Matt Faulk at XS Nightclub

XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club occupy opposite ends of Wynn Encore's nightlife programming: XS as the premium indoor nightclub running Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 PM to 4:00 AM, EBC as the outdoor pool party dayclub operating through the warm-weather season from late spring through October. Both venues share the Encore Tower footprint, a production infrastructure team, and the Wynn Nightlife booking philosophy that treats a guest's full evening as a designed experience rather than a series of separate transactions. A DJ who holds recurring bookings at both XS and EBC — as Matt Faulk does — occupies a position that most visiting artists do not: the Wynn-familiar performer whose knowledge of both the 40,000 square foot indoor room and the outdoor pool setup reflects a sustained working relationship with the property.

XS Nightclub was designed by Roger Thomas — Wynn Resorts' lead interior designer, responsible for the hotel interiors across Wynn and Encore — using a champagne-gold and amber palette and the sweeping crescent plan of a formal performance venue. Thomas's approach treats the nightclub as architecture: the room's material quality communicates Wynn's commitment to hospitality as an integrated sensory environment rather than a casino amenity. Matt Faulk's other professional identity as founder of BASIC®, the design agency whose clients include Apple, Google, Nike, Beats by Dre, Gucci, and Patagonia, reflects a parallel career commitment to the same premise — that visual environment, functional intent, and user experience constitute a single design problem. His DJ sets at XS carry this through: structured narrative arcs informed by his Insomniac Radio broadcast background, treating the room's architectural character as context to work with rather than a backdrop to overcome.

The 2026 XS renovation — production upgrades to LED systems and stage infrastructure with the Roger Thomas aesthetic preserved, closed September through NYE — positions the venue for a reopening that brings Wynn Nightlife's full electronic programming back online. For Matt Faulk, whose Wynn bookings span both XS and EBC and predate the renovation closure, the return represents a continuation of the same property relationship rather than a new engagement. His house music calendar at XS post-renovation will follow the same format: performances calibrated for a room where the architecture has always treated nightlife with serious design intent.
