It's a club...a lot of B acts perform there. But in the daytime, it's a pretty cool indoor day club.
Wet republic and encore beach were my favorite poolside day clubs btw
Free drinks and appetizers were at their private lounge on the 26th floor. I've stayed at alot of Vegas hotels...for the money, palazzo prestige level is unmatched imo. I don't stay anywhere else.

Yeah other hotels actually have the same type of thing. One of the many reasons I stay at Venetian/ Palazzo.

I'm not hating on Lavo, btw. It holds a special place in my heart as the first club I ever went to in Vegas. Was mind blowing as it was my first trip to Vegas. Then, the next night our group went to XS and we ended up with a dance floor table. Bruuuuuuuh lol. Going from clubs back home to Lavo felt like the same difference as going from Lavo to XS lol.
Edit: should add that Lavo was a full-on club back then. They remodeled and re-branded as a lounge in the last couple years.

Life nightclub is closing as well. The writing was on the wall. All these clubs opening was not sustainable. Surprised Marquee is still kickin with all this competition.

Yep. Daylight is done at the end of summer. Not only that, Life at SLS is closing in the next week or two. Steve Angello is moving to Omnia. As it turns out, Vegas can't support all these clubs.

Was never really a fan of daylight, but I thought light was fun.
These bottles prices keep going up and they're paying DJ's absurd money to come play. It's a matter of time before they lower prices and /or pay the DJ's less, imo at least

And, yes, I'm being sarcastic in that comment. Of course it was unsustainable lol. There's a reason XS has stayed in business for seven years. The Hak group is the next to overstep the boundaries. I don't think Omnia and Hak can exist in the same market, at the end of the day. The only thing helping them is the fact they have so much money, but if you talk to insiders, they're robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Why is XS still going strong?
Stupid question, why are they closing? Are people just not walking in the doors to cover overhead (duh), because of paying DJ's too much or the rent for the building is ridiculous? Mixture of both?
How are places like The Bank still open?

XS maintains its status because of Steve Wynn, who actually has control over XS (and Tryst). He's a smart business man. When Hakkasan emerged as a competitor, Wynn didn't even bother getting into a bidding war. He knew his brand was solid. It didn't take long for some of that talent to come crawling back (Deadmau5, in particular). Wynn also knew that customer service was key (ironically, Hak exists because of an XS whale getting screwed out of a table one night). XS is by far the best customer service experience in Vegas. I've been there every year for five years. It's never been better than it is now, thanks to competition.
Also, Steve Wynn is playing with the biggest house advantage in Vegas. XS was paid off within the first couple years of operation. And that was before the EDM boom. They are caking. He just doesn't care, because he's not trying to pay off these insane club costs the others are. Remember, Wynn wasn't paying any DJ more than a couple grand per night, off the bat. When Hak opened, they had DJs on the opening roster making $400K right away. They have to pay that off. In addition, Tryst is basically a money printing factory. It's been open for ten years. They don't put headlining DJs in there. They offer bottle deals (even on Saturdays) to get a younger, less affluent crowd in. It gets people into the Wynncore hotels, and those people will eventually move on to XS, once their bank roll gets larger.
Ultimately, the market is over-saturated. Certain brands have name recognition, like the Wynn clubs and Hak. But, when the big Saturday night options expanded from just XS and Marquee to XS, Hak, Omnia, Light, Marquee, etc. it became an unsustainable situation. None of this is a surprise.

What do you feel about the day clubs?

Day clubs are a different beast. EBC is the king right now. It does $1 million in revenue every Saturday alone. There aren't as many, either. On Saturday, there are 20+ nightclubs to go to. During the day, there are half that for actual pool parties.

I'll be out there August 23rd- 26th. I know people go to party, but anybody ever do a Grand Canyon trip from Vegas? I'll have a rental car and I see it's only 4 hours away. It's something I definitely want to do, but I'm thinking of either driving or doing a bus tour from vegas.

Not surprised to see the bubble start to burst.
Didn't make sense to go from two mega clubs to 5+. The market didn't change that much
