How we rank them
Not by Instagram. By what our host team sees every week: who's actually playing, who's actually in the room, what a table gets you for the money, and how the door behaves at 1 AM. Every room below is one we book; the order changes with the calendar and we'll tell you when it does.
The ten, ranked
| # | Room | Best for | Nights | Table money |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | XS — Encore at Wynn | The biggest night in Vegas. Back Nov 5 after its first remodel; race week is already selling. | Reopens Nov 5 · Fri · Sat | Top of the market |
| 2 | LIV — Fontainebleau | House and tech-house. 62 tables, every one with a sightline to the booth. Sunday is the sleeper. | Fri · Sat · Sun | High |
| 3 | Zouk — Resorts World | The best-produced room on the Strip. Younger, music-first crowd under the Mothership. | Thu · Fri · Sat | High |
| 4 | Omnia — Caesars Palace | The safest big-night call. Three rooms, a terrace, the widest headliner calendar. | Tue · Thu – Sun | Mid – high |
| 5 | Marquee — Cosmopolitan | Real headliners a tier below XS money. Boom Box for hip-hop, Mondays for locals' prices. | Mon · Fri · Sat | Mid |
| 6 | Hakkasan — MGM Grand | Big groups. Five levels and the Studio room keep ten-plus together. | Wed – Sat | Mid |
| 7 | EBC at Night — Encore at Wynn | Wynn nightlife outdoors around the heated pools. Heavier roster — deadmau5, Subtronics, ODESZA. | Wed · Sat | Mid – high |
| 8 | TAO — Venetian | Open format, the easiest door on the Strip, dinner downstairs. Night one for most bachelorettes. | Thu – Sun | Entry – mid |
| 9 | Jewel — ARIA | The boutique room. Skyboxes for a crew that wants its own corner without Omnia money. | Fri · Sat | Entry – mid |
| 10 | Drai's — Vanderpump Hotel | Hip-hop and R&B, and the only real after-hours — it runs to 7 AM. | Wed – Sun | Entry – mid |
By what you're actually after
The photo
XS once it's back, then LIV. If the trip is one big night, it's one of those two.
The music
Zouk for production and EDM, LIV for house, Drai's for hip-hop, Omnia for whoever's biggest that week.
The money
Marquee Monday, LIV Sunday, TAO any night. Same city, a fraction of the Saturday minimum.
The crew
Hakkasan's Studio for ten-plus, a TAO or Jewel skybox for a group that wants privacy, Omnia's Heart room for a mixed crowd.
The late one
Drai's after-hours. Set the main table somewhere else and hold Drai's for after — one text, both rooms.
The big weeks
F1 race week, New Year's, EDC Week. Every room programs them; tables go weeks ahead.
What changed this year
XS closed August 1 for its first-ever remodel and comes back November 5 — RÜFÜS DU SOL, The Chainsmokers, Calvin Harris and Diplo b2b Hugel on the reopening weekend, then race week. Drai's left the rooftop when the Cromwell became the Vanderpump Hotel and went back underground as the after-hours room. LIV finished pulling the house crowd north to the Fontainebleau. The rest of the order is where it was, which tells you something about how stable the top of this town is.

Questions people actually ask
What is the best nightclub in Las Vegas in 2026?
For the biggest night, XS once it reopens November 5 and LIV at the Fontainebleau. For production and a music-first crowd, Zouk. For the safest big-night call with three rooms and a terrace, Omnia. The right answer depends on your night and your crew — text us and we'll say which.
Which Las Vegas nightclub is best for hip-hop?
Drai's is the pure hip-hop and R&B room, and the only real after-hours. Marquee's Boom Box, Omnia's Heart room and Hakkasan's Studio run hip-hop inside bigger clubs. Jewel leans hip-hop on Saturdays.
Which nightclub is best for a big group?
Hakkasan — five levels and the Studio room seat ten or more together without the main-room minimum. TAO and Jewel skyboxes work for a crew that wants its own corner.
What night of the week is best?
Saturday is the biggest everywhere. LIV Sunday and Marquee Monday are the two best-kept secrets: real rooms, softer minimums. Weeknight residents at Omnia (Tuesday) and Hakkasan (Wednesday) are underrated.
Is XS open?
XS reopens November 5, 2026 after a full remodel and runs F1 race week November 19–22. Through early November the Wynn lineup plays Encore Beach Club at Night.
