In terms of size and energy, it's hard to beat Wet Republic at the MGM Grand. If you can bear the long lines to get in and the TSA-style security check, you'll enjoy a wild atmosphere with champagne showers, beautiful model-like servers, and a rowdy party crowd. The entertainment doesn't get much bigger or better with Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, and Kaskade among the headliners. A whopping 53,000 square feet in size, Wet Republic boasts the two largest salt water pools on the Strip and is surrounded by 18 daybeds, 10 cabanas, and six bungalows. If you need to recover from the chaos, take a ride on the lazy river next store at the hotel pool complex.

By night, Marquee is one of the hottest nightclubs on the Strip. By day, Marquee Dayclub offers something for everyone. The weekend pool parties are high-energy affairs with bikini beauties lounging near private dipping pools in front of the cabanas. The DJs aren't as "big name" as those you'll find at some of the other clubs, but they definitely keep the party on track. Come by during the week, Monday-Thursday, and the scene is far less chaotic. The entry fee is waived and you can lounge by the pool while enjoying pizzas, sushi, and other bites from the menu. You might even be allowed to hang in an empty cabana without booking one - but don't quote us on that. When winter comes around, the "Marquee Dome" is erected to keep the party going regardless of cold temperatures. No matter when you're here, the most luxurious way to enjoy Marquee Dayclub is by booking one of the three-story bungalows, which come their own private party decks overlooking the pool. Think of them as a vacation home and cabana rolled up in one.

Tao nightclub, Tao Beach is a poolside oasis that's kept private, exclusive, and separate from the rest of sprawling pool complex at the Venetian & Palazzo resorts. Tao Beach makes the most of its Asian theme, with stylish decor and menu bites that include sushi, edamame, and Korean-style chicken wings. The pool is surrounded by 12 luxury cabanas, decked out to the fullest with air conditioning, HD plasma televisions, Xbox systems, custom mini-fridges, towels, and terry cloth robes. Poolside massages and other treatments are available from the team at nearby Canyon Ranch SpaClub. Even some of the daybeds have their own personal mini fridges. Ladies are welcome to show a little skin Monday-Wednesday when topless European-style sunbathing is permitted.

As the only pool at a Las Vegas strip club, the Sapphire Pool & Dayclub has evolved from a naughty novelty to a daytime party spot that competes with many of the more high-profile offerings on the Strip. After tweaking out some of the legalities, topless sunbathing has returned - for both guests and staff. (Pasties available upon request.) The menu has seen recent improvements and social media stars are often invited to host parties. Perhaps best of all, parking is easy and free. If you haven't visited in a while, it's time to plan a return, book a cabana and see what the latest version of Sapphire is all about.

Bare is more intimate than your average dayclub and best known for topless sunbathing. Surrounded by towering palm trees, the venue is sensual and charming although it's probably overdue for a few upgrades and renovations. Regardless, It remains a welcome retreat from the chaos of the Mirage's main pool complex with beautiful people enjoying the sun and sipping on tropical cocktails. The staff is sexy and the space features two dipping pools surrounded by six cabanas and plenty of daybeds.
Encore Beach
The 60,000-square-foot Encore Beach Club is an exciting and indulgent playground with a three-tiered pool complex and showers in the middle where the ladies can cool off and dance to the beats. Daybeds tucked around the pool feature private safes where you can stash your valuables. Lily pads rest in shallow water for soaking in the rays. The 26 cabanas surrounding the pool come with refrigerators and flat-screen televisions. However, for the most luxurious option, book one of the eight 350-square-foot two-story bungalows with views of the Strip. Each one features hot tubs, showers, lavish furnishings and temperature-controlled cooling and heating systems. While other dayclubs have swim-up blackjack games, EBC actually has a full-on pavilion for table games. No expense is spared on the DJ lineup, which is heavy on chart-topping DJs like the Chainsmokers, Kygo, and Marshmello. This is also probably the best pool party for celebrity sightings in Las Vegas. Even UFC champ Conor McGregor was given a "residency" as a party host. Evening Nightswim parties are Thursday-Saturday.

Venus is a welcome adult alternative to the sprawling Garden of the Gods pool complex at Caesars Palace. Its white décor suggests serenity and luxury while the green shrubbery secures privacy and intimacy for topless bathing. If you don't have a cabana or daybed, the space can feel a little too small at times, but admission is free and VIP accommodations are reasonable. So plan ahead, secure a hookup and enjoy the endless supply of fruit, cocktails and frozen towels. The atmosphere is relaxing during the week, but can get a little rowdy on weekends. Either way, the DJs seem to be ready with exactly what you want to hear.
