Open Format Music at Voltaire

Spanning N/A square feet, Voltaire is purpose-built to handle Open Format music at its full potential. Located at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, the venue's sound architecture is designed around the sound system needs to handle everything from heavy EDM drops to crisp hip-hop vocals to Latin percussion — and it does. The audio engineering allows DJs to switch between genres without any loss in quality or impact. Whether the DJ drops a bass-heavy trap banger or transitions into a smooth R&B classic, the system reproduces each genre at its best.

With a capacity for a crowd of up to 1000 guests, Voltaire is known for Voltaire trades bottle-service anonymity for genuine intimacy. A 1,000-cap room means you're twenty feet from Dita Von Teese rather than watching her on a jumbotron. The programming is deliberately unpredictable — burlesque one week, pop superstar the next — which is exactly the point. If you want to say you “saw” someone in Las Vegas rather than “attended their arena show,” Voltaire is the venue.. On Open Format nights specifically, the layout accommodates the diverse energy shifts that come with open format sets. The dance floor stays active through genre changes because the crowd feeds off the DJ's ability to read the room and pivot. Different sections of the venue naturally attract different vibes — high-energy near the booth, more social near the bars — giving you options throughout the night.

Saturday for headliner events; Friday for Backstreet Boys afterparties (summer 2026)

For Open Format specifically, the biggest nights are typically Friday and Saturday when headliner DJs take the stage. If you want a less crowded experience with the same great music, Thursday nights often feature Open Format sets with shorter lines and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Doors usually open at 10:30 PM, but the dance floor does not really fill up until midnight. For guest list entry, plan to arrive before 12:30 AM — especially on peak nights.

The official dress code at Voltaire is: Upscale fashionable attire. No athletic wear, baseball caps, sneakers, or shorts. 21+ with valid ID. This applies to every event regardless of genre, and door staff enforce it strictly — especially on peak nights. Getting turned away at the door after waiting in line is the worst way to start your night, so plan your outfit in advance.

Open format nights have a versatile dress code. Since the music spans genres, the crowd dresses across the spectrum from smart-casual to fully dressed up. Men should stick with dark jeans or tailored pants, a nice shirt, and dress shoes. Women can choose between cocktail dresses, stylish separates, or trendy going-out looks. When in doubt, dress slightly above what you think is necessary.
