| - My friends and I had a fantastic time at Daylight!!! Great music, and the nicest staff that we've come across yet. A lot of reviewers are complaining about prices, but, let's be honest - Vegas dayclubs are all expensive, aren't they? Go to a regular pool at your hotel if you are looking for a cheap day.
Venue - Pool was a decent size. I like that this isn't as large as EBC/Wet Republic. It was easy to walk around but larger than Marquee. It's a little bit awkward that the view is of the convention center when you are in the pool, but did love the stage setup. Great music. Didn't have a big headlining DJ the days we went, but still pretty impressive.
Entry - We decided to pitch in for a daybed as we had a group going (I HIGHLY recommend this at any dayclub if you can swing it. If you are paying anything in admission and buying 3 or 4 drinks it's typically not that much more for a daybed and you have a home base/easy entry). When we were walked in by a host, we were surprised with a cabana upgrade, same minimum as a daybed. This was a Friday, but still a great sign that they are more interested in customer service than letting a cabana sit empty for no reason on a slower day. The shade and fans were key on a 100+ degree Vegas day! They also comped us some extra headcount on our reservation.
Staff - SO AWESOME. Knowing nothing about Daylight, I hopped online to check out the venue. I called the promotions number to inquire about daybed/cabana minimums. I had an instant email/call back from the head promoter to talk options and decided on the daybed. Super easy to work with, no "Vegas" attitude. While we were at the venue, he checked on us a few times. Our waitress, butler, and security were also very attentive and tracked us down extra Daylight squirt guns upon request :-) With service like we had, spending some extra money was actually pretty painless.
Crowd - Overall ,pretty good. Friday was of course less crowded than the usual. We also dropped by toward the end of the day on Saturday (comped entry since we were guests at Mandalay), and it was PACKED with lots of pretty people. The crowd was also really friendly and we made tons of new friends both days.
Costs - Like I said, it's not cheap. No good clubs are, my friends. However, drinks were fairly strong, and, in the cabana, we found the pitchers to be a pretty darn good deal (got about 6-7 drinks out of a $75 pitcher of delicious drinks like Moscow Mules and fruity strawberry lemonades). However, I do think that the $8 waters were a bit absurd. People need to stay hydrated on a boozy, hot day, and expecting $8 for a fairly small bottle full of a natural resource is a bit greedy.
Overall - We will be back, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun new venue without the normal pretentiousness of a big Vegas dayclub.
