Las Vegas’ XS Nightclub Unveils Multi-Million Dollar Renovation
XS Nightclub — one of Sin City’s most popular nightlife destinations — just unveiled $10 million worth of new lighting, sound effects and technology. The club is located at Wynn Las Vegas and has been a fixture in the city’s EDM scene for the last few years.
According to Billboard, additions include “a large-scale flame, pyrotechnic and laser system, high-resolution LED video screen upgrades to a new 360-degree DJ booth structure, a comprehensive and seamless new lighting system for the dance floor and outdoor pool area, and a double kabuki drop in front of the booth featuring projection-mapped video content.”
“Our vision was to go into this new era of EDM and have the best visuals,” XS’ Jesse Waits told Billboard. “We made it so you can change the elements for each DJ, customize sets for each DJ and make atmosphere and mood changes.”
“We knew we had to do it,” said Waits. “A little bit of it was pressure from the DJs. When you travel around the world and go to the likes of Ushuaia and Pacha in Ibiza, they have different technologies that we don’t have.”
The two-year renovation was implemented in partnership with SJ Lighting — a company recommended by EDC founder Pasquale Rotella. Their portfolio includes festivals such as EDC, Ultra, Nocturnal, Beyond Wonderland, along with dozens of clubs around the US.
