Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, Marquee Dayclub, and TAO Beach operate Friday and Saturday from 11 AM.

Strip clubs during Think 2026 (IBM Think) from Residence Inn Convention Center. 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 Residence Inn Convention Center. No rideshare required, no cover charge, and a host at the door expecting your group by name. For Think 2026 (IBM Think) 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.
