| - Partaking in day life was one of the things I really wanted to do on my trip to Vegas. Mission accomplished.
Day life is not for everyone. If going clubbing is not your thing then you really won't be interested in day clubbing. Wet Republic is one of the many club day pools in Las Vegas. Wet Republic is the day club for MGM. I believe MGM guests have the privilege to get into line early as well as free or reduced entry. Just like any clubbing in Las Vegas it is wise to show up early and get on the guest list. This will increase your chances of getting in for free or a discounted price.
When planning your trip you need to be on the same page with all of the people going with you. Day life can be crazy and it can get expensive. If you're all not clear on what to expect then certain people within your party are bound to have a less than ideal experience. I would start by reading as many reviews on Yelp as you can. This will give you a good idea of the good and the bad. I will try and outline a few things here but my experience, like many others here, will be different than the one you may experience.
1. Show up early
Like I said showing up early will help your cause. You will avoid the rush and perhaps be serviced by the Wet Republic members before they encounter some other rowdy party goers.
2. Get on a guest list or some type of guaranteed entry
The guest list is the cheapest option but may not guarantee you entry for free. If you follow rule one being on the guest list will only help your situation. If you disregard rule one then the guest list might not be as valuable of an asset. If you want to show up later then I would recommend purchasing tickets or reserving a cabana. If you are choosing the latter then you might not have any need to read the rest of my review as I don't know how that experience will be. If you choose to purchase tickets than you will have to fork over a good amount of money. Remember that drinks are not cheap so you will be spending even more money upon entrance.
3. Dress the part
Visit the Wet Republic website or again read reviews here to make sure that you are dressed properly. Much like a night club, this day club is all about being fashionable. You must wear cover ups to get in but bathing suits are obviously encouraged after entering. Guys cannot wear regular gym shorts over or under swim trunks. You must wear swim trunks. Woman need to wear cover up items and again this is a fashion day club experience so don't be surprised if some people look like they are ready to hit the runway.
4. Bring little
They do have lockers and they may be affordable if you are coming in a large group but for $40 you may want to try and bring as little as possible. If you don't show up early enough to stake out a spot on the edge of the pool then you may have no other option. There are no places to sit or stand besides the pool, poolside, and the bar. When I say sit I mean on the ground. All other seating is only available for parties who have reserved cabanas. So, I would just stick to bringing the clothes on your back, your phone, wallet(credit card) and that's it. Anything additional leaves the chance to be dropped in the pool, lost, or stolen.
5. The crowd
The day I went was quite timid and I was there early and left early so I missed the large crowd. I think this may be one of the better ways of doing day life if you are not the clubbing type. Realizing the above, that there is no space and nowhere to sit/stand, you will be surrounded by people in the pool splashing everywhere and floating around drunk. The water is dirty but most pools are dirty. This just happens to form a thin film on the top of the water. It is gross but it is not like you are swimming in this water. There is a DJ and the music will be loud. People may be dancing and splashing water. It is a really fun experience that is only available in Las Vegas.
Finally, I suggest that you try and just let go. Have a good time and hope for the best. If you are a hard time party goer than you will be prepared for this but if not it might be a surprise for you. The drinks are expensive (have I said that yet?) but you have to get the $40 huge plastic cup drink. I consider it a souvenir cup but I did see staff cleaning up stray cups so beware. For this drink you can get whatever you want in it. I know it sounds like a dream come true. Any drink you want in a huge cup for only $40. Okay maybe $40 is a lot but again it is a must do at least once no matter where you are in Vegas. I chose to get a blue mother(you know the rest) and it was awesome. Money semi-well spent and a really good time.
*I came during the world cup final and they had the game on the huge jumbo tron that spans the front of the DJ booth area.
