Is XS Nightclub open right now?
No, not at the moment. XS at Encore closed in August 2026 for a complete renovation, its first since the room opened in 2008, and reopens on Thursday 5 November 2026 with a four night celebration. While it is dark, its residencies and events have moved to Encore Beach Club at Night, which is the same resort and the closest thing to the XS experience. Tables for the reopening weekend are already being taken.
What is happening
XS has been the most consistently booked room in Las Vegas for the better part of two decades, and it is finally getting rebuilt. Wynn Nightlife closed it in August 2026 for what it has described as a top to bottom reimagining, the first major renovation since the club opened in 2008.
It reopens on Thursday 5 November 2026, across a four night opening run.
Where the XS nights went
This is the useful part, and most people do not know it. During the closure, the XS residencies, DJs and events have moved to Encore Beach Club at Night, which sits in the same resort. So the lineup you were coming for is largely still there, in an open air pool venue rather than the indoor room.
For a lot of groups that is an upgrade rather than a compromise. EBC at Night is the only open air party of its kind on the Strip, and it is a genuinely different night out. We compared the two properly in Encore Beach Club vs XS.
What to book instead, by what you actually wanted
- You wanted the XS lineup. Encore Beach Club at Night, same resort, same DJs.
- You wanted the big indoor spectacle. OMNIA at Caesars Palace is the closest equivalent in scale and production. See XS vs OMNIA for how the rooms differ.
- You wanted the most polished room on the Strip. LIV at Fontainebleau is the newest room at that tier.
- You are here on a Monday. Marquee runs Monday, which was one of the few nights XS used to own.
The reopening weekend
The 5 November reopening is being run as a four night event with a heavyweight lineup, and it is going to be one of the harder tickets of the year. Two practical notes if you are aiming at it.
First, book early. Opening weekends at a room of this profile sell their good tables weeks out, and the fallback is not a cheaper table, it is nothing. Second, expect opening night pricing. Minimums on a reopening weekend with a lineup like that are not normal weekend minimums, so get the all in number in writing before you commit. The mechanics are in is bottle service worth it.
Will the guest list work on reopening weekend?
Honestly, it will be tight. A free guest list is the normal way into XS on a normal night, and reopening weekend is not a normal night. If your group is balanced and you can be at the door early, it is worth asking. If your group is six men on the Saturday, plan on a table or plan on a different room, and we will tell you that straight rather than letting you find out at the door.
Tell a host your dates and we will tell you what is actually available, whether that is the reopening weekend, Encore Beach Club at Night before then, or a different room entirely. Free guest lists, no booking fee, and an honest answer about what is realistic.
