Pool Party Newbie Question

[ratmandu]

Hey everyone. I've always gone to Vegas during the off season so I've missed the pool party scene (or I was just oblivious to it during previous trips).

I'm 41, don't drink, and don't want to be stuck handing out with a bunch of 20-somethings all day. Is there anything about a pool party that would interest me?

If the answer to the above is no, how do I avoid them? Do they take over the entire pool area? Or can hotel guests still enjoy the pool of their hotel without having to pay an entrance fee (which I assume there is) to be surrounded by hundreds of partiers?

I'll be in Vegas on a Monday / Tues / Wednesday. If I want to avoid the pool party scene but still enjoy the pool, are there any hotels I should avoid?

Advice on the above very much appreciated.

I'm of the same age, and while I do drink, I'd probably still enjoy them for the music and general vibe. Now that being said.... Most hotels have separate pools that aren't "pool parties". You'd be fine with one of those if you're looking to just relax by the pool.

They are, after all, called pool PARTIES...haha

I hope that helps.

Gonna have to go with a firm "no" on this for you, unless you want to be THAT guy who stands around oogling hot women and not drinking.

The pool parties are always in their own area, separate from the regular hotel pool. Aside from the music bleeding into the non-party area, you'll never have any interaction with them.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I'll skip the pool parties :-)

the big pool parties days are saturday/sunday so your Monday / Tues / Wednesday trip is going to miss them anyway
also the big pool parties are separate venues from the hotel pools

bottom line: your gonna miss it, even if you were trying to go to them
