Dayclub VIP Guide
Pool Party Bottle Service Las Vegas
Daybed minimums, cabana tiers, bungalow pricing, and the per-person math that proves dayclub VIP is a better deal than nightclubs. Your complete 2026 pricing guide.
Pool Party Bottle Service Is Not What You Think
Forget everything you know about nightclub bottle service. Dayclub VIP is an entirely different product. At a nightclub, you are buying a small table in a dark room with a bottle and some mixers. At a dayclub, you are buying real estate — a daybed with lounge chairs in the sun, a cabana with shade and a private fan, or a bungalow with its own plunge pool and a living room setup. The bottle minimum is almost secondary to the physical space you are reserving. That distinction matters because dayclubs operate for five to seven hours in 100-degree heat. Your group needs shade, cold water, and a home base to rotate between the pool and your reserved area. General admission at a pool party means standing in direct sunlight on a concrete deck with nowhere to sit, fighting for a $15 drink at a packed bar. Bottle service at a dayclub is less of a luxury flex and more of a practical decision. The math changes when you realize that the space, the shade, the server bringing you ice water, and the six-hour duration make dayclub bottle service a genuinely better deal per hour than its nightclub equivalent.
The Dayclub Tier System: Daybeds, Cabanas, and Bungalows
Every Vegas dayclub offers at least three tiers of VIP, and understanding the differences saves you from overspending or underspending. Daybeds are the entry level — a padded lounge section poolside with seating for 4 to 6 people, a small table for your bottles, and no shade. Daybed minimums range from $500 at venues like Daylight Beach Club to $1,500 at Encore Beach Club on a Saturday. You get sun exposure, proximity to the pool, and bottle service, but you are still in the open. Cabanas are the middle tier and the sweet spot for most groups. A cabana is a semi-enclosed structure with a roof or canopy, seating for 8 to 12, a ceiling fan or misting system, a mini-fridge, a TV, and a dedicated server. Cabana minimums run $1,500 to $3,000 at most venues and up to $5,000 at EBC on peak weekends. You get real shade, real privacy, and a space that feels like an outdoor VIP suite. Bungalows are the top tier, available only at venues like Encore Beach Club and LIV Beach. A bungalow is essentially a private poolside apartment with its own plunge pool, full living room furniture, a bathroom, air conditioning, and capacity for 12 to 20 people. Bungalow minimums start at $5,000 and can exceed $15,000 during peak season or for special events. This is for groups that want the most private, comfortable experience possible.
What Is Included with Your Bottle Service Minimum
When you book a daybed, cabana, or bungalow, the minimum is a spending requirement — not a flat fee. You spend that amount on bottles, and everything above the minimum gets charged normally. A standard bottle of vodka at a dayclub runs $500 to $650 depending on the brand and venue. Grey Goose and Belvedere sit at the lower end, while Clase Azul tequila and Dom Perignon push well above $1,000. With every bottle you get mixers — cranberry, orange juice, Red Bull, soda, tonic — along with ice, cups, and a fruit platter. Your server brings water bottles continuously, which at a dayclub is not a courtesy but a necessity. Cabanas and bungalows include additional perks: a stocked mini-fridge with water and soft drinks, sunscreen, a safe for valuables, and sometimes a Bluetooth speaker. At Encore Beach Club, bungalows include a private plunge pool, bathrobes, and access to a private entrance. One thing not included at any tier: food. Dayclubs have separate food menus, and those charges are on top of your bottle minimum. Plan accordingly if your group wants to eat, because dayclub food is $15 to $30 per plate and it adds up fast with a large party.
The Sunscreen-and-Bottles Problem: Why You Drink Faster Poolside
Here is something nobody warns you about until you are three bottles deep at 2:00 PM and wondering where the vodka went. Alcohol consumption at dayclubs is dramatically faster than at nightclubs, and it is entirely because of the environment. In 100-degree heat, your body craves cold liquid. Your mixed drinks disappear twice as fast because they are refreshing and you are hot. The pool water evaporates your buzz faster than a climate-controlled nightclub, so you pour heavier to compensate. Your group is drinking from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM — that is a six-hour window versus the three or four hours most people spend at a nightclub. And here is the sneaky part: vodka-based drinks are the poolside default. Nobody orders whiskey neat by the pool. Everyone wants vodka soda, vodka cranberry, or champagne — light, cold, easy to drink fast. A bottle of vodka that lasts a group of 8 for two hours at a nightclub might last 90 minutes at a dayclub. Budget accordingly. If your nightclub table normally does two bottles for your group, plan for three at the dayclub. The extra $500 to $600 is the cost of six hours of desert drinking versus four hours of air-conditioned sipping.
Venue-by-Venue Bottle Service Pricing Breakdown
Encore Beach Club at Wynn is the most expensive dayclub on the Strip. Daybed minimums start at $1,000 on weekdays and $1,500 on weekends. Cabanas run $2,000 to $5,000 depending on location and day. Bungalows start at $5,000 and go to $15,000 for the Grand Bungalow during peak season. You are paying for the Wynn pedigree, the best DJ lineup, and the largest venue at 60,000 square feet. Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan offers the best balance of price and experience. Daybeds start at $500 weekdays and $800 to $1,500 weekends. Cabanas range from $1,500 to $3,000. The multi-tier layout means you can find a price point that works, and the Strip views from the upper deck cabanas are unmatched. Tao Beach at The Venetian runs daybeds from $500 to $1,200 and cabanas from $1,500 to $2,500. The smaller venue means a more intimate experience, and the food quality surpasses every other dayclub. LIV Beach at Fontainebleau prices daybeds from $750 and cabanas from $2,000. As a newer venue, LIV Beach is still establishing itself, which sometimes means more generous comp offers and flexible minimums. Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World starts daybeds at $500 and cabanas at $1,500, with the bonus that it connects directly to Zouk Nightclub for day-to-night transitions. Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay is the value play: daybeds from $400 on weekdays and cabanas from $1,200. The 11-acre beach setting gives you more space per dollar than any venue on the Strip.
The Per-Person Math: Why Dayclub Bottle Service Is a Better Deal
Let us run the numbers that most people never calculate before they book. Take a group of 8 at Marquee Dayclub on a Saturday. A cabana minimum is $1,500. Split evenly, that is $187.50 per person before tax and gratuity. Tax is roughly 8.375 percent and the standard gratuity on bottle service is 18 to 20 percent, so your per-person total comes to approximately $250 to $260 all in. For that $260, each person gets: entry to the venue (skipping the $40 to $60 general admission cover), six hours of pool time from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, shade from the cabana, a dedicated server bringing drinks and water all day, a comfortable seating area, bottles split among the group, a mini-fridge, and a ceiling fan. Compare that to Marquee Nightclub on the same Saturday. A comparable table minimum is $2,500 to $3,000. Split 8 ways with tax and tip, you are at $400 to $500 per person for roughly four hours from 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM. You get a table in a dark room, bottles, a server, and loud music. No pool, no sun, no shade, and half the time. Hour for hour, the dayclub cabana costs roughly $43 per person per hour versus $100 to $125 per person per hour at the nightclub. The dayclub is objectively more bang for your buck.
Which Bottles Work Best Poolside
Poolside drinking has its own unwritten rules, and choosing the right bottles maximizes your experience and your budget. Vodka is king at dayclubs — it mixes with everything, it is refreshing when cold, and it pairs perfectly with the poolside go-to mixers like cranberry, soda water, and Red Bull. Grey Goose and Belvedere are the standard picks at $500 to $600 per bottle, while Ciroc and Ketel One are slightly less common but available at most venues. Champagne and rose are the second most popular choice, especially for celebrations and photo-worthy bottle presentations. Moet, Veuve Clicquot, and Dom Perignon are the usual suspects, ranging from $350 for Moet to $800-plus for Dom. Champagne does not last as long in the heat — warm champagne is nobody's friend — so drink it quickly or keep it buried in ice. Tequila has surged in dayclub popularity, especially Casamigos and Clase Azul, which pair well with fresh lime and grapefruit mixers that taste incredible in the heat. Whiskey and cognac are the odd ones out at pool parties. Dark spirits in direct sunlight feel heavy and do not mix as refreshingly. You will occasionally see a bottle of Hennessy at a daybed, but it is the exception. If your group is a whiskey crowd, save those bottles for the nightclub and go vodka or tequila at the dayclub.
How to Book and What to Ask For
Booking dayclub bottle service through a promoter or concierge service like ours almost always gets you a better deal than booking directly through the venue. We negotiate reduced minimums, better table locations, and sometimes complimentary upgrades — especially midweek or during the early and late parts of pool season. When booking, ask these questions: What is the exact minimum spend, and does it include tax and gratuity or are those added on top? Where is the daybed or cabana located — poolside, upper deck, near the DJ, or in a quieter corner? What time does the reservation start, and is there a time limit? How many people does the reservation include, and what is the charge for additional guests beyond that number? Can you get a pool float or lily pad spot included? Is there a day-to-night package if you want to continue at the nightclub? Lock down these details in writing before you arrive. Dayclub hosts are helpful, but verbal promises at a pool party tend to evaporate faster than the ice in your bucket.

Local Knowledge
Bottle Service Insider Tips
Book Through a Promoter, Not the Venue
Venues price bottle service at rack rate on their website. Promoters and concierge services negotiate reduced minimums, better locations, and sometimes complimentary upgrades. Midweek bookings and early-season dates offer the most room for negotiation. We regularly get 20 to 30 percent reductions on minimums for groups booking through us.
Budget for the Hidden Costs
Your bottle minimum does not include tax (8.4 percent) or gratuity (18 to 20 percent). A $1,500 cabana minimum becomes roughly $1,950 after tax and a 20 percent tip. Some venues also charge an additional venue fee or service charge. Get the all-in number in writing before your day starts so your group splits the real total, not a surprise.
Order Water Bottles on the First Round
Ask your server to bring a case of water with your first bottle delivery. Cabanas include water in the mini-fridge, but daybed reservations do not. Water bottles at a dayclub cost $8 to $12 each, but dehydration in 110-degree heat will end your pool party faster than running out of vodka. Alternate one water for every two drinks.
Stagger Your Bottle Orders
Do not order all your bottles at once. The ice melts fast, and warm poolside bottles are unpleasant. Order one bottle to start, let your server know you will need another in about 90 minutes, and keep it chilled until you need it. Most servers appreciate the pacing because they can time the sparkler presentations for maximum effect.
Common Questions
Pool Party Bottle Service FAQ
How much does pool party bottle service cost in Las Vegas?
Dayclub bottle service starts at $400 to $500 for a weekday daybed at venues like Daylight Beach Club and goes up to $15,000 for a Grand Bungalow at Encore Beach Club on a peak Saturday. The most common booking is a cabana for 8 to 12 people, which runs $1,500 to $3,000 at mid-tier venues. Individual bottles of vodka cost $500 to $650 at most dayclubs. Tax adds roughly 8.4 percent, and standard gratuity is 18 to 20 percent on top of your bottle spend.
What is the difference between a daybed, cabana, and bungalow?
A daybed is an open-air padded lounge area poolside that seats 4 to 6 people with no shade. A cabana is a semi-enclosed structure with a roof, ceiling fan or misting system, seating for 8 to 12, a mini-fridge, and a dedicated server. A bungalow is essentially a private poolside suite with its own plunge pool, air conditioning, a bathroom, full furniture, and room for 12 to 20 people. Pricing increases accordingly — daybeds are the most affordable, bungalows the most premium.
Is dayclub bottle service worth it compared to nightclub bottle service?
In terms of value per hour, dayclub bottle service is significantly cheaper. A $1,500 cabana at Marquee Dayclub gets you six hours of pool time, shade, bottles, and a server for roughly $43 per person per hour in a group of 8. A comparable nightclub table at $2,500 to $3,000 gets you about four hours, costing $100 to $125 per person per hour. Dayclubs also include the outdoor pool experience, sun, and a more social atmosphere that you simply cannot get in a dark nightclub.
What bottles should I order at a pool party?
Vodka is the overwhelming favorite at dayclubs because it mixes well with refreshing poolside drinks like vodka soda and vodka cranberry. Grey Goose and Belvedere are the standard picks at $500 to $600 per bottle. Champagne is popular for celebrations — Moet at $350 or Veuve Clicquot around $500. Tequila, especially Casamigos and Clase Azul, has surged in popularity for its light, citrusy mixing options. Avoid dark spirits like whiskey and cognac poolside — they feel heavy in the heat and do not mix as refreshingly.
How many bottles do I need for my group at a dayclub?
Plan for one bottle per 4 to 5 people for a six-hour pool party. A group of 8 should budget for 2 bottles at minimum, though 3 is realistic since you drink faster in the heat. Your minimum spend determines how many bottles you order, and most cabana minimums equate to 2 to 3 bottles of premium vodka. If your minimum is $1,500 and a bottle of Grey Goose is $550, you are looking at roughly 2.5 bottles before tax and gratuity, which works for a group of 8 to 10.
Can I book bottle service at a dayclub for the same night at a nightclub?
Yes, several venues offer day-to-night packages. Marquee Dayclub connects to Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan, and booking both can get you a reduced minimum on one of the two. Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World transitions directly into Zouk Nightclub. Encore Beach Club does not have a formal day-to-night program but Wynn operates EBC at Night and XS, so your VIP host can often coordinate a package. We help negotiate these combo deals regularly.
Do I still pay cover if I have bottle service at a dayclub?
No. Bottle service at any dayclub includes entry for all guests on the reservation. This is actually one of the hidden value points of booking VIP — you skip the general admission line and the $30 to $75 cover charge. With a group of 8, that alone saves you $240 to $600 in cover fees. You also get a dedicated entrance, which on a packed Saturday afternoon can save you 30 to 60 minutes of waiting in line.
