InfoComm Nightclubs 2026

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.

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 at confirmed venues: The Studio at 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). Present your InfoComm badge at the venue door before 1:00 AM — no cover charge applies during that window; after 1:00 AM, standard cover resumes. The pro AV industry builds nightlife environments for a living — and the InfoComm crowd arrives in Las Vegas with a level of technical fluency that no other convention demographic brings to the Strip's clubs and dayclubs. 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 — a three-ton hydraulically actuated lighting installation synchronized to music cues via a programming system that maps the structure's vertical position and LED patterns to song structure and beat changes in real time — is, from an AV integration standpoint, the most technically complex single piece of installed entertainment technology on the Las Vegas Strip. The line arrays at XS Nightclub at Wynn run L-Acoustics systems that AV professionals evaluate at the L-Acoustics exhibit booth during the day and hear at full operational load that same evening. This is the core dynamic of InfoComm week in Las Vegas: the technology on the show floor and the technology running the nightclubs are drawn from the same product categories, separated by twenty minutes of rideshare. InfoComm 2026 runs three exhibit nights, and the evening structure follows the show schedule. Wednesday June 17 is the opening exhibit night: the industry has fully arrived, the energy from the day's product demonstrations is high, and the manufacturer party circuit runs parallel to the nightclub programming throughout the evening. Many major AV manufacturers host invitation-only receptions and dinners at north Strip hotel restaurants from 6 to 10 PM on Wednesday evening — the AV industry's version of the MDW or CES after-party calendar. The official IC26 After Dark venue on Wednesday June 17 is The Studio at Hakkasan at MGM Grand — DJ Franzen headlines with free entry for InfoComm badge holders before 1am, with doors opening at 10:30 PM. A logistics note for Wednesday June 17 specifically: HPE Discover 2026 is running simultaneously at the Venetian Expo (June 15–18), and the HPE Discover Celebration — Imagine Dragons live at Allegiant Stadium from 7:30 to 10:30 PM — returns approximately 20,000 enterprise IT professionals to The Venetian and the Strip hotel corridor at around 11:00 PM. This creates a higher-than-average Wednesday night Strip crowd from 11 PM onward, converging with InfoComm's own IC26 After Dark traffic at Hakkasan. InfoComm badge holders planning to attend Hakkasan on Wednesday should target the 10:30 to 11:30 PM arrival window rather than arriving at midnight — the free-entry window before 1:00 AM fills faster on this particular Wednesday than any other night of InfoComm week. For groups who prefer an outdoor pool-deck environment, Encore Beach Club at Night runs Valentino Khan on Wednesday June 17 for the Nightswim series, transforming the outdoor pool deck into a 3,500-person open-air nightclub from 10:30 PM with full touring-caliber production in an outdoor acoustic environment that AV professionals with live event backgrounds find genuinely interesting to experience from the audience perspective. For InfoComm groups on the north Strip, Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World is the most accessible major venue — a ten-minute walk from the LVCC, no rideshare required, with house and tech house programming that the production-aware InfoComm demographic responds to consistently. Thursday June 18 is the mid-convention night. 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. The Venetian is one of InfoComm's primary headquarter hotels, making TAO the most logistically convenient IC26 After Dark event of the three-night run. For attendees seeking the full prestige XS Nightclub or OMNIA Nightclub experience, Thursday is also the most strategically valuable evening to attend either venue without competing with Juneteenth weekend demand — both run resident DJ programming with lower guest list thresholds and lower cover charges than the elevated Friday pricing. AVIXA and manufacturer networking events continue through Thursday — building a Wednesday manufacturer event, dinner, and club sequence creates a two-night convention rhythm that experienced InfoComm attendees use to balance show-floor intensity with after-hours renewal. Friday June 19 is the closing exhibit night and the most programmatically intense evening of the three-day run. The exhibit floor closes approximately two hours earlier than Wednesday and Thursday, creating a full afternoon window for dayclubs — Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, Marquee Dayclub, LIV Beach, and TAO Beach are all running full Juneteenth headliner programming from 11 AM. The nightclub headliners on Juneteenth Friday 2026 are: Gryffin at XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas, Steve Aoki at OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace, Kehlani performing live at LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau, Ray Volpe at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World, and Cedric Gervais at Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan — five simultaneous bookings representing the full spectrum of the Strip's major venue formats and music programming styles. Guest list registration for Friday June 19 should be submitted by Tuesday June 16 — Juneteenth weekend demand compresses available guest list capacity at every venue faster than a standard summer Friday. For groups extending through Saturday June 20, the post-InfoComm Juneteenth weekend adds The Chainsmokers at Encore Beach Club, Martin Garrix with Justin Mylo at OMNIA Dayclub, and Tiësto at LIV Beach — making the Saturday after InfoComm one of the strongest individual pool party afternoons of the entire Las Vegas summer season.
