What we know
JEWEL opened in May 2016 in the former Haze Nightclub space inside ARIA. The venue covered about 24,000 square feet and was known for a two-level layout, immersive LED lighting and VIP suites.
Over the years it hosted electronic and hip-hop names including The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Usher and Lil Jon. It also held celebration parties for the Golden State Warriors and Las Vegas Aces.
The reason for the closure has not been disclosed. The final night coincides with Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
What happens next
ARIA will keep offering nightlife through venues such as Easy's Cocktail Lounge and Lift Bar. The resort is also preparing to reopen Alibi Cocktail Social on November 13.
Why it matters
Las Vegas clubs are a major stop for touring DJs, so any closure changes where artists can play on the Strip. For more on the city's dance scene, see our coverage of EDC Las Vegas. For now there is no word on a replacement at ARIA, since MGM Resorts has not announced plans for the space. The company has not said why JEWEL is closing, and the closing weekend lines up with the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Anyone planning a last visit should check the nightclub's official website for final event information.
