Encore Beach Club is bringing in a mystery headliner for this dayclub session, keeping the lineup under wraps until closer to the date. This approach adds an element of surprise to what's already one of the Strip's premier poolside venues, where multiple levels of decks overlook a massive main pool and the DJ booth commands center stage.

The "Special Guest" format has become a popular way for top-tier clubs to generate buzz while finalizing contracts with in-demand talent. Given Encore Beach Club's reputation for booking major electronic music artists and hip-hop performers, you can expect someone who regularly plays festival main stages or headlines major venues. The midday start time is classic for their dayclub programming, when the Nevada sun is high and the energy builds from pool party vibes into full-on dance floor mode.

Whether you're claiming a spot by the pool or settling into one of the cabanas that ring the venue, the combination of summer heat, carefully crafted cocktails, and whatever surprise artist takes the booth makes for the kind of afternoon that stretches well into evening.
