Élia Beach Club is the very first venue of the joint partnership from nightlife leaders and managing partners Mio Danilovic, Jason “JROC” Craig and Michael Fuller, and JC Hospitality at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. In a team effort with the partners and designed by Francois Frossard, the Mediterranean-inspired venue creates an alluring oasis transporting guests to a Mykonos, Greece experience. Frossard who also designed the notable Joia Beach, as well as some of the most widely admired venues to have graced Miami paid close attention to detail carefully constructing the venue’s décor, color palette, and furnishings bringing an international beach destination vision to life. Élia Beach Club focuses on all genres of house music including tropical house, deep house, and world house with its grand stage set directly in front of a massive Mediterranean-colored pool allowing guests to cool down as they turn up. It is a beach club like never seen before in Vegas, offering an incomparable experience.
