The Marquee Booking

The DJ behind the biggest name in reggaeton.

DJ Pope tours the world as J Balvin's DJ — the sets that move stadiums, now poolside at Tailgate. The morning after the biggest Latin night of the Vegas summer, the party doesn't go home. It comes to the water: five pools, 22 cabanas, and a 145-foot LED wall turned all the way up.

What To Expect

Saturday, turned up.

A headliner-tier set

This is the takeover's marquee booking — a full set from a DJ who plays the world's biggest rooms, in the open Vegas sun.

The concert afterglow

Half the stadium is still at Mandalay Bay on Saturday. This is where the weekend's energy collects — same crowd, new daylight.

Vegas Latin heat

Support sets keep the deck moving from doors to close — come early, the water's the best seat before the headline set.

The Takeover Weekend

Three days. One story.

Friday

The Pre-Party
