When it comes to top DJ residencies, Vegas has no problem at all getting A-list talent from all over the world. However, unlike LA or New York, Sin City is exceeding expectation when it comes to being the first city to snatch up fresh DJ talent.

Oftentimes all it take is a grassroots following and an innovative and discerning musical ear to secure a weekday or opening slot at one of the dozen or so clubs here on the strip. If you're super good who knows you could be on the bill right next to a veteran like Tiesto or Aoki!

It's already Thursday and Vegas has a slew of awesome parties and performances lined up for you and your party brothers and sisters. Here are our top picks for this weekend:

1. Borgeous - Tao Beach, Thursday August 13th

It's that time again people, the weekend is nigh!

Either way, if you're reading this we know you're thinking about what's going on this weekend and we want to let you know our top weekned party picks!

Here are the essential parties going on around town this weekend:

Ah yes,  Labor Day... one of the few holidays meant for practically everybody – no prequisites required. Even if you happen to be currently unemployed (whether by luck or by choice) and continue to hold that status by the time Labor Day rolls around, as long as you've lifted a finger at one time in the totality of your life up until this point you get a pass... friend.

Even if you're not much for nightclubs, hitting up a Vegas pool party is definitely an experience you must cross off your bucket list. Each pool offers a unique atmosphere and various levels of "partying intensity". There is a pool for every personality type and mood, whether you want to tan in a daybed all day and indulge in snacks and drinks or if mingling in the pool basking in the sounds of your favorite DJ rockstar is more your style.
