About the Venue

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.

The vibe: Upscale Asian-inspired oasis with a more refined crowd. The design and ambiance make it feel like a luxury resort rather than a rager. Great for couples and groups who want a stylish pool day.

Tao Beach's 2022 renovation was the most extensive dayclub transformation in Las Vegas history — $75 million rebuilt every inch of the 47,000-square-foot rooftop venue from the ground up. The result is the most visually cohesive pool party in Las Vegas: oversized Buddha statues positioned around the main pool deck, bamboo wall dividers creating semi-private pockets between VIP sections, and a koi pond near the entrance that establishes an immediate atmosphere of calm luxury before the music builds. The elevated Main Stage cabana row directly faces the DJ booth and represents the premium VIP tier, with each unit accommodating up to 20 guests and including full bottle service and dedicated hostess coverage throughout the day. For general admission guests, the north edge of the main pool near bar two offers the best sightlines to the DJ performance while keeping you within 15 feet of fast bar service. Tao Beach is operated by the Tao Group — the same hospitality company behind Marquee Nightclub, Omnia, and Hakkasan — which gives it access to an A-list booking roster that includes resident DJ slots for Alesso, Fisher, Chris Lake, Tiësto, and Zedd throughout the season. The Venetian's rooftop location means the pool sits above Las Vegas Boulevard street noise, and the surrounding resort towers on three sides create a wind-blocked microclimate that makes the deck noticeably warmer than ground-level dayclubs on spring and fall days. Tao Beach is one of only a handful of Strip venues to operate on Thursdays during peak summer months — from late April through early September, Thursday programming typically features resident DJ sets from the supporting roster, making it a genuinely excellent option for groups who want a full dayclub experience without weekend cover pricing or Saturday-sized crowds. The koi pond at the Tao Beach entrance serves a design purpose beyond aesthetics — it creates a physical and psychological transition between the casino corridor energy of The Venetian and the serene luxury of the pool deck. Guests encounter the calm water feature before the sound of the main stage reaches them, which is an arrival sequencing decision that sets the experience apart from dayclubs where the DJ audio and crowd noise hit you at the entrance. Tao Beach's programming philosophy separates musical genres by day of week: Fisher and Chris Lake hold Friday tech-house slots targeting the most musically focused crowd of the week, Alesso and Tiësto anchor Saturday's peak programming with the highest-production EDM headliner sets, and Zedd's select Sunday appearances bring a more melodic, progressive sound profile. This structured genre rotation attracts meaningfully different crowd demographics across the weekend rather than the same audience showing up repeatedly — which keeps the energy varied and prevents the programming fatigue common at single-genre venues. For guests staying at The Venetian or Palazzo, access to Tao Beach runs entirely internal through the Grand Canal Shoppes — no rideshare, no outdoor street walk, no sun exposure before arriving at the pool deck. The access corridor passes through The Venetian's shopping and dining areas, which means guests can easily combine a pre-pool lunch at a Venetian restaurant or a post-pool dinner at Tao Restaurant itself with the same afternoon visit.

  • Asian-inspired design and architecture
  • Multiple pools and VIP sections
  • Tao Group DJ lineup (Alesso, Tiesto, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Fisher, Chris Lake)
  • Connected to Tao Nightclub and restaurant

Expert Advice

Insider Tips for Tao Beach

  • 01

    Thursday is a sleeper hit — Tao Beach is one of the only major Strip dayclubs open on Thursdays in summer, with smaller crowds and lower cover than Saturday headliner days

  • 02

    The koi pond near the entrance is the best photo opportunity before the crowd builds — arrive within the first 20 minutes before 3,000 guests fill the deck

  • 03

    The north edge of the main pool near bar #2 balances the best DJ sightlines with the fastest bar access — stake this position within the first 45 minutes of opening

  • 04

    Order from Tao Beach's poolside food menu — the sushi and Asian-inspired dishes are genuinely good and far above the typical nachos-and-sliders pool menu

  • 05

    Fisher, Chris Lake, and Alesso hold resident slots throughout the season — check the calendar and target a Chris Lake Friday for tech-house focused programming at its best

  • 06

    The rooftop location creates a warmer microclimate than ground-level dayclubs — the surrounding Venetian towers block wind from all sides, making Tao Beach comfortable on shoulder-season days in March and October when other pools feel cool

Venue Guide

The $75 Million Rebuild: Tao Beach's Rooftop Architecture and the Venetian Microclimate

Tao Beach completed a $75 million ground-up renovation in 2022 — the most comprehensive single-venue transformation in Las Vegas dayclub history. Every surface, structure, and amenity on the 47,000-square-foot rooftop was removed and rebuilt from scratch, producing the most visually cohesive dayclub in the city: oversized Buddha statues positioned around the main pool deck, bamboo wall dividers creating semi-private sections between VIP areas, a koi pond near the entrance establishing atmosphere before the music builds, and the elevated Main Stage cabana row facing the DJ booth directly. The renovation gave Tao Group a flagship dayclub rivaling EBC in production quality while differentiating on design identity — Asian-inspired luxury rather than Wynn's white-marble resort aesthetic.

The rooftop positioning at The Venetian creates a microclimate advantage over ground-level dayclubs. The Venetian and Palazzo towers on three sides of the pool deck block wind from every direction, raising the effective temperature on the deck above what standard Strip measurements suggest. This makes Tao Beach noticeably warmer on shoulder-season days in March and October — spring and fall afternoons when other pool venues feel too cool for comfortable water entry. The thermal pocket trapped between the surrounding towers also means pool water temperature holds longer into the evening on cooler September days, extending the comfortable session window beyond what open-air dayclubs on the west or north sides of the Strip can offer.

The Main Stage cabana row at Tao Beach is the most optimized VIP tier of any Las Vegas dayclub from a sightlines standpoint. Each unit faces the DJ booth directly across the main pool at an angle that gives unobstructed stage views regardless of where the headliner moves during the set. Each unit accommodates up to 20 guests with full bottle service and dedicated hostess coverage. The koi pond near the entrance serves as an intentional arrival sequence that transitions guests from the casino corridor energy through a moment of stillness before the sound of the main stage reaches them — a design sequencing philosophy no other Las Vegas dayclub replicates at the same structural level.

Fisher, Chris Lake, Alesso, Tiësto, and Zedd: How Tao Beach's Genre Rotation Works Across the Week

Tao Beach's 2026 resident lineup is structured by genre across days of the week. Fisher and Chris Lake hold Friday slots — both artists work in tech-house, a sub-genre characterized by driving percussion, compressed basslines, and minimal melodic hooks that sustain consistent peak energy across a long afternoon set. A Fisher or Chris Lake Friday at Tao Beach draws a crowd that knows the genre and came specifically for the music rather than for the dayclub spectacle — a meaningfully different audience composition than the broad-EDM Saturday crowds. This genre specificity produces a more music-engaged pool atmosphere on Fridays, with guests staying closer to the DJ sightlines and remaining in the main pool longer.

Alesso and Tiësto anchor Saturday programming at Tao Beach. Both artists are strongly associated with progressive house and big-room EDM — the genre most internationally associated with Las Vegas pool parties — and their Saturday placements reflect Tao Group's calculation of maximum weekly revenue potential. Tiësto's sets typically span his extended catalog across multiple decades and sub-genres; Alesso delivers anthemic progressive house that functions effectively as a crowd unification format. Zedd holds select Sunday appearances with a melodic electronic sound that differentiates from both the tech-house Fridays and the big-room Saturdays. Thursday programming runs during peak summer months from late April through early September — one of the only Strip dayclubs offering full-production pool parties on Thursdays.

The Thursday dayclub sessions at Tao Beach draw a composition distinctly different from weekend crowds: business travelers staying through midweek, Las Vegas locals treating Thursday as their informal weekend start, and convention attendees at The Venetian Conference Center who want a pool experience on an off-day from sessions. Cover charges on Thursday run $10 to $15 lower per person than equivalent Saturday shows, and the general admission crowd is meaningfully smaller, translating directly to more physical space in the pools and shorter bar wait times. For groups that prioritize pool access over the headliner-specific experience, a Tao Beach Thursday offers the same 47,000-square-foot venue at a fraction of Saturday's crowd density.

The Venetian Internal Corridor, Tao Restaurant, and the Connected Day-to-Night Circuit

The Venetian Resort's internal walkway from the Grand Canal Shoppes to the Tao Beach entrance is a logistical advantage that guests staying at The Venetian or Palazzo can fully utilize. The path runs entirely through air-conditioned interior space — casino floor, shopping corridor, hotel sections — eliminating the 10-to-15-minute outdoor sun exposure that Strip pedestrian travel requires at other dayclub locations. On July and August afternoons when outdoor temperatures reach 108 to 112 degrees, arriving at Tao Beach without outdoor exposure is a meaningful energy advantage that affects how much time the group has at full capacity on the pool deck.

Tao Restaurant operates within The Venetian with the full Asian-inspired culinary vision that the brand applies across its portfolio. A pre-pool lunch at Tao Restaurant creates a logistically efficient sequence for groups that want both quality dining and a full afternoon pool session within the same property visit — the restaurant is accessible from the hotel interior, the pool level is reachable from the same interior corridor, and no rideshare is required between the two. Tao Nightclub occupies a separate space within The Venetian, and programming a Tao Beach afternoon into a Tao Nightclub evening is the most operationally simple full-day entertainment arc at this property: same brand, same hotel, single host managing both reservations.

Convention attendees at The Venetian Conference Center — one of the largest on the Strip — use Tao Beach as a mid-convention pool option with greater frequency than most guests realize. The conference center walking path to the pool level is fully interior, meaning conference groups can transition from breakout sessions to pool deck in under 15 minutes without outdoor heat exposure. Convention group bookings for Tao Beach cabanas represent a significant share of the weekday VIP business at the venue, driven by the combination of convenient access and the Venetian hotel reputation that most convention organizers target when selecting accommodation blocks for multi-day events.
