The scene at Omnia Dayclub washes over me like a tidal wave of debauchery. It’s a bacchanalia of bottle girls and bikinis, wet decks and disastrously hot men with biceps the size of small babies. Everyone looks incredible. Everything sounds incredible, too.
The quivering basslines of Australian tech-house hitmaker Fisher test the foundation of the DJ booth. It’s chest-high, so low and intimate you could fist bump the rowdy Aussie if you wanted to. And who wouldn’t?
No one throws a party quite like Tao Group Hospitality. Omnia Dayclub’s grand opening weekend was, by all measures, a mini-festival. After Fisher set the mood, Rüfüs Du Sol swept in with a solid supply of glistening melodies on Saturday, followed by a euphoric swell of Martin Garrix beats on Sunday. The stars couldn’t resist the shine, as everyone from LeBron James and Shay Mitchell to Sofia Vergara and Travis Pastrana joined the party.
Omnia Dayclub
A Mykonos and Ibiza-inspired dayclub is easy to flaunt on paper but near impossible to execute without the right amount of passion. Omnia Dayclub, with its imported olive trees and private palatial cabanas and plunge pools, nails the exotic excess associated with a summertime getaway.
Two central pools on the main floor are where the chaos concentrates. It’s where the girls from that weekend bachelorette trip cool down between blasts of cryo cannons as the party heats up. The DJ stage demands attention with its 8K LED screen that swims with vibrant visuals. And the VIP tables situated behind the booth offer elite access to the artists, blurring the line between fan and insider.
In terms of people watching, Omnia Dayclub’s upper deck feels like a whole other ball game. It’s a spacious reprieve from the party below, offering a sweeping view of the club and the Strip. Perched near the bridge connecting the club to Omnia Nightclub is also Skybar, a private terrace where you can enjoy drinks and signature bites away from the action but still close enough to feel the vibrations of it.
This debut held little back in terms of spectacle. The only thing left is to shamelessly eye our calendars, eager to head back and do it all over again next weekend.
DAYBREAKER May 31, 9 a.m., $20-$35, Omnia Dayclub, taogroup.com.
Omnia Dayclub welcomes sober sunrise dance party Daybreaker
If there’s anything we’re learning about the next generation of partiers, it’s that alcohol is no longer a necessity. Daybreaker, a global sober dance party founded by Radha Agrawal, is taking over Omnia Dayclub on May 31. As younger audiences start to prioritize healthy raving over hangovers, movements like Daybreaker have found an unlikely home in electronic dance music circles.
“People still want music, dancing, catharsis, and connection, but increasingly they want to feel good while doing it,” Agrawal said in a statement. “Bringing Daybreaker into a venue like Omnia feels symbolic of a much larger cultural shift happening in real time.”
Guests will hit the dance floor at sunrise for guided yoga and grooves from 9 a.m. to noon, followed by a DJ set by Dutch hitmaker Afrojack. Now that’s how you do an alarm clock.
