If you’re planning to visit a Las Vegas nightclub, you might be wondering what time you should arrive in order to have the best experience getting in. It’s always best to arrive when the club opens around 10:30pm, but the answer to this question also depends on a few different factors, such as the day of the week, the specific club you’re visiting, who’s performing and whether or not you have a bottle service reservation or if you’re on the guest list.
On weekends, Las Vegas nightclubs tend to get busy earlier in the evening, with many guests arriving around 10:30pm or 11pm. If you want to avoid long lines and ensure that you get into the club, it’s a good idea to arrive at this time. However, if you’re visiting on a weekday, you might find that the clubs don’t get busy until later in the evening, and you can probably arrive closer to midnight and still get in without any issues.
In addition to the day of the week, the specific club you’re visiting can also impact the best time to arrive. Some of the bigger more popular clubs with bigger named DJs, you’ll want to arrive earlier compared to smaller clubs with local talent. If you’re not sure what to expect, it’s a good idea to check out our club guides.
If you have a bottle service reservation, you can typically arrive at the club at any time and be guaranteed entry. However, if you don’t have a reservation, and want one, you’ll want to arrive at the time when the club is about to open, or contact a VIP host at the specific venue ahead of time.
For patrons on the guest list, you should arrive between 10-10:30, but on busier nights with special performances, expect lines to begin around 9-9:30 and wait times exceeding 90 minutes. We suggest arriving at least an hour before the club opens and get in that line, so you can get in before the club hits capacity and they close the list. We always email and text you on the day of your event what time you should arrive.
Overall, the best time to arrive at a Las Vegas nightclub will depend on a variety of factors, but you can ensure that you will have a great time at the club and enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Las Vegas as long as you follow our guides.
