Hotel Overview
Why Stay at SAHARA for JCK Las Vegas
SAHARA Las Vegas is a refreshed classic at the north end of the Strip.

The Las Vegas Monorail stops right at SAHARA for easy Strip transportation.
SAHARA Las Vegas is a budget-friendly choice that keeps you close to the action with a 3-star rating. It is 5 min walk from the Las Vegas Convention Center, making it a convenient base for JCK Las Vegas attendees.

After Hours
After the Trade Show
The show floor closes, but Las Vegas is just getting started. Here are tips for making the most of your nights during JCK Las Vegas.
Submit Guest List 48 Hours Minimum
Trade show crowds tend to book nightlife late — buyers finishing on the floor at 5 PM and deciding to go out that night. Front-run that congestion by submitting your NoCoverVegas guest list 48 hours before your target night. Text (725) 999-9293 with your group size, hotel, and preferred venue, and we will confirm by SMS before the show floor opens.
Dress Code: Trade Show → Nightclub
Going straight from the expo floor to a Strip nightclub is one of the most common convention-week mistakes. Leave the comfortable trade show shoes, badge lanyard, and branded tote at SAHARA before heading out. Men need dress shoes and a collared shirt or blazer at minimum for venues like OMNIA, XS, and Marquee. Women should lean toward cocktail attire rather than daytime footwear.
Free Strip Club Limo from SAHARA
Every strip club on our list provides complimentary limousine pickup directly from SAHARA. No cover charge, no minimum spend — just submit the NoCoverVegas guest list and confirm your hotel. The limo dispatches within 20–30 minutes. For trade show groups, this is the most efficient after-hours logistics option: everyone meets at the hotel entrance, no rideshare coordination required.
Tuesday and Wednesday Are Sleeper Nights
Trade show crowds peak Thursday and Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday at the same venues deliver shorter waits, a more relaxed door, and easier access without the convention surge. If your show runs midweek, going out on Tuesday or Wednesday is the smartest move — the clubs are fully programmed and LIV at Fontainebleau is significantly less congested than the weekend peaks.
Nightlife Calendar
What's On in Las Vegas During JCK Las Vegas

Memorial Day Weekend 2026 is Las Vegas's biggest pool party weekend of the year, running May 22–25.

Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas is one of the biggest nightlife weekends of early summer, drawing 200,000+ visitors across May 1–5, 2026. The Strip's top nightclubs and pool parties book premier spring talent for this high-energy celebration weekend. Friday May 1 is stacked across every tier: Diplo headlines XS at Wynn, John Summit commands LIV at Fontainebleau, Deorro takes OMNIA at Caesars Palace, Duke Dumont anchors Zouk at Resorts World, and Lunay headlines Hakkasan at MGM Grand — all on the same night. Saturday May 2 escalates further with Tiësto at OMNIA, The Chainsmokers at XS, Calvin Harris at Encore Beach Club, Kygo at Palm Tree Beach Club, and Alesso at Marquee running simultaneously. Pool parties launch the weekend each afternoon, with dayclubs booked as aggressively as the nightclubs. The result is one of the most talent-dense 72-hour nightlife windows in Las Vegas before Memorial Day Weekend.

Kentucky Derby Weekend
Kentucky Derby Weekend turns Las Vegas into one of America's premier horse racing watch party destinations as sports bettors, nightlife visitors, and racing fans pack sportsbooks and rooftop venues for the Run for the Roses on the first Saturday in May. The 152nd Kentucky Derby goes off at Churchill Downs on May 2, 2026 at approximately 3:57 PM PT, with Las Vegas venues hosting elaborate themed parties including Circa Resort's Legacy Club Rooftop open-bar Derby Day party ($150, Woodford Reserve mint juleps, $300 hat contest prize), South Point Hotel's free exhibit hall bash with on-site betting windows and a 2 PM hat contest, Lake Las Vegas's Watch Party & Brunch, and Al Solito Posto's annual Derby party at Tivoli Village. The city's world-class sportsbooks — including Circa Sportsbook, Westgate SuperBook, and Wynn Race & Sports Book — overflow with bettors for the most-wagered-on race in America, and the energy spills into every major nightclub and pool party on the Strip through Sunday.

Wynn Nightlife May Residency Weekend
The first major non-holiday weekend of the Wynn Nightlife 2026 residency season arrives May 8–9, bridging the gap between Cinco de Mayo and EDC Week with four confirmed headline performances. Deadmau5 brings his immersive Cube v3 stage production to XS Nightclub on Friday May 8 — his first Las Vegas appearance after the Cinco de Mayo rush — while Valentino Khan headlines Encore Beach Club's daytime session the same afternoon. Saturday May 9 escalates with Diplo returning to XS for a late-night set and Marshmello anchoring Encore Beach Club's pool party, making it one of the most complete back-to-back dayclub-to-nightclub Wynn weekends outside of a holiday event.

Mother's Day Weekend
Mother's Day Weekend in Las Vegas (May 9–11, 2026) is one of the Strip's most celebrated spring getaways, drawing multigenerational groups seeking world-class brunches, premiere shows, afternoon pool parties, and headline nightclub experiences to honor the moms in their lives. Mother's Day itself falls on Sunday, May 10, 2026, making this a full three-day celebration weekend that fills the Strip with families, couples, and friend groups from across the country. Las Vegas venues roll out dedicated programming across every format: rooftop brunches with panoramic Strip views, celebrity chef dining experiences, dayclubs hosting peak-season pool parties, and nightclubs featuring the same top-tier resident lineups that define the pre-EDC May stretch. The weekend opens Saturday, May 9, with a stacked dayclub circuit. TAO Beach at the Venetian hosts DJ Pauly D for a daytime pool party anchored by TAO Group's signature service and bottle presentation — one of the most photographed pool party experiences in Las Vegas. Encore Beach Club at Wynn brings Marshmello for a high-energy afternoon set, continuing the Wynn portfolio's position as the spring season's most consistent pool party destination. LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau elevates Saturday night with Dom Dolla, whose deep house sets have made LIV the defining nightclub booking of 2026 — a Saturday Dom Dolla show at LIV during spring represents one of the most in-demand tickets on the Strip outside of EDC Week. Zouk at Resorts World books Lil Wayne for a hip-hop alternative, while Diplo anchors XS and Cedric Gervais headlines OMNIA. Mother's Day Sunday, May 10, shifts to a more celebratory register. The Legacy Club at Circa Resort hosts a dedicated Mother's Day celebration at noon, with floor-to-ceiling glass views of the Las Vegas skyline from the 60th floor — among the most spectacular settings for a spring brunch in the city. Pool parties at TAO Beach (Justin Credible), Palm Tree Beach Club (Lema), and Marquee Dayclub (DJ CLA) keep the afternoon energy alive, while XS Nightclub books DJ Vice for a Sunday night close. The timing of Mother's Day Weekend 2026 places it squarely in the sweet spot of the Las Vegas spring calendar: one week after Cinco de Mayo (May 1–5) and one week before EDC Week (May 15–17). Weather is typically ideal — mid-80s Fahrenheit with low humidity and minimal wind, exactly what pool season requires. Hotel rates during Mother's Day Weekend run 20–30% below the following EDC Weekend surge, making it one of the best-value May nightlife trips for visitors who want peak-season Strip energy without peak-season pricing.

At night, 50 Cent takes LIV Nightclub for a high-energy hip-hop headline set, giving the Fontainebleau venue a distinct energy from the EDM-heavy Cinco de Mayo circuit running simultaneously across the Strip.

The bridge weekend between Cinco de Mayo and EDC Week brings two of LIV's biggest headliners to Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Friday May 8 sees Tiësto headline LIV Nightclub for his first standalone spring LIV date of 2026 — a peak-time set spanning trance roots, EDM anthems, and current house productions, with Sommer Ray opening LIV Beach in the afternoon. Saturday May 9 completes the weekend pairing David Guetta at LIV Beach with Dom Dolla headlining LIV Nightclub at night, giving the Fontainebleau a complete dayclub-to-nightclub tech house circuit on one of the quieter weekends before EDC arrives.

Metro Boomin headlines LIV Nightclub on Friday May 29, with LINSKA opening LIV Beach in the afternoon. David Guetta anchors LIV Beach on Saturday May 30 for his fifth LIV Beach appearance of the month — a consistent presence that has made him the dominant dayclub draw at Fontainebleau all spring — while Crankdat, a 2026 LIV resident, takes LIV Nightclub at night. Sunday May 31 closes with Matroda at LIV Nightclub and SIDEPIECE at LIV Beach, completing one of LIV's most stacked monthly residency calendars.

Following his May 1 Cinco de Mayo opening night set, Deorro returns on May 8 for the mid-May weekend — his electro house and Melbourne bounce productions filling OMNIA's iconic chandelier room for a non-holiday Friday that draws a more local and seasoned crowd than the holiday rush. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers both men and women for free entry before 11:30 PM.

OMNIA Nightclub Late May 2026 — Tiësto & Steve Aoki

Tiësto returns on Friday May 29 for his third OMNIA nightclub date of the month — following Cinco de Mayo on May 2 — anchoring the week's end with a set that spans his trance roots, mid-era EDM anthems, and current house productions. Saturday May 30 hands the room to Steve Aoki for his fourth OMNIA performance of May, completing a month in which the venue ran consecutive Aoki dates across EDC Week, Memorial Day Weekend, and the closing Saturday. Together the May 29–30 weekend represents the tail end of OMNIA's spring 2026 residency before the summer program shifts into longer runs.

Hakkasan Nightclub Early May 2026 — DJ Franzen, Laidback Luke, Four Color Zack & Justin Credible
The first full week of May 2026 at Hakkasan Nightclub opens with DJ Franzen's R&Bae Wednesdays residency on May 6 — his hip-hop, R&B, and old-school set filling the Hakkasan main room for the mid-week crowd that has made Wednesdays one of the venue's signature nights. Laidback Luke follows on Thursday May 7, bringing three decades of Dutch house expertise and technical mixing precision to the MGM Grand venue for one of his first Las Vegas appearances of the spring calendar. Four Color Zack takes the room on Friday May 8, delivering his signature turntablist open-format production style to a sold-out weekend opener crowd. Justin Credible closes the first Hakkasan week of May on Saturday May 9, anchoring the hip-hop and crossover end of the Hakkasan weekly calendar — his crowd-driven style and radio-tested setlists the right energy for Saturday peak hours.

Hakkasan Nightclub Mid-May 2026 — DJ Franzen & Twinsick
The week between EDC and Memorial Day Weekend brings Hakkasan Nightclub back to its regular-season programming. DJ Franzen returns for R&Bae Wednesdays on May 20 — his fourth and second-to-last Hakkasan Wednesday of the month — delivering the hip-hop and R&B open-format set that has made this midweek slot a consistent draw at MGM Grand. Twinsick follows on Thursday May 21, opening the pre-Memorial Day week with the duo's blend of bass-forward electronic production and high-energy crowd interaction that has made them a returning Hakkasan booking. The May 20–21 window falls in the calm between two of Las Vegas's biggest May events, offering one of the more accessible Hakkasan nights of the month with shorter lines and straightforward guest list access.

Post-EDC Wednesday Las Vegas 2026 — Two Friends, L'Core & DJ Franzen
Wednesday May 20, 2026 occupies a singular position in the Las Vegas nightlife calendar: the day after EDC Week's final booking (Martin Garrix at OMNIA, Tuesday May 19) and the day before Memorial Day Weekend's opening night (Thursday May 21). For the tens of thousands of EDC attendees who extended their Las Vegas trips through the mid-week stretch, the post-EDC Wednesday is the last true recovery window before the MDW crowd arrives — consistently offering shorter lines, easier guest list access, and lower prices than either holiday bracket surrounding it. The standout booking is Two Friends at EBC at Night, the nightclub arm of the Encore Beach Club campus at Wynn Encore. The Los Angeles duo of Eli Sones and Matthew Halper — known for the Big Bootie Mix series, a long-running catalog of genre-spanning DJ sets that blend pop, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music — bring their crowd-first setlist approach to the 10:30 PM Wednesday slot. EBC at Night operates on the Encore campus in nightclub hours, retaining Wynn's production standards in a setting that bridges the beach club energy with late-night format. Two Friends appear across both Encore Beach Club (daytime) and EBC at Night (evening) in their residency circuit, making them one of the most versatile bookings in the Wynn nightlife portfolio and one of the few EBC acts performing both formats in the same season. Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan runs Lowkey in the Library on Wednesday nights — an intimate deep house concept hosted in the Library room, one of three distinct spaces that define Marquee's programming identity. L'Core takes the May 20 date, delivering deep house and atmospheric house music in the Library's acoustically focused environment. The Lowkey format is Marquee's mid-week counterpoint to its weekend headline programming: where Saturday nights bring festival-scale EDM to the main room, the Library concept draws the house music crowd that wants the Cosmopolitan venue experience in its most intimate form — a separate entrance, dedicated bar, and distinct sound system that function as a standalone venue within Marquee's footprint. Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand runs R&Bae Wednesdays with DJ Franzen — his fourth and second-to-last R&Bae Wednesday of May. Franzen's hip-hop, R&B, and old-school open-format sets provide a complete genre alternative to the electronic-focused EBC at Night and Marquee bookings, making the post-EDC Wednesday one of the more diverse single-night lineups of the May calendar. The Liquid Pool Lounge at ARIA opens its Wednesday Dip with DJ Buza for an afternoon pool option before the evening circuit opens. Drai's After Hours at the Vanderpump Hotel (formerly The Cromwell) runs its R&B Thursdays after-hours format starting at 1:00 AM — the natural extension of the night for guests closing out the Wednesday circuit.

Hakkasan Nightclub Late May 2026 — DJ Franzen, Telykast & Justin Credible
The final stretch of May 2026 closes Hakkasan Nightclub's month with three straight nights of confirmed bookings after Memorial Day Weekend. DJ Franzen returns for the last R&Bae Wednesdays of the month on May 27 — completing his four-Wednesday May residency at Hakkasan with the hip-hop and R&B open-format set that has defined the venue's midweek identity. Telykast, the Canadian production duo known for their melodic house and indie-electronic crossover sound, takes the room on Thursday May 28 — one of their few confirmed Las Vegas appearances of the spring. Justin Credible returns to Hakkasan on Friday May 29 for his second date of the month, anchoring the hip-hop and crossover programming that runs through the Hakkasan Thursday–Saturday rotation. Together these three nights give the final week of May a complete programming arc before June opens Hakkasan's summer calendar.

Marquee Nightclub May 30, 2026 — Deorro
Deorro returns to Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan on Saturday May 30, 2026 for his second confirmed Marquee Nightclub date of the month — following his earlier May booking and completing a May calendar that spans Marquee Nightclub, Marquee Dayclub, and OMNIA Nightclub across multiple dates. The May 30 date at Marquee falls on the final weekend of the month, positioning it as a post-Memorial Day, pre-summer Saturday that draws a mixed crowd of Las Vegas regulars and late spring visitors. Deorro's electro house and Melbourne bounce production fills Marquee's main room — a venue configuration with full LED wall, touring-grade sound, and multiple levels that complements the high-energy visual scale of his sets. The Cosmopolitan's central Strip location at the corner of Harmon and Las Vegas Boulevard makes Marquee accessible from virtually every major hotel corridor. Free guest list through NoCoverVegas covers entry for both men and women before 11:30 PM on this date.

Hakkasan Nightclub EDC Week 2026 — DJ Sourmilk & Murda Beatz
Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand anchors the Friday and Saturday nights of EDC Week 2026 with back-to-back bookings spanning the full festival weekend. DJ Sourmilk headlines Friday May 15 — EDC Night 1 — delivering the high-energy open-format and hip-hop crossover set that has made his Hakkasan residency one of the nightclub's most consistent draws. Murda Beatz, the Toronto producer known for crafting beats for Travis Scott, Drake, and Migos, headlines Saturday May 16 in his EDC Week debut at Hakkasan — bringing live production energy to the MGM Grand venue on the biggest Saturday night of the Las Vegas calendar. Both nights are peak EDC Week demand: doors at 10:30 PM, guest list closes at midnight.

Steve Aoki opens the festival weekend on Friday May 15 — his electro house and stadium-EDM production a natural fit for the OMNIA chandelier room on EDC Night 1. Chris Lake takes the room on Saturday May 16, bringing the deep, driving house sound that has made him one of the most in-demand live acts in the world — he appears on the same evening he performs at EDC festival stages, making this a rare double-header night. Sunday May 17 closes with DESEO: Latin Sundays, OMNIA's Latin night residency brought back as the EDC weekend wind-down. All three nights operate on peak EDC Week pricing; guest list through NoCoverVegas covers entry before midnight each night.

LIV Nightclub & LIV Beach EDC Week 2026 — Tiësto, David Guetta & John Summit
LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas delivers the headline EDC Week circuit across both LIV Nightclub and LIV Beach for all three festival nights. Friday May 15: Disco Lines plays LIV Beach in the afternoon (11:30 AM) and Tiësto headlines LIV Nightclub at night — Tiësto performs his LIV set before transitioning to his headlining slot at the EDC festival main stage, making it one of the only nights when a DJ performs both a Strip nightclub and a festival stage in the same evening. Saturday May 16: David Guetta plays LIV Beach for his peak-hour pool party slot (11:30 AM), one of his marquee annual EDC Week appearances at Fontainebleau. Sunday May 17: John Summit plays both LIV Beach in the afternoon and LIV Nightclub at night, completing a three-day run that makes LIV the central dayclub-to-nightclub hub of the EDC Week Strip circuit.

JEWEL Nightclub EDC Week 2026 — Mike Attack & DJ Buza
JEWEL Nightclub at ARIA Resort & Casino hosts dedicated EDC Week programming across both festival nights, delivering the intimate club experience that distinguishes JEWEL from the larger Strip venues. Mike Attack headlines Friday May 15 — EDC Night 1 — at the ARIA venue's boutique-scale environment, where the tighter capacity creates a proximity to the music that the 3,000-seat venues cannot match. DJ Buza returns to JEWEL on Saturday May 16 for his second EDC Week Jewel appearance, reinforcing his place as a JEWEL staple during the festival week. Both JEWEL nights operate with free guest list through NoCoverVegas and are among the most accessible EDC Week options on the Strip — no festival ticket required, walkable from the central hotel cluster.

XS Nightclub EDC Week 2026 — Hugel, The Chainsmokers & Sofi Tukker
XS Nightclub at Encore delivers three consecutive nights of headline EDC Week performances at the Wynn campus, spanning electronic and pop-crossover across the full festival weekend. Hugel opens the run on Friday May 15 — his melodic tech house sound matching XS's open-air indoor/outdoor design on EDC Night 1. The Chainsmokers headline Saturday May 16 in one of the Strip's most anticipated EDC Week bookings — their combination of live performance elements and pop-EDM production has made their annual XS appearances a consistent sellout. Sofi Tukker closes the XS EDC weekend on Sunday May 17, bringing the duo's Brazilian electronic-pop energy to the Sunday closer slot. XS is a 10-minute walk from OMNIA and steps from Encore Beach Club, making it an efficient Wynn campus circuit stop during the festival weekend.

Palm Tree Beach Club EDC Week 2026 — Zedd, Alesso & Chris Lake
Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand delivers three straight days of A-list headliners across the EDC Week festival weekend, booking a different top-tier act each afternoon. Zedd headlines Friday May 15 — his multi-genre production spanning EDM, dance-pop, and progressive house perfect for Palm Tree's outdoor pool setting on EDC Night 1. Alesso takes Saturday May 16, the peak dayclub day of EDC Week, bringing his signature progressive house and melodic EDM sound to a sold-out Palm Tree crowd. Chris Lake closes Sunday May 17 for the final Palm Tree EDC pool party, reprising his Saturday night OMNIA Dayclub appearance with a dedicated afternoon set that gives daytime fans a second Chris Lake experience across the weekend. All three Palm Tree dates are afternoon events (11:00 AM); no festival ticket required, guest list through NoCoverVegas covers entry.

OMNIA Dayclub Grand Opening Weekend — Fisher, RÜFÜS DU SOL & Martin Garrix
OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar opens its doors for the first time on Friday, May 15, 2026 — EDC Night 1 — at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, debuting a 46,000-square-foot dayclub and Skybar complex built from the ground up directly on Las Vegas Boulevard. The grand opening coincides deliberately with EDC Week, the highest-traffic nightlife week of the Las Vegas calendar, and books three consecutive days of festival-caliber headliners to announce the venue's arrival on the Strip's competitive dayclub circuit. Opening night, Friday May 15, belongs to FISHER — Graeme Fisher, the Australian DJ and producer whose tech house and bass house productions have earned him one of the most devoted live followings in electronic music. His sets build from industrial-influenced bass lines and driving percussion into extended peaks calibrated for large outdoor pool environments, a format perfectly suited to OMNIA Dayclub's outdoor pool deck design and Boulevard-facing position at Caesars. Fisher's May 15 headline booking is the single most in-demand pool party ticket of EDC Week 2026 — a venue-defining moment that pairs the year's most anticipated new dayclub opening with one of the touring circuit's most consistent headliner draws. His set begins at 11:00 AM with doors opening on the new pool deck facing Las Vegas Boulevard. Saturday May 16 brings RÜFÜS DU SOL in a DJ Set — the Sydney trio of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George, and James Hunt, whose catalog of melodic house, electronic indie, and atmospheric dance music has made them one of the most artistically acclaimed acts in electronic music. Their DJ Set format translates the full emotional range of their studio work — including 'Innerbloom,' 'Treat You Better,' and their Grammy-nominated album Surrender — into a club-paced performance that opens up across extended afternoon sessions. RÜFÜS DU SOL as the second night of OMNIA Dayclub's opening weekend signals Tao Group's intent to book acts with critical credibility alongside commercial mass, not just festival draw. Sunday May 17 closes the grand opening weekend with Martin Garrix, who headlines alongside Justin Mylo for the venue's third opening day. Garrix — the Dutch producer who held the world's number one DJ Mag ranking in 2016 and has maintained a top-five position since — brings his melodic progressive house and future rave sound to OMNIA Dayclub's most commercially accessible opening-weekend booking. His return to the venue later in summer confirms his role as a recurring OMNIA Dayclub headliner across the full 2026 season. OMNIA Dayclub's 46,000-square-foot footprint spans pool deck, Skybar, and indoor lounge areas positioned directly on the Las Vegas Boulevard-facing exterior of Caesars Palace. Its elevated bridge connection to OMNIA Nightclub creates a combined 121,000-square-foot entertainment complex — the largest connected day/night venue in Las Vegas — allowing guests to move between Skybar programming and the nightclub circuit without leaving the property. Tao Group operates the complex alongside OMNIA Nightclub, Hakkasan (MGM Grand), Marquee (The Cosmopolitan), TAO (The Venetian), and LIV (Fontainebleau) as the dominant nightlife operator on the Strip. All three opening weekend dates carry free guest list availability through NoCoverVegas. Doors open at 11:00 AM daily. The opening weekend is among the most anticipated pool party events in Las Vegas history given the combined draw of EDC Week attendance and first-ever venue curiosity.

OMNIA Dayclub Memorial Day Weekend 2026 — Chris Lake, Tiësto & Fisher
OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace hosts its first Memorial Day Weekend programming across three days — May 22, 23, and 24, 2026 — just one week after the venue's historic grand opening. Three consecutive headliner bookings define the first MDW at OMNIA Dayclub: Chris Lake on Friday May 22, Tiësto on Saturday May 23, and FISHER closing the weekend on Sunday May 24. The lineup places OMNIA Dayclub at the center of Las Vegas's Memorial Day pool party circuit in only its second full week of operation. Chris Lake opens MDW on Friday May 22. The Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer — born Christopher Charles Lake in Surrey, British Columbia — has defined the contemporary deep house and tech house landscape through his Black Book Records label, his DJ-Kicks compilation, and a catalog of productions including 'Operator,' 'Turn Off The Lights,' 'Love... Finally,' and the collaboration 'The Answer' with Skrillex. His OMNIA Dayclub residency slot reflects Tao Group's strategy to anchor weekly programming around high-credibility deep house and tech house bookings alongside larger commercial headliners. Lake's sets build from low-slung percussive grooves through extended mixwork designed for Las Vegas's outdoor dayclub environment. Tiësto headlines the peak Saturday May 23 slot. The Dutch producer Tijs Michiel Verwest — performing as Tiësto since the mid-1990s — is among electronic music's most decorated artists, with multiple Grammy nominations and Las Vegas residencies spanning Hakkasan, Wynn Nightlife, and now Tao Group's OMNIA Dayclub. His 2026 season at OMNIA Dayclub continues a multi-venue Las Vegas presence sustained for more than 15 years. His current production style blends peak-time progressive and tech house with commercial accessibility that drives Saturday guest list demand at new venues. Memorial Day Weekend Saturday at OMNIA Dayclub with Tiësto is the highest-demand slot of the three-day run. FISHER closes the MDW weekend on Sunday May 24, returning to OMNIA Dayclub nine days after headlining the venue's grand opening on May 15. Australian DJ Graeme Fisher's back-to-back appearances in the venue's first two major weekends confirm his role as a cornerstone residency act for the 2026 season. His bass-forward tech house and industrial house sets — 'Losing It,' 'Yeah the Girls,' and 'Crowd Control' among the anchors — provide the weekend's highest-energy close, calibrated for Sunday afternoon pool deck performance. All three dates carry free guest list availability through NoCoverVegas. Doors open at 11:00 AM. The 46,000 sq ft outdoor pool deck, Skybar, and indoor lounge at Caesars Palace provide direct Las Vegas Boulevard views — a vantage point not available at EBC or Marquee.

OMNIA Dayclub Late May 2026 — Louis the Child, Zedd & Afrojack
OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace closes out May 2026 with three consecutive headliner bookings: Louis the Child on Friday May 29, Zedd on Saturday May 30, and Afrojack on Sunday May 31. The late May run completes a full month of headline programming at the new Caesars Palace dayclub — covering the grand opening (May 15-17), Memorial Day Weekend (May 22-24), and the final days of the month (May 29-31). Louis the Child opens late May on Friday May 29. The Chicago-based duo — Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett, performing together since 2013 — emerged from the SoundCloud generation with a hybrid of indie pop, house, and synth-pop that has earned hundreds of millions of streams and a festival circuit presence across Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball. Their track 'It's Strange' introduced the duo to international audiences; subsequent releases including 'Love Is Alive,' 'Better Not,' and 'Wild' have expanded their reach into commercial pop radio while retaining a dance-floor sensibility well suited to afternoon pool party programming. Zedd headlines the peak Saturday May 30 date. Anton Zaslavski — performing as Zedd since his international breakthrough with the Grammy Award-winning 'Clarity' in 2013 — has established one of the most durable Las Vegas nightlife presences in electronic music. His catalog of progressive house, electro house, and pop-electronic productions including 'Beautiful Now,' 'Stay the Night,' 'The Middle,' and 'Happy Now' performs at peak energy in large outdoor environments. Zedd's 2026 OMNIA Dayclub residency spans multiple dates, with May 30 anchoring the venue's final full-capacity Saturday of the month. His sets build from recognizable catalog into extended peak-time sequences calibrated for Saturday afternoon dayclub energy. Afrojack closes late May 2026 on Sunday May 31. The Dutch DJ Nick van de Wall — performing as Afrojack since the mid-2000s — has been a fixture on the Las Vegas pool party circuit for more than a decade, with extended residencies at Encore Beach Club, Hakkasan, and now OMNIA Dayclub as part of Tao Group's 2026 season roster. His big room EDM and progressive house productions — 'Take Over Control,' 'Ten Feet Tall,' and a remix catalog spanning major pop crossovers — wrap OMNIA Dayclub's first full month of programming. The May 31 Sunday booking closes May 2026 at the new Caesars Palace dayclub and transitions the season into the full summer calendar running through Labor Day Weekend in September. All three dates carry free guest list availability through NoCoverVegas. Doors open at 11:00 AM.

XS Nightclub Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — Diplo, The Chainsmokers & Loud Luxury
XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas anchors three consecutive Cinco de Mayo nights with a lineup calibrated for one of the most competitive nightlife weekends of spring 2026. Friday May 1 opens with Diplo presenting Thomas Wesley with special guest Dustin Lynch — a country-electronic crossover that draws a broader demographic than a standard EDM booking and taps into Wynn's commitment to programming across genre lines. Saturday May 2 delivers The Chainsmokers in their signature live-hybrid format, blending Andrew Taggart's live vocals with DJ production in a peak night that competes directly with Tiësto at OMNIA and Calvin Harris at Encore Beach Club. Sunday May 3 closes with Loud Luxury, the Canadian house duo known for their broad crossover appeal. XS occupies 40,000 square feet across the indoor nightclub and adjacent outdoor patio within Wynn Encore, with a layout that opens to the Encore Beach Club pool during the day. The venue consistently ranks as the highest-grossing nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers general admission for qualifying groups on all three nights; advance registration is essential for Saturday May 2, the weekend's highest-demand XS date.

OMNIA Nightclub Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — Deorro, Tiësto & Paloma Mami
OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace delivers three consecutive Cinco de Mayo nights with a lineup that moves from festival-circuit house to global pop electronic to Latin pop across the full weekend. Friday May 1 opens with Deorro — Mexican-American DJ and producer Bernardo Aguirre, whose hard-driving big room sets carry particular resonance on a Cinco de Mayo opening night and whose catalog includes 'Five More Hours' and major collaborations with Chris Brown and Elvis Crespo. Saturday May 2 escalates with Tiësto, the Dutch DJ whose recent productions on Casablanca/Republic Records have crossed into pop radio — one of the highest-profile Cinco de Mayo peak-night bookings in Las Vegas. Sunday May 3 closes with Paloma Mami, the Chilean-American reggaeton and Latin trap artist whose sound aligns directly with the weekend's Latin cultural energy. OMNIA spans three floors inside Caesars Palace, anchored by an 80-foot chandelier installation and a main room designed for high-capacity EDM performance. Its central Strip position provides walk-in accessibility from the Bellagio fountains and Forum Shops. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers general admission for qualifying groups; Saturday May 2 with Tiësto has the highest demand and earliest expected sellout of the three-night run.

Encore Beach Club Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — Hugel, Calvin Harris & Dillon Francis
Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas presents three consecutive afternoons of Cinco de Mayo pool party programming across May 1-3, 2026. Friday May 1 opens with Hugel — the French DJ whose melodic house sound and Latin-influenced production style (he helped popularize Latin house with 'Morenita') creates a natural cultural connection for a Cinco de Mayo opening afternoon. Saturday May 2 delivers Calvin Harris, in his first major Las Vegas pool party date of the 2026 summer season at EBC under his exclusive two-year Wynn Nightlife deal — one of the most anticipated single-date bookings of the entire Cinco de Mayo weekend. Sunday May 3 closes with Dillon Francis, whose moombahton and Latin-inflected EDM rounds out a weekend that spans from melodic house through pop crossover. Encore Beach Club operates on the north end of the Wynn campus across 5 acres with a European-style main pool and private cabanas. Many guests attend both EBC in the afternoon and XS Nightclub in the evening on the same day, moving between venues as the sun sets. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers general admission for qualifying groups; Saturday's Calvin Harris date is the highest-demand pool party booking in Las Vegas on May 2, 2026.

Hakkasan Nightclub Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — Lunay & Tyga
Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand presents two nights of Cinco de Mayo programming with a Latin-forward booking strategy that capitalizes on the holiday's cultural energy across May 1-2, 2026. Friday May 1 features Lunay — the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist born Emmanuel Gavia Colón, who rose to prominence through collaborations with Bad Bunny, Ozuna, and Jhay Cortez and whose music brings authentic Latin urban sound to a Cinco de Mayo opening night on the Strip. Saturday May 2 escalates with Tyga, the Los Angeles rapper whose catalog of hip-hop and R&B crossover hits has made him a consistent Las Vegas headliner, delivering high-energy performance energy to the peak night of the weekend. Hakkasan spans six levels and more than 80,000 square feet inside MGM Grand — one of the largest nightclub footprints on the Strip. The Lunay booking on Cinco de Mayo Friday gives the venue a distinct Latin-programming identity on a night where most Strip clubs are booking EDM headliners. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers general admission for qualifying groups on both nights.

Marquee Nightclub Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — Louis The Child & Alesso
Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas presents two nights of Cinco de Mayo programming across May 1-2, 2026. Friday May 1 opens with Louis The Child — the Chicago duo of Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett, whose indie-electronic sound blends live production with emotional pop songwriting in a format that differentiates Marquee from the EDM-heavy programming at other Strip venues on Cinco de Mayo Friday. Saturday May 2 brings Alesso, the Swedish DJ and producer whose progressive house career has produced global hits including 'Heroes (We Could Be)' featuring Tove Lo and 'Scars' featuring Ryan Tedder, positioning Saturday's booking as one of the strongest progressive house options in Las Vegas on the peak Cinco de Mayo night. Marquee's main room operates across three interconnected spaces with a 40,000 square-foot footprint and seven bars. Its Cosmopolitan location provides easy foot traffic from mid-Strip venues. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers general admission for qualifying groups on both nights.

Zouk Nightclub Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — Duke Dumont
Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas presents Duke Dumont as its Cinco de Mayo resident across both Friday May 1 and Saturday May 2, 2026, delivering two consecutive nights of deep house and UK house programming in one of the Strip's most technically advanced electronic music venues. Adam Dyment — born October 28, 1981 in England — has built his career as one of UK house music's most consistently productive producers, with certified records including 'I Got U' (feat. Jax Jones, #1 UK Singles Chart), 'Need U (100%)' (feat. AME), and 'Won't Look Back.' His two-night Zouk run gives the venue a coherent programming identity anchored in UK-flavored deep house, distinct from the EDM and hip-hop running simultaneously at larger Strip venues. Zouk Nightclub inside Resorts World features a custom Funktion-One sound system and multi-room design that supports genre-specific programming. Its newer construction provides superior acoustics compared to older Strip nightclubs, and the Resorts World campus generates strong hotel-guest foot traffic alongside the walk-in crowd. Guest list through NoCoverVegas covers general admission for qualifying groups on both nights.

JEWEL Nightclub Cinco de Mayo Weekend 2026 — DJ Lucky Lou & Kid Conrad
JEWEL Nightclub at ARIA Resort & Casino anchors the south end of the Las Vegas Strip during Cinco de Mayo weekend 2026, running Friday May 1 and Saturday May 2 with two distinct resident nights in its 24,000-square-foot space. DJ Lucky Lou opens the Cinco de Mayo circuit on Friday May 1, delivering the high-energy open-format programming that JEWEL's resident nights are built around — blending current hip-hop, Top 40 crossovers, and EDM anthems across JEWEL's LED-wrapped main room and intimate mezzanine level. Saturday May 2 brings Kid Conrad to the decks, a rising performer whose club-ready sets lean into the peak-energy dynamics of major holiday Saturdays. JEWEL's Cinco de Mayo positioning is distinct from the EDC-adjacent and Memorial Day bookings later in May: these are accessible resident nights rather than marquee headliner events, offering a more approachable entry point into the ARIA nightlife circuit. Cover charges on Cinco de Mayo weekends typically run $30–$60 depending on gender and timing, with free guest list available through NoCoverVegas for groups registering in advance. JEWEL operates Friday and Saturday nights from 10:30 PM through 4:00 AM, with table service available along both the main floor and the elevated VIP sections flanking the stage. The ARIA location means Cinco de Mayo guests can pair JEWEL with daytime pool programming at nearby properties or dinner at ARIA's extensive restaurant collection — Catch, Jean-Georges Steakhouse, Carbone, or Bardot Brasserie — before transitioning to the nightclub circuit after 10 PM.

JEWEL Nightclub May 2026 Weekly Nights — DJ Nova & DJ CLA
JEWEL Nightclub at ARIA Resort & Casino runs two standalone Saturday nights in May 2026 that fall outside the major holiday weekends — DJ Nova on Saturday May 9 and DJ CLA on Saturday May 30. These dates represent the club's regular resident programming in a month otherwise dominated by Cinco de Mayo (May 1–2), EDC Week (May 13–16), and Memorial Day Weekend (May 22–25). DJ Nova takes the May 9 booking on the Saturday of Mother's Day Weekend, delivering JEWEL's signature open-format programming — Top 40, hip-hop, and EDM — for an above-average-occupancy weekend that draws couples, date-night groups, and celebratory dinners before transitioning into the nightclub circuit. JEWEL's 24,000-square-foot main room at ARIA absorbs Mother's Day Weekend traffic without the sold-out dynamics of EDC or MDW, making May 9 one of the more accessible Saturday nights on the south-Strip club circuit. DJ CLA's Saturday May 30 date closes out the month in the post-Memorial Day window, when major Strip headliner demand has receded and cover charge thresholds drop relative to the preceding holiday weekends. May 30 provides a practical late-May Las Vegas nightclub option for groups whose travel dates fall after MDW — strong programming in a 24,000 sq ft venue with ARIA's full hotel and dining ecosystem, at a price point typically well below the same calendar slot at XS or OMNIA. Free guest list through NoCoverVegas is available for both nights for eligible groups registering before midnight.

Las Vegas April 30 2026 — TELYkast at Hakkasan & Stephi K at Marquee Dayclub
Thursday April 30 is the unofficial eve of Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas — the last major booking night before the Strip's most talent-dense May sequence begins in earnest on Friday May 1. Two confirmed bookings anchor the circuit: TELYkast at Hakkasan Nightclub inside MGM Grand and Stephi K at Marquee Dayclub inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. TELYkast, the Los Angeles production duo known for bright electro-pop productions incorporating live guitar and analog synths alongside modern dancefloor energy, plays Hakkasan's main room for one of their two confirmed 2026 Las Vegas dates — a Thursday booking that positions them in Hakkasan's mid-week rotation ahead of the Cinco de Mayo weekend surge. The 80,000-square-foot Hakkasan footprint is one of the Strip's largest nightclub spaces, giving a Thursday TELYkast booking an outsized venue-to-crowd intimacy that the same act would not find on a Saturday. Their hook-driven melodic sound — breakout track 'Somebody New' established their electronic pop crossover identity — plays naturally to the mix of hotel guests and Las Vegas regulars who constitute the Thursday pre-holiday crowd. Stephi K opens the calendar on the dayclub side with an afternoon set at Marquee Dayclub, delivering open-format pool party programming through the 12 PM to 6 PM dayclub window. April 30 is one of the first substantive spring pool party Thursdays before the Cinco de Mayo rush redirects the Strip into full summer mode from May 1 onward. Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan runs one of the Strip's most consistently programmed Thursday dayclub calendars, with Stephi K's open-format approach — spanning hip-hop, pop, R&B, and dance — suited to an afternoon crowd that skews younger and more casual than the peak weekend pool party demographic. Free guest list through NoCoverVegas is available for both events — Marquee Dayclub in the afternoon and Hakkasan Nightclub from 10:30 PM onward — making April 30 a complete Las Vegas nightlife day within walking distance of the mid-Strip corridor.

The Las Vegas stop marks the largest country music stadium event of spring 2026 in Nevada, drawing 65,000+ fans per night during one of the Strip's most talent-dense nightlife weekends.

Zouk Nightclub Late May 2026 — Noizu & Meduza
Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas closes out May 2026 with two of its most consistent 2026 residents across the final weekend of the month. Noizu headlines Friday May 29 — the Mexican-American tech house producer whose Insomniac IN/ROTATION catalog and festival circuit profile have made him one of the most frequently booked artists at Zouk across 2025 and 2026. His productions blend tight percussion, rolling basslines, and melodic hooks that work equally in dayclub and nightclub contexts, making his late-May Friday booking a natural bridge between Memorial Day Weekend and the summer residency calendar. Meduza follows on Saturday May 30 — the Italian house trio whose 2019 global crossover single 'Piece of Your Heart' established them as one of the most commercially successful house acts of the streaming era, and whose Zouk 2026 residency has included multiple dates across spring. Their euphoric, piano-driven melodic house sound draws a broad crowd and their production approach scales well to Zouk's 5,000-person capacity and surround-sound system.

JCK Las Vegas at SAHARA: What to Know
About JCK Las Vegas. The jewelry trade's most important global gathering, JCK Las Vegas 2026 runs May 29–June 1 at The Venetian Expo. Over 30,000 retailers, manufacturers, designers, and gemstone dealers from 100+ countries converge on the Strip for four days of buying, selling, networking, and trend discovery across finished jewelry, loose gemstones, watches, and luxury accessories. The trade show draws around 30K industry professionals to The Venetian Expo each May-June, concentrated in the jewelry and diamonds sector. Las Vegas venue operators recognize JCK Las Vegas as one of the busier convention weeks of the year: guest lists fill 24 to 48 hours before target nights, and cover charges at walk-up are higher than on a standard weekend.
SAHARA for JCK Las Vegas industry professionals. SAHARA Las Vegas is a refreshed classic at the north end of the Strip. While it does not have a major nightclub on property, the new Fontainebleau and Resorts World are within walking distance, giving you quick access to LIV, Zouk, and Ayu Dayclub. The Las Vegas Monorail stops right at SAHARA for easy Strip transportation. SAHARA sits 5 min walk from The Venetian Expo — close enough to walk on mild evenings and easy rideshare distance otherwise. As a budget-tier option, SAHARA attracts mid-level attendees and regional buyers attending JCK Las Vegas. The $35/night resort fee covers amenities including pool access, fitness facilities, and Wi-Fi.
On-property nightlife access. SAHARA is among the Strip hotels that give JCK Las Vegas industry professionals direct on-property access to AZILO Ultra Pool. For convention groups, the advantage is logistical: no rideshare coordination, no surge pricing exposure, and no dispersal problem for a group that has been separated across the show floor all day. Beyond that, LIV at Fontainebleau (5 min walk) and Zouk Nightclub (8 min walk) are the closest off-property options. Use the NoCoverVegas guest list for both on-property and nearby options — one submission covers whichever venue the group prefers on the night.
Nightclubs in May-June. JCK Las Vegas in May-June falls outside Las Vegas's pool party season, which concentrates trade show nightlife entirely into late-night venues. OMNIA Nightclub, XS, Hakkasan, Zouk, LIV, and Marquee all program year-round regardless of season. May-June nightclub bookings run the standard Las Vegas headliner rotation with no off-season thinning. Check the NoCoverVegas May-June calendar for specific headliner dates overlapping the JCK Las Vegas window.
Strip clubs during JCK Las Vegas from SAHARA. Las Vegas strip clubs are the most convention-compatible late-night option because every major club — Sapphire, Hustler Club, Spearmint Rhino, and Peppermint Hippo — sends complimentary transportation directly to SAHARA. No rideshare required, no cover charge, and a host at the door expecting your group by name. For JCK Las Vegas groups with mixed preferences, Sapphire's 71,000-square-foot facility operates more like a nightclub — multiple bars, performance stages, and VIP sections that accommodate groups where not everyone is a strip club regular. The free limo from SAHARA is available every night of JCK Las Vegas week. Text (725) 999-9293 to confirm pickup.
