Since first opening the velvet rope, Surrender and its adjoining pool party area outside, Encore Beach Club, remain one of the staple haunts for electronic dance music in Las Vegas. Part of the same complex that houses XS, the name this mega club yields read like an EDM superstar rap sheet: Avicii, David Guetta, Diplo, Fedde Le Grand, Martin Solveig and Steve Angello are just some of the names exclusive to the owners, Wynn Las Vegas.

A few years ago, not many people — bar Paul Oakenfold, Steve Wynn, Insomniac's Pasquale Rotella and few other key nightlife impresarios — could have imagined how dance music would take off in Sin City, but it's everywhere — and Surrender/Encore Beach Club has not only played a pivotal role in this but continued to push the ball forward in keeping The Strip laden with fist-pumpers.
