If you haven’t been to Palm Tree Beach Club yet, here’s the short version: it’s a 60,000-square-foot, 3,000-person playground built by Tao Group Hospitality in partnership with Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew, dropped right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip at MGM Grand. Rockwell Group designed the space, and it shows — a saltwater pool ringed by twelve bungalows and ten cabanas, a stage set at ground level so the DJ booth practically melts into the crowd, and a production rig loud enough to turn a Tuesday afternoon into a full-blown festival moment. It’s less “hotel pool” and more “someone smuggled Tulum onto Las Vegas Boulevard.”
And this August, Palm Tree Beach Club isn’t just showing up for summer — it’s closing it out in style.
The Lineup Doing All the Talking
Scroll through the August calendar and it reads less like a pool schedule and more like a festival poster. Zedd headlines not once but twice, on August 8th and again on August 22nd, bookending a month that also features Tiësto tearing up the decks on the 15th, Lost Frequencies the very next day, and R3hab bringing the bass on the 23rd. Then, just when you think the month can’t escalate further, Chris Lake closes it out on the 29th before the whole thing wraps with Reggaetonlandia on the 30th — a genre-bending sendoff stacked with DJ Luian, 2Deep, Aristeo, and Krucial turning the last Sunday of summer into a full reggaetón takeover.
Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all that house and techno royalty, DJ Pauly D shows up on the 9th to remind everyone that Palm Tree Beach Club can flex pop-culture star power just as easily as EDM heavyweights.
That’s the headliner tier. But the real flex is what’s happening underneath it.
Every Single Day Has a Vibe
This is the part that separates a good pool party from an actual institution: Palm Tree Beach Club doesn’t just save the talent for Saturday. The whole week has a personality.
Drift Wednesdays kick things off with local specials and a rotating cast of homegrown talent — D-Miles, Lucky Lou, Paradice, and Eric Remy all get their moment on the decks throughout the month, proving the venue is just as invested in Vegas’s local DJ scene as it is in flying in the A-listers. Thursdays keep the momentum going with Mondo (twice!), Mikey Francis, and Ross. Then Good Life Fridays turn up the energy heading into the weekend with Sourmilk, E-Rock, Eric Dlux, and Four Color Zack setting the tone before the Saturday headliners take over.
By the time Saturday and Sunday roll around, the buildup pays off — which is exactly how you end up with a run like Zedd, DJ Pauly D, Lucky Lou, Tiësto, Lost Frequencies, Zedd (again), R3hab, Chris Lake, and Reggaetonlandia all inside a single 30-day stretch.
Why It Actually Matters
Vegas has no shortage of pools claiming to be “the party.” What makes Palm Tree Beach Club different is the intentionality behind it — the Kygo-backed Palm Tree Crew DNA baked into the branding, the ground-level stage that erases the barrier between artist and crowd, the saltwater pool that somehow makes a Strip dayclub feel more beach than casino. It’s a space engineered for the exact kind of chaos that makes a great pool party story, and this August’s booking sheet is basically daring you to have one.
Wednesday through Sunday, all month long, Palm Tree Beach Club isn’t asking to be part of the summer conversation in Vegas. With a lineup like this, it is the conversation.
Palm Tree Beach Club is located at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, and is open Wednesday through Sunday through the summer season.
