Bottle Service 101


Our friends from Marquee Sydney in Australia provide a little education on how Las Vegas style bottle service works with a little bottle service 101. It's all about style and the size of your bottles if you want to get the hot chicks. The answer is yes, if you buy big bottles of champagne you can get a bottle presentation. Depending on your spend, the presentation will vary but typically includes a large portion of the waitress staff celebrating with your group with sparklers, flashing lights, and individuals dressed up as mascots. Sometimes a shout out from the DJ and a customized message on the LED screens accompany this presentation.

Las Vegas Dayclub Opening Dates In 2026

When we get asked when do the pool parties and dayclubs open their doors in Las Vegas, the simple answer is in March. See which dates each ones will be open for business you will want to check the upcoming event calendar.


General Overview & Trends

March is when the weather starts to make a turn for the better, and starts to hint at what summer will be. While most of the pools start their seasons in March, they won't start to program their big DJs and really get busy until that last weekend in March and early April. They usually have their "Grand Opening" events around this time.

  • Opening Month: Mid March
  • Peak Season: May – September
  • Closing Month: Mid to Late October
  • Earliest Openers: Major dayclubs such as Encore Beach Club and Marquee Dayclub
  • Weather Factor: Consistent 75°F+ temps usually trigger grand openings



We have put together a list of all of the best Las Vegas pool parties and will be updating it with their opening dates as they make the announcements. As always No Cover Nightclubs will have guest lists options for every summer pool event. Getit all using our Dayclub Event Calendar.

XS Nightswim In Las Vegas



If you've never been to an XS Nightclub Sunday Nightswim party, you are missing out. Each and every year they set attendance records because they bring the top DJ talent and let guests party it up in the outside portion of the club. It's almost like for Sunday they turn the nightclub inside out for an out of the ordinary experience. There is a different dress code for these Sunday Nightswim events, so make sure you have all the info before attending. Feel free to wear pool attire or nightlife attire. Everyone is encouraged to jump in the water. Be prepared for things to get wild because as the energy intensifies you're going to get wet.

New For This Year

XS Sundays: Tomorrow Can Wait is a bold new Sunday night party concept at XS Nightclub designed to redefine the traditional end-of-week experience. The event transforms XS into a high energy, immersive spectacle where guests are surrounded by theatrical performers, elevated production
moments, and interactive elements throughout the venue. Rather than simply watching a DJ performance, guests become part of the environment, experiencing a constantly evolving atmosphere filled with music, visuals, and unexpected moments that create one of the most dynamic nightlife experiences in Las Vegas.

The Experience: Every Sunday night, XS will transform into a theatrical nightlife environment designed to feel immersive, energetic, and unpredictable.

• Theatrical performers throughout the venue including showgirls, dancers, stilt walkers, and roaming
entertainers
• Elevated production moments featuring lasers, confetti blasts, and dynamic lighting
• Interactive guest elements such as LED party wands and high energy crowd moments
• Signature visual decor including disco ball installations and immersive lighting environments
• A constantly evolving run-of-show designed to keep energy building throughout the night

The result is a Sunday experience that feels less like a traditional nightclub night and more like a live
spectacle unfolding around the guest.
