Where can I get in without board shorts?

Where can I get in with some regular shorts? I don't understand the big deal on why board shorts are required...

Which pool parties don't require them?

Not any of the good ones. Maybe one of the normal pools.

Are you looking for a party at a pool? Or just a place to relax outdoors and get some sun?

I'll be honest, if you're looking for the former, you're probably better off splurging the $50/$60 (translation, 3-5 drinks in Vegas, or cover plus 1-2 drinks) for boardshorts and check out some of the hot spots.

You're going to a POOL party... so swimsuits are the appropriate attire. Not sure why you'd want to wear khaki shorts to an environment where the most fun is had while wading and socializing.

Per Wat's suggestion, hell man... go to kohls. I picked up a pair of $20 Tony Hawk boardshorts that I actually liked and got several compliments on them while at Daylight. Don't even need to drop $50-60.

I'm curious as to the reason for your aversion to wearing swimwear to a pool party.

My guess would be the lack of pockets.

My boardshorts have pockets......I fit cash, credit card, room key and drivers license....Standard Hurley boardshorts....

I'm guessing he means why board shorts in particular rather than any other type of shorts that are suitable for the pool? I think the latter should OK shouldn't they? I.e. your shorts can be above the knee?

As long as it's swimwear, yeah. There are pictures out there of guys @ pool parties wearing something similar to Speedos.

Alternatively, you can spring for bottle service and your range of acceptable wardrobe @ the pool party becomes wider.

I've never gone in the pool at a Vegas pool party if memory serves. I always wear shorts. guess i'm a bit lucky with the only time 1 was stopped for no swim suit I was with someone involved with the party and they let me slide.

It's not about not wanting to wear board shorts. I've actually already bought 4 pairs of board shorts strictly for Vegas trips.

I just like to be very particular with my outfits and don't want to be forced to one of those board shorts EVERY time.

And I don't want to get in the pools... so I don't see why they force me to wear board shorts.

If you're putting together outfits for the pool....

If you're that damn serious about your fashion get another pair of trunks.

^ i can't find any board shorts that are highly desirable.

Solution: Drop serious money on a minimum for a cabana/bed and wear nearly whatever you want!

Are you also worried about your hair and makeup getting ruined?
Please post some pics of your various "pool outfits".
Are you going to wear a blazer with shorts?
Will your fanny pack match your shoes?

^stfu.

as long as you wear board shorts underneath whatever shorts you want to wear you'll be fine.
