Elia Beach Club: A Vacation Inside a Las Vegas Vacation

Virgin Hotels Replaces the Legendary Hard Rock

Formerly known as the Hard Rock and Rehab Pool at the Hard Rock Hotel, Elia Beach Club is part of a new project launch by Virgin group founder Richard Branson. The Hard Rock Hotel which was a Las Vegas staple and had been a reigning contender in top party spot for 26 years, closed in 2018. Since then, the famed hotel has gone under a $200million dollar renovation to become what is now The Virgin Hotel.

If you’re someone who has partied in Vegas over the last decade then you know as soon as pool season hit, REHAB Pool would come to life. It was the first major Day club to hit the Las Vegas scene, and closed its doors after celebrating its 15^th season. Locals and tourists alike will surely miss the infamous party, and Elia has big shoes to fill, but from what we have seen thus far she is well on her way.

The Virgin Hotel’s CEO – Richard Branson – came in swift with his vision for the old Hard Rock Hotel and transformed it into a sleek tropical destination. Upon entering you are swept away to the Maldives, or a beach club in Dubai. Everything from the music, the light fixtures, the wood décor mixed with rugs and potted plants and the nude and beige coloring throughout will definitely make you want to grab your passport.

Guest List

Hours of operation are 11:00am to 6:00pm Friday through Sunday, and the Elia Beach Guest List runs from 11:00am to 3:00pm.

Girls: Ladies are free and receive one free drink ticket, along with an open bar from 4:00pm-5:00pm daily. That’s more complimentary drinks in a day than any other pool party in Vegas.

Guys: Gentlemen are generally free in an even ratio with girls (see our full events calendar for more info). On holiday and fight weekends, they’ll get 50% off the full cover charge on the guestlist and receive one drink ticket.

Groups of all gentlemen will receive 25% off the full cover price and one drink ticket.

Cover Charge is typically between $30 – $50, varying on capacity. This is the General Admission price if you were to simply walk up to the ropes (not on the guest list).

Dress Code

Elia Beach asks that proper attire is worn. Yes this is a beach club and pool party, but think of your dress style as upscale resort wear.

For women, skirts, shorts with nice blouses, sexy summer dresses, nice sandals and wedges.

For men, nice shorts or pants with a linen shirt or nice T shirt and loafers or nice sandals. Of course you will be in your bathing suit majority of the time but walking to and from and mingling beforehand you must adhere to the proper dress code.

How To Calculate Your Total Spend

Your total spend will depend greatly on the number of people in your group, the table you choose, and the bottle package that your group decides to choose.

Here is an estimate of what you can expect:

On top of your minimum spend, there is,

• 8.1% sales tax
• 18-20% gratuity (your choice)
• 5-7% venue fee (depends on min)

This adds roughly 30-35% on top of your total bill. Simply multiply your bottle service quote by 1.3 to get a rough estimation of cost out the door (e.g. a $2k min spend would be approximately $2000 x 1.3 = $2600 all in).
