Daydreams swirl around in our minds of poolside lounging and dipping into cool waters. Just as Las Vegas has become one of the world’s top destinations for exceptional nightlife, so too, has daylife become a must for visitors. With an abundance of dayclub experiences—whether it be wet and wild or laid-back and lounging—there’s a daylife experience to suit any person’s poolside partying preferences. Normally pool season would be in full swing, but with our new normal we wait with bated breath for the country, our city, to be back up and running and open for business. Until that day comes, we reminisce about the 10 dayclubs we can’t wait to return.

1. Wet Republic at MGM Grand This dayclub is one poolside party to remember. With world-renowned DJs taking to the decks and more than 50,000 square feet of options on how your party will lounge for the day, Wet Republic is a Vegas must-do. A recent redesign of the dayclub included upgrades to the luxurious VIP bungalows with private dipping pools, deluxe cabanas and daybeds, the open-air lounge and bar and two swimming pools. The latest in technology was also implemented including a new sound system that rivals the best nightclubs as well as the installation of a stunning 4,000 square-foot LED display above the artist’s performance space.

2. Jemaa – The NoMad Pool Party at Park MGM When the elevators open onto the rooftop pool deck of Park MGM guests are whisked away to another world. With bohemian décor that oozes luxury and is reminiscent of seaside escapes like the Mediterranean or Amalfi Coast, this intimate pool club plays host to themed parties, DJs and live entertainment. The opposite of the crazy mega pool parties, Jemaa is a more laid-back, upscale experience where food and drink are handcrafted and indulgent.

3. Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay This dayclub hot spot has been a go-to topless pool experience for more than a decade. It’s hidden and secluded location near Mandalay Bay’s massive beach gives it that best-kept secret appeal. Once inside, guests have many options for lounging including a main pool, dipping pools, private pavilion with villas, daybeds, opium beds, and a long bar with lots of seating and views of the DJ booth.

Bare @ Mirage

4. Bare Pool Lounge at The Mirage Another long-running topless pool experience, Bare is truly a secluded, intimate dayclub. With a main rectangular pool surrounded by daybeds, guests can also splurge for a daybed located on an elevated, private deck with its own pool. The tropical surroundings of palms trees and lush gardens make this an Eden-like escape with upscale food and drink offerings.

5. Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay A huge stage for live performances is the main focal point of this dayclub. Surrounding open-air cabanas and oversized daybeds are available for those partiers that want the VIP experience, but a main spot is the large pool that allows for great sightlines of the stage. And the stage plays host to live hip-hop performances including such artists like Rick Ross, Saweetie and T-Pain, as well as big-name EDM artists including Duke Dumont and Ookay.

6. GO Pool Dayclub at Flamingo Nestled among the property’s 15-acre tropical retreat, GO Pool offers a fun and laid-back party atmosphere with a large pool and cascading waterfall. Daybeds are nestled right against the waters and a stage for live performances has welcomed musical artists from all genres of music including hip-hop, country and pop. The mix of guests make this pool party a welcoming break from the jet-set scene and the weekly pool party games and live DJs always gets everyone to join in the fun.

7. Drai’s Beachclub at The Cromwell With views up and down the Las Vegas Strip and towering palm trees, two large pools and some of the largest, most luxurious bungalows with private dipping pools, Drai’s Beachclub is another dayclub must-do for the season. Popular DJs and live performers also fill the roster like DJ Pauly D, Luke Shay and DJ Shift. The 35,000 square-foot resort-style pool also offers multiple bar areas serving upscale food and drinks.

8. Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria This intimate dayclub offers a main pool deck with an open-air bar and lounge area and then an elevated section with private pool for the eight oversized cabanas. With more than a dozen newly installed daybeds that sit near the waters and new L-shaped banquettes, there’s plenty of room to relax under the sun after taking a dip. Liquid also offers a menu of popular specialty eats like mahi mahi tacos and coconut shrimp and fruity summer cocktails that you can order by the pitcher.

9. Influence, The Pool at The Linq Hotel Daybeds surround the perimeter of the pool and lily pad daybeds and submerged lounge chairs dot the waters. This dayclub offers some fun and games throughout the week including beer pong and pool tables. The main pool hosts all the in-the-water action while a smaller above-ground pool with see-through walls is located in a more laid-back, elevated area. There are 10 grand cabanas for those that want to splurge (although these prices are some of the best for a pool cabana). And, if being poolside is all you want to do during your trip, think about booking one of the cabana rooms with patios that open right on to the pool deck that comes with personalized cabana staff service during your stay.

Radius Rooftop Pool & Lounge

10. Radius Rooftop Pool and Wet Lounge at The STRAT What’s cool about this rooftop dayclub is you can enjoy it at night, too. Evening hours make this pool club a true day-into-night escape. Radius also offers awesome views of the famed STRAT tower and from 25 stories up you can also enjoy panoramic views of the Vegas valley’s surrounding mountains. And, don’t forget that the dayclub also offers European-style sunbathing (top-optional).
