Venue Info

What to Know About Tao Beach

Tao Beach at The Venetian Resort is a 47,000-square-foot rooftop dayclub rebuilt from the ground up in a $75 million renovation completed in 2022 — the most comprehensive dayclub transformation in Las Vegas Strip history. The venue sits above The Venetian's tower structure, and the surrounding resort architecture creates a wind-blocked microclimate that makes the deck warmer and more comfortable than ground-level pools on cooler spring and fall days in March and October. Operated by Tao Group — the hospitality company behind Marquee Nightclub, OMNIA Nightclub, and Hakkasan — Tao Beach benefits from the group's A-list booking power, and the 2026 resident DJ roster reflects it: Alesso, Fisher, Chris Lake, Tiësto, and Zedd all hold seasonal resident positions, making it the single dayclub in Las Vegas with the deepest concentration of electronic music headliners. The Asian-inspired design language that defines the Tao brand extends fully to the outdoor space: oversized Buddha statues anchor the main pool deck, bamboo dividers create semi-private pockets between VIP sections, and a koi pond positioned near the entrance establishes a luxury resort atmosphere before the music builds. The elevated Main Stage cabana row faces the DJ booth directly and accommodates up to 20 guests per unit, each with full bottle service and dedicated hostess coverage for the entire afternoon. Tao Beach is one of a small number of Strip dayclubs operating on Thursdays during peak summer months, from late April through early September — making it the strongest full-scale dayclub option for groups who want Thursday programming without paying peak Saturday pricing or competing with Saturday crowd sizes. As part of The Venetian's integrated Tao Group complex — which includes Tao Restaurant and Tao Nightclub on floors below the pool level — guests can structure a complete afternoon-into-evening experience beginning at Tao Beach and transitioning directly to the nightclub, with a single host managing both reservations. The rooftop position delivers clear sightlines across the Venetian pool complex toward the wider Las Vegas skyline, and the elevation above Las Vegas Boulevard means dramatically less street noise than ground-level dayclubs along the main Strip corridor.
