About the Property
About Cosmopolitan
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas houses Marquee Nightclub, a venue that fundamentally changed how Las Vegas thought about the nightclub experience when it opened in 2010 — and which completed a dramatic 2026 renovation that reinstated its position as the city's most technically advanced club interior. The renovation introduced a new 1.5-ton monolith LED screen as the main room's visual anchor, paired with an upgraded lighting and laser rig delivering festival-calibre production indoors. Marquee Nightclub ranks #84 in DJMag's Top 100 Clubs 2026 — the highest-ranked Las Vegas club on the global list. Marquee was the first major Las Vegas club to pioneer the day-to-night concept under a single roof: the same stage, DJ booth infrastructure, and production systems that power the nightclub after 10 PM become the center of Marquee Dayclub from noon to 7 PM. The multi-level layout spans the main dance floor, mezzanine lounges, outdoor terraces with Strip views, and the famous rooftop Bungalow and Library sections, creating six distinct atmospheres under one club identity. The programming philosophy favors hip-hop alongside EDM, which has historically differentiated Marquee from OMNIA and XS's more EDM-centric programming and attracts a slightly more mixed-genre crowd on most nights.
Marquee Dayclub operates on the rooftop above the nightclub and debuted a revitalized 22,000 sq ft outdoor experience in Spring 2026, featuring a dramatically redefined stage and an all-new sound system built for the world's top DJ talent. The newly configured rooftop features a main pool stage, multiple pool areas, cabana sections, and the iconic Library — an air-conditioned room above the pool that provides a refined retreat from the outdoor Las Vegas sun while maintaining full access to the DJ programming below. Pool season runs from approximately Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend with DJ headliners Thursday through Sunday. The Cosmopolitan's three-level pool complex includes Marquee's dayclub rooftop alongside the Boulevard Pool and the Bamboo Pool, giving hotel guests both the programmed dayclub experience and quieter private pool options on the same property.
The Cosmopolitan sits at the geographic center of the Las Vegas Strip's most concentrated nightlife corridor. Directly to the north via the Cosmopolitan-Vanderpump block is The Vanderpump Hotel (formerly The Cromwell), home to Drai's After Hours — the premier late-night option open after standard 4 AM nightclub closings. Five minutes north sits Caesars Palace with OMNIA Nightclub and OMNIA Dayclub. Eight minutes south is MGM Grand with Hakkasan and Palm Tree Beach Club. Three minutes north is Bellagio, with its own walkable access to the entire mid-Strip cluster. This central position makes The Cosmopolitan simultaneously one of the best home bases for guests who want on-property nightlife at Marquee and one of the best launch points for exploring multiple Strip venues across a multi-night stay.
The Cosmopolitan is a nightlife destination in its own right.

The hotel's central Strip location puts OMNIA, Drai's After Hours, and Hakkasan all within a 10-minute walk. As a luxury destination where the hotel experience rivals the nightlife itself, Cosmopolitan attracts a crowd that matches its caliber — guests who are here for the full Las Vegas experience, not just a room to sleep in. The 5-star rating is earned through a combination of service, amenities, and a location that puts world-class nightlife at your doorstep.
Cosmopolitan sits in a prime position for nightlife. Marquee Nightclub is right inside the property, and clubs like OMNIA Nightclub (5 min walk) and Drai's After Hours (5 min walk) are just a short trip away. This combination of on-property and nearby venues gives Cosmopolitan guests more nightlife options per square mile than almost any other hotel on the Strip. Cosmopolitan is especially popular with couples looking for a romantic backdrop with access to electric nightlife, and partygoers who want to be as close to the action as possible.
The dining scene at Cosmopolitan deserves its own spotlight. Restaurants like Scarpetta, STK, Beauty & Essex, and Momofuku offer everything from celebrity chef tasting menus to quick pre-club bites, making it easy to build the perfect lead-in to your night out. The 100,000 sq ft casino floor at Cosmopolitan is a destination in its own right — whether you are warming up for the club at the blackjack tables or capping off the night with a few spins after last call. Cosmopolitan is Home to Marquee Dayclub, giving guests direct access to one of the most sought-after daytime experiences in Las Vegas.
One thing to budget for: Cosmopolitan charges a $45/night resort fee on top of the nightly room rate. This is standard across the Strip, but worth knowing when you are calculating total trip costs. The property is 15 min ride from the Las Vegas Convention Center, which makes it a practical base for work-hard-play-hard convention trips.

Weekly Calendar
Best Nights of the Week from Cosmopolitan
Monday & Tuesday
Most major nightclubs near Cosmopolitan are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Use these nights to explore Cosmopolitan's other offerings — dinner at STK or Beauty & Essex, a spa session to recover from the weekend, or the 100,000 sq ft casino floor where Monday tables are less crowded with better dealer attention and lower minimums. Marquee Nightclub at Cosmopolitan typically follows the industry-standard dark nights on Monday and Tuesday. Some Strip lounges and bars stay open nightly for guests who still want a drink out.
Wednesday & Thursday
Wednesday marks the start of the nightlife week in Las Vegas, and several clubs near Cosmopolitan begin their programming. Thursday is when things pick up significantly — many venues treat it as the first premium night with strong DJ lineups and an enthusiastic crowd. From Cosmopolitan, OMNIA Nightclub is just 5 min walk away and typically opens on Thursday nights with resident DJs and a lively atmosphere. Guest list entry on these nights is easy to secure and lines are significantly shorter than the weekend.
Friday & Saturday
These are the peak nights at every Las Vegas nightclub accessible from Cosmopolitan. Headliner DJs perform, production is at maximum capacity, and the energy is unmatched.

Expect long general admission lines, higher cover charges without a guest list, and a packed dance floor. Sign up for the NoCoverVegas guest list early — spots fill fast on these nights.
Sunday

Sunday is an underrated night for visitors who want a premium experience with smaller crowds and shorter lines.
VIP Advice
Nightlife Tips for Cosmopolitan Guests
01
Use the Guest List Every Night
The NoCoverVegas guest list saves you $40-75 per person at every nightclub near Cosmopolitan. For a group of four, that is up to $300 saved in a single night — money better spent on drinks, dining, or experiences inside the venue.
02
Arrive Before 11:30 PM
Guest list cutoff at most clubs is 12:30 AM, but the line starts building well before that. Leaving Cosmopolitan by 10:30 PM puts you at the venue with plenty of time to get through the door comfortably. Late arrivals risk being turned away even with a confirmed guest list spot.
03
Keep Your Group Balanced
Las Vegas nightclubs require an even or better gender ratio for guest list entry. If your group from Cosmopolitan is mostly men, consider splitting into smaller mixed groups or booking a bottle service table for guaranteed entry regardless of ratio.
04
Dress Code is Non-Negotiable
Every nightclub enforces an upscale dress code without exception. Leave the sneakers, athletic wear, and casual sandals in your room at Cosmopolitan. Men need collared shirts and dress shoes. Women should go with upscale nightlife attire. When in doubt, overdress — you will never be turned away for looking too good.
05
Budget for Drinks Inside
Cocktails inside nightclubs near Cosmopolitan run $18-30 each. Pre-game atCosmopolitan's casino floor bars where drinks cost $4-8 less per cocktail. Cosmopolitan's bars set a premium tone that eases the transition to nightclub pricing. Tip your bartender $2-5 on the first drink — they will prioritize you all night. Factor in Cosmopolitan's $45/night resort fee when planning total trip costs.
06
Plan Your Return Trip
Rideshare surge pricing from nightclubs back to Cosmopolitan peaks between 2:00 and 3:00 AM on weekends. Since Marquee Nightclub is inside Cosmopolitan, the return trip is an elevator ride — the biggest advantage of an on-property club. The NoCoverVegas ride includes the ride back from Sapphire Las Vegas and other gentlemen's clubs — no surge pricing applies. For rideshares, wait until 3:30 AM when surge pricing drops near Cosmopolitan.
Insider Knowledge
Insider Tips for Cosmopolitan
The Chandelier Bar's third level serves a specialty cocktail called the Verbena — a tequila and lime drink with a szechuan button that creates a tingling sensation in your mouth. It is the most discussed cocktail at The Cosmopolitan and a genuine pre-Marquee experience worth building into the evening. Reserve a table on the third level an hour before Marquee opens and use it as the group staging point before walking down to the club.
Marquee's multi-level layout means your experience varies dramatically based on where you position yourself. The main floor has the highest energy and the most crowd density. The mezzanine is better for groups who want to see the DJ and production without being in the center of the floor. The outdoor terrace offers Strip views and significant crowd relief. Navigate between levels as the night progresses — starting on the terrace when the venue is filling up and moving to the main floor after midnight when the DJ reaches peak programming.
Marquee Dayclub's Library section is air-conditioned and positioned with windows overlooking the main pool stage. During August when outdoor temperatures reach 105°F, the Library provides one of the few places at any Las Vegas dayclub where you can experience the full production in physical comfort. Book a Library table rather than an outdoor cabana if your group has any heat sensitivity — the savings on heat exhaustion alone justifies the slightly different viewing angle.
Drai's After Hours at The Vanderpump Hotel (three minutes north of The Cosmopolitan) stays open until approximately 10 AM or later on peak nights. On Saturdays after Marquee closes at 4 AM, a significant portion of the Marquee crowd moves to Drai's to continue. This after-hours continuation is completely accessible on foot from The Cosmopolitan, making it the cleanest late-night continuation available on the Strip — no transportation, no re-planning, just a short walk to a third venue.
For groups doing a full day-to-night Cosmopolitan weekend, the optimal sequence is: Marquee Dayclub noon to 6 PM, dinner at STK or Scarpetta from 7 PM to 9:30 PM, Chandelier Bar from 10 PM to 11:30 PM, then Marquee Nightclub from midnight. This full-day sequence runs entirely on The Cosmopolitan property without transportation at any point and maximizes the use of the NoCoverVegas guest list at both Marquee Dayclub and Marquee Nightclub.
Guest List Advice
Guest List Tips from Cosmopolitan
Marquee Nightclub guest list access through NoCoverVegas covers free entry for both men and women. The guest list operates most nights Thursday through Saturday, with the cutoff typically between 12:30 AM and 1 AM depending on night and programming. Arrive by midnight on Saturdays and by 11:30 PM on holiday weekends or any night featuring a globally recognized headliner. The dedicated guest list entry lane at Marquee moves faster than walk-up on most nights — arriving in the recommended window typically means under 15 minutes in entry queues. Groups with men should confirm their group composition when registering, as the standard ratio requirement applies. Text 725-999-9293 the afternoon of your visit to confirm your names are added.
Marquee Dayclub guest list reservations should be made at least the day before your planned pool visit. The dayclub operates Thursday through Sunday during pool season and sells out more quickly than the nightclub on headliner weekends. Saturday dayclub guest list spots in particular should be booked 2-3 days ahead during July and August peak. Arrive between noon and 1 PM for the full afternoon session — arriving after 3 PM means missing a significant portion of the DJ set. The free limo service available through NoCoverVegas from off-Strip hotels to The Cosmopolitan is available for both the dayclub afternoon visits and the nightclub evening visits, covering both transportation and entry costs for the full day-to-night Marquee experience.
Location & Access
Cosmopolitan's Nightlife Location Guide
The Cosmopolitan sits between Bellagio (three minutes north) and ARIA (five minutes south) on the central Las Vegas Strip, placing it at the highest-density nightlife intersection on Las Vegas Boulevard. The hotel's address on the south side of the Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard intersection means the Vanderpump-Cosmopolitan block concentrates Drai's After Hours, Marquee Nightclub, and OMNIA Nightclub within a ten-minute walk — a cluster of three of the Strip's premier nightclubs accessible without transportation, rideshare, or parking logistics. This pedestrian-accessible nightlife density is matched only by The Venetian's proximity to Tao and Zouk at the other end of the Strip.
For guests arriving by rideshare or taxi, The Cosmopolitan drops off on the north side of the property at the Nobu entrance with quick access to the casino floor and elevator bank. The ARIA pedestrian walkway connects through to MGM Grand and The Park, making the southern Strip venues accessible on foot without touching Las Vegas Boulevard. Strip clubs from The Cosmopolitan follow the same free limo model available at all Strip hotels — Sapphire Las Vegas and Crazy Horse III both offer complimentary limo pickup through NoCoverVegas, with typical round-trip rideshare costs from The Cosmopolitan running $25-40 during peak hours that the free limo service eliminates entirely.
Dress Code Guide
What to Wear Going Out from Cosmopolitan
Guests leaving Cosmopolitan for nightlife are expected to match the 5-star standard of the property. Getting turned away at the door because of your outfit is one of the most common mistakes visitors make. Whether you are heading to Marquee Nightclub right inside Cosmopolitan or any other venue, the dress code standards are consistent across the board.
For men heading out from Cosmopolitan, a collared button-down shirt or a fitted dress shirt is the safest choice. Dark jeans in good condition pass at Marquee Nightclub, and dress slacks are always welcome. Dress shoes or clean leather boots are required — no sneakers, no matter how expensive. Avoid athletic wear, shorts, tank tops, baseball caps, and any clothing with excessive logos or graphics.
For women, the dress code is more flexible but still upscale. Cocktail dresses, stylish jumpsuits, and fashionable separates all work well. Heels are the norm but not required — stylish flats or dressy sandals are accepted at most venues. Avoid overly casual items like flip-flops, gym wear, or ripped clothing. For pool parties at Marquee Dayclub, the dress code switches to swimwear — bring a cover-up for walking through Cosmopolitan to the pool entrance.
Accepted
- Collared shirts, dress shirts, blazers
- Dark jeans, dress pants, chinos
- Dress shoes, leather boots, loafers
- Cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, heels
Not Accepted
- Sneakers, athletic shoes, sandals
- Shorts, athletic wear, jerseys
- Baseball caps, beanies, hats
- Ripped jeans, graphic tees, tank tops
Nightlife Edge
Why Cosmopolitan Is Built for Nightlife
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas delivers the polish and service tier that serious nightlife visitors prioritize. The lobby bar serves as a natural pre-game spot where your group can gather and settle into the Vegas rhythm before heading to the club. Housekeeping runs late-night turndown service so the room is fresh when you stumble back at three in the morning, and the in-room dining menu stays active through the early hours for anyone who needs a post-club meal without leaving the building.
A five-star rating in Las Vegas means the property invests in every touchpoint that affects your nightlife experience, even the ones you do not think about. The valet queue moves efficiently at two in the morning, the elevator banks are designed to handle peak late-night traffic without ten-minute waits, and the security team knows the difference between a group heading to the club and a group causing a disturbance. These operational details, invisible when they work, become painfully obvious at lesser properties where post-club logistics feel like an afterthought.
Planted in the center of the Strip, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas occupies the most walkable position for nightlife in the entire city. Marquee, Tao, Omnia, and Drai's are all reachable on foot without waiting for a rideshare, which eliminates the single biggest friction point of a Vegas night out — transportation. The mid-Strip concentration of restaurants also means your pre-club dinner options span every cuisine and price point within a ten-minute radius, and the pedestrian bridges connecting the major resorts let you bar-hop between properties without crossing a single intersection.
Having Marquee Nightclub and The Chandelier Bar inside the property transforms the nightlife logistics entirely. Your group can pregame in the room, take the elevator down, walk through the casino floor, and be past the velvet rope in under ten minutes — no cover charge with the NoCoverVegas guest list, no rideshare coordination, and no standing in the cold waiting for a car that keeps canceling. The on-property advantage also means you can check the vibe, grab a drink, and head back to the room to regroup without committing your entire night to one venue. That flexibility is impossible when the club is a twenty-minute ride away.
Signature Experiences
What Makes Cosmopolitan Unique
Marquee Saturday Night — The venue reaches peak atmosphere between midnight and 2:30 AM when a sold-out crowd fills all levels simultaneously. The main dance floor packs against the 40-foot LED DJ booth while mezzanine sections fill with groups who want elevated sightlines. The outdoor terrace provides cool air and Strip views for guests who want the music without the full main-floor intensity. The Bungalow rooftop section above the main room offers a private experience overlooking everything. Guest list access through NoCoverVegas covers free entry for men and women before the cutoff, making it the most cost-efficient way to experience Marquee on its highest-energy night.
Marquee Dayclub Pool Party — Programming runs from noon to approximately 7 PM with DJ headliners booked for Saturday and Sunday during peak summer months. General admission through the NoCoverVegas guest list covers entry to the main pool areas and standing areas around the stage. The Library — Marquee's signature air-conditioned indoor section overlooking the pool — provides a premium alternative to the outdoor sun exposure, making it the preferred spot for groups who want both the music and comfort. Cabana and bungalow reservations at the dayclub include dedicated attendants and bottle service minimums, and the tiered views from upper-level sections give reserved sections the best overall perspective of the production. Marquee Dayclub is one of the few Vegas dayclubs that books equivalent headliner talent to its own nightclub rather than treating the pool as a secondary venue.
The Chandelier Bar Pre-Nightclub Circuit — The Cosmopolitan's signature cocktail destination is the Chandelier Bar, a three-story bar suspended inside 2 million crystal beads that cascades through the center of the hotel lobby. The three levels — ground floor for cocktails, second floor for a more intimate atmosphere, and third floor for specialty cocktails — serve as the standard pre-Marquee gathering point for groups staying at The Cosmopolitan. The walk from any Chandelier Bar level to the Marquee entrance takes under three minutes through the hotel, making the evening arc of cocktails-casino-club completely self-contained without ever requiring outdoor access. This seamless indoor circuit from hotel room to casino to Chandelier Bar to Marquee is the defining Cosmopolitan evening sequence.
Cross-Venue Access Hub — On nights when specific programming at OMNIA, Drai's After Hours, or Hakkasan is more compelling than the Marquee lineup, Cosmopolitan guests can walk to all three venues in under 10 minutes. OMNIA at Caesars is 5 minutes north. Drai's After Hours is 3 minutes north at The Vanderpump Hotel — the only after-hours nightclub on the Strip that stays open after standard 4 AM closing times. Hakkasan at MGM Grand is 8 minutes south. The NoCoverVegas guest list covers all four venues, meaning a multi-night Cosmopolitan stay can include Marquee Friday, OMNIA Saturday, and Drai's After Hours Sunday without paying cover charges at any stop.

For venues at the north or south ends of the Strip, Uber and Lyft pickup from The Cosmopolitan's main entrance is efficient, and the NoCoverVegas free limo service is available for all guest list holders at venues we cover — eliminating round-trip rideshare costs for the entire group.
What makes Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan unique?
Marquee Nightclub is notable for several features that distinguish it from other Las Vegas mega-clubs. The 40-foot LED DJ booth was the largest in any nightclub in the world when it was installed in 2010 and remains the visual centerpiece of the main room. The multi-level layout — main dance floor, mezzanine sections, outdoor terrace with Strip views, and the Library and Bungalow VIP areas above — gives Marquee six distinct atmospheres under one roof, a variety that most single-floor clubs cannot match. The programming consistently balances hip-hop, open-format, and EDM in a way that OMNIA and XS do not, attracting a wider demographic range on any given night. Marquee also pioneered the day-to-night club concept in Las Vegas — the same infrastructure powers both the nightclub after 10 PM and Marquee Dayclub from noon to 7 PM, creating the first hotel property on the Strip to run world-class DJ programming in both formats under one roof and on one property.
What are the bottle service prices at Marquee Nightclub?
Marquee Nightclub bottle service minimums vary by table location and night. Entry-level tables on the mezzanine level start at approximately $500 to $700 on Thursday nights for groups of four. Main dance floor tables carry minimums of $1,500 to $2,500 on Friday and $2,000 to $3,500 on Saturday for comparable positions. Premium tables adjacent to the DJ booth or in elevated sections with direct sightlines to the stage carry higher minimums that scale with demand — EDC weekend, Memorial Day, New Year's Eve, and major headliner bookings push the most desirable positions to $5,000 or more. Individual premium spirit bottles at Marquee start at approximately $550 to $650 per bottle. All minimums apply toward alcohol ordered at the table and are subject to Nevada tax and service charge. The Bungalow section — Marquee's most exclusive VIP area on the rooftop above the main room — operates at private rental pricing well above standard table service. For groups who want the Marquee experience without bottle service commitment, the NoCoverVegas guest list covers free general admission entry with no financial requirement.
What is the dress code at Marquee Nightclub?
Marquee Nightclub enforces a smart-casual to upscale dress code consistent with The Cosmopolitan's five-star positioning. Men are required to wear dress shoes or clean upscale fashion sneakers, fitted pants or dark jeans, and a collared shirt or blazer. Athletic shoes, gym shoes, cargo shorts, board shorts, tank tops, sports jerseys, basketball shorts, and oversized casual clothing are not permitted for men. Women should dress upscale or fashion-forward — nightclub attire is expected over casual resort wear. The dress code is enforced uniformly at the guest list entrance, the walk-up line, and the bottle service check-in. Groups with multiple men should verify all members meet the dress code before arriving, as the door team will turn away non-compliant individuals from otherwise confirmed reservations. The Cosmopolitan environment generally attracts a fashion-forward crowd — overdressing eliminates any risk, and a blazer over dark fitted jeans covers virtually every scenario.
Does The Cosmopolitan have a pool party or dayclub?
Yes. Marquee Dayclub operates on the rooftop above Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan, programming DJ headliners Thursday through Sunday during pool season from approximately Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. The dayclub runs from noon to approximately 7 PM and features a main pool stage, multiple pool areas, cabana and bungalow sections with bottle service, and the Library — an air-conditioned indoor section overlooking the pool that is particularly popular during peak summer heat. General admission guest list access through NoCoverVegas covers free entry to the main pool and standing areas around the stage. Marquee Dayclub books equivalent headliner DJ talent to the nightclub rather than treating the pool as a secondary venue, which makes it one of the highest-quality dayclub experiences on the Strip. The Cosmopolitan also has two additional hotel pool areas — the Boulevard Pool and Bamboo Pool — for hotel guests who prefer a non-programmed pool experience.
What nightclubs can I walk to from The Cosmopolitan?
The Cosmopolitan's central Strip position provides walkable access to multiple top nightclubs. Drai's After Hours at The Vanderpump Hotel (formerly The Cromwell) is three minutes north — the most accessible late-night venue on the Strip, open past standard 4 AM closing times. OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace is five minutes north and offers one of Las Vegas's highest-production EDM experiences with the famous kinetic chandelier. Hakkasan at MGM Grand is eight minutes south — the largest nightclub footprint in Las Vegas at 80,000 square feet across five levels. For guests willing to extend the walk, Tao Nightclub at The Venetian is 12 minutes north and LIV at Fontainebleau is 15 minutes north. All venues are covered by the NoCoverVegas guest list, and the free limo service is available from The Cosmopolitan to any destination for guests who prefer not to walk. On any given night, a Cosmopolitan stay provides access to more top-tier nightclub options within a 15-minute walking radius than any other hotel location on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Is The Cosmopolitan a good hotel for a bachelorette or bachelor party?
The Cosmopolitan is one of the most popular bachelorette and bachelor party hotels on the Strip, primarily because of the day-to-night nightlife sequence it enables entirely on-property. Marquee Dayclub handles the afternoon pool party dimension with DJ headliners and cabana sections ideal for group celebrations. The Chandelier Bar provides a distinctive cocktail environment for the pre-nightclub gathering. Marquee Nightclub covers the evening with bottle service sections appropriate for birthday and bachelorette group configurations. Pre-nightclub dinner at STK Steakhouse within the property adds a formal first act. For bachelor parties that include a strip club visit, Sapphire Las Vegas and Crazy Horse III both offer complimentary limo pickup from The Cosmopolitan through NoCoverVegas — no transportation cost added to the group budget. The complete bachelorette arc of pool party, cocktails, dinner, and nightclub executes entirely on The Cosmopolitan property without transportation, which is a logistics advantage that groups with multiple people and coordination challenges specifically benefit from.
What are Marquee Dayclub cabana and daybed prices?
Marquee Dayclub daybed and cabana pricing scales with demand and proximity to the stage. Standard daybed sections begin at approximately $300 to $500 on Thursday and Friday dates during peak season and reach $600 to $900 on peak Saturday headliner days in July and August. Cabana rentals start at approximately $1,500 to $2,500 for peak Saturday bookings and include a dedicated attendant, sun shade, and a food and beverage minimum applied toward the order. Premium Bungalow sections on the upper level carry higher minimums and accommodate larger groups of eight to twelve. The Library section — Marquee's air-conditioned indoor viewing room overlooking the pool — has its own table configuration with minimums lower than outdoor cabanas but with the added comfort of climate control. Pricing escalates for EDC weekend, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and other peak demand weekends when international headliners are booked. General admission through the NoCoverVegas guest list covers entry to the main pool areas without any financial commitment, making it possible to experience the full dayclub production without a cabana expense for groups that prefer to be in the crowd near the stage.
What strip clubs are near The Cosmopolitan?
Sapphire Las Vegas and Crazy Horse III are the closest strip clubs to The Cosmopolitan, both approximately five minutes by rideshare or the complimentary limo service included with any NoCoverVegas reservation. Sapphire is the world's largest gentlemen's club at 70,000 square feet with multiple rooms, a restaurant, and VIP sections accommodating groups of any size. Crazy Horse III is known for being one of the most modern and upscale strip clubs in Las Vegas with a more polished interior than older-generation venues. Larry Flynt's Hustler Club and Kings of Hustler are approximately seven minutes away. All Las Vegas strip clubs offer free guest list entry with no cover charge through NoCoverVegas, and every reservation includes complimentary limo pickup from The Cosmopolitan main entrance — eliminating the $30-50 round-trip rideshare cost that would otherwise apply for a group.
