We’re pooling our knowledge here today as we get the swimmers out and say Viva Splash Vegas.
Not that we’d intend to do much swimming as Las Vegas is all about the poolside parties.
So it’s good to see that our old stomping ground of the Venetian Palazzo is on the list of poolside parties.
Sent to us by our party pals from Neon City.
Trunk call
Our swimmers, trunks and togs have been everywhere with us.
The lengths and breadths of the world, the one luxury item all of us pack in our suitcases.
Except we always forget something and apart from money swimmers are the one thing we will definitely need in Vegas.
Which is how I came to be in a Wal-Mart off the Strip buying said forgotten item, a pair of Stars and Stripes string shorts.
Where Miss America happened to be appearing for our delectation and my photo album.
Top of the deck
The Palazzo Pool Deck at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas features multiple pools and hot tubs.
As well as cabanas for up to 24 guests and stacked with luxurious amenities, such as HD TVs.
Nibble on coastal cuisine as you sip a cold-pressed juice or bottomless Bellinis or sangria from the deck’s CAPRI Restaurant & Bar.
Vegas’s pool season runs from March to October.
Sounds like our party
Of course poolside parties can be loud, raucous affairs so you’ll be wanting to check out the sounds.
Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas is billed as a three-pool oasis that frequently hosts superstars like The Chainsmokers and Diplo.
TAO Beach at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas offers an Asian-inspired decor with a top-tier sound system, elaborate poolside menu.
And performances by A-list talent like Alesso and Fisher.
The club offers two cabana options, as well as the Side Chef Experience, where guests can indulge in elevated selections.
Like A5 Wagyu, lamb and tomahawk steaks, all served tableside.
Both Encore Beach Club and TAO Beach are open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Road to Mandalay
The Mandalay Bay Resort meanwhile boasts the DAYLIGHT Beach Club spanning 50,000sqft.
With a massive main pool, VIP cabanas and private spa pools.
Themed events such as Soaked Saturdays and LIT Sundays bring high-energy DJ sets.
While NEON VIBRA, a Latin night swim starting in May, transforms the space into a reggaeton-fueled party.
Go with the Flow
Or if you really want to turn up the adrenaline The Scene Pool Deck at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino has an old fave we know.
From Celebrity Cruises in Barcelona, catching a wave on the FlowRider.
Hanging ten right in the middle of the Strip!
Hang with the cool crowd
And sports fans won’t want to miss Stadium Swim atCirca Resort & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas.
The 21+ pool amphitheater boasts six pools, swim-up bars and a 40ft tall HD screen displaying the biggest games of the day.
All with unbeatable views of Fremont Street where we’ve hung out on their zip wire.
Now whichever pool party you dip your toe in be sure to make the most of it.
Because it is Viva Splash Vegas.
