Becoming acclimated to the Vegas heat is a chore for this midwesterner, and I have been craving some pool action. What better method of meeting Vegas singles and cooling off at the same time than finding a topless pool in Vegas? A plethora of Vegas party pools exists, with select pools being topless, or European-style. I safely assume the topless party pools in Vegas are the most fun and the ideal place to meet fellow locals seeking solace from the heat in a celebrated setting.
In an effort to select the hottest topless pool in Vegas, I conducted some research. There are not as many as I’d assumed, and I have been making the determination on which would be my ideal inaugural inception into the Vegas party pool scene.
What I have learned about entry to topless pools in Vegas is that cover charges and amenity costs vary greatly depending on location, day of the week and even gender. Those wanting to book a hotel with a topless pool in Las Vegas should verify fees, if any, for guests.
The Skinny on Vegas’ Topless Pool
Topless pools in Vegas were introduced in the late 90s when Caesar’s Palace launched the Venus Pool Club. Initially, it was not widely publicized. The adults-only venue was an intimate hideaway for those in-the-know. Today, Vegas’ topless pools remain somewhat elusive and entirely exclusive with cabanas-for-rent costing in the hundreds. Luxe lounging fees can be avoided by not renting a posh cabana or shaded daybed. Most establishments offer drink and food credits in conjunction with rental fees, so depending on the number of guests in one’s party, a cabana may not be a huge expenditure.
Topless Las Vegas Pool Misconception
Topless is not synonymous with perversion. Guests are expected to act with propriety and leave their salacious impulses and cameras at the door. While locations vary as far as how rowdy revelers become, all are to act in accordance with regulations.
All seem to operate professionally, and everyone I spoke to had favorable remarks for all topless pools in Vegas with the exception of Sapphire. This pool is operated by the same entity that runs the Sapphire gentlemen’s club. What friends have described about the venue is that strippers are on-site to entertain and entice, but for exorbitant fees. The only positive note about Sapphire is that they do offer free limo service from one’s hotel to the pool. Of course, they are offsetting that free limo ride with costly drinks and amenities.
For those who don’t mind dropping some cash in conjunction with having a poolside playmate, I’d recommend requesting the company of an independent escort. A bikini-clad companion focusing all her attentions on the man she’s accompanying is quite honestly a better value and a lot more fun. While I’m hardly a courtesan connoisseur, you can read here about my sole Vegas escort experience, as these ladies come highly recommended.
Naked at Artisan
Naked offers up generous hours from 8 am to 10 pm daily. Decorated in an exotic decor of red, black and tan, the chill atmosphere is enhanced by a changing lineup of weekend DJs, great drinks and a free cover for Vegas locals unless there is a special event happening. I respect them giving some love to locals since paying for pricey poolside drinks is easier to justify when a cover charge is not imposed.
Bare Pool at The Mirage
Bare does not grant locals free entry on Saturdays but does on Mondays. I have learned this is a great place to meet Vegas locals and boasts an intimate setting for those seeking to dabble in daytime debauchery. A co-worker insists they have the best bloody marys in Las Vegas and a hot waitstaff serving them. The palm tree-enclosed space allows topless guests to cavort in two luxury dipping pools while sipping summertime libations in lush cabanas or while shaded in poolside daybeds.
Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay
Moorea offers the ideal setting for a single man in Las Vegas given the always free entry for ladies at this hot spot. Women outnumbering men is the ideal setting in my opinion! This *toptional* pool in Vegas is the premier place to party, but it will set you back a bit as the price of cabanas and daybeds do not include drink and food offerings.
Venus Pool Club at Caesar’s Palace
Given Venus Pool Club’s distinction of having been the first semi-nude pool in Las Vegas, it seems befitting that it is more laid-back than its uproarious descendants. Single guys are not welcome on Saturdays from noon until six, when only couples and single females are free to frolic. This is a disappointment as many have bragged up Venus’ relaxed atmosphere, air conditioned bar and talented resident DJs, and my day to play is always Saturday. Venus Pool Club is an excellent alternative to those wild Vegas pool parties where the majority of the crowd is under 30 and quite clamorous.
European Pools at Wynn and Encore
The upscale topless pools at Wynn and Encore are reserved for hotel guests, but are worth mentioning to visitors who are looking for a Vegas hotel with an adults-only pool. Keeping in step with Wynn’s first-class flavor, the pools are equally well-appointed affording guests a sophisticated scene to dare to be bare.
Regardless what pool is selected, it’s going to be a great time because this is Las Vegas! You cannot top off summer at a topless pool at home, so may as well while you’re in Sin City. Locals, look for deals on Las Vegas pool parties as they are out there. I am eager and excited to sample each of these to counteract the scorcher that is the month of August in Las Vegas.
