Get answers to common questions about Vegas nightlife, dining, and entertainment.
Most major nightclubs offer guest list sign-ups through their websites or promoters. Guest list typically provides free or reduced entry for ladies and reduced cover for men, but usually requires arrival before 11pm-12am and has ratio requirements (equal or more women than men in your group).
Bottle service includes a reserved table, bottles of your chosen spirits, mixers, and a dedicated server with expedited entry. Tables start around $500-$1000 on weeknights and $1500-$5000+ on weekends at top clubs. It's worth it for groups of 4+ who want guaranteed seating, skip the line, and a VIP experience.
Men: Collared shirts or nice fitted tees, dress shoes or clean designer sneakers, no athletic wear, hats, shorts, or sandals. Women: Cocktail dresses, heels, upscale going-out attire. When in doubt, overdress. Door staff have discretion and can deny entry for dress code violations.
Friday and Saturday are peak nights with the biggest crowds and top DJs. Thursday and Sunday (especially pool parties) are also popular. Monday-Wednesday tend to be more relaxed with lower covers and drink specials. Holiday weekends and fight nights are the busiest.
Plan for $50-100+ per person for cover charges and tips on a budget night. For a bigger night with bottle service, the minimum spend varies by club and table location ($500-$5000+). Most venues accept cards, but cash is useful for tips, coat check, and faster transactions at busy bars.
Most nightclubs open around 10pm-10:30pm and stay open until 4am or later. The peak hours are typically midnight to 2am. Guest list lines form by 10:30pm. For pool parties/dayclubs, doors usually open 11am-12pm and close by 6pm-7pm.
You must be 21+ for all nightclubs, dayclubs, and most bars in Las Vegas. A valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport) is required for entry. Some shows are 18+ or all-ages, so check individual venue policies.
Dayclubs (like Marquee, Wet Republic, XS) are full-scale outdoor venues with headlining DJs, cabanas, bottle service, and a club atmosphere during the day. Regular hotel pool parties are more relaxed with poolside service. Dayclubs have dress codes, cover charges, and minimums similar to nightclubs.
