Scene & Status
XS Nightclub (Encore at Wynn)
Widely considered the most elegant club in the world. The gold standard of luxury. Its indoor-outdoor design means you can enjoy a world-class DJ from a quiet poolside table or dive into the gold-leafed dance floor.

Pro Tip: Sign up for the "Even Ratio" guest list early to save on cover if you have a mixed-gender group.

OMNIA Nightclub (Caesars Palace)
The Rooftop Terrace is the spot here. While the main room is a high-octane light show, the terrace offers a sophisticated outdoor lounge with its own DJ, playing vocal house and classic remixes for a demographic that appreciates the view as much as the beat.
Nights Live: Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. (Tuesdays are the famous "Industry Nights").
Cost: Men $30–$100 | Women $20–$75.
Live Music: DJ only (Electronic/House/Open Format).

The famous gentlemen’s club and hotspot of the Sin City. This is a 24-hour adult playground that manages to stay upscale, attracting a mix of high-rollers, couples, and groups with a more disposable income.

Lounges & Live Music
