Ah, your 20s—a glorious time when you’re old enough to drink but young enough to recover from a hangover in a few hours. If you’re looking for a spring break destination that’s equal parts wild and unforgettable, Las Vegas is calling your name.
Whether you’re here for pool parties, nightlife, or just the chance to say you danced next to someone who might have been a Kardashian, this guide has everything you need to make the most of your trip.
Why Vegas for Spring Break?
Las Vegas is like the Beyoncé of party cities—iconic, glamorous, and always delivering. It’s the ultimate playground for 20-somethings, offering world-class nightlife, legendary pool parties, and endless entertainment options. And while it can get pricey (hello, $25 cocktails), with a little planning (and some Groupon magic), you can live large without emptying your bank account.
Pool Parties and Dayclubs
Vegas pool parties aren’t about swimming—they’re about dancing, drinking, and pretending you don’t have SPF 50 slathered all over your face. Here are the top spots to soak up the sun and vibes:
- Drai’s Beachclub (The Cromwell): Rooftop views and high-energy beats make this a must-visit. Feeling bougie?
- Palm Tree Beach Club (MGM Grand): Formerly Wet Republic, this tropical oasis is set to redefine Vegas dayclubs with lush vibes, saltwater pools, and DJs like Kygo, Tiësto, and Zedd. Spanning 60,000 square feet, it offers private cabanas, bungalows, and a ground-level stage for live performances.
- Marquee Dayclub (The Cosmopolitan): Infinity pools and DJs like Pauly D keep the energy high year-round. Look for Groupon packages that include drink specials or VIP entry.
- Encore Beach Club: Known for its luxurious cabanas and EDM headliners like Kygo. Splitting a cabana with friends? Check for group deals to save big while living large.
- Daylight Beach Club (Mandalay Bay): This sprawling venue features hip-hop performances and themed events like Neon Vibra. Groupon sometimes offers discounted entry—perfect for balling on a budget.
Pro Tip: Show up early to snag a good spot, don’t forget sunscreen (trust us on this one), and hydrate with actual water between cocktails—it’s not optional in the desert heat!
Nightclubs
When the sun sets, the Strip transforms into one giant party. Vegas nightclubs are legendary for their over-the-top production, celebrity DJs, and crowds ready to dance until dawn.
- Omnia Nightclub (Caesars Palace): A futuristic wonderland with a kinetic chandelier that’ll light up your Instagram feed. Save time and money by booking a Groupon VIP package that includes skip-the-line entry.
- XS Nightclub (Encore): With its indoor-outdoor spaces and DJs like Marshmello, this is where luxury meets high-energy partying. Some party bus tours include stops here—check Groupon for deals before booking.
- Tao Nightclub (The Venetian): Asian-inspired decor meets high-energy beats in this iconic venue. Look out for bar crawl packages that include Tao as a stop—no cover charges mean more money for drinks!

Tips for a Safe and Memorable Spring Break
Vegas might be wild, but staying safe doesn’t mean killing the vibe. Here’s how to ensure your trip is unforgettable—in all the right ways:
- Stay hydrated (yes, we’re saying it again). The desert heat + alcohol = dehydration waiting to happen.
- Dress codes are strict at most clubs—leave the flip-flops at home unless you want to be turned away at the door.
- Book tickets or packages in advance; nobody wants to stand in line when they could be partying.
- Keep an eye on your belongings—and your drinks.
- Use the buddy system! It’s not just for kindergarten—it works wonders in Sin City too.
Spring Break in Las Vegas is not just a vacation; it’s an experience you’ll be talking about well into your 30s (or at least until next year). From poolside ragers to all-night dance marathons, Sin City knows how to show 20-somethings an unforgettable time without completely draining their wallets—especially if you take advantage of those sweet Groupon deals along the way!
So pack your bags, grab your crew, and get ready for a spring break filled with stories you’ll mostly remember forever!
