Locals and visitors who dance at Jewel Nightclub inside Aria Resort & Casino have 18 days left before it shuts for good on November 21, 2026. MGM Resorts and Tao Group Hospitality agreed to close the club, and MGM is steering nightlife-seekers to Marquee at The Cosmopolitan.
Why it matters
Jewel has been one of the Strip's fixtures since it opened in May 2016 as a Hakkasan Group venue, and its closing trims one more high-capacity dance room from a resort corridor that already counts its nightlife hiring and layoffs closely. The closure is permanent and was settled by mutual agreement, which leaves the club's space and any future use outside the facts reported so far.
Jewel's closure is documented in the operators' announcement, which lists a maximum capacity of 1,925 guests and a reduction to two club workdays per week before the November 21, 2026 closing. The materials do not say how many staff positions are affected or what the space will become.
The players
MGM Resorts International
The operator of Aria Resort & Casino, which agreed with Tao Group to close Jewel Nightclub.
Tao Group Hospitality
The company that ran Jewel Nightclub and agreed with MGM to close it.
Hakkasan Group
The original operator of Jewel Nightclub before Tao Group acquired it in 2021.
The details
Jewel Nightclub at Aria Resort & Casino will close permanently on November 21, 2026, following a mutual agreement between MGM Resorts International and Tao Group Hospitality, which ran the club. Jewel opened May 19, 2016, replacing Aria's Haze Nightclub, and was first operated by Hakkasan Group before Tao acquired Hakkasan in 2021. MGM has directed guests looking for Las Vegas nightlife to Marquee at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Timeline
May 19, 2016: Jewel Nightclub opens at Aria.

Beyond the Strip
Jewel is the second Aria nightclub to close, following Haze, which ran from 2009 to 2014 before Jewel opened in its place. This closing ends a run of replacements at the same resort, and the reported facts do not say whether the venue will change again.
If you have a regular Saturday or booking at Jewel, plan to move it to Marquee at The Cosmopolitan or another venue before November 21. Since the club is closing for good, there is no reopening date to wait for.
The takeaway
Jewel's closure removes one of the Strip's larger dance rooms, and valley nightlife fans should book their plans before the November 21 closing date. Watch for any announcement about the space's next tenant, since none has been reported yet.
What happens next
Jewel Nightclub closes permanently on November 21, 2026, and guests should plan their Strip nightlife around that date.
