About Soleia
Why Soleia Is a Top Choice for Kentucky Derby
Soleia is the spectacular rooftop dayclub atop The Vanderpump Hotel (formerly The Cromwell), perched 11 stories above Las Vegas Boulevard with panoramic Strip views. The 65,000-square-foot venue — a complete reimagining of the former Drai's Beachclub — features three distinct pools, nine bungalows with shared dipping pools, 13 mezzanine cabanas, and more than 40 daybeds set in a lush tropical environment. Designed by Lisa Vanderpump and interior designer Nick Alain with a romantic botanical aesthetic — rose motifs, moss-green and dusty lilac tones, and layered textures throughout. R&B, EDM, and Top 40 programming from afternoon into evening.
The Vibe
The most design-forward new dayclub of 2026. Lisa Vanderpump has transformed the former Drai's Beachclub into an intimate, opulent rooftop escape with panoramic Strip views. The romantic botanical aesthetic — roses, botanicals, and warm tones — makes it feel like a private Mykonos terrace rather than a Vegas mega-club. Expect a chic, style-conscious crowd who come as much for the atmosphere as the music.
