About XS Nightclub
Why XS Nightclub Is a Top Choice for Kentucky Derby
XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas has held the title of #1 nightclub in the world multiple times and remains the gold standard for luxury Las Vegas nightlife. Spanning 40,000 square feet across an opulent indoor main room and an outdoor pool patio lined with ~95 VIP tables and 30 two-level cabanas, XS is famous for its iconic gold-bodied female sculptures, more than 10,000 individual custom lights, and an indoor/outdoor DJ booth that makes the transition between spaces seamless. Opened in 2008 at the Encore tower of Wynn Las Vegas, the club was designed by Roger Thomas to feel like stepping into a living jewel box — every surface is gilded in champagne gold and glowing amber. The 2026 residency season is Wynn Nightlife's most ambitious yet, headlined by new additions Calvin Harris and Kaskade alongside returning stars The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, deadmau5, ODESZA, Diplo, Dillon Francis, SOFI TUKKER, Subtronics, Sullivan King, and GRYFFIN. Summer nights at XS feature Nightswim, the iconic after-dark pool party where the outdoor pool deck transforms into an al fresco dance floor under the Vegas sky. Note: XS is scheduled to close for renovation in late summer 2026 and reopen in fall 2026.
