The resort and the setting
TAO Beach Dayclub is at The Venetian on the center-north Strip, on the pool deck level above the casino, reached through the resort near TAO Asian Bistro and TAO Nightclub, all run by Tao Group Hospitality. The dayclub was demolished and rebuilt in 2022, roughly doubling its footprint to around 30,000 square feet. The new design is an Asian-garden theme: a large central pool with a DJ booth, a pavilion-style bar, tiered daybeds and cabanas along the sides, a second-level VIP area and, crucially, a retractable roof that covers the whole deck, letting TAO Beach operate in weather and in months when open-air dayclubs are closed.
The Venetian and Palazzo share a large complex of regular pools on the same deck level, free for hotel guests and separate from the dayclub. A Venetian room key does not admit you to TAO Beach. Our Venetian and Palazzo guide covers the resort.
Vibe and crowd
TAO Beach sits between the mega-dayclubs and the boutique ones. It is smaller than Encore Beach Club or Wet Republic, so it feels intimate and fills quickly, but the design and the roof make it more comfortable than most on a hot day. The crowd is the classic center-Strip mix: groups celebrating, couples, convention visitors letting off steam midweek and a steady flow of Venetian and Palazzo guests who walk downstairs. It is lively without the stadium feel and is one of the more convenient dayclubs for anyone staying between Caesars and Wynn.
Music
Open-format and hip-hop with dance headliners on many weekends, drawn from the Tao Group roster that also plays TAO Nightclub, Marquee and Hakkasan. Expect familiar mainstream names rather than underground bookings. The schedule is posted on the Tao Group site. Because the roof allows year-round operation, TAO Beach sometimes runs parties in the cooler months when other decks are dark; check the calendar if you visit outside peak season.
Typical cover, tables and cabanas
As of 2026, and check the official site: general admission is typically $30 to $75-plus with headliners at the top and women often reduced or free on guest lists before a cutoff. Daybeds run from a few hundred dollars midweek to roughly $1,000 to $2,000 minimum on weekends; cabanas about $2,000 to $4,000-plus; the upper-level and premium spots more. Tax, a service charge around 20 percent and gratuity are additional. Pricing sits in the same band as Marquee, the sister venue at the Cosmopolitan.
Dress code and age
21 and over with a valid government photo ID. Swimwear and resort attire; no jerseys, baggy or below-the-knee shorts, cut-offs or work boots; sandals or flip-flops required. Bags are checked; no outside food or drink. The door is typical Tao Group: firm on the list, not unfriendly.
Best days and timing
Open several days a week in pool season, usually around 11 am to 6 pm, with some extended or off-season dates thanks to the roof. Saturday is the peak; Friday and Sunday are strong; weekdays are calmer and good for convention-week visitors. Because the venue is smaller, capacity is reached earlier on headliner days, so arrive by noon on weekends. Its center-Strip position makes it the easiest dayclub to combine with an afternoon walk and an evening show; you can leave the pool at 5 pm and be seated at a restaurant in the Venetian at 6.
How to book
Tickets, daybeds and cabanas are sold on the Tao Group and TAO Beach sites; table reservations connect you with a host who confirms minimums. Venetian and Palazzo guests can book through the concierge. Promoter guest lists are free; VIP hosts sell tables with markups, so confirm totals. The rules are the same as for nightclubs, explained in our tickets and guest lists guide.
Insider tips and what to avoid
- The roof is the reason to choose TAO Beach in July and August; a covered deck at 110°F is a real advantage.
- Venetian guests who want a lively day without a cover can use the regular pool deck, which has a bar and a DJ area of its own on weekends.
- Pair with TAO Nightclub or TAO Asian Bistro for a day-to-night deal; the venues sometimes bundle.
- Expect a smaller crowd and earlier capacity than the mega-clubs; this is a feature for some and a drawback for others.
- Check off-season dates if you visit in November or February and want a dayclub.
