XS’s grand reopening weekend is in the books, and the verdict is in: the wait was worth it.
Four nights, four headliners: RÜFÜS DU SOL opening with a DJ set Thursday, The Chainsmokers Friday, Calvin Harris Saturday, and Diplo B2B Hugel closing it out Sunday. For a club that first opened on New Year’s Eve 2008 and went on to host residencies from Avicii, Tiësto, and David Guetta, it was the most on-brand comeback imaginable.
It was also a homecoming. Diplo has called XS “probably the place I’ve played the most times ever,” and Calvin Harris described the reopening as a chance to be part of the club’s next chapter after years of nights there. Those artists went from the old room’s chandeliers to a completely reimagined space. A mirrored-gold booth, moving ceiling, with a sound system built into the architecture and the first weekend put all of it to work.
XS isn’t easing in, either. Franky Rizardo makes his XS debut Nov. 18 to open Formula 1 race week, RÜFÜS DU SOL return Nov. 22 to close it, and Wynn residents Kaskade and Calvin Harris are both on deck in the coming months.
