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 HPE Discover.

Submit Guest List 5–7 Days Out

HPE Discover 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 Waldorf Astoria, 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 Jewel Nightclub 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 HPE Discover overlaps with the March–October pool season, an afternoon dayclub slot can be more productive for relationship-building than a scheduled coffee meeting.

Nightlife Calendar

What's On in Las Vegas During HPE Discover

Las Vegas runs headliner nightlife events every weekend regardless of what convention is in town. Here is exactly what is happening at clubs near Waldorf Astoria while you are in Las Vegas for HPE Discover — so you can plan your nights before you arrive.

Hakkasan June 2026 — R&Bae Wednesdays with DJ Franzen

Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand runs its R&Bae Wednesday series through all four Wednesdays of June 2026, with DJ Franzen anchoring the midweek programming on June 3, 10, 17, and 24.

R&Bae is Hakkasan's signature Wednesday concept — a more relaxed and groove-focused alternative to the weekend EDM headliner circuit, drawing a crowd of Strip hotel guests, locals, and mid-week visitors who want the Hakkasan production experience at lower cover prices and reduced weekend crowds. The June run of R&Bae Wednesdays covers the full month from the post-EDC Week recovery period through the late June stretch, giving Hakkasan consistent Wednesday traffic across one of the busiest summer months in Las Vegas.

The nearest options: Jewel Nightclub (0.3 mi), Marquee Nightclub (0.3 mi), Hakkasan Nightclub (0.4 mi).

Guest list via NoCoverVegas is free at all of these venues — submit before the convention starts.

Pool parties during HPE Discover. HPE Discover in June means the full Las Vegas pool party circuit is running. Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, Marquee Dayclub, and TAO Beach operate Friday and Saturday from 11 AM.
