Élia (pronounced ee-LYE-uh) official opened its doors on June 10th, 2021, in conjunction with the continued unveiling of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas which kicked off by Sir Richard Branson, with JC Hospitality, owners of the resort, and top hospitality leaders Mio Danilovic, Jason “JROC” Craig, and Michael Fuller, of Élia Beach Club.
Élia Beach Club has made waves since its inception as the newest hotspot daylife venue, also receiving the Best New Oasis award for Las Vegas Weekly’s Best of Vegas 2021. Following its official opening was a sizzling summer of EDM pool parties with renowned DJ performances at their beach-inspired music oasis. From the bamboo framed and draped fabric cabana design to the jute and stonework accents, the global design influences differentiate Élia Beach Club from the typical pool atmospheres, offering a photographic backdrop at every turn.
The Mykonos-inspired decor and ambiance not only impresses guests but transports them to an international paradise. With travelers continuously journeying to Tulum (Mexico) and Miami (Florida) since the onset of the pandemic, and on the heels of the widespread popularity of tourism to Mykonos over the last five years, it was evident the decor and musical programming of these global destinations are what party-goers want to hear, see and experience. With this in mind, the team set out to create the ultimate getaway destination, paired with the internationally coveted brand of Virgin Hotels as its Las Vegas backdrop — and so Élia Beach Club was born. With a musical focus on all genres of house music, a relaxed yet energetic dance vibe inspired by international beach destinations creates a rhythmic, transformational experience for guests, different from any other Vegas pool and nightlife offering.
The musical style of DJs and notable guest performers like Deadmau5, Loco Dice, Sofi Tukker, Lane 8, Sam Blacky, Sigala, and SNBRN, incorporates tropical house, world house, and deep house, with a mindset of escaping through the rhythm of dancing and vibrations filling the good-vibe atmosphere of the venue. The beautifully designed stage complete with a straw-thatched roof creates a desirable and attractive focal point to the venue that will not only lure in guests and performers but will create a cohesive desire to be a part of the experience it exudes. Overlooking the Mediterranean-colored pool, the music infiltrates the venue elevating the experience to another level, literally. The floorplan allows for all cabana guests to feel integrated into the vibe of the performance, as well as patrons that choose to stay at pool level. Every guest, whether pool level or at a VIP cabana, is offered an immersive, accessible, and welcoming experience. The entire venue evokes an exclusive feel. eliabeachlv.com
