A hint into the roster of Strip nightclub events during Super Bowl weekend. We have a former NBA superstar, one multiple-Super Bowl champ (hello, Gronk), and onetime reality show cast member.

And also, headlining DJs. Scads of them.

The list of noteworthy club performers and parties during Super Bowl Weekend follows. Hit the CO2 cannons:

The H.Wood Group on the Strip

David Guetta and Future are the star headliners of The H.Wood Group, Uncommon Entertainment and AG Production Services’ “H.Wood Homecoming” on Feb.9-10. The event takes over a pop-up venue at Fashion Show mall on the corner of Spring Mountain and the Strip, across from the Wynn. This is the same spot where Oak View Group held its party during F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Two shows are scheduled in this partnership with fashion retailer Revolve. H.Wood operates Delilah supper club at the Wynn. Guetta and Future perform at the event from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Feb. 9. “Talent to be announced” is 9 p.m.-1 a.m. But plan “two epic nights” of immersive, experiential nightlife entertainment (homecoming@hwoodgroup.com for table reservations and info).

Wynn Nightlife

— XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas will present a packed lineup, featuring The Chainsmokers and Kygo with special guests Bebe Rexha on Feb. 10, and “Marshmello and Friends” on Feb. 11.

— “Gronk Beach,” hosted of course by four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski and headlined by Dutch DJ and producer Afrojack, takes over Encore Beach Club from noon-6 p.m. Feb. 10.

— “Shaq’s Fun House,” is set for XS Nightclub on Feb. 9. The event features performances by Lil Wayne, Diplo and DJ Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal’s stage persona) alongside a carnival experience.

— The iconic Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace sets up at Encore Beach Club, with an after-party that celebrates the release of Usher’s “Coming Home” album. Sadly, invite only. But the event honors the 30th anniversary of “Gin and Juice” with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Wynn Nightlife headliner Diplo is also on the scene.
