Las Vegas 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.
DesignerCon Las Vegas: Dayclubs for Networking
Pool parties are an underused extension of DesignerCon Las Vegas 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.
