About LIV at Fontainebleau
Why LIV at Fontainebleau Is a Top Choice for Kentucky Derby
LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas is the Las Vegas outpost of LIV, the legendary Miami nightclub that has defined celebrity nightlife in South Beach for over a decade. Opened with the Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort in December 2023, the 80,000 square foot venue features 62 VIP tables built around a central DJ booth, festival-grade production systems, and a lineup of 2026 residencies that includes Tiësto (in his third consecutive year), Metro Boomin, Matroda, SIDEPIECE, and Dombresky. LIV at Fontainebleau bridges the gap between Miami's upscale open-format nightlife and Las Vegas EDM megaclub culture — the programming skews toward house, electronic, and hip-hop with a distinctly South Beach party aesthetic. The 2,000-person capacity venue operates Friday through Sunday with select Thursday shows, making it a newer but already essential stop on the Strip. Fontainebleau Las Vegas is located at the north end of the Strip near the convention center, giving LIV a less-crowded Strip location that's favored by locals and industry guests who avoid the tourist-heavy central Strip stretch. The resort's arrival has positioned it as the Strip's most complete new luxury hotel and nightlife destination since Cosmopolitan opened.
The Vibe
LIV brings the South Beach mentality to Las Vegas — the crowd is fashion-forward, the production is festival-grade, and the DJ booth is the absolute center of the room with 62 tables arranged around it like a stadium. Tiësto, who makes LIV his primary Vegas home for 2026, draws a particularly devoted crowd that fills the floor. The Fontainebleau itself is stunning — if you're staying here, the walk to the club takes 3 minutes and the afterparty continues in the lobby bar until dawn. More polished and less rowdy than central Strip megaclubs, LIV attracts guests who want the production of XS or OMNIA with a cooler, more curated atmosphere.
