Get Wet: Vegas Pools Dip Into a New Season

Summer in Las Vegas is finally here and the introduction of three new experiences will elevate the city's all-star lineup of pools this season - Delano Beach Club, ARIA Sky Pool and Monte Carlo's Sensation. Whether sun-lovers are in search of a pulsating summer bash, an escape to a serene oasis or an exclusive place to unwind, there's something to fit everyone's poolside style.

RELAXING ESCAPES

A stylish retreat. Exclusive to Delano Las Vegas guests and non-guests who have reserved cabanas, Delano Beach Club offers a stylish retreat that echoes the understated elegance, whimsical touches and exceptional service of The Strip's newest hotel. An oversized chess board submerged in water adds to the playful energy while tree-strung hammocks create a relaxed and refined beach club vibe reminiscent of South Beach. Chaise lounges and private cabanas line the perimeter of the pool, providing a chic spot to bask in the sun while savoring delectable eats and signature cocktails.

An exclusive hideaway. This summer, guests of ARIA Sky Suites will experience a new level of exclusivity at the all new Sky Pool. Dedicated poolside therapists will cater to guests' every whim with massages or other spa services from the comfort of their own chaise lounge chairs. Complete with a private entrance, the lavish hideaway features an exclusive Sky Pool menu including summertime drinks like the Frozen Mudslide - a tantalizing combination of Selvary Cacao Rum, Bailey's and Kahlua.

A Mediterranean garden. Surrounded by lush citrus trees, landscaped gardens and hand-carved stone fountains, guests will feel like royalty summering in Italy as they bask in the sun at Bellagio's Cypress Pool. Nestled within an intimate private garden, plush personal daybeds offer the ultimate escape, complemented by elite personal service and amenities including massages, chilled towels and refreshing smoothies.

The best of both worlds. Making its debut in May, Monte Carlo's Sensation offers guests the ultimate, yet approachable, VIP experience. Equipped with a private bar, daybeds and seating sets, Sensation is designed to provide an elite feel for those looking to escape the usual poolside crowds. Sensation guests feeling a little more ambitious are invited to enjoy Monte Carlo's Party Pit, which provides a high-energy atmosphere with a variety of DJs and musical guests.

POOL PARTIES

EDM fans rejoice. A mecca for discerning dayclub-goers, WET REPUBLIC at MGM Grand continues to be a top choice for poolside debauchery and the go-to pick for EDM fans. Large saltwater pools and intimate dipping pools highlighted by daybeds, tricked-out bungalows and cabanas create a stay-all-day party vibe. With a world class DJ lineup including Afrojack, Ti�sto, Calvin Harris, Steve Aoki and more, summer 2015 promises to make the biggest splash yet.

Take the party from day to night. DAYLIGHT Beach Club at Mandalay Bay offers an unmatched party destination under the sun or stars. Sun-seekers can take in unobstructed views of the elevated stage where world-renowned DJs spin the hottest beats or lounge on a daybed or private cabana while enjoying signature cocktails and cuisine. Nighttime revelers will delight in the ultimate outdoor nightlife experience with ECLIPSE.

Lose inhibitions and tan lines. Las Vegas' "toptional" pools - Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay and Bare Pool Lounge at The Mirage - invite guests to shed layers and inhibitions within unique and sophisticated settings. Overlooking lush waterfall gardens and a sandy beach, Moorea Beach Club creates an alluring environment to experience the stylish side of European sunbathing. At Bare Pool Lounge, guests can relax beneath towering palms as DJ-spun music sets the tone for a playful and energetic party.
