| - Up to now, this Wet Republic appears to still be the place to be and be seen. You'll find a long, long line to get in if you don't get here early enough. If you're with a group of girls and get yourself on the VIP list, at least it'll cut your wait time a ton. You still have to get your bag "raped" by security to make sure that you don't bring anything unacceptable, which apparently includes inflatable animals as well! This can take awhile since us girls often bring beach bags with touch up make up, chapstick, extra clothes, you name it, we "like to be prepared," But when it's 115 degrees outside at the end of June, damn! Any length of time is too long to be waiting in line.
The water itself was also quite warm. It wasn't quite as relievingly refreshing as I'd hoped it be. Maybe that was a subtle ploy to get people to buy the $20-30 frozen drinks, which my friends did thoroughly enjoy!
Great place to people watch! After all, people are in their designer swimwear and are there to party, so there was never a shortage of entertaining displays of pick up lines and dancing. Wet Republic hosts such well known artists, like Tiesto and Calvin Harris, on certain days so it's awesome to enjoy their music and see them in person and in action!
I must admit though, being spoiled is definitely the way to go here. Getting a cabana may be worth the splurge so you have a place to chill once you're tired of being in the water and just want to kick back and have great service with the great looking staff!
