Omnia Nightclub at Caesar’s Palace (EDM)

Following its much anticipated grand opening March 2015, Omnia Las Vegas has quickly become the hottest club on the strip. Located in the space previously occupied by Pure Nightclub in Caesars, Omnia LV features a star studded EDM DJ line up that includes Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, and Tiesto. The Omnia aura begins upon entering the lavish space. A colossal lighting system, which looms over the expansive dance floor, sends cascading light throughout the main club. Guests under the four-story roof will be showered with beams of changing colored lights revealing layers of architectural wonders. 

The main club boasts a dramatic 65-foot-tall ceiling dome that encompasses a 22,000-pound kinetic chandelier. The grandiose centerpiece of the main club consists of eight concentric rings featuring production elements including theatrical lighting effects, video projections and light-emitting diodes (LED) choreographed to evolve throughout the night.

If you’re into hip hop music, Heart of Omnia is a separate area within Omnia that features a hip-hop DJ. There’s also a rooftop terrace upstairs that has it’s own DJ, typically playing more chill music. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to hear the main DJ unless you’re in the main room. Of course, main room table prices don’t come cheap. Can’t put a price on fun.

Drai’s After Hours at The Cromwell (2 rooms – 1 Hip Hop, 1 EDM)

So, the DJ’s starting to wind down at the club you’re at but the party’s not over yet; after all, the night’s still young. It’s the age-old dilemma many of us have encountered at one point or another. So, what do you do? We’ve got a solution: check out Drai’s After Hours in The Cromwell. The club is located underground where it originally opened in the Barbary Coast; look for the gold elevator marked with the curvaceous body of a woman in a ruby red dress to take you down to the venue. 

If you’re looking for after-hours fun on the Strip, this is the place to be. Cashing in on everything saucy about after-hours, Drai’s digs deep to give you a club experience like no other. Drai’s pioneered the “after-hours” late-night concept in 1997, providing an intimate and exclusive spot where the party continues until past sunrise (the venue is open until 10 AM). Drai’s features two separate rooms: one playing hip-hop and one playing EDM. Be warned: on occasion when the place gets really busy you may have to pay an extra cover charge to get into the hip-hop room. But hey, can’t put a price on fun!
