Inside Las Vegas

Las Vegas has garnered itself a reputation for being Sin City for reason: gambling, drinking, partying, all-night clubbing, generally dissolute behavior, and of course, a casual approach to nudity. For the boys, there are the compulsory visits to Spearmint Rhino, Sapphire, Treasures, and Hustler, but where do the girls go to sin in Sin City?

Topless pools or “euro style sunbathing” as it is called in press releases and other politically correct references, has been a growing trend in Vegas for the last few years. The topless pools offer something different than the legendary parties at Encore Beach Club, and Marquee Dayclub. It has become popular for the simple reason that it allows women to let loose and participate in the revelry of Sin City, having fun in the sun while feeling a little bit naughty.

Moorea Beach’s tagline “top-tional” has been seen all over billboards and advertisements around town, announcing their return to the topless optional experience that they offer, after a brief hiatus from European style sunbathing in 2010. “Top-tional” is back and better than ever with a “private, adult, upscale and sophisticated day-club experience.”

Venus Pool is brought to the Vegas Pool scene by Pure Management Group, the creators of Pure Nightclub at Caesar’s Palace and LAX Nightclub at The Luxor. It is known as a luxurious spot for enjoy a mojito and the freedom from bikini tops, featuring eleven cabanas, four couches, and fourteen daybeds and chaise lounge chairs.

Topless pools may come and go, but Bare has stayed at the top of its game. Bare at The Mirage encourages showing off and facilitates viewing others with its comparatively open plan. Despite the lack of discretion and modesty afforded here, Fergie, Britney Spears, Gretchen Rossi, and Courtney Love have all been seen here.

The aptly-named Naked Pool at Artisan Lounge is the newest offering in Euro-style sunbathing, carving out a unique niche for itself among the other topless pools in town; Michael Crandall, director of business affairs for the Siegel Group, the holding company for Artisan, explicates the vision for Naked Pool in an interview with USA Today; “”While at the mega-resorts you are stuffed into the pool crammed with bodies, our pool parties will offer a completely different feel and vibe… It’s about having a great place to chill for the day, have some drinks, enjoy great music, and escape from reality. No long lines and thousands of people.”

Tao Beach and other pools around town have gone through “experimental” phases, trying the top-tional style and then eventually favoring tradition; however, the pools that remain are keeping the Mediterranean spirit alive. All of the European style pools offer the opportunity to have some adult- style fun, as well as world-class service, superior drinks, and the ultimate in VIP treatment. Whether you’re looking for a fun new Sin City experience as a couple or you just want to feel like Brigitte Bardot for the day, the topless pools of Las Vegas are an unforgettable experience.

For anyone who buys bottles at the nightclubs in Las Vegas the location of the VIP table is of utmost importance to the VIP experience of it all. Every day and night in Las Vegas there are hot nightclubs and pool parties that offer VIP entry and premium seating for your group to party next to some of the sexiest party people on the strip. Special performances from superstar DJ’s and music’s biggest headline celebrities command top dollar for VIP table and bottle service reservations.

A question we often get asked is how to spend a Vegas nightclub minimum. Yes the first time a club host tells you there is a $5,000 minimum spend it may come as a shock. Bottle services reservations generally start around a $1,000 minimum spend or 2 premium bottles. With the $5k minimum you are faced with the idea of drinking 10 bottles at the club but that’s not it. Not only are you paying for the real estate but you’re paying to be part of the show. The dance floor tables in Las Vegas have the hottest cocktail servers in the club and the way you spend your huge bar tab with them is what makes you the rockstar of the party!

It is best to start the party with a Magnum bottle of vodka, a bottle of Patron (that’s right, shots all night), plenty of Red Bull and all the juices, sodas and tonics that anybody at your table may prefer. Your cocktail server will have different bottle presentation options depending on what you order. Your ridiculously large bottle of liquor will be delivered by a lineup of hottie cocktail servers with flashing lights, sparklers and surprises.

Las Vegas is also famous for spraying champagne and that’s exactly what happens when you are killing it in a $5k VIP table. The Vegas bottle poppers are usually pretty good at getting the champagne party going and there may even be specials on champagne that’s purchased for spraying rather than drinking. It’s usually best to put on the champagne show later in the night (after 2am) when the party is ready for it! It’s also not a bad idea to have a couple bottles of Perrier-Jouet Rose brought to your table for celebration, toasting and enjoying; don’t waste a drop of the delicious bubbly!

It is best to let the cocktail server lead the way, she knows how to have the coolest table at the club and if you treat her right she will make the night so much better for guys and girls. Any group that reserves a bottle service VIP table in Las Vegas needs to bring the party and make sure they are in tuned with the vibe of the club and their location in a dance floor VIP table.

The final aspect of the $5k table is the $5,000. That’s right, somebody has to pay the bill and it’s going to be more than $5,000. It is usually the case that the person paying the bill is comfortable with the amount and not allowing payment to put a damper on the experience. Gratuity is everything in Vegas so be prepared to be the big shot you signed up to be when you said yes to the $5,000 table! How do you do it? Start by slapping $100 on the doorman and $300 on the host that walks you in. Tip the security guard in your VIP section and your bus boys with cash, $20 each at least. The server will already know that you’re going to do the right thing but don’t let her take you way over the minimum if you don’t want to. Sales tax is 8.1% and standard gratuity for your cocktail server is 20%. All together an event such as this can cost $7,000 or more but the memory will last a lifetime (or maybe just until next weekend).
