Overview

What Nightlife Is Like During InfoComm

InfoComm is one of the biggest events on the Las Vegas calendar, drawing over 44,000 attendees to the city each year during June. 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 InfoComm falls during June, 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.

After Hours

InfoComm After-Hours Scene

InfoComm week generates a specific corporate entertainment dynamic on the Strip that differs from most technology conventions. Manufacturer representatives — from audio brands like Shure, QSC, and L-Acoustics; display companies like Samsung, LG, and Absen; AV control vendors like Crestron and Extron; and integration hardware distributors — arrive in Las Vegas with entertainment budgets allocated specifically to maintaining relationships with the systems integrators and consultants who specify their products. A manufacturer's regional sales director hosting a table of six integration firm principals for dinner and a nightclub evening is investing in relationships that determine project specifications for the next twelve months. The dinner is typically at a north-Strip restaurant accessible from the LVCC corridor: STK Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan, Wazuzu at Encore, or Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian. After dinner, the group moves to a nightclub, and the venue selection signals the relationship tier. Manufacturer teams with top-tier integration clients at the table go to XS at Wynn Las Vegas or OMNIA at Caesars Palace — the most prestigious venues that communicate clearly that the relationship is valued. Mid-tier integrator groups tend toward Zouk at Resorts World, a ten-minute walk from the LVCC with minimal logistics overhead, or TAO at The Venetian, where the brand recognition and Asian-inspired decor photograph well for internal expense documentation. For groups of eight to twelve people, bottle service tables at XS and OMNIA start at five hundred to eight hundred dollars per bottle with a two-bottle minimum — a fifteen hundred to twenty-five hundred dollar spend for the group. NoCoverVegas offers free guest list entry for InfoComm groups not booking bottle service: if your group of four to six needs cover-free door entry without a table reservation, the guest list covers entry while table bookings are handled directly with the venue's events team.

For larger InfoComm groups — teams of twenty to fifty from major integration firms, or manufacturer sales organizations hosting national distributor receptions — the private event process differs from standard guest list or table booking. XS Nightclub at Wynn and OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace both have dedicated corporate event sales teams for convention-week private section reservations. A private section at XS for thirty people typically requires a minimum spend commitment of fifteen thousand to twenty-five thousand dollars depending on the night and section location — outdoor pool deck sections with Strip sight lines carry a premium over interior main-room sections. Hakkasan at MGM Grand has the largest private room inventory on the Strip: The Studio accommodates seventy to one hundred guests for corporate buyouts during InfoComm week. For coordinating private events of this scale during InfoComm, lead time is four to six weeks minimum — the IC26 After Dark nights at each venue require earlier coordination because those dates are partially committed to the official AVIXA after-party program, and the remaining corporate buyout capacity on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday June 17–19 is limited. Groups coordinating private events should contact the venue's corporate events team directly; NoCoverVegas guest list entry covers all individual attendees who need door access outside the main corporate reservation.

The InfoComm nightlife dynamic differs from comparable technology conventions in specific ways that shape the practical experience of after-hours events. CES in January draws over 140,000 consumer electronics professionals to Las Vegas — but it occurs when every outdoor venue is closed, forcing all nightlife into the Strip's indoor clubs simultaneously. InfoComm in June operates with the full summer nightlife calendar active: pool parties, outdoor nightclub formats, and garden venues all running alongside the indoor club circuit. NAB Show in April is the closest professional comparison to InfoComm in terms of audience demographic — broadcast engineers, media technology professionals, and production vendors share significant overlap with InfoComm's AV integration community. The operational difference is that NAB runs before pool party season opens, while InfoComm has a meaningfully richer outdoor venue menu for its closing Juneteenth Friday. The HPE Discover overlap on Wednesday June 17 creates the most direct cross-convention nightlife competition InfoComm faces: approximately twenty thousand enterprise IT professionals returning from the Imagine Dragons concert at Allegiant Stadium simultaneously with InfoComm's own IC26 After Dark crowd creates a compressed entry window at the Strip's major clubs specifically on that Wednesday. The practical advice for InfoComm attendees planning to attend Hakkasan on Wednesday June 17 is to arrive at the ten-thirty PM door opening rather than midnight — this is the one night of InfoComm week where the standard convention timing calculus changes significantly.

The InfoComm community's professional relationship with nightclub technology creates a nightlife experience unlike any other Las Vegas convention demographic. Systems integrators who have commissioned the L-Acoustics line array systems at XS Nightclub, who have installed the LED video wall architecture at Hakkasan, or who have programmed the lighting control infrastructure at OMNIA spend their InfoComm exhibit days evaluating those same technology categories in booth and demonstration form — then walk into the venues that evening and experience the most fully realized commercial implementations of that technology anywhere in the world. An AV integrator at XS on an InfoComm Wednesday is conducting a continuous professional evaluation of every technology decision in the room: the coverage pattern of the line array, the pixel pitch of the LED infrastructure, the response time of the lighting control system to the DJ's cue triggers. Las Vegas nightclubs are, from a commercial AV standpoint, the highest-specification permanent installations in the entertainment industry — the per-seat technology investment at XS or OMNIA rivals or exceeds what is found in any comparable venue worldwide. InfoComm week is the one week of the year when the people who design, specify, and commission these environments experience them as guests rather than as the technical team standing in the rigging. This produces the most technically engaged convention nightlife crowd in Las Vegas: professionals who genuinely understand what they are inside, because they know exactly what it took to build it.

InfoComm Picks

Top Venues for InfoComm Attendees

These venues are curated specifically for InfoComm attendees — selected for proximity to Las Vegas Convention Center, music programming, and the crowd vibe that fits the InfoComm community.

XS Nightclub

Nightclub

One monorail stop from the LVCC at Wynn Las Vegas. XS features L-Acoustics loudspeaker arrays and an indoor-outdoor design that AV professionals consistently cite as the benchmark for club production. Gryffin headlines XS on Juneteenth Friday, June 19 — the peak InfoComm nightlife night.

Zouk Nightclub

Nightclub

The most technically sophisticated club in Las Vegas at Resorts World, a 15-minute walk from the LVCC. Zouk integrates real-time lighting, spatial audio, and intelligent AV control at the extreme end of what is commercially available — a genuine demonstration environment for what InfoComm exhibitors build. Ray Volpe performs on Juneteenth Friday.

OMNIA Nightclub

Nightclub

The kinetic chandelier installation at OMNIA Caesars Palace is one of the most recognized AV production elements in commercial nightlife — a three-ton structure that moves in sync with music across 75,000 square feet of venue space. OMNIA is the official IC26 After Dark venue for Friday, June 19 (Juneteenth) — Steve Aoki headlines with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1am. The highest-attended InfoComm nightlife destination of the three-night run.

Hakkasan Nightclub

Nightclub

The Studio at Hakkasan at MGM Grand is the official IC26 After Dark venue for Wednesday, June 17 — DJ Franzen headlines with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1am. Hakkasan's six-level venue is built by the same production vendors who exhibit at InfoComm: the L-Acoustics line arrays, the multi-room LED architecture, and the AV control systems running the main stage are commercial installations that AV professionals evaluate in booth form during the day and hear at operational load that same evening.

TAO Nightclub

Nightclub

TAO Nightclub at The Venetian Resort is the official IC26 After Dark venue for Thursday, June 18 — DJ JNICE headlines with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1am. One of Las Vegas's most recognized multi-level Asian-inspired venues with multiple rooms across a 40,000 sq ft footprint. The Venetian is a primary InfoComm hotel; TAO is accessible by elevator within the same property.

LIV Nightclub

Nightclub

At Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a flagship club from the Miami LIV brand. Kehlani performs live at LIV on Juneteenth Friday, June 19 — the live performance format distinguishes LIV from pure DJ-driven venues on the same night. The Fontainebleau's Strip positioning makes LIV easy to reach by rideshare from the LVCC.

Sapphire Las Vegas

Gentlemen's Club

Free entry with our guest list. Sapphire is the world's largest gentlemen's club and a consistent convention-week destination for professional groups. Complimentary transportation from your hotel included — no cover, no minimums.

OMNIA Dayclub

Dayclub

OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace — on the same property as OMNIA Nightclub — is in peak summer programming during InfoComm week. The 46,000 sq ft Tao Group rooftop venue runs afternoon sessions Wednesday through Sunday with the summer residency roster (Tiësto, Chris Lake, Steve Aoki, Alesso). Juneteenth Friday June 19 is the highest-energy pool party day of InfoComm week, with premium headliner bookings at both OMNIA Dayclub and OMNIA Nightclub on the same day. Free guest list through NoCoverVegas.

Getting Around

Transportation from Las Vegas Convention Center to Nightlife

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

The most convenient option. Most nightclubs are a 5-15 minute ride from Las Vegas 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 Entry (Strip Clubs)

Sign up through NoCoverVegas and get a free guest list entry at your hotel to any of our partner gentlemen's clubs. The guest list 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.

InfoComm Nightlife — FAQ

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. Education and certification programs run in the West Hall meeting rooms. The LVCC Convention Center monorail station provides direct service from Strip hotels — the monorail is typically faster than driving during peak convention traffic. Rideshare pickup and dropoff is on Convention Center Drive at the designated Uber/Lyft zone.

What are the InfoComm 2026 dates?

InfoComm 2026 runs Saturday, June 13 through Friday, June 19, 2026. AVIXA education sessions, workshops, and certification exams begin June 13 and run the entire week through June 19 in the West Hall meeting rooms. The exhibit hall opens Wednesday, June 17 at 9:00 AM and closes Friday, June 19 at 4:00 PM. Friday June 19 is Juneteenth — a federal holiday — which creates a particularly high-energy final evening in Las Vegas as consumer travel demand combines with the convention crowd.

Is InfoComm free to attend?

Exhibit hall access for qualified AV industry professionals is available through registration, which may be complimentary or paid depending on your industry role. AVIXA education sessions, workshops, and CTS certification programs require additional registration and fees. On-site registration is available. Check the InfoComm registration portal at infocommshow.org for current pricing tiers and industry qualification requirements.

Where do I pick up my badge?

Badge pickup is in the LVCC West Hall lobby. Express kiosks are available for pre-registered attendees — bring your confirmation QR code or use the InfoComm mobile app's digital badge feature. Badge pickup opens several days before the exhibit hall opens on June 17. Picking up your badge during the June 13–16 education session days avoids the Wednesday morning lines when the main exhibit floor opens.

Can I take the AVIXA CTS exam at InfoComm?

Yes. AVIXA offers CTS, CTS-D, and CTS-I certification exams throughout InfoComm week at conference-discounted rates. Exam sessions are available June 13–19. Register for your preferred exam date through the AVIXA website well in advance — exam slots fill weeks before the conference and walk-in availability is limited. Passing one of the AVIXA CTS credentials at InfoComm is a notable career milestone for AV professionals.

How do I get to InfoComm from the Strip?

The Las Vegas Monorail Convention Center station provides direct service from Strip hotels to the LVCC — $5 single ride, about 3–4 minutes from MGM Grand station. The Boring Company's Convention Center Loop ($3) runs electric vehicles between the LVCC West Hall and parking areas. Uber and Lyft have a designated pickup zone on Convention Center Drive. Mid-Strip hotels like Wynn, Cosmopolitan, and Caesars are a 10–15 minute rideshare from the LVCC.

What should I wear to InfoComm?

Business casual is the standard at InfoComm. Many AV professionals wear branded company attire — polo shirts, quarter-zips, and branded jackets are extremely common on the show floor. Comfort-focused business casual (dark jeans, smart shoes, a company shirt) works for all sessions, the exhibit floor, and manufacturer evening events. The single most important clothing decision is footwear: 15,000 steps per day across the North and Central Halls requires the most comfortable shoes you own.

Is nightclub entry free for InfoComm attendees?

Yes — the official IC26 After Dark parties offer free entry for InfoComm badge holders on each of the three exhibit nights. Doors open at 10:30 PM at all three venues; present your InfoComm badge or official party invite for complimentary admission before 1:00 AM. After 1:00 AM, standard cover resumes. The three venues: Hakkasan at MGM Grand (Wednesday June 17, DJ Franzen), TAO Nightclub at The Venetian Resort (Thursday June 18, DJ JNICE), and OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace (Friday June 19, Steve Aoki). NoCoverVegas also offers free guest list entry to all major Strip nightclubs during InfoComm week — submit through our site to guarantee no cover on any night.

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 attendee populations (HPE Discover is enterprise IT; InfoComm is professional AV), but they share the Las Vegas Strip hotel corridor and the same nightclub circuit during those overlap days. The most significant Wednesday June 17 logistics consideration is the HPE Discover Celebration: Imagine Dragons performing live at Allegiant Stadium from 7:30 to 10:30 PM returns approximately 20,000 HPE attendees to the Strip at around 11 PM — coinciding directly with the opening window of IC26 After Dark at Hakkasan. InfoComm badge holders should plan to arrive at the IC26 After Dark venues in the 10:30 to 11:30 PM window on Wednesday to take full advantage of the free-entry window before 1:00 AM, before the post-concert HPE Discover crowd further compresses entry capacity at Strip venues.

What is there to do after InfoComm?

Manufacturer parties and AVIXA networking events happen every night of InfoComm week — check the InfoComm app for the manufacturer events calendar. The IC26 After Dark official program runs all three exhibit nights with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1am: Hakkasan (Wed Jun 17, DJ Franzen), TAO Nightclub (Thu Jun 18, DJ JNICE), and OMNIA (Fri Jun 19, Steve Aoki). The final exhibit day, June 19, is Juneteenth, which triggers full headliner programming across every major Strip nightclub: Gryffin at XS (Wynn), Steve Aoki at OMNIA (Caesars), Kehlani live at LIV (Fontainebleau), and Ray Volpe at Zouk. Sign up for a free guest list through NoCoverVegas to skip cover charges at any of these venues — typically $30–50 per person at the door during convention week.

What manufacturer parties and industry events happen during InfoComm week?

Manufacturer parties, private receptions, and AVIXA networking events run throughout InfoComm week, primarily on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Major AV manufacturers — audio companies, display technology vendors, control system providers, AV distribution companies, and software platform developers — host invitation-only events at hotel restaurants, private dining rooms, and event spaces across the north Strip corridor. The InfoComm app's community events board lists many open-access industry events alongside the private manufacturer calendar. Direct invitations from your manufacturer contacts arriving by email in the week before the show are the primary access route for private receptions. Many manufacturer parties run in two phases: a broad open reception in the first hour where any badge holder can attend, followed by a restricted guest-list portion later in the evening. The evening of Tuesday June 16 — the day before the exhibit floor opens — often includes early-arrival welcome receptions hosted by major companies, providing a networking warm-up before the full show pace begins Wednesday morning.

Which hotel is best for InfoComm 2026 attendees?

The optimal hotel depends on how you plan to use the evenings. For maximum nightlife access with minimum transportation overhead, Resorts World Las Vegas is directly adjacent to the LVCC via a ten-minute pedestrian connection, contains Zouk Nightclub and AYU Dayclub on-property, and provides the only major Las Vegas nightclub accessible without any rideshare on any convention night. Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas — a fifteen to twenty-minute walk from the LVCC — put XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club within on-property walking distance, eliminating transportation for two of the most important InfoComm nightlife destinations. For pure convention proximity without the resort footprint, Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel is directly adjacent to the LVCC and is the fastest option for badge pickup and morning sessions. Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a fifteen-minute rideshare from the LVCC, has LIV Nightclub and LIV Beach on-property — the most convenient option for attendees prioritizing the Kehlani Juneteenth Friday booking at LIV.
