Pool Party Guide · Summer 2026

Marquee Dayclub
Summer 2026

Tyga for Memorial Day Weekend. Lost Frequencies and Timmy Trumpet for EDC Week. Beatport Fridays every single Friday from May through Labor Day. Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan is running the most consistent summer electronic and hip-hop pool calendar on the Las Vegas Strip in 2026.

Split-level pool decks, Strip-facing views, 22,000 square feet, and a lineup that rotates real artists week after week — this is the guide to every major Marquee Dayclub moment from May through September 2026.

Memorial Day Weekend · May 22-25

Tyga Headlines Marquee MDW 2026

Memorial Day Weekend 2026 at Marquee runs as a four-day event that blends hip-hop at the dayclub with late-night energy at the nightclub upstairs. The headline booking is Tyga on Saturday, May 23— a Marquee Dayclub exclusive that draws the Strip's biggest MDW dayclub crowd. Doors open at 11 AM; Tyga typically takes the decks around 1:30-2:00 PM.

Fabolous follows on Sunday, May 24, extending the MDW hip-hop run into the long weekend's final pool day. Friday night at Marquee Nightclub upstairs, DJ Mustard handles the opener — making this a seamless day-to-night, Friday-through-Monday experience without ever leaving The Cosmopolitan.

MDW is Marquee's busiest weekend of the year — comparable to New Year's Eve for nightclubs. Cabana minimums spike to $3,000-$6,000 for Saturday; daybed and general admission spots sell out days before. Guest list cutoff for Saturday typically closes Thursday or Friday. Plan early.

Every Friday · May 1 through September 4

Beatport Fridays: 16-Week Electronic Music Residency

The most consistent Friday electronic pool party in Las Vegas history. Beatport — the world's largest digital platform for DJs and electronic music — has partnered with Marquee Dayclub for a 16-week Friday residency spanning the full summer 2026 season. Every Friday from May 1 through September 4, the pool deck at Marquee hosts a curated electronic music artist.

The lineup touches every corner of the electronic spectrum. Walker & Royce bring their signature house and techno sound on May 8. Layla Benitez takes a Friday in June. Coco & Breezy, the twin DJ duo known for blending electronic and R&B, hold down June 19. Tchami, the French house producer behind "After Life" and "Adieu," anchors July 24. And Lost Frequencies — one of the most-streamed house acts in the world — plays the peak-traffic Friday of the summer: EDC Week, May 15.

What makes Beatport Fridays different from a typical weekly is the curation layer. These aren't residency DJs on autopilot — every date features an artist with a specific Beatport identity, usually a genre specialist or a breakthrough act with strong streaming momentum. The result is a Friday program that rewards repeat visits. Each week is a distinct experience.

Lineup subject to updates. Remaining dates TBA — check Marquee Dayclub events for announcements as they drop.

EDC Week 2026 · May 13-19

Lost Frequencies and Timmy Trumpet: Marquee EDC Week

EDC Week transforms the entire Strip into a festival campus, and Marquee Dayclub plays a key role in the daytime programming. Two of the week's biggest dayclub moments happen here: Lost Frequencies on Friday, May 15 (the Beatport Fridays EDC slot) and Timmy Trumpet on Saturday, May 16.

EDC itself runs May 15-17 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (about 15 minutes north of the Strip). The typical EDC attendee pattern: dayclub from 11 AM to 5 PM, hotel rest, then Uber to the Speedway for gates-open at 5 PM. Marquee's location at The Cosmopolitan puts you at the center of the Strip with easy rideshare access to the venue.

The EDC Week crowd at Marquee skews toward the electronic music end of the pool party spectrum — more progressive house and festival EDM, less hip-hop. The Beatport brand alignment makes Lost Frequencies on Friday feel like an extension of the festival itself, just with a pool.

Weekly Programming

Poolside Sundays & Monday Takeover

While Saturdays and Fridays (Beatport) carry the big headliner bookings, Marquee Dayclub runs two distinct weekly formats on Sundays and Mondays that cater to different crowds and different budgets.

For visitors with flexible schedules, a Tuesday-through-Monday extended trip lets you hit: Beatport Fridays on Friday, the Saturday headliner, a relaxed Poolside Sunday, and a lower-cost Monday Takeover. Four distinct pool party formats, same venue, $0 guest list entry for all four with advance registration.

The Venue

Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan

Marquee Dayclub occupies 22,000 square feet across a split-level design at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas — one of the mid-Strip hotel towers with direct views of the Bellagio fountains to the south and the Eiffel Tower replica to the north. The upper level features the main stage and DJ booth flanked by the primary pool; the lower level extends into a second pool area with daybeds, bungalows, and more secluded cabana options.

Opened in 2012 as part of the Marquee brand's Las Vegas expansion, the dayclub has maintained consistent programming quality over 14 years — outlasting several competitors that opened and closed in the same era. The split-level architecture creates natural zones: the upper pool for those who want to be at the center of the action near the DJ booth; the lower level for groups who want space and a more relaxed atmosphere.

The Cosmopolitan address (3708 S Las Vegas Blvd) places Marquee at the center of the Strip's action — Aria and Vdara are across the street to the south; Bellagio, MGM Grand, and the pedestrian-heavy center of the Strip are within a five-minute walk in either direction. No taxi or Uber needed to access Marquee Nightclub upstairs or The Cosmopolitan's restaurant row.

Access & Pricing

How to Get In: Guest List, Cover, Cabanas

Marquee Dayclub uses a tiered access system. Guest list is the best value for day visitors who want general admission without paying at the door. Here's what to expect across the different event types.

Pool Party Landscape

How Marquee Dayclub Fits the 2026 Pool Party Map

Las Vegas has over a dozen dayclub options in summer 2026. Here is where Marquee fits versus the major competitors across the Strip.

Marquee's clearest advantage in 2026 is the Beatport Fridays consistency — no other Strip dayclub runs a 16-week branded electronic music series with confirmed artists week over week. EBC and Wet Republic have bigger footprints but more variable Friday programming. OMNIA Dayclub's opening in May adds a new deep/tech house option, but Marquee's mid-Strip Cosmopolitan location and 14-year track record give it a logistical and reputational edge for first-time visitors and repeat Las Vegas guests alike.
