After Hours
After the Convention
The show floor closes, but Las Vegas is just getting started. Here are tips for making the most of your nights during SID Display Week.
Submit Guest List 5–7 Days Out
SID Display Week is one of the most demanding weeks in Las Vegas nightlife — the same weekend that fills convention halls also fills nightclub guest lists. Submit your NoCoverVegas request before the first day of the conference to lock your spot. Text (725) 999-9293 or use the form below with your night, group size, and venue preference.
Lanyard Off, Dress Code On
Convention floors are dressed for comfort; nightclubs enforce upscale attire. Before leaving The LINQ, swap the badge lanyard and conference tote for dress shoes (men) or cocktail attire (women). Business casual from a conference day usually clears the door, but athletic wear, hats, and sneakers will get you turned away at OMNIA, XS, Hakkasan, and Marquee.
Thursday Is the Real Peak Night
For most multi-day conventions, Thursday night is the highest-demand session — speakers have wrapped, deals are signed, and energy is at its peak before Friday departures begin. If you want the full experience, Thursday at Drai's After Hours is it. Friday thins as early-flight attendees leave; Saturday is available for anyone extending the trip.
Dayclubs for Networking, Nightclubs for After-Hours
Pool parties are an underused extension of convention networking — the informal outdoor setting at Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, or Marquee Dayclub breaks down the formality of conference panels and badge-scanning lobbies. If SID Display Week overlaps with the March–October pool season, an afternoon dayclub slot can be more productive for relationship-building than a scheduled coffee meeting.
Nightlife Calendar
What's On in Las Vegas During SID Display Week
Las Vegas runs headliner nightlife events every weekend regardless of what convention is in town. Here is exactly what is happening at clubs near The LINQ while you are in Las Vegas for SID Display Week — so you can plan your nights before you arrive.
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.

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.

LIV Las Vegas May 8-9 Weekend 2026 — Tiësto & David Guetta
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.

The Friday after Cinco de Mayo brings Deorro back to OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace for his second confirmed May 2026 residency date. 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.

Hakkasan Nightclub Early May 2026 — DJ Franzen, Laidback Luke, Four Color Zack & Justin Credible

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.

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.

Insider Guide
SID Display Week at The LINQ: What to Know
About SID Display Week. The premier event for the electronic display industry, featuring innovations in OLED, microLED, AR/VR displays, and flexible screens. SID Display Week 2026 is in Los Angeles (May 3-8). The conference rotates — when in Las Vegas, display technology professionals enjoy the city's LED-lit nightlife scene. The convention draws around 8,500 attendees to Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles (rotates cities, has been in Las Vegas) each May, concentrated in the display and oled sector. Las Vegas venue operators recognize SID Display Week 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.
The LINQ for SID Display Week attendees. The LINQ is a budget-friendly option in the heart of the Strip with the High Roller observation wheel and the LINQ Promenade right outside. Drai's After Hours at The Vanderpump Hotel is just steps away, and OMNIA at Caesars Palace is a five-minute walk. You are surrounded by nightlife. The LINQ sits 12 min ride from Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles (rotates cities, has been in Las Vegas) — a standard 10-to-15-minute rideshare from the show floor without convention-week traffic. As a budget-tier option, The LINQ attracts mid-level attendees and regional buyers attending SID Display Week. The $37/night resort fee covers amenities including pool access, fitness facilities, and Wi-Fi.
On-property nightlife access. The LINQ is among the Strip hotels that give SID Display Week attendees direct on-property access to Influence, The Pool at The LINQ. 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, Drai's After Hours (3 min walk) and OMNIA Nightclub (5 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.
Pool parties during SID Display Week. SID Display Week in May means the full Las Vegas pool party circuit is running. Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, Marquee Dayclub, and TAO Beach operate Friday and Saturday from 11 AM. The typical SID Display Week schedule closes the show floor by 5 or 6 PM — making a post-convention Friday afternoon pool session logistically feasible. The LINQ's own Influence pool deck provides a lower-key option for groups that prefer to stay on property. The closest dayclubs from The LINQ: OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar. Guest list access keeps the cover charge off at all of them.
Dining and group coordination at The LINQ. Coordinating a group dinner before a night out is one of the practical challenges during SID Display Week week. The LINQ's restaurant lineup — Guy Fieri's, Hash House a Go Go — all of which take reservations. For SID Display Week groups managing scattered show-floor schedules, a standing 7:30 or 8 PM dinner reservation provides a reliable gathering point after the convention floor closes. Book restaurant reservations and nightclub guest lists in the same planning window — both fill faster during SID Display Week week than on a normal Las Vegas weekend.
Strip clubs during SID Display Week from The LINQ. 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 The LINQ. No rideshare required, no cover charge, and a host at the door expecting your group by name. For SID Display Week 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 The LINQ is available every night of SID Display Week week. Text (725) 999-9293 to confirm pickup.
Book 48–72 Hours Out
Convention weeks fill guest lists faster than normal weekends. Submit your request as soon as you book The LINQ— not the night before. Text (725) 999-9293 or use the form below.
