About InfoComm 2026
InfoComm is the world's most vital professional audiovisual trade show, produced by AVIXA — the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association — and held annually at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The 2026 edition runs on the exhibit floor June 17 through June 19, with AVIXA education sessions, CTS certification programs, and industry workshops filling the West Hall meeting rooms beginning June 13. The show draws 30,000 to 44,000 AV and IT professionals from more than 110 countries — systems integrators, AV consultants, facilities managers, broadcast engineers, technology manufacturers, live event production companies, corporate IT leadership teams, and end-user buyers responsible for AV infrastructure at institutional scale.
The 2026 exhibit floor features 750+ exhibiting companies organized across two primary zones. Central Hall covers Work technologies: unified communications platforms, video conferencing systems, digital signage networks, enterprise AV management software, control systems from Crestron, AMX, and Extron, room scheduling and occupancy technology, and the full range of AV solutions deployed in corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and government environments. North Hall covers Play technologies: professional audio equipment from L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik, Meyer Sound, JBL Professional, and QSC Audio running at demonstration SPL levels in purpose-built environments, alongside broadcast AV infrastructure, live event production technology, theatrical and architectural lighting systems from ETC and Martin Professional, and staging and rigging hardware for the full entertainment industry spectrum.
For 2026, the final exhibit day — Friday June 19 — falls on Juneteenth, a federal holiday that drives significant leisure travel to Las Vegas and elevates the nightclub programming at every major Strip venue to peak-summer booking levels simultaneously with the InfoComm closing night. IC26 After Dark, InfoComm's official after-hours program, runs all three exhibit nights with free admission for InfoComm badge holders before 1:00 AM: The Studio at Hakkasan on Wednesday, TAO Nightclub at The Venetian Resort on Thursday, and OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace on Friday — Steve Aoki as the Juneteenth closing-night headliner.
The pro AV industry's relationship with Las Vegas nightclubs during InfoComm week is a case study in audience-environment fit. Systems integrators who specify line array speaker systems, commission LED video wall installations, and tune acoustic treatment for commercial clients spend the InfoComm exhibit day evaluating that technology in booth and demonstration form, then spend the evening inside the most fully realized implementations of that same technology in live commercial operation. The kinetic chandelier at OMNIA Nightclub is the most technically complex single piece of installed entertainment technology on the Las Vegas Strip. The L-Acoustics systems running XS Nightclub and Hakkasan at full operational load are the same product family evaluated at manufacturer exhibit booths on the InfoComm floor during the day. This guide covers badge pickup logistics, exhibit-floor strategy, AVIXA certification, and the three-night after-hours circuit that the InfoComm crowd has developed into one of convention Las Vegas's most distinctive annual traditions.

Badge Pickup & Registration
Registration and badge pickup is in the LVCC West Hall lobby. Pre-registered attendees can use self-service express kiosks — bring your confirmation email's QR code or open the InfoComm mobile app to the digital badge screen and scan directly at the kiosk for badge printing in under a minute. On-site walk-up registration is available at staffed counters in the same West Hall lobby area, but lines at the staffed counters routinely run 30 to 45 minutes on Wednesday morning when the exhibit hall opens for the first time.
InfoComm badge pickup opens several days before the exhibit hall opens on June 17: attendees arriving for the June 13–16 AVIXA education sessions and CTS certification program can collect their exhibit badge at the same West Hall kiosks with no wait during the less-crowded pre-exhibit window. Arriving Wednesday morning with a pre-registered badge and using the express kiosk avoids the staffed counter backup that forms by 9 AM on opening day.
The InfoComm mobile app includes a digital badge backup, interactive floor maps for both the Central Hall and North Hall exhibit zones with exhibitor search and filtering, a full education and certification session schedule with a personal schedule builder, and a manufacturer events calendar for the off-floor evening programs. Download the app and log in before you travel — the convention center Wi-Fi is variable during peak exhibit hours and offline functionality on the show floor is essential.
Exhibit Floor Structure
InfoComm 2026 organizes the exhibit floor by application category across two primary technology zones, with immersive Activation Hub environments embedded in each hall.
Central Hall — Work Technologies
Unified communications platforms, enterprise video conferencing, digital signage networks, AV-over-IP infrastructure, room scheduling and occupancy systems, AV management software, corporate collaboration technology, and the full spectrum of solutions deployed in corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, higher education, government installations, and houses of worship. Manufacturers across the UC ecosystem — Microsoft Teams Rooms hardware partners, Zoom Room certified devices, Cisco Webex endpoints — anchor the north end of Central Hall alongside room control platforms from Crestron, AMX, and Extron.
Key exhibitors: Crestron, AMX, Extron, Biamp, Shure MXA ceiling arrays, QSC Q-SYS
North Hall — Play Technologies
Professional audio — microphones, amplifiers, DSP platforms, speaker systems from line array formats down to point source — alongside broadcast AV infrastructure, live event production technology, theatrical and architectural lighting, staging hardware, rigging equipment, and the full broadcast and live entertainment spectrum. L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik, Meyer Sound, JBL Professional, and QSC Audio anchor the professional audio floor with systems running at demonstration SPL levels in purpose-built environments. ETC, Martin Professional, and Chauvet Professional fill the architectural and theatrical lighting zones.
Key exhibitors: L-Acoustics, d&b audiotechnik, Meyer Sound, ETC, Martin Professional
Activation Hubs
Three large immersive demonstration environments embedded in the exhibit halls showing integrated systems in realistic application scenarios: Smart Workplace (a fully built-out hybrid meeting environment demonstrating how UC, room scheduling, digital signage, and AV control work across a complete corporate floor plate), The Pitch (live sports and entertainment production technology at scale), and Retail Experience (digital signage, interactive kiosks, and dynamic content delivery in commercial retail contexts). Each Activation Hub requires a dedicated schedule block — a casual walk-through misses the point of what integrated systems demonstration can show.
Key exhibitors: Smart Workplace, The Pitch, Retail Experience
AVIXA CTS Certification at InfoComm 2026
AVIXA offers CTS (Certified Technology Specialist), CTS-D (Design), and CTS-I (Installation) certification exams throughout InfoComm week in the West Hall meeting rooms, with sessions running June 13–19 at conference-discounted rates. Passing a CTS credential at InfoComm is one of the most recognized professional milestones in the commercial AV industry — the combination of the exam discount, the concentration of the AV professional community, and the direct access to AVIXA resources makes InfoComm week the most cost-effective annual testing window for initial and renewal certification.
Register through AVIXA's certification portal well in advance of the show — exam slots fill weeks before InfoComm opens, and walk-in availability is limited to day-of cancellations. The pre-exhibit week (June 13–16) is the optimal testing window: the West Hall meeting rooms run at lower crowd density before the main exhibit hall opens, providing better exam-day focus and still leaving the full three exhibit days for floor time after testing.
AVIXA education sessions — structured learning programs on systems integration methodology, AV design principles, digital signage strategy, UC implementation, and emerging technology — run throughout the education week and exhibit days. Education registration may require a separate conference registration tier; check the InfoComm registration portal for session types included with exhibit-only versus full conference registration.
InfoComm First-Timer Tips
InfoComm 2026 organizes the exhibit floor by application category, not by manufacturer name. Central Hall is Work (enterprise AV, unified communications, digital signage, collaboration platforms) and North Hall is Play (professional audio, broadcast AV, theatrical lighting, live event production technology). Before arriving Wednesday morning, study the exhibitor floor plan in the InfoComm mobile app and plan your routing by the technology segments most relevant to your current project pipeline — moving between the two halls requires dedicated travel time you need to budget.
Live demonstrations at full operational output levels are the unique informational value of InfoComm. Budget time to complete full manufacturer demonstration cycles rather than scanning the booth perimeter — an L-Acoustics system running a line array demo at reference SPL, a direct-view LED video wall displaying reference HDR content at full brightness, or a Crestron or QSC Q-SYS control system running a live integration demo gives you specification-level product knowledge that no data sheet or online review can replicate.
Badge pickup opens during the pre-exhibit education week (June 13-16). Attending a CTS certification session or AVIXA education seminar on the pre-exhibit days and collecting your badge at the West Hall kiosks with zero queue is substantially more efficient than arriving Wednesday morning when 30,000 to 44,000 attendees simultaneously enter the main exhibit hall. If you are arriving Wednesday morning, the express kiosk line for pre-registered attendees is dramatically faster than the staffed counter walk-up registration — have your confirmation QR code or the InfoComm app's digital badge loaded before you enter the building.
The Activation Hubs — Smart Workplace, The Pitch, and Retail Experience — require dedicated schedule time proportional to the integration complexity they demonstrate. A thirty-minute walk-through of Smart Workplace shows how unified communications endpoints, room scheduling systems, digital signage displays, and AV control infrastructure integrate across a complete corporate floor plate in a way that individual vendor booths cannot replicate. Budget one to two hours across both exhibit days for the full Activation Hub circuit.
Manufacturer parties on Wednesday and Thursday evenings are one of InfoComm's primary professional development channels for systems integrators and consultants. The relationship conversations that happen over dinner and drinks at a manufacturer reception directly determine product specifications on capital projects worth millions of dollars. Confirm your invitation list before traveling — most major AV brands send invitations via email in the week before the show. If you arrive without an invitation, many receptions have an open first hour before moving to restricted access.
AVIXA CTS, CTS-D, and CTS-I exam slots fill weeks before InfoComm opens. If you are planning to test at the show, register through AVIXA's certification portal as soon as your registration is confirmed. The pre-exhibit week (June 13-16) offers exams in the West Hall meeting rooms with lighter crowd density than the exhibit days, making the Monday through Tuesday window the best combination of exam focus and post-exam exhibit-hall time.
Juneteenth Friday June 19 is both the InfoComm closing exhibit day and a federal holiday that dramatically elevates Las Vegas nightlife programming. The exhibit floor closes at 4 PM — two hours earlier than Wednesday and Thursday — creating a full afternoon window for dayclub attendance. Register for Juneteenth nightclub guest lists before the week begins — Juneteenth weekend is one of the three highest-demand nightlife periods of the entire Las Vegas summer calendar and free guest list capacity at every major venue fills faster than a standard summer Friday.
Portable battery packs and quality earphones are InfoComm show-floor necessities. Your phone battery will not survive a full exhibit day of continuous navigation, exhibitor QR scanning, photography, and schedule management — a 10,000 mAh pack is convention standard equipment. For North Hall audio demonstration booths, personal reference earphones allow direct back-to-back comparison of manufacturers' own audio content with your own reference playback, giving you a consistent baseline across multiple vendor evaluations.
Official InfoComm Nightlife Program
IC26 After Dark — Three-Night Program
IC26 After Dark is the official after-hours program for InfoComm 2026 — three consecutive evenings of hosted nightclub access with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1:00 AM. Present your InfoComm badge at the venue door. Standard cover resumes after 1:00 AM.
Wednesday, June 17
The Studio at Hakkasan
MGM Grand, 3799 Las Vegas Blvd S
DJ Franzen
Doors: 10:30 PM
Free entry: Before 1:00 AM with InfoComm badge
Transit: 15-minute rideshare south from LVCC
AV Professional Note
Hakkasan's main room runs L-Acoustics K2 line arrays — the same series you'll see at AVIXA's L-Acoustics exhibit booth during the day, running at full commercial operational load that same evening. The multi-room venue spans six levels with independently zoned audio environments, each driven by Powersoft amplification and Dante AV-over-IP routing — a configuration that AV professionals who work in large multi-zone commercial audio will find worth evaluating from the audience side.
Logistics
A Wednesday-specific note: HPE Discover 2026 is running simultaneously at the Venetian Expo, and the HPE Discover Celebration (Imagine Dragons at Allegiant Stadium, 7:30–10:30 PM) returns approximately 20,000 enterprise IT professionals to the Strip corridor at around 11 PM. InfoComm badge holders targeting IC26 After Dark on Wednesday should arrive at Hakkasan in the 10:30 to 11:30 PM window — the free-entry period before 1 AM fills faster on this particular Wednesday than any other InfoComm evening.
Thursday, June 18
TAO Nightclub
The Venetian Resort, 3377 Las Vegas Blvd S
DJ JNICE
Doors: 10:30 PM
Free entry: Before 1:00 AM with InfoComm badge
Transit: Walk from The Venetian (primary InfoComm hotel)
AV Professional Note
TAO Nightclub occupies 40,000 square feet across multiple rooms at The Venetian Resort, one of InfoComm's primary headquarter hotels — the most logistically convenient IC26 After Dark event of the three-night program. The venue's audio infrastructure is tuned by the same professional audio and acoustic treatment contractors whose work you evaluate in North Hall.
Logistics
Thursday is the most strategically valuable night to attend XS Nightclub or OMNIA independently if those aren't on your IC26 After Dark calendar — both run resident DJ programming on Thursday with lower guest list thresholds and lower cover charges than the premium Juneteenth Friday pricing.
Friday, June 19 (Juneteenth)
OMNIA Nightclub
Caesars Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd S
Steve Aoki
Doors: 10:30 PM
Free entry: Before 1:00 AM with InfoComm badge
Transit: 20-minute rideshare south from LVCC
AV Professional Note
OMNIA Nightclub's kinetic chandelier is the most technically complex single piece of installed entertainment technology on the Las Vegas Strip — a three-ton hydraulically actuated lighting installation synchronized to music cues via a custom programming system that maps the structure's vertical position and LED patterns to song structure and beat changes in real time. The AV control infrastructure running OMNIA's three rooms is implemented by the same commercial AV integration companies who exhibit in Central Hall during the day.
Logistics
Juneteenth Friday is the highest-demand nightlife night of InfoComm week. Register for the IC26 After Dark OMNIA program before June 16 — the free-entry window before 1 AM at five simultaneously running major Strip headliner bookings (Gryffin at XS, Steve Aoki at OMNIA, Kehlani at LIV, Ray Volpe at Zouk, Cedric Gervais at Marquee) compresses fast.
Free Entry — All InfoComm Week Venues
Get on the Guest List
NoCoverVegas provides free guest list access to XS Nightclub, OMNIA, Hakkasan, TAO, Zouk, LIV, Marquee, and all major Strip nightclubs during InfoComm week — any night, any venue. The IC26 After Dark badge-holder program covers only the three official venues on designated nights. The NoCoverVegas guest list covers the full InfoComm week circuit.
Nightlife Guide for InfoComm 2026
The Las Vegas Strip nightclub circuit during InfoComm week gives AV professionals the opportunity to evaluate the most comprehensively specified installed entertainment audio and visual environments in commercial hospitality — the same product categories on the show floor, running at full operational load.
IC26 After Dark venue Friday, June 19 (Juneteenth). Steve Aoki headlines with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1 AM. The kinetic chandelier — a three-ton hydraulically actuated lighting installation synchronized to music in real time — is the most technically complex installed entertainment technology on the Strip. AV professionals who specify architectural lighting and AV control systems for large commercial venues find OMNIA worth evaluating from the audience perspective.
Gryffin headlines XS on Juneteenth Friday, June 19. XS operates L-Acoustics line arrays across an indoor-outdoor venue with an integrated pool deck — a reference-quality professional audio installation that AV professionals who spec commercial sound reinforcement consistently cite as a benchmark for club production. One monorail stop from the LVCC via the Convention Center station.
IC26 After Dark venue Wednesday, June 17 (DJ Franzen, free entry before 1 AM). Hakkasan's multi-room audio architecture runs L-Acoustics K2 line arrays, Powersoft amplification, and Dante AV-over-IP signal routing — a production infrastructure assembled by AV integration firms whose booth work you evaluate on the InfoComm floor during the day. The six-level venue handles the Wednesday IC26 After Dark crowd alongside the post-HPE Discover Allegiant Stadium concert crowd simultaneously.
IC26 After Dark venue Thursday, June 18 (DJ JNICE, free entry before 1 AM). Accessible from The Venetian hotel elevators without stepping outside — the most logistically convenient IC26 After Dark destination of the three-night program for attendees staying at the primary InfoComm headquarter hotel. TAO's 40,000 sq ft multi-room layout includes a rooftop terrace and an Asian-inspired main room that regularly operates at 3,000-person capacity.
The most technically sophisticated purpose-built nightclub in Las Vegas — Zouk integrates real-time adaptive lighting, L-Acoustics Kara II spatial audio, and intelligent AV control at the extreme end of what is commercially installed in hospitality environments. Ray Volpe performs on Juneteenth Friday. Located at Resorts World, a ten-minute pedestrian connection from the LVCC — the only major Strip nightclub accessible without any rideshare from the convention center.
Kehlani performs live at LIV on Juneteenth Friday, June 19 — a live vocal performance distinguishes LIV from the DJ-only lineup at every other Juneteenth venue. The LIV brand's Miami origin and institutional production knowledge results in a live performance production infrastructure worth evaluating: the stage rigging, delay speaker clusters, and monitor mixing setup at LIV are designed for touring-caliber live acts rather than DJ booth configurations.
Free entry through the NoCoverVegas guest list with complimentary transportation from your Strip hotel. Sapphire is the world's largest gentlemen's club at 70,000 square feet and a consistent convention-week destination for InfoComm professional groups. No cover charge, no minimum spend required on the guest list.
OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace — connected to OMNIA Nightclub via a rooftop-to-rooftop bridge — runs the summer residency roster through InfoComm week: Tiësto, Chris Lake, Alesso, Steve Aoki, Afrojack. The 46,000 sq ft Tao Group venue is in full summer programming on Juneteenth Friday June 19, the highest-energy pool party day of the InfoComm calendar. Free guest list through NoCoverVegas.
Getting Around During InfoComm Week
Las Vegas Monorail
Convention Center station provides direct rail service to and from Strip hotels. $5 single ride, approximately 4 minutes from MGM Grand. Faster than driving during peak convention traffic. Operating hours align with LVCC exhibit floor hours — check the schedule for the last departure time to avoid being stranded at the convention center in the evening.
Boring Company Convention Center Loop
$3 per ride — electric Tesla vehicles running underground tunnels between the LVCC West Hall, Central Hall, and the south parking area. Useful for interior convention-center transit that the monorail does not cover. During peak morning arrivals, surface-level walking between halls is often faster.
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Designated pickup and dropoff zone on Convention Center Drive. During peak LVCC arrival windows (8:00-9:30 AM) and afternoon departure (5:00-6:00 PM), rideshare surge pricing and request volume can extend wait times significantly. Monorail is strongly preferred for mid-Strip hotel guests during peak hours. Wednesday evening rideshare to Hakkasan MGM Grand is subject to surge pricing from the HPE Discover post-concert crowd returning from Allegiant Stadium.
Pedestrian (Resorts World only)
Resorts World Las Vegas is directly accessible on foot from the LVCC via a ten-minute covered pedestrian connection — the only major Strip destination reachable without any vehicle or rail transit from the convention center. Zouk Nightclub and AYU Dayclub are on-property at Resorts World, making this the only InfoComm nightlife option that requires zero transportation planning.
InfoComm 2026 — Frequently Asked Questions
Where is InfoComm 2026?
InfoComm 2026 is at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), 3150 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. The exhibit floor occupies the North and Central Halls. AVIXA education sessions, workshops, and CTS certification exams run in the West Hall meeting rooms. The LVCC Convention Center monorail station provides direct rail service from mid-Strip hotels. The Boring Company's Convention Center Loop ($3) connects the West and Central Hall entrance areas. Rideshare pickup is designated on Convention Center Drive.
What are the InfoComm 2026 exhibit floor dates?
The InfoComm 2026 exhibit hall opens Wednesday, June 17 and closes Friday, June 19 at 4:00 PM. AVIXA education sessions, workshops, and CTS certification programs begin Saturday, June 13 and run through the full week. Friday June 19 is Juneteenth — a federal holiday that brings significant additional leisure travel to Las Vegas and elevates nightclub programming across every major Strip venue to summer-peak levels.
What is IC26 After Dark?
IC26 After Dark is the official after-hours nightlife program for InfoComm 2026 — three consecutive evenings of hosted nightclub access with free admission for InfoComm badge holders before 1:00 AM. Wednesday June 17: The Studio at Hakkasan at MGM Grand (DJ Franzen, doors 10:30 PM). Thursday June 18: TAO Nightclub at The Venetian Resort (DJ JNICE, doors 10:30 PM). Friday June 19: OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace (Steve Aoki, doors 10:30 PM). Present your InfoComm badge or official party confirmation at the door — standard cover resumes after 1:00 AM at all three venues.
How do I get to the LVCC from Strip hotels?
The Las Vegas Monorail Convention Center station provides direct service from Strip hotels. The $5 single-ride fare and approximately 4-minute travel time from MGM Grand makes it faster than driving during morning convention traffic. The Boring Company's Convention Center Loop runs electric vehicles between the LVCC West Hall and outlying parking areas for $3 per ride. Mid-Strip hotels — Wynn, The Cosmopolitan, Caesars — are a 10 to 15-minute rideshare from the LVCC. Resorts World Las Vegas is the only major Strip property with a direct ten-minute pedestrian connection to the convention center.
Can I take AVIXA CTS certification exams at InfoComm 2026?
Yes. AVIXA offers CTS (Certified Technology Specialist), CTS-D (Design), and CTS-I (Installation) certification exams throughout InfoComm week at conference-discounted rates. Exam sessions are scheduled June 13-19 in the West Hall meeting rooms. Register through AVIXA's certification portal well before the show — exam slots fill weeks before the conference, and walk-in availability is limited to day-of cancellations. Candidates who test during the exhibit week should schedule Wednesday or Thursday to preserve the Juneteenth Friday afternoon window for dayclub attendance before the IC26 After Dark final night at OMNIA.
What should I wear to InfoComm?
Business casual is standard at InfoComm. Branded company attire — polo shirts, quarter-zips, and company-logoed jackets — is extremely common on the exhibit floor. The most important clothing decision is footwear: the LVCC North and Central Halls together cover approximately 750,000 square feet of exhibit and support space, and fifteen to twenty thousand steps per day is a reasonable expectation. Do not arrive in untested shoes. Pack a separate evening outfit for IC26 After Dark and manufacturer receptions — the AV industry's evening circuit at Las Vegas nightclubs is genuinely upscale.
Is HPE Discover happening at the same time as InfoComm 2026?
Yes — HPE Discover 2026 runs June 15-18 at the Venetian Expo, overlapping with InfoComm's exhibit days on June 17 and 18. The two conferences have different venues and distinct attendee populations (HPE Discover is enterprise IT; InfoComm is professional AV and systems integration), but they share the Las Vegas Strip hotel corridor and nightclub circuit on those overlap days. The key logistics consideration is Wednesday June 17: the HPE Discover Celebration (Imagine Dragons live at Allegiant Stadium, 7:30-10:30 PM) returns approximately 20,000 HPE attendees to the Strip at around 11 PM, directly coinciding with the opening window of IC26 After Dark at Hakkasan. InfoComm badge holders should arrive at IC26 After Dark venues on Wednesday in the 10:30 to 11:30 PM window.
What manufacturer parties and industry events happen during InfoComm week?
Major AV manufacturers, systems integration companies, and technology distributors host invitation-based receptions and private dinners on Wednesday and Thursday evenings throughout InfoComm week. Leading AV manufacturers — audio equipment companies, display technology vendors, AV control system providers, unified communications hardware brands, and AV distribution companies — book private dining rooms and event spaces across the north Strip hotel corridor. The InfoComm app's community events board lists open-access industry events. Direct invitations from your manufacturer reps, typically arriving by email in the week before the show, are the access route for private receptions. Many manufacturer events run in two phases: an open-access reception during the first hour, followed by a restricted guest-list portion.
Which hotel is best for InfoComm 2026 attendees?
Hotel choice depends on whether you prioritize exhibit-floor proximity or nightlife access. For maximum convention proximity, Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel is directly adjacent to the LVCC. Resorts World Las Vegas is a ten-minute pedestrian connection from the convention center with Zouk Nightclub and AYU Dayclub on-property — the only InfoComm option providing walkable nightlife without rideshare. The Venetian Resort (primary InfoComm headquarter hotel) places TAO Nightclub — Thursday's IC26 After Dark venue — at elevator distance. Wynn Las Vegas and Encore are a twenty-minute walk from the LVCC with XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club accessible on-property. Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a fifteen-minute rideshare from the LVCC with LIV Nightclub on-property.
Is there a NoCoverVegas guest list available for InfoComm week?
Yes. NoCoverVegas provides free guest list access to all major Las Vegas nightclubs during InfoComm week — XS Nightclub, OMNIA, Hakkasan, TAO, Zouk, LIV, Marquee, and others. Submitting through NoCoverVegas guarantees free entry at the venues on any InfoComm night independent of the IC26 After Dark official program. The IC26 After Dark badge access applies at the three official venues (Hakkasan, TAO, OMNIA) only on their designated nights — the NoCoverVegas guest list covers every venue any night of the week. Register before you leave for Las Vegas.
What dayclubs are open during InfoComm 2026?
Las Vegas dayclubs run full summer programming during InfoComm week. OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace runs the summer residency roster — Tiësto, Chris Lake, Alesso, Steve Aoki, Afrojack — Wednesday through Sunday, with Juneteenth Friday June 19 being the highest-energy afternoon of InfoComm week. Encore Beach Club at Wynn operates the Nightswim series on Wednesday June 17 (Valentino Khan) in outdoor pool-deck format. Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan runs Thursday through Sunday. The InfoComm exhibit floor closes at 4 PM Friday, creating a full afternoon window for dayclub attendance before IC26 After Dark at OMNIA begins at 10:30 PM.
