Pool Cues

Diving into the Start of Pool Season

Ah, the return of pool season. Time to start taking lunch 30 minutes earlier, bathing in SPF 15 and preparing yourself for the rigors of doubling down while doggy paddling. Below, a filtered list of the best poolside parties starting in March. It’s the new June.

Wet Republic, MGM Grand

Wet Republic, MGM Grand

You prefer your poolside party to be authentically Vegas. But cutting it with a taste of Ibiza, well, that could be intriguing. So you’ll head over to Wet Republic, where they’ve imported David Guetta’s “F*** Me I’m Famous” bash from said isle. Along with a Playmate or 20. Just in case.

Liquid, Aria

Liquid, Aria

Sometimes Vegas just boils down to a numbers game. Case in point: the 16,000-square-foot Liquid Pool Lounge with its eight private cabanas, three heated pools and 85 chaise lounges typically occupied by tanning 10s. It’s the kind of math you can do on your fingers.

Bare, The Mirage

Bare, The Mirage

Famous for their aversion to bikini tops, Bare isn’t just the place you go to for the gorgeous/partially nude scenery. It’s also the place you go to for poolside butler service, lobster tacos and pitchers of fresh margaritas. Or at least that’s the stock answer you’ll give anyone who asks.

Garden of the Gods Pool, Caesars Palace

Garden of the Gods Pool, Caesars Palace

VIP accommodations. High-roller perks. US Senator treatment. All welcome touches. But what you’re really after: the full living-deity experience. So you’ll hole up in one of the 40 new fully loaded cabanas at Garden of the Gods. Where whiskey tastings and aquatic blackjack are just a short walk on water away.

Azure, The Palazzo

Azure, The Palazzo

There’re certain things you require when laying out by the pool. A daybed with frozen grapes, complimentary Evian mistings and an adjacent hookah lounge with Strip views aren’t among them. But thankfully, you’re a master at making daybed-related adjustments on the fly.
