i was at MGM which has Wet Republic. While I am not one at all to get into the "pool scene" or anything like that i do have some first had advice. MGM pools are the best ive come across. we got there at 10, got good spots at the lazy river, rented inner tubes and floated around and drank for most of the afternoon. ended up talking to a couple groups that were around us about Wet Republic. A group of girls had gone there the day before, ended up paying $75 each to get in and that only gets you in, nothing included. same prices for drinks over there as by the free pools. they said all there were around the pool were fake tits and muscle heads. i didnt pay anything to sit by the lazy river and i saw enough fake tits and bad plastic surgery for free of course along with some muscle heads. if you ask me, save the money for some drinks.

Hey all - so my official comparison included Tao Beach and Hard Rock's Rehab. I also checked out Moorea Beach at Mandalay but will write about that in a separate Mandalay Bay review since Moorea is intended only for local guests. It also isn't a direct comparison since Moorea is "European" while Tao Beach and Rehab are not.

The review is here: Battle of the Las Vegas Pool Scenes – Tao Beach at the Venetian vs. Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel

Appropriate use of red-faced tag, +1.

Actually, significant others are great for holding onto winnings. Nothing worse than being up several hundred dollars when you are loaded and then subsequently giving back all your winnings the same evening. Wife = money tender for drunk husbands (or vice versa).

I don't actually drink, but my wife can squeeze a $.01 TITO ticket until it bleeds. A couple of bucks can keep her happy for hours.

I'm heading out to Vegas with my girl 10/22 - 10/25. Do you guys think it will be warm enough for the pool?

The midday temps get into the 70s, so you could get some swimming in. But by the end of October, weather can start to get a little fussy. So be prepared to do something else, just in case.
