Your End of Season Vegas Pool Guide

Surely you already know that hanging poolside in Vegas doesn’t mean sunbathing with a couple of fashion mags and sipping a Pellegrino. Out here, the pool scene is high energy, high fashion savvy and usually spiked with vodka.

It’s only fair to fill you in on the best spots to party poolside. Right?

WHO: Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan

WHY IT’S WORTH IT: Did someone say three-story Bungalow Lofts and plunge pools? Yep. Cosmo Grand Cabanas are steep in cost, worth the luxey experience. If you’re not ready to shell out the dollars, you’ll still have a memorable time at this party. It’s the only pool scene that’s sits high above the Las Vegas Strip. It’s the newest, so that’s reason enough to show up.

WHO: Nikki Beach at Tropicana Las Vegas

WHY IT’S WORTH IT: It’s South Beach by way of Las Vegas and that’s super hot. No other pool in this town offers such a lush and sultry scene or one that moves from day to night. There’s outdoor gaming and savory bites from Cafe Nikki.

WHO: Encore Beach Club at Encore

WHY IT’S WORTH IT: Because you can’t not love anything that Wynn associated. This is the see and be seen scene. It’s ultra-extravagant and sophisticated. It features floating lilypads and daybeds along with a rich collection of cabanas. There’s poolside gaming, sexy cocktails and a plethora of beautiful people. Because really, that does matter.

WHO: Sunday Scene at Palms Place

WHY IT’S WORTH IT: This spot makes the grade because it manages to set itself apart from the other locales by being a tad bit subdued (in a good way). If, by the powers that be you wake up before 2pm on Sunday, you can head to “Sunday Scene” and score poolside brunch from Simon. Not to mention you can order cocktails while you float and listen to appropriate pool beats.
