| - My liver spotted hands are really struggling with conveying what my feeble brain is thinking about with how to rate Wet Republic, so I am going to give it 3 stars based on what the target party go-ers would be interested in not how my experience went. There are links below to 2 reviews which I think are the most helpful if you are planning on going. Note: a lot of people give the security people a hard time for being dick-ish, but if I had to babysit the crowd at Wet Republic, I'd be the same way - lol.
We came to Vegas for a party weekend. We went to Hakkasan Friday and Saturday night and were there until they closed. We bought tickets for Steve Aoki in advance through Electronic Vegas/Want Tickets website. http://electronic-vegas.com/vegas-edm-event-calendar/ . I highly recommend you do this because there is a BIG difference between a Will-Call and Pre-Sale tickets. With the latter, which are tickets you actually pay for in advance, you skip the first set of lines which are LONG.
That said, we hobbled passed the 100's baking in the sun just waiting to get in to pay. They are super strict about what you wear, especially guys. Guys do not wear any shorts over your swim trunks as they won't let you in unless you take them off right there in line. Girls the less the better it seemed.
Anyway, we got into the second line which was INSANELY LONG, too and I truly felt like I was on a school trip to the water park. 70% of the people are in their 20's and 20% in their early 30's, the other 10% like us thought it would be fun and were 40+ and willing to give it a go. Well, after about 1 minute in the 2nd line and being told we have all our stuff "checked" for a fee, we bailed. It just wasn't comfortable. Don't get me wrong, we are not prudish, we club regularly and "roll" with the best of them, but this scene was definitely like a big frat party. If we were still into frat parties it would have been great.
So, we fired up the HoverRounds and left out the back way. We had sat by the back Wet Republic emergency/security exit under the misters at the Lazy River pool the last two days and watched person after person being wheeled out by paramedics and a few escorted by the police (Sheriffs and hotel security). We sat there again this day and were able to enjoy the music, the lazy river, have our stuff with us and it was all good. We watched as quite a few of the 40+ crowd bailed out the back as well, but some braved the scene and I hope they had fun.
Know before you go....
- No joke, it's a 20-something's frat party (either you like that or you don't)
- It's expensive once inside
- Buy your tickets ahead of time and skip the line
- enjoy yourself, you only live once
These two reviews sum things up really well:
