Is XS Nightclub open right now?

The short answer

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.

If you are in town before 5 November: XS is not an option, and no host can get you in. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something that does not exist.

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.

Questions

More on this

Thursday 5 November 2026, with a four night opening celebration. It closed in August 2026 for a top to bottom renovation, the first since the venue opened in 2008.
A complete renovation rather than a closure. Wynn Nightlife has called it a full reimagining of the room, and it is part of a broader wave of Las Vegas Strip nightclub renovations.
To Encore Beach Club at Night, in the same resort. The residencies and events moved across, so the lineup is largely intact in an open air pool venue rather than the indoor room.
Encore Beach Club at Night if you want the XS lineup, OMNIA at Caesars Palace if you want the big indoor spectacle, or LIV at Fontainebleau for the newest room at that tier.
It will be tight. Reopening weekend is not a normal night, so a balanced group arriving early has a chance and a large all male group realistically does not. A host will tell you honestly before you travel.
The XS venue as a whole is closed, which includes its pool side areas. Encore Beach Club continues to run in season, and Encore Beach Club at Night is where the nightlife programming has moved.
