Las Vegas: You can take the plunge at another pool - latimes.com
There was a time, long ago, when this local could use any Las Vegas pool (to do laps) without showing a room key or an ID. Sweet freedom! Alas, the hotel pools are now charging 10, 20 or more bucks for the hotel residents to use their own pool. Now some hotel pools are opening up to charge people staying at other Vegas hotels to usetheir pools. This is called PROGRE$$ ...

The following post was contributed by WHV contributor Julie Kasperson. She can be contacted through her Facebook Site.
It was a perfect day for the last promoted event at Wet Republic, MGM Grand’s ultra pool. While other parts of the U.S. are already getting the season’s first snowfall, the lucky people either living or vacationing in Las Vegas were able to enjoy the sounds of Grammy award-winning, internationally renowned DJ Roger Sanchez spinning tribal house music.
Wet Republic features two spectacular saltwater pools, eight individual pools and spas, exclusive VIP Bungalows, hip party cabanas, spacious daybeds, and oversized deluxe chaise lounges. Attractive wait staff dressed in designer Ed Hardy swimsuit attire doted on patrons in cabanas and those at poolside. Pretty party pool people frolicked in the water and poolside while “The S Man” - DJ Roger Sanchez - worked the crowd into a frenzy. More happy house music fans danced across the 4,100 square foot sundeck, drinks in hand, turning the pool into one big outdoor dance party.
This beautiful and sunny October Sunday was the last promoted event to be held at Wet Republic. While pool season is officially over in Las Vegas, Wet Republic will still continue to be open on weekends through early November.

Keep Your Top On At Tao Beach Las Vegas
OK. here is my spin on Tao Beach's decision to "put a lid on it" , so to speak. The Venetian does not want to scare away the upscale tourist trade who aren't interested in going to a pool where unsophisticated young men gawk at women and try to convince them to take their tops off like they are at the Mardi Gras or on location with "Girls Gone Wild" Spring break. Not exactly what I would call European style sophistication. How do you separate the "gawkers" from the sophisticates? So it is a kind of "backlash" on toplessness.
I do understand that there is a great difference between topless sunbathing and topless swimming, but I really don't want to go into the finer details. Some pools restrict one or the other. I can't speak from experience here. ( I will have to plan an investigative field trip to get to the bottom of it - or is that get on top? ;)
Expect some of the higher end properties that cater to the more sophisticated and perhaps older demographic to follow with the "keep your top on" policy. Or maybe the "trend" will continue? We will all keep watching.
------------------
The "Survivors"
- Mandalay Bay's Moorea Beach Club
Set amidst the famous Mandalay Bay Beach, yet seemingly a world away, Moorea Beach Club provides guests 21 and older with an upscale place to indulge. European bathing with a fantastic view of the sand and surf, cushioned chaise lounges, high-energy music and personalized attendants provide an elite day-club environment. Special inset panels on the frosted glass wall overlooking the beach provide screening during daytime hours but, with removal in the evening, unobstructed VIP viewing of the Mandalay Bay Concerts on the Beach.
There is an admission charge to access this club. The area turns into a nightclub on weekends. The club opens at 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 11 p.m. on Sunday - The Venus pool at Caesars Palace
The Venus pool, which allows European-style topless bathing, is also home to the Venus Pool Club beginning spring season and throughout the summer months. Equipped with luxurious cabanas, over sized chaise lounges and air-conditioned bars complete with flat-screen TVs, the Venus Pool Club is the epitome of decadence and luxury. Guests can even enjoy frozen towel service, Evian face spritzers and body massages while soaking in the sun. - Bare Pool at the Mirage
- Wynn's European "topless" pool
The pool sits on an upper level, just behind the main pool area.
There is a European style bathing area where tops are optional. Since this is the hot new pool that everyone wants to go to, you will hear all sorts of languages being spoken when you visit what is without a doubt one of the most luxurious and among the best topless pools in Las Vegas. If you're not quite ready to bare it all at the Wynn Topless Pool, there are plenty of tanning beds around the pool. - Stratosphere Hotel Casino
Beach Club 25 opened in October 2004, and permits topless sunbathing. There is an admission charge for men ($10) but women are admitted free.
From Norm's column at the Review Journal:
Bikini tops are back in vogue at Tao Beach, after a brief experiment as a topless pool venue at The Venetian. The 18,000-square-foot European-style beach club opened May 4, joining a half dozen other tops-optional venues.
The owners pulled the plug quickly. Operations ceased in June "due to management's decision to create a different experience," a Tao insider said.
"It was more of a brand decision," according to a source close to the New York-based company. "They decided to pull back and focus on a more sophisticated crowd."
Located on the roof, away from the main pool, Tao Beach was an extension of Tao Asian Bistro and Tao nightclub. It was a topless venue from 10 a.m. to sunset, then turned into a nightclub.

Seems like most first time visitors to Las Vegas have the impression that it is at least 100 degrees here year round. Well, it isnt. Most outdoor pools are open from March/April to October/November! Weve listed Hotels that have year round indoor pools or heated outdoor pools.

The Xtine Report: clubs in Vegas schedule,pool party info. etc
What's Happening Now!
The very latest post from the talented local personality Xtine from Global Peace GrooVes Christine - she is a very knowledgeable insider on the local Vegas club scene, and nightlife.
Here's a quick update to some of the clubbing schedule in Las Vegas:
First I want to congratulate Chad Palais of Rehab in The Hard Rock Hotel. NBC's Today show featured an interview with Chad about the pool parties in "sin city". They showed footage of the long running Rehab party. Rehab is on Sundays poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel. cover charge varies.Club Schedule Updates
- Tao Sunset Beach is turning one month old this week. Jada Fire has been added to the lineup of entertainers. Several DJ's perform including Digital Boy. Food (delicious I might add) is passed around by lovely servers dressed in red sarongs over flesh toned bikinis. Tao beach is open daily and is offering yoga class from Jada Fire.
- Ditch Friday's is the pool party at The Palms. Several radio stations do relay from the pool party. The party is sponsored by Right Gin and Miller Lite. The Palms pool is sometimes open for a similar type of party, if not a 'normal' opening of the pool is available during at least four months of the year at The Palms as well as most hotels on the strip.
- Bare is in The Mirage. It's been open seven days per week for four months. Originally the servers were topless, hence the name Bare, but I've heard from at least one attendee of the party that the servers are now clothed.
- Double Down Saloon is a mainstay of Vegas with a 24- 7 open policy and never a cover charge. There is live music nightly and food and drinks are offered at modest if not meager fees. There is sometimes DJ's on the decks as well.
- Moon in the Playboy tower of the Palms hotel started their Tues. night party this week. Now Moon is open from Tues. through Sunday, making it a five night club.
- Late Night Empire has been hosting KLUC's 98.5 FM electronic dance music program on Friday nights for one month now. Friday June 15th Mike Remedy and Blake LaBounty are djing at Late Night Empire.
- Saturday June 16th, Peter Bailey and Joey Mazzola DJ. Peter Bailey is a resident DJ from Pacha NYC. His myspace page is www.myspace.com/djpeterbailey.
- Revolution in The Mirage is open 7 nights per week. On Sunday's international DJ talent graces the decks. Luca aka Digital Boy is the hosting DJ. June 10th Steve Lawler is the guest DJ. June 15th brings back Tommy Lee and Aero to do a DJ set. (Shredding I might add. Check My Videos of six minutes compilation of audio and video.)
- Krave has a naked student night 18 + June 20th.
- Jack Colton and Tracy Lee are having a week long celebration of the relaunch of www.jackcolton.com and the five year anniversary of www.napkinnights.com by going clubbing till they drop. They're starting their week at The Lucky Strike Bowling alley in The Rio on Monday, June 11th.
Club Dress Codes
People are wondering what the dress code is for clubs in Las Vegas. Basically you might be able to get away with wearing "trainers" if they're meticulously clean and the rest of your attire is smoking hot or considered club worthy or dressy.
Men usually are asked to be wearing a shirt with a collar and perhaps some buttons.
If you're going to a pool party please have a bathing suit under your shorts or skirt or sarong or sundress.

Peace out
- "Xtine on the sin city scene"
I attended the official after party for Ocean's 13 at Moon on Wed. June 6th and saw Charles Feelgood shred on the decks at Ministry of Sound in Body English on Wed. as well.
DJ Dan will perform at Body English with Jack LeFleur on Wednesday June 13th in the main room of Body English. This party has been only running for two months.
If you like electronic dance music, consider supporting this type of party.

Las Vegas nightlife now at its hottest in broad daylight
Related LA Times Article: Las Vegas nightlife now at its hottest in broad daylight:
By Kimi Yoshino
Los Angeles Times
LAS VEGAS -- On a Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, at the hottest pool party in town, the Hard Rock Hotel's Jack LaFleur is the man to know. The promotions director stands at the velvet rope, deciding who will shake their booties in the sun � and who won't.
"Only girls, send 'em up!" LaFleur barks as a stream of twentysomething, bikini-clad girls hop the line, leaving a couple of hundred men in their wake. "No more guys. It's out of control."
This is Rehab, Las Vegas' best-known, biggest and craziest pool party. In the 21 Sundays it will operate this year, hotel executives estimate that Rehab will rake in about $6 million � nearly $35,000 every hour it's open. As many as 3,000 tanned and toned bodies find their way into Rehab each week, where they play swim-up blackjack, gulp down $17 cocktails served in 30-ounce plastic jugs and make out under waterfalls, on chaise lounges and, well, just about anywhere.
Since it began in 2004, Rehab has transformed Vegas' daytime scene into a "Girls Gone Wild" tableau of debauchery. Today, almost every major casino resort has nightclub operators managing their 21-and-over pools. They hire DJs to spin music and demand hefty cover charges.
Several resorts have separate "Euro-style," or top-optional, pools, with half-naked girls cavorting in the water...

Michael Politz's "The Vegas Eye" Article Sets Mood For Skipping Work On Fridays At The Palms Pool Party
The following was freely borrowed from Michael Politz's latest Tuesday May 8th edition of "The Vegas Eye"...
There is much for the eye to see here. Check out The Vegas Eye site for more exciting articles
What's Your Excuse?
Weather be damned, nearly two thousand locals braved the overcast weather to help The Palms launch their weekly pool party, Ditch Fridays last Friday afternoon. The promotion that taunts locals to ditch their cubicles and desks in favor of cabanas and chaise lounges got off to a great start and is expected to continue building momentum in coming weeks. With Palms owner George Maloof walking the pool deck, playing host and buying cocktails for locals eager to get an early start on the weekend, it's clear that the Palms and N9NE Group are set on making Ditch one of the city's most popular on-going promotions.
"This year we have lots of special surprises," said N9NE marketing maven Mike Fuller, "Right Gin will have three cabanas throughout the entire summer because there is a right way to ditch Fridays,"Fuller continued using the clever marketing slogan Right Gin is promoting.
"We will be using the bungalow's for different things throughout the summer and the upper pool is being created as a VIP area for industry locals and the radio contest winners."
In Right Gin's private area, chaise lounges and cabanas adorned with the Right logo offer industry decision makers a serious place to party in the sun while a private bartender makes complimentary Right Gin cocktails. As we did last week, the Eye has a limited amount of passes to the Right Gin cabanas for eligible industry professionals.
