OMNIA EDC Week 2026

No Las Vegas venue enters EDC Week 2026 in a more structurally significant position than OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace. The established nightclub — 75,000 square feet across three rooms, opened in 2014 and consistently ranked among the highest-grossing nightclubs in the world — is running its strongest EDC Week program in recent memory. Simultaneously, the brand-new OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar is opening for the very first time during EDC Week, with Fisher, RUFUS DU SOL, and Martin Garrix headlining its first three days of programming.

The two venues are connected by a bridge that allows guests to move between the dayclub pool deck and the nightclub at Caesars Palace without stepping onto the Las Vegas Strip. This architectural connection — designed as a deliberate day-to-night transit corridor — gives the OMNIA brand a combined footprint of 121,000 square feet at a single mid-Strip address. No other Las Vegas venue name operates this scale of integrated dayclub-to-nightclub programming during EDC Week.

The timing of the dayclub opening is strategic rather than coincidental. Insomniac Events, the company that produces EDC Las Vegas, coordinates with Las Vegas venues throughout EDC Week. Opening a brand-new 46,000-square-foot dayclub at the precise moment the largest electronic music festival in North America is bringing 180,000 attendees to Las Vegas gives OMNIA Dayclub an immediate audience of exactly the demographic it is designed to serve: electronic music fans with high expectations for production quality, artist selection, and venue experience.

For EDC Week visitors planning their schedule, OMNIA offers a complete Tuesday-through-Sunday program that covers both daytime pool party and nighttime club formats. The nightclub runs Thursday through Sunday. The dayclub runs Friday through Sunday for the opening weekend. On any festival day, a guest can attend OMNIA Dayclub from 11:00 AM, close out the pool session at 6:00 PM, use the Caesars Palace property for dinner and recovery, and arrive at OMNIA Nightclub at 10:30 PM — a full EDC Week day without leaving the property.

Thursday May 14 is the pre-festival night at OMNIA, and the booking reflects the gravity of the occasion. Armin van Buurenhas been voted number one DJ in the world by DJ Magazine five times across 2007 through 2012 — a sustained dominance that reflects both his commercial reach and his role as the architect of trance music's global expansion. His weekly A State of Trance radio show reaches over 40 million listeners across 84 countries, making it the most widely broadcast dance music radio program in history. He performed at the closing ceremony of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Van Buuren's OMNIA sets are known for long-form programming that takes the venue through a full emotional arc over several hours — building through progressive trance and euphoric melodic sequences in a way that few DJs working at the mega-club scale can replicate. His Thursday slot during EDC Week draws a devoted international trance audience who plan Las Vegas visits specifically around his OMNIA appearances. The crowd on Thursday is noticeably different from the Friday through Sunday festival crowd — more specialist, more international, more focused on the music specifically.

Thursday is also the most guest-list-accessible night of OMNIA's EDC Week program. Demand is lower than the festival weekend nights. Women typically enter free on the standard OMNIA guest list, and men receive meaningfully reduced cover compared to Friday through Sunday headliner pricing. For EDC Week visitors whose primary musical interest is trance, Thursday is the non-negotiable night at OMNIA — and the correct strategic answer is to begin the festival week there before the logistics of the full EDC festival program take over the schedule.

Friday May 15 is the most significant day in OMNIA's history as a brand: the dayclub opens for its first day of programming with Fisher, and Steve Aoki headlines the nightclub the same evening. EDC Las Vegas 2026 opens the following day at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday May 16. May 15 is the highest-anticipation pre-festival night of the EDC Week calendar — and the most consequential single day in OMNIA's history as a brand.

Fisher's opening set at OMNIA Dayclub is appropriate given his relationship with Caesars Palace and the OMNIA brand. His 2018 EDC Las Vegas kineticFIELD appearance with Chris Lake is widely credited as the moment tech house arrived at American festival culture's mainstream level. Las Vegas officially declared a FISHER Day in recognition of his contribution to the city's nightlife economy. As the inaugural headliner of OMNIA's new dayclub, his rolling, hypnotic tech house sound defines what the venue will become — the first impressions of a new building shaped by one of the genre's most in-demand artists.

At night, Steve Aoki delivers what his OMNIA residency consistently delivers: high-energy EDM and electro house performance with theatrical crowd interaction that plays to the 75,000 square feet of the nightclub's full scale. Aoki's Dim Mak Records background — the label that introduced The Bloody Beetroots and Afrojack — gives him a catalog that goes beyond his mainstream production credits and into the label's deeper electronic music history. His pre-festival Friday slot at OMNIA is the nightclub counterpoint to Fisher's opening act across the bridge during the day.

Saturday May 16 — EDC Night 2 — brings the highest-demand combination in OMNIA's full EDC Week program. RUFUS DU SOL performs a DJ set at OMNIA Dayclub from 11:00 AM. Chris Lake headlines OMNIA Nightclub from 10:30 PM. EDC Las Vegas runs at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for its second night.

RUFUS DU SOL's Saturday appearance is the premium dayclub programming moment of the EDC Week opening weekend. The Grammy-winning Australian trio — Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George, and James Hunt — performs a DJ set rather than their full live instrument show. Their catalog of Innerbloom, Underwater, Alive, and Surrender represents some of the most emotionally resonant electronic music of the past decade, and their ability to translate that catalog into a pool party DJ format makes Saturday the rare dayclub performance where the artist's name is a genuine cultural event rather than a booking decision.

At night, Chris Lake delivers the tech house performance that makes EDC Saturday at OMNIA a defining moment of the full week. Lake's Black Book Records catalog, the Anti Up project with Chris Lorenzo, and the Under Construction collaboration with Fisher create one of the deepest and most musically credible tech house bodies of work of any DJ currently active on the Las Vegas Strip. His 2023 and 2024 Coachella Mojave Stage closings — back-to-back years as the most commercially significant music festival's underground stage headliner — represent the peak of his crossover from specialist artist to mainstream festival credibility. EDC Saturday at OMNIA with Chris Lake is the correct choice for guests whose EDC Week priority is the highest-quality tech house nightclub experience available on the Strip.

Sunday May 17 is the final day of EDC Las Vegas and the closing day of OMNIA Dayclub's grand opening weekend. Martin Garrix and Justin Mylo headline the dayclub. DESEO Latin Sundays takes the nightclub.

Martin Garrix closed OMNIA Dayclub's three-day opening with the artist whose global profile most closely mirrors the ambition of the venue itself. Garrix broke globally at 17 when Animals topped the Beatport chart in 2013 — an anthem that became one of the defining big-room EDM records of the decade. He performed at the closing ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and founded STMPD RCRDS as a home for his productions and emerging artists. His Las Vegas residencies at OMNIA Nightclub and OMNIA Dayclub make him the artist who spans both venues, and his Sunday dayclub closing set on the EDC festival's final day functions as the conclusion of a three-day narrative arc that began with Fisher on Friday.

At night, DESEO Latin Sundays brings a distinct programming shift to the closing festival night at OMNIA Nightclub. The Latin music program — reggaeton, salsa, latin pop, and latin-crossover DJ sets — operates at lower cover charges than the Thursday through Saturday headliner nights and represents the most accessible entry point into the OMNIA Nightclub experience during EDC Week. For guests who want to experience the full OMNIA space on a budget-conscious night, or who prefer Latin music as a closing-night alternative to electronic programming, Sunday DESEO is the correct choice.

OMNIA Nightclub and OMNIA Dayclub operate independent admission systems during EDC Week, and the guest list dynamics differ significantly between the two. The dayclub opening weekend operates as a ticketed event — standard season guest list does not apply to Fisher, RUFUS DU SOL, and Martin Garrix opening weekend shows. Advance tickets through Tao Group Hospitality or the official EDC Week ticketing partner are the correct approach for all three dayclub opening weekend days. For subsequent dayclub dates later in the season, standard guest list programming will apply.

For the nightclub: Thursday Armin van Buuren is the best guest list night of the EDC Week program. Women typically free, men at reduced cover ($40 to $60 range). Genuine guest list availability with advance registration through NoCoverVegas. Friday Steve Aoki: reasonable guest list access, women free, men reduced, closes at midnight. Saturday Chris Lake is the highest-demand nightclub night — guest list availability is limited, advance registration is required, and walk-up on EDC Saturday without a table reservation is not viable. Sunday DESEO Latin Sundays is the most accessible nightclub night with the strongest guest list availability of the four nights.

Caesars Palace is the optimal base for guests whose EDC Week itinerary centers on OMNIA. Staying on property eliminates all rideshare logistics for both the dayclub and the nightclub — walk from most tower rooms to either venue in five to ten minutes. Caesars operates multiple tower options across a range of price tiers, from the main Julius Tower to the premium Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace and the Augustus Tower.

The adjacent properties in the mid-Strip corridor provide easy access without the on-property premium. Paris Las Vegas, Bally's, and Flamingo are within a ten-minute walk of OMNIA on the same side of the Strip. The Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, and Aria are across the boulevard — five to eight minute rideshare, manageable even on EDC festival nights if you time departure before the Speedway crowd arrives at 1:00 AM.

EDC Las Vegas 2026runs May 16–18 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for its 30th anniversary edition with over 240 artists. EDC Week 2026 spans Strip venues from Wednesday May 13 through Monday May 18. OMNIA's nightclub program runs Thursday through Sunday. The dayclub grand opening runs Friday through Sunday, overlapping the full three-day festival period.

What distinguishes OMNIA from all other EDC Week venues is the simultaneous grand opening of a major new venue during the highest-attended week of the Las Vegas calendar. No other EDC Week venue is launching a 46,000-square-foot dayclub for the first time. Fisher, RUFUS DU SOL, and Martin Garrix as the opening weekend headliners represent the most significant artist roster for any new venue launch in recent Las Vegas history. For EDC Week visitors who want to be present for a genuine moment in Las Vegas nightlife development, OMNIA Dayclub's opening weekend is the correct choice.
