Omnia, Las Vegas: Nightclub AV System Case Study

In a city of grandeur, Omnia, Las Vegas had to raise the bar. Located in Caesar’s Palace and taking up over 75,000 square feet. Omnia set out to be the most talked-about nightclub on the Strip, and far beyond.

Audiotek’s role? To design and deliver a fully integrated AV system that didn’t just support the show, it is the show. Featuring a 32-foot diameter, 5-tonne kinetic chandelier covered in Robe lighting, the system had to blend high-tech precision with pure Las Vegas theatre.

Project Challenges

Every nightclub project has its own demands, but Omnia took them to another level:

Engineering a kinetic centrepiece weighing five tonnes, combining lighting and movement in perfect sync
Managing three distinct venue environments under one AV umbrella: a main room, ultra-lounge, and rooftop terrace
Creating a scalable system that could power massive headline DJ sets, intimate VIP events, and everything in between
Controlling sound spill in outdoor areas surrounded by high-end hotel suites
Ensuring flawless AV integration in a venue that operates seven days a week

Project Scope – AV Installation at Omnia, Las Vegas

Audiotek was responsible for the full AV ecosystem at Omnia, Las Vegas encompassing:

Audio design and installation across all three zones
Lighting specification including the main chandelier and feature lighting rigs
Video system integration for content playback and environmental visuals
Structural integration of moving elements, lighting arrays, and high-performance speakers

The main room featured a L-Acoustics ARCS II system with SB28 subwoofers for full-range, club-grade coverage, and XTi loudspeakers for fills. The ultra-lounge used ARCS Focus and Wide models with SB18 subs for a tighter, more intimate feel. On the terrace, Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers were deployed for powerful yet directional sound to minimise noise pollution.

Design Approach to Nightclub AV System

We approached Omnia with a layered strategy:

Lighting & Movement: The centrepiece chandelier is more than décor. It’s a kinetic lighting system driven by a matrix of Robe fixtures, rigged on motorised winches that allow it to descend, spin, and pulse with the beat.
Audio Precision: L-Acoustics systems were selected for their power, clarity, and modular deployment across variable venue types.
Video Content: Integrated video playback supports immersive content during DJ sets and private events.
Control & Automation: All systems are unified under a central control platform, allowing seamless transitions between modes.

Every zone is different, yet the experience is always consistent.

Omnia, Las Vegas Key Innovations

The Kinetic Chandelier: A 32-foot wide moving sculpture of light and metal, combining mechanical engineering and Robe lighting to create a living ceiling
Zoned System Intelligence: Each room has its own tuned audio and lighting profile, but shares central command
Terrace Sound Management: Renkus-Heinz directional loudspeakers keep the party inside without waking the neighbours
Modular Lighting: Ayrton fixtures offer hybrid beam/wash functions that can adapt to any artist’s requirements

Omnia, Las Vegas Project Installation & Execution

Omnia’s execution phase was as intense as its design:

Audiotek collaborated with venue architects, mechanical engineers, and rigging specialists for safe deployment of the chandelier
Extensive pre-build modelling ensured accurate motor coordination, sightlines, and SPL mapping
The team provided full commissioning support, show programming, and live event integration
Backup systems were installed to support redundancy in lighting and audio during critical events

From the first cue to the last encore, Omnia runs like a showpiece should.

Commercial & Educational Insights

Omnia proves that next-level AV is more than gear:

Movement adds magic: The chandelier became a signature feature not just because it lights up, but because it transforms
Sound must match scale: L-Acoustics’ modular approach ensures each room gets the energy it needs without overpowering
Integrate early: Working with mechanical teams during early design stages made structural challenges solvable
Zoning reduces risk: Modular zones allow the show to go on even if one section needs attention

Conclusion – Nightclub AV System That Owns the Room

Omnia is the kind of venue where people look up, and then can’t look away. From its massive kinetic centrepiece to its crystal-clear sound and immersive lighting, every detail is choreographed for impact.

Audiotek delivered an AV system worthy of the Vegas spotlight and then some.
