Google Cloud Next Nightlife Guide 2026

The best nightclubs, gentlemen's clubs, and pool parties to hit during Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas. Free guest list and complimentary limo for all Google Cloud Next attendees.

Overview

What Nightlife Is Like During Google Cloud Next

Google Cloud Next is one of the biggest events on the Las Vegas calendar, drawing over 30,000 attendees to the city each year during April. 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.

Since Google Cloud Next falls during April, Vegas pool season is in full swing. That means dayclubs and pool parties will be open, giving you the perfect daytime option before transitioning to nightclubs after dark.

Getting Around

Transportation from Mandalay Bay Convention Center to Nightlife

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

The most convenient option. Most nightclubs are a 5-15 minute ride from Mandalay Bay Convention Center. During convention weeks, expect slightly longer wait times and surge pricing around 10-11 PM. The designated rideshare pickup areas are well-marked at all major venues.

Free Limo (Strip Clubs)

Sign up through NoCoverVegas and get a complimentary limo from your hotel to any of our partner gentlemen's clubs. The limo picks you up and drops you off right at the door — no cover charge, no hassle.

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.
