The Las Vegas arms race is heating up with strip veteran Wynn Las Vegas announcing its complete artist roster for 2015. A few names have already trickled out so far this year, with Kaskade making a big announcement of his homecoming to Wynn for a multi-year residency, and a report on Calvin Harris's new residency at Hakkasan by Askmen revealed Avicii's intentions to return to Wynn and at a higher price tag then Harris's reported $400,000 per gig. The Vegas nightlife brand, which owns XS Nightclub, Surrender, Tryst and Encore Beach Club, has brought in top-flight acts like Diplo, Skrillex, Laidback Luke, David Guetta, Zedd and others.
The club is tabbing artists across a variety of genres, from your big-time EDM acts like David Guetta to trap DJs like Flosstradamus and RL Grime, with a smattering of hip-hop and open format like Jermaine Dupri and Lil Jon.
"EDM is the fastest growing genre and will forever be a big part of our pop culture and our programming for our venues," Jesse Waits, co-owner and managing partner of Tryst and XS, tells THUMP. "We have always sprinkled hip-hop, trap and open format into our programming."
Wynn is looking to compete with other major nightlife brands on the strip, notably Hakkasan, who boasts a roster of Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, Afrojack and others across its multiple properties in Vegas.
As Waits says, "We are in the entertainment industry, so we will always give our guests what they want. And what they want is still a royal flush of DJs."
