| - Let's get real: If you're going to Wet Republic, it's not because you read Yelp reviews about the service, drinks, music, or prices. You're going because you're giving yourself fully to the Vegas party gods, no matter how inconvenient it may be.
With its crowds and ridiculous club-like mentality, Wet Republic is definitely not a place I'd think to go to on my own accord. But as part of a bachelorette party, I was game to follow along with whatever the bride-to-be and other bachelorettes wanted.
If you're not too hung over from the night before, I highly recommend getting there as early as possible. You'll avoid the lines and hopefully get a good spot by the pool without having to pay mucho dinero for a cabana or table. Better yet, get in touch with one of the many promoters who try to get groups on guest lists.
Positives: Good music (with famous DJs spinning quite often), a huge pool, very entertaining people watching.
Negatives: The drinks are outrageously expensive, and there are ridiculous little rules that you have to abide by, like not being allowed to even lean on the back of a VIP booth, crazy thorough searches (seriously, they'll take everything out of your wallet, open your lipstick, and confiscate all gum and mints).
The biggest negative though? The state of the pool after the party has been going for a few hours. The water is so dirty that it's practically opaque. Definitely not for the squeamish... but I have to admit it was a pretty fun time despite it!
