You guys, it is hot outside.
I’m talking seriously steaming. (Has anyone tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk yet?) And nothing cools us off quite like a dip in the pool, amirite?
And even though swimming means your hair may look subpar, your cohorts will likely forget if you’re attending one of these wet and wild hotel pool parties.
So before summer slips through your fingers, take an end-of-the-season vacay and get your party hats on—and perhaps your top off.
Rehab Sundays At The Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas
If there were only one infamous pool party, it would have to be the Sunday Rehab affair held at the Hard Rock Hotel—nine years in the making, this wet fest features oil-slathered tan bodies, a scantily-clad waitstaff and what we imagine are tons of bodily fluids floating around those waters. (TMI? But we’ve seen them exchanged.)
The grotto pool features two sandy beaches and will cost you a pretty penny for entrance alone: $100 for the boys, $50 for the girls. Staying at the Hard Rock? You’re in for free—but don’t think that doesn’t mean you won’t have to wait in the (oftentimes quite long) entrance line. But once you’re in, the party is known to bring in renowned DJs from across the globe including Tiesto (who kicked off the party’s 2012 season), Paul Oakenfold, and Bad Boy Bill.
Plunge At The Perry, South Beach
Held on the hotel’s rooftop, RX kicked off in February (because those Floridians are oh-so-lucky with their weather) and has hosted the likes of the Kardashians, party girl Tara Reid, Lil’ Wayne, and Ne-Yo—not to mention a slew of celebrity DJs.
From noon till 8 p.m. on Saturdays, expect the Perry South Beach rooftop’s plunge pool (and namesake club Plunge) to be hopping with a young, hipster crowd. Should you not wanna get wet (not that we really understand that, hang out in one of the shaded daybeds that boast their own flat-screen TVs.
Wet Republic At The MGM Grand, Las Vegas
Ladies, this party is unofficially for you: Women get in free to this happening Vegas bash, while the men need to pony up $20 to check out the wild (and we mean wild) scene. Get in early though, as this discount is usually axed by 2 p.m. when the real crowds start rolling in.
And despite the large group the party attracts (keep in mind, the MGM Grand also has the largest number of rooms in Vegas), waitress service is surprisingly speedy—which means you’ll have a piña colada in your hands ASAP. When our reporter visited, there wasn’t only a bikini content underway, but also an electro-pop smash duo LMFAO held a rousing pool-side concert. Did we mention there are cabanas to rent for a little (sexy) privacy?
