This is the storied epicenter of single life in Scottsdale since 2008. WET is the week-end pool party held on the second floor of the Starwood's W Hotel, Scottsdale. A bouncer guards a velvet rope at the foot of an open stairway that rises to a bar with misters, a large pool with infinity edge gutters, and lots of large cushioned lounges. Private cabanas with bottle service can be reserved for $350 a day. The party goes on from 11 AM to 5 PM. Live, popular DJs provide a club beat that greets anyone arriving at the W. Expect a young crowd (Are those girls really old enough to drive? Are those guys cutting class?) strutting fit and often enhanced bodies in revealing suits, large floppy hats, designer sunglasses, and high heels. And of course, reality show worthy TV tans.
All that WET scene seems like a whole lot more work than when I was 18.
