Palm Tree Beach Club Review

MEH!

Stayed at the MGM Grand hotel, and went to Wet Republic in May of 2016.

The sound system (and maybe the DJ) is what makes you consider this venue in the first place. That and the close proximity to the MGM Grand hotel.

To go to the Wet Republic here are some points to note:
-You can't see inside from the outside.
-Men pay a $40 cover and women pay a $30 cover.
-You must be dressed "right". Fashionable swimwear on exceptional bodies ONLY. Ladies, platforms with sexy bikinis, shades, hats (optional). Men, toned, tanned bodies, shorts, and cool flip flops or shoes. Of COURSE you can get in if you don't look exactly like described, but be prepared to be dealt with rudely by bar staff and servers. Also be prepared for disapproving looks from the beautiful people.
-You must check your bag in a locker for $ unless you get a daybed or cabana.
-Towels must be rented for $
-Lounger chairs are first come first served and cost $. Daybed's, and cabana's can be reserved and paid for with a minimum spend of $500.
-Drinks can be bought for mucho $.

Ladies and gentlemen the moral of this story is you'll either pay and sit, or stand up and sip. If you must go, go on a Sat or Sun before 1pm to avoid the line up.

If you are a non-celebrity with a group of people willing to spend about $300 each you'll be good. But then again if you were a celebrity you and your entourage would get in free, bypass the line, get a cabana for absolutely free, and a comp'ed bottle or two like Prince Harry, Will Smith , and countless others do.

Really the only reason to go to Wet Republic is to day party with other like-minded (and some say douche-bag minded) people. There are several perfectly good pools at the MGM where you can listen to the vibes from the Wet Republic, tan on a free lounger chair, actually swim, cool off under a tree, and get served appropriately priced drinks by a server who comes to you (I posted a pic of two of them).
