Jewel Nightclub at Aria Is Closing in 2026

Jewel Nightclub at Aria will permanently close on November 21, 2026. The club operated at the resort on the Las Vegas Strip for ten years. Tao Group Hospitality ran the nightclub jointly with the resort's owner, MGM Resorts International. MGM announced that the two companies had reached a mutual agreement on the closure.

In a press release published on Monday, November 2, MGM said there was "no immediate plan" to renovate the 24,000-square-foot space. The company did not explain the reason for the closure. Vital Vegas reported that the club was open only two days a week. This is generally seen as a sign of underlying problems.

Jewel opened on the Strip on May 19, 2016. It debuted at the height of Las Vegas's mega club era, when resorts competed with one another. The opening night was a celebration hosted by Jamie Foxx. Over time, the venue welcomed names such as Drake, The Chainsmokers, Lil Jon and Usher. The Las Vegas Aces and the Golden State Warriors also held championship celebrations there.

The club spanned two floors and had a capacity of about 1,925 guests. The LED strip lighting across its domed ceiling, covering more than 1,400 square feet, was the venue's most eye-catching design feature. Five VIP suites overlooking the dance floor supported its upscale identity.

Jewel replaced Haze Nightclub, which opened alongside Aria in December 2009. Haze closed in 2014, although it was reported to generate annual revenue of 25 to 30 million dollars. Nightlife in Las Vegas continues to change. Large clubs remain an important draw at some resorts, but visitors are increasingly turning to a growing range of options, such as cocktail bars, speakeasies and dining-focused social venues.
