Best Pool Parties in Las Vegas: Every Club Ranked, Priced, and Explained (2026)
Las Vegas pool parties are not your average hotel swim session. They are full-scale daylife events with world-class DJs, tens of thousands of square feet of pools, cabana service, champagne showers, and crowds that rival a music festival.
Whether you are working with a tight budget or ready to drop serious cash on a private bungalow, there is a Las Vegas pool party that fits your trip perfectly.
This guide covers every major dayclub, ranked in order, with hours, entry fees, cabana pricing, and the practical stuff — what to wear, what to bring, and what to expect when you walk through the door.
The Best Pool Parties in Las Vegas, Ranked
Encore Beach Club (EBC) — Wynn Las Vegas
The gold standard. Encore Beach Club sits at the top of every serious list for a reason. The venue spans 60,000 square feet across three temperature-controlled pools surrounded by daybeds, lily-pad platforms, and private cabanas.
Resident DJs include The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Calvin Harris, and Dom Dolla.
The production quality rivals a major festival, including submerged speaker systems, golden-hour lighting designed to hit the DJ booth perfectly, and champagne showers that go off without warning.

Palm Tree Beach Club — MGM Grand (Formerly Wet Republic)
The biggest footprint on the Strip. Palm Tree Beach Club debuted in May 2025 as a collaboration between Kygo's Palm Tree Crew and Tao Group, transforming the former Wet Republic space into a 53,000–54,500 square foot tropical-themed venue.
The club features two of the largest saltwater pools on the Strip, surrounded by 18 daybeds, 10 cabanas, and six bungalows. DJs like Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Zedd, and Steve Aoki rotate through the lineup.
Days open: Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Insider note: Fridays tend to draw lighter crowds than Saturdays, which sell out fast.
LIV Beach — Fontainebleau Las Vegas
The newest major player. LIV Beach at the Fontainebleau covers 35,000 square feet with a capacity of 2,000 guests.
It is one of the most talked-about additions to the Vegas dayclub scene in recent years, bringing the Miami energy of LIV nightlife to a Vegas poolside setting.
Expect high-profile headliners, rooftop-level views, and a crowd that shows up dressed to impress.
Days open: Friday through Sunday, 11:30 a.m. to 6pm
General admission: Women $30–$100; men $50-$150+
Best for: People who want something newer and flashier with a Miami-meets-Vegas vibe
Tao Beach Dayclub — The Venetian Resort
The most visually stunning option. The reimagined Tao Beach spans 47,000 square feet of Balinese and Asian-inspired design: lush tropical landscaping, upscale private plunge pools, a revamped DJ booth at the center, 21 luxury cabanas, and seven VIP cabanas with their own plunge pools.
The food leans into the Asian heritage with sushi boats and tableside sashimi.
DJs like Steve Aoki have residencies here, and rappers like Tyga make appearances.
Days open: Thursday through Sunday, 11am to 6 p.m.
General admission: Women $20–$40; men $30–$60+

Best for: Anyone who wants incredible photos, a beautiful setting, and slightly less chaos than EBC or Wet Republic
Budget tip: Wednesdays and Thursdays offer lower entry fees and drink deals across the board.
AYU Dayclub — Resorts World Las Vegas
The Bali-inspired underdog. AYU stretches across 41,000 square feet of multi-level pools with Balinese huts, lush palms, and scenic backdrops that look incredible at sunset.
Capacity tops 2,800 guests, and the venue connects to Zouk Nightclub next door for a night-swim experience after the pool closes.
AYU consistently books big names like Kaskade and DJ Snake, and it is often the most affordable "super-club" cover on mid-week dates.
Days open: Thursday through Sunday 11am-6pm; check calendar for specific dates
General admission: Entry pricing: men $50–$100, women $30–$75,
Best for: People who want mega-club energy at a slightly lower price point; EDM fans
Marquee Dayclub — The Cosmopolitan
The most versatile option on the Strip. Marquee sits on the rooftop of The Cosmopolitan and runs year-round thanks to a 23,000-square-foot climate-controlled dome that heats the pool to 90 degrees during winter. The club recently debuted a fully refreshed rooftop this spring with a redesigned stage and new sound system.
Fridays tend to lean hip-hop, Saturdays go big-room EDM, and Sundays become "Drenched After Dark," the only weekly night-swim event with full nightclub production in the city.
If you are worried about weather or want an off-season pool party, Marquee is the safest bet.
Days open: Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to close; dome events year-round
General admission: Women $20–$40; men $30–$60+
Best for: People who want flexibility, night swims, or a less overwhelming crowd than the mega-clubs
Reddit consensus: Night swims at Marquee are consistently called one of the most underrated experiences in Vegas.
Tailgate Beach Club — Mandalay Bay
Tailgate Beach Club officially opened May 16, 2026.
Tailgate Beach Club (formerly Daylight) brings something genuinely different to the Mandalay Bay pool deck.
The venue features over 125 feet of LED screens, 25 cabanas, two premium bungalows, and room for up to 2,000 guests. It blends dayclub energy with a stadium-style sports viewing environment, turning every game day into a poolside event.
Open for major watch parties and all-day social experiences, it is a strong pick for groups that want music, sun, and the ability to catch a game at the same time.
Days open: Check current calendar for event days and hours
General admission: Women $20–$50, Men $30–$75.
Cabanas: 25 cabanas plus two premium bungalows available
Best for: Sports fans, mixed groups, people who want something beyond a standard DJ-driven dayclub
Stadium Swim — Circa Resort, Downtown Las Vegas
Something completely different. Stadium Swim is not a traditional dayclub. It is a 21+ pool amphitheater with six pools, swim-up bars, and a 40-foot HD screen showing NFL games, UFC fights, boxing, and major sporting events.
It is open 365 days a year and skips the DJ/cover charge model entirely. This is where you go when you want to watch a game from a pool in December.
Days open: Every day, year-round
Entry: Cover charge starts at $25, though Circa hotel guests get free entry
Best for: Sports fans, groups who want something different, off-season visitors, people who want to drink in a pool without paying for a DJ
Go Pool — Flamingo Las Vegas
The best budget option on the Strip. After a $20 million renovation in 2025, Go Pool feels completely new. The deck features five pools, a 30-seat swim-up bar, a 50-foot rain-shower waterfall, themed lagoons, and high-energy DJ sets.
Entry is free on a first-come, first-served basis, and lounge chairs do not require a reservation or minimum spend. For people who want Strip proximity without the $60+ cover charge, this is the move.
Days open: Daily, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Entry: Free general admission (21+ for pool party events)
Best for: Budget travelers, those who want to experience pool party energy without the price tag

Men: $30–$60 on guest list; $80–$100+ at the door on big DJ weekends
Budget total: $150–$200 per person when you factor in drinks ($20+ per cocktail, $15–$20 per shot) and tips

Arrive at opening — early birds skip the line and snag the best general admission spots
Go on a Thursday or Wednesday instead of Saturday
Split a daybed across four to six people for a near-VIP experience at a fraction of the solo cost
Nevada residents should look for locals specials — some venues offer comped Wednesday entry for locals
Rather Skip the Pool and Go Straight to the Club? 🪩
Las Vegas summer heat is no joke. Temperatures regularly climb to 117°F, and even a pool stops feeling refreshing when it is packed shoulder to shoulder with a few thousand people under direct sun.
If you want shade, air conditioning, cold drinks, and a great time without battling the Vegas heat, Spearmint Rhino Las Vegas is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They have some amazing Happy Hour Deals and a much better female-to-male ratio.
As a proud partner of Vegas Linqs, they are ready for you any time of day — whether you are ducking out of the afternoon sun or looking to keep the night going long after the dayclubs close.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to a Las Vegas pool party?
Swimwear is required. Women can wear bikinis, one-piece suits, or cover-ups. Men should wear fitted swim trunks — board shorts are explicitly banned at Encore Beach Club, Wet Republic / Palm Tree, Marquee, and Tao Beach. This rule is strictly enforced and you will be turned away at the door. Fitted trunks above the knee are the safe standard. Flip-flops, sandals, sunglasses, and hats are all fine.
Do Las Vegas pool parties provide towels?
Yes. Every major dayclub provides towels to guests. You do not need to bring your own.
What can I not bring?
Most venues have a strict prohibited items list that includes:
Backpacks and large bags or purses
Outside food and beverages
Illegal substances including marijuana
Vaporizers and e-cigarettes
GoPros, SLR cameras, and video cameras
Inflatables, toys, and props
Over-the-counter medications, eye drops, or liquid hand sanitizer
Small crossbody bags or clear bags are typically permitted. When in doubt, travel light and use the venue's bag check or lockers.
What age do you need to be?
All Las Vegas dayclubs require guests to be 21 and over with a valid, government-issued photo ID. Paper copies, screenshots, or photos of IDs are not accepted. Non-U.S. residents should bring a valid passport.
What time do pool parties start and end?
Most dayclubs open at 11 a.m. and close around 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Some venues stay open later if the crowd is strong. Night swim events, like those at Marquee and EBC, begin around 10:30 p.m. Stadium Swim at Circa operates year-round and does not follow the same schedule.
When is pool party season in Las Vegas?
The primary season runs from March through October, when temperatures make outdoor dayclubs comfortable. Marquee's dome and Stadium Swim both operate year-round, so there is always a poolside option regardless of when you visit.
Can I attend a pool party without booking a cabana?
Yes. General admission gets you full access to the pools, bars, and the dance floor. You simply will not have reserved seating or shade. Arriving at or before opening significantly improves your experience if you are going general admission — spots near the DJ booth or around the main pool fill up fast.
Is there a dress code beyond swimwear?
At the door, you are coming from the street, so cover-ups, sandals, and casual clothing over your swimwear is standard and expected. Very few venues have a strict dress code for arrival beyond "appropriate swimwear once inside." Looking put-together when you arrive does not hurt at higher-end venues like EBC.
Do pool parties provide food?
Yes. Every major dayclub has a food and beverage menu available poolside, ranging from casual bites to upscale culinary experiences. Tao Beach in particular is known for its elevated Asian-inspired menu, including sushi boats and A5 Wagyu served tableside. Cabana and daybed packages often include a food and beverage minimum rather than a set menu.
Which pool party is best for hip-hop?
Daylight Beach Club, Drai's / Soleia, and Stadium Swim skew most heavily toward hip-hop. Encore Beach Club and Palm Tree Beach Club also bring hip-hop headliners on holiday weekends, but their core booking leans EDM.
Which pool party is best on a budget?
Go Pool at the Flamingo (free entry) and Stadium Swim at Circa (free most days) are the strongest no-cost options. AYU Dayclub and Daylight Beach Club both offer competitive pricing compared to EBC or Palm Tree on weekdays. Signing up for guest lists at any venue is the single most effective way to reduce your entry cost.
Tips & Tricks
Buy tickets in advance. Door prices increase on the day of the event. Buying ahead locks in lower rates and sometimes includes drink packages.
Hydrate constantly. Vegas sun in July is brutal. Between drinks, order water. Heat exhaustion is a real risk when you are dancing in direct sun for four hours.
Bring sunscreen. Most venues do not sell it. Bringing a small bottle will save you from a miserable sunburn.
Plan your after-party. Most pools close between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. The nightclubs pick up from there — many are located in the same hotels, making the transition seamless.
Follow your venue on social media. Clubs announce DJ lineups, special events, discount days, and locals specials through their social channels, often weeks in advance.
Conclusion
The best pool party in Las Vegas is the one that matches how you actually want to spend your day. If you want the most prestigious, production-heavy experience on the Strip, Encore Beach Club has held that title for years and shows no signs of giving it up. For sheer scale and the newest tropical energy, Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand is the venue to watch.
No matter your budget, Las Vegas pool parties are more accessible than most people assume. Arrive early, sign up for a guest list, wear the right swimwear, and let the desert sun do the rest.
