Dress Code Matters
Coming straight from the convention floor? Most nightclubs enforce an upscale dress code. Men should swap sneakers for dress shoes and lose the lanyard. Business casual from your convention day usually works, but avoid athletic wear and hats.
Plan for Surge Pricing
Rideshare prices spike during major conventions. Stay at Cosmopolitan and you can walk to OMNIA Nightclub without an Uber. For strip clubs, take advantage of the free limo pickup — every club on our list sends one directly to Cosmopolitan.
Thursday & Friday Are Peak Nights
Most Licensing Expo attendees hit the clubs on Thursday and Friday nights. If you want a more relaxed experience, try an early weeknight or a daytime pool party. Pool parties run Friday–Sunday during the March through October season.
