Choosing the right nightclub in Vegas can be a daunting task. Fear not! We compiled the ultimate guide for choosing the perfect nightclub for YOU. Once you decide on a nightclub, you can choose to either buy tickets, buy VIP entry or reserve bottle service to get in.
BEST NIGHTCLUB OVERALL
Hakkasan Nightclub
Hakkasan took the Las Vegas nightlife by storm in 2013 by signing the top EDM DJs including Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Steve Aoki and Hardwell. Neatly located near the center of the Strip inside the MGM Grand, Hakkasan is regarded as one of the top clubs around the World.
BEST POOL PARTY OVERALL
Daylight Beach Club
Daylight Beach Club at the Mandalay Bay was modeled after Ushuaia, a very popular outdoors club in Ibiza. This club features prominent artists such as Krewella, Nicky Romero and Alesso. “Eclipse” is the pool party at night for Daylight Beach Club.
Now that you know which nightclubs and pool parties are the best, it’s time to pick the ones that are best for you and your group. XS and Light are highly rated nightclubs but you shouldn’t go there if you hate electronic music. Pick the nightclub that fits your group’s budget, music preference and location preference.

XS
Best General Admission/Ticket Experience
XS and Hakkasan
Not interested into the whole VIP experience? Buying general admission tickets is the most affordable way to get into Las Vegas nightclubs. XS is a great nightclub for general admission goers because of its large and spacious area allowing up to 11,000 guests. Even without a table reservation, XS is the best spot to dance, drink and mingle. Hakkasan’s large dance floor allows a large number of guests to enjoy a good view of the DJ.
Best Outdoors Experience
Drai’s, XS
If you think you’ll need a break from the high energy nightclub and want to get some fresh air, consider a club with a outdoors area. The outdoors area generally allows more room to move around. The music is also not as loud as the indoors area.
