Are you considering a visit to Wet Republic? Well, you’re in good company. You and thousands of other guests search for information about this pool every month.
The search volume is so high because Wet Republic is the longest-running pool party in town. The day club also frequently ranks in the top two spots on the weekends, thanks to its exceptional talent.
But maybe those two tidbits alone aren’t enough to get you here. So let me tell you why we love Wet Republic.
- The club has CALVIN HARRIS. (That’s probably the only thing I need to say, but I’ll keep going.)
- DJ Shift loves his hip-hop beats, making Wet Republic the best hip-hop pool party on Fridays. Don’t worry, EDM fans; you’ll catch house music here on Saturdays and Sundays.
- The club was recently renovated, turning it into the most modern pool party in town.
Have I piqued your interest? Well, keep reading, then, because this Wet Republic primer is for you!

Wet Republic Ultra Pool: Overview
With its clean lines and modern color scheme of linen and blue, Wet Republic is a contemporary beauty.
It’s also one of the largest pool parties in Las Vegas with over 54,000 SF, including:
- 6,000 SF of pool space
- Six private VIP dipping pools
- 2,500 SF in the club’s shaded, open-air lounge
And all those pools come with a pretty impressive feature – saltwater. So you’ll get a safer pool experience here, and your skin will thank you too!
Not to mention, the day club could even set a Guinness World Record for having the longest bar. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but it would be a contender for sure. Just look at this thing!
Now, if all that square footage makes you worried that you won’t get to see your fave DJ up close and personal, don’t be. Wet Republic has you covered with their 1,200 SF LED “Wall,” providing visuals for every guest to see.

Directions
From the MGM Grand lobby, head through the casino towards The District. (You’ll see signs overhead guiding the way to the Grand Pool Complex – this is where you want to go.)
Soon, you’ll pass by a plethora of restaurants and fast food spots. If you’ve been partying all night, you may want to stop here and get a bite to eat before heading to the pool club.
When you can’t walk any further, there will be an escalator in front of you. Head down the escalator and through the doors to go outside. You’ll then enter the pool complex and follow signs to Wet Republic.
If you’d prefer not to walk through the pool complex, take a right after going down the escalator. Continue walking along the Convention Walkway and turn left at the Conference Center. Finally, exit out the doors at the end of the hallway.
Dress Code
The dress code for a pool party would seem simple enough, but surprisingly, it’s a misunderstood rule. In particular, many guests show up in regular street clothes, including jeans. That’s a big no-no!
So, please wear swim attire only.
And like all the other day clubs in town, Wet Republic takes its policy seriously. For instance, if you don’t wear a swimsuit, you’ll be turned away at the door.
Now you don’t have to walk through the hotel or hang out in your rideshare wearing only a bikini or swim trunks. You’re more than welcome to wear a shirt, cover-up, or shorts over your swimsuit.
The most important thing is that you have swim attire underneath your clothes.
Keep in mind, though, that if your swimsuit isn’t visible, you’ll need to show that you have one on at the door. You don’t have to undress, but the staff will need to verify that you’re wearing a swimming suit.
You can wear flip-flops, sandals, boat shoes, sneakers, heels, or wedges for shoes. We recommend that you don’t show up in Jordans or Nikes, though, as these are frowned upon by the venue.
Please also avoid wearing jerseys, basketball shorts, sports team attire, or anything see-through. Security typically won’t let you into the club with these items on.
Tickets
There are two essential things to know about Wet Republic tickets.
1) Ticket prices at the door are often much higher than purchasing pre-sale tickets from the club’s website. And it’s not just a few dollars more either. Prices are sometimes up to five times higher!
2) Online ticket sales close a few hours before the club opens, so you don’t want to wait until the last minute to buy them. If you miss the cut-off time, you’ll have to go to the club to get your tickets. To be safe, we recommend buying them at least a few days in advance.
Pre-Sale Ticket Prices
Please note that the prices below are not inclusive of the admission tax and surcharge. Although these are the current online ticket prices, they may be subject to change.
- Friday: $25 (female) & $30 (male)
- Saturday: $30 (female) & 50 (male)
- Sunday: $25 (female) & $30 (male)
Guest List
On most days, being on Wet Republic’s guest list will get ladies into the club for free. Guys in groups with at least an equal number of women may also receive complimentary entry or pay a reduced rate.
Please keep in mind, though, that Wet Republic’s guest list is never guaranteed.
To sign up for the list, you’ll want to reach out to a promoter at least a day in advance. You can also sign up on Wet Republic’s website for guest list entry on Mondays and Thursdays.
Calvin Harris Guest List
On Calvin Harris days at Wet Republic, the guest list is extremely limited. For instance, guest list admission is often restricted to the first 30 minutes to an hour only.
Additionally, the guest list is always subject to change. This means that the club can close it off at any point or even cancel it without notice.
For these reasons, we recommend getting Calvin tickets instead.
It’s just not worth it, in our opinion, to wait in line only to find out that the guest list is no longer available. Or, even worse, the ticket prices are now three times higher than what you could’ve paid online.
Bottle Service & VIP Tables At Wet Republic
If you want to party like the real VIP you are, then nothing beats making a table reservation at Wet Republic. Not only do you get your very own spot to party (with seating), but you won’t have to lift a finger while you’re there.
What’s Included
All VIP table reservations include the following.
- Expedited and complimentary entry through a dedicated VIP line
- A cocktail server to take your food and bottle orders
- Your choice of three unlimited and complimentary mixers (juices)
- Free tonic water
- Bussers to keep your area clean and well-stocked with glasses and ice
- A security team to ensure your group’s safety and stop any unwanted visitors
Cost
Wet Republic’s VIP tables are quoted as a minimum spend requirement. The “minimum spend” means you need to spend at least the specified amount at the club.
For instance, if you want to get a daybed and the quote is $2,000, you’ll need to buy at least $2,000 of food and beverage items.
If you don’t purchase enough to meet the $2,000 requirement, you’ll be charged the remaining spend as a table fee. And if you exceed the minimum, then you’ll be responsible for the total cost of everything you purchased.
Keep in mind that the minimum spend is not the total cost you’ll pay.
Like all clubs in Vegas, Wet Republic also charges approximately 37% on top of the minimum or total spend (if more).
Wet Republic VIP Tables
Due to the club’s generous size, Wet Republic offers a wider variety of tables than other pool parties in Vegas.
Overall, there are 23 daybeds, 12 bungalows, ten cabanas, ten dance floor tables, nine deck tables, seven lounge tables, and four stage tables.
Although priced the highest, the cabanas and bungalows typically sell out the fastest. These also accommodate the most people.
Daybed
- Cost: $500 – $750 (Fri), $2,000 – $3,000 (Sat), $1,000 (Sun)
- Number of Guests: 6
- Description: Most of Wet Republic’s daybeds are in front of the bungalows on the right side of the stage. You’ll find five rows here, complete with umbrellas for shade and safes at each table too. The daybeds are also quite spacious as they’re king-sized beds.
Lounge Table
- Cost: $1,500 (Fri), $3,500 – $4,000 (Sat), $1,500 – $2,000 (Sun)
- Number of Guests: 10
- Description: The lounge tables are plush couches in Wet Republic’s open-air lounge. From here, you’ll feel like the DJ as you look out over the crowd and pool. These tables are excellent if you want a mid-priced bottle service option in the shade. They’re also close to the main bar and an ideal spot for mingling.
Dance Floor Table

You’ll also be in the action here, with quick access to the main pool. All dance floor tables include a large umbrella for shade.
Deck Table
- Cost: $2,000 (Fri), $4,000 – $6,000 (Sat), $2,000 – $2,500 ( Sun)
- Number of Guests: 10
- Description: The U-shaped deck tables are named for their location along the pool’s edge. From this vantage point, you’ll be across from the DJ, giving you an exceptional view of the club and LED screens. The deck tables are also one of the closest options you can get to the pool.
Wet Republic Cabana
- Cost: $3,000 (Fri), $6,000 – $7,000 (Sat), $3,000 (Sun)
- Number of Guests: 15

The cabanas offer complete sun protection, too. You’ll also be in the heart of the club, directly across the pool from the DJ booth. An excellent option for larger groups like bachelor and bachelorette parties.
Bungalow
- Cost: $4,000 (Fri), $10,000 – $12,500 (Sat), $5,000 – $7,000 (Sun)

Bottle Presentations
It’s no secret that the Hakkasan Group’s family of clubs have some of the best bottle presentations on the strip.
For example, their assortment of bottle displays includes pirate ships, tanks, and more. There are also oversized letters that spell out your name for the entire club to see.
On most days, you can get a presentation with the purchase of specific champagne bottles. Or a display may be complimentary with a higher minimum spend amount.
If you’d like a presentation, you’ll want to speak with your cocktail server when you arrive. She’ll show you the available options and prices for that day. Of course, the more you spend, the more attention-grabbing the presentation will be.
Wet Republic’s “food presentations” are also fantastic. For example, with select snack purchases, waitresses will carry food to your table on a yacht. Who wouldn’t want this on the reg?!
Wet Republic VIP Table: FAQ
There are a lot of questions that guests have about bottle service at Wet Republic. Here are three that get asked often by our clients.
1. Can I Book A Table If I’m Over The Guest Limit?
Yes. If you want to book a table, but you’re over the maximum number of people, you can still consider getting it. But, there will be an additional cost.
Generally speaking, Wet Republic increases the minimum spend by $250 per person.
For example, let’s say you’re a group of eight guys and you want to book a daybed. If the price is $1,000 for up to six people, the club will increase the minimum spend by $500 for the extra two guests.
So instead of a $1,000 minimum, the daybed will now cost $1,500. And the service fee, tax, and gratuity will be calculated on the higher amount as well.
This rule applies to the number of guests at walk-in only.
2. Are Table Locations Guaranteed?
Wet Republic is a demand-based club, so there’s always a chance on popular days that table prices will go up at the door.
Because of this, it’s best to think of table locations as a request only.
When we talk about table locations, we’re referring to the section, i.e., deck table, daybed, cabana. To give your group the best chance of getting the section you want, we recommend getting to the club early.
There’s one exception, though. If you’d like to prepay, either with a 50% deposit or the full amount, the club will guarantee your table location. But, the payment is non-refundable. So if you have to cancel, you won’t get your money back.
3. Are There Any Bottle Service Deals?
Yep! If you’re looking for a deal, head to Wet Republic on a Monday or Thursday. You’ll find prices drastically reduced on these days. For instance, bungalows usually start around $750 and daybeds at a $250 minimum spend.
Compared to some Saturdays, that’s a savings of over 90%!
Of course, you won’t have nearly as big of a crowd on the weekdays as it’s more of a lounge-type vibe. You also won’t get to see the most in-demand DJs.
But if you want to relax and indulge in the most coveted tables at a fraction of the cost, you might want to check it out!
More Things To Know
Here’s some important information to make your day stress-free. And help you get the most out of your Wet Republic experience.
Calvin Harris At Wet Republic
On Calvin Harris days, we highly recommend getting bottle service. This is especially true if you have a group size of six or more people.
Yes, bottle service prices are quite a bit higher for Calvin but hear me out…
If you go the general admission route, then you’ll most likely be waiting an hour or more to get inside the club.
And if you didn’t buy your tickets in advance, then at the door you could be paying over $200. (As we mentioned before, it’s not a good idea to rely on guest list entry as it often gets canceled for Calvin.)
Once inside, you’ll want drinks, so you’ll head to the bar and find another ridiculous line waiting for you. You’ll also pay out the wazoo for your beverages because, well, they’re anything but cheap at Vegas pool parties.
By the time you add all that up, plus the cost of your time, it’s almost the same price per person as getting bottle service. Plus, you won’t have to wait in any long lines!
If you decide to get tickets, though, we encourage guests to get to the pool party early. No later than 11 am on Calvin days.
P.S. You can also catch Calvin Harris at Omnia.
Hot 100 With Chantel Jeffries & DJ Shift
On most Fridays during the summer, Wet Republic hosts their Hot 100 party. For those new to the Vegas club scene, the Hot 100 bash features ladies in bikinis strutting their stuff.
And let me tell you – this event is one of the best parties on Fridays!
Winners are selected by the crowd each week with some pretty awesome cash prizes. And, even better, anyone can participate even if you’re not a Vegas local.
Shade
One thing we love about Wet Republic is that the venue provides shade for all guests.
So if you’re at a VIP table, you’ll have an umbrella or be protected by a covered structure.
But even if you don’t make a bottle service reservation, you can escape the heat in Wet Republic’s lounge. This open-air bar is “more than a quarter of the length of a football field!”
Lockers, Safes & Bag Check Services
Do you need a place to store your belongings for the day? Well, good news! Wet Republic has many storage options.
Lockers
The rate for lockers is around $60 for the day, and they’re first-come, first-served. They’re also generously sized at 18″ x 12.” If you’d like to rent one, head to the kiosk located on the right side of the bar. And come early!
Safes
Table service guests get complimentary safes at daybeds, cabanas, and bungalows. Unfortunately, though, safes aren’t provided at the other table types. So, if you want some storage space, then it might be worth considering renting a locker.
Bag Check
Lastly, please make sure that you don’t bring bags larger than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ as they won’t be allowed inside the venue. If you do, then you’ll be required to check your bag.
The bag check fee is around $10 for the day.
This service works differently than the lockers, though. You’ll want to take everything with you that you’ll need as you won’t be able to access it throughout the day. And please don’t leave any valuables inside the bag either.
Wet Republic’s bag check is also available to any guest – not just those with over-sized bags.
Conclusion
If you want to party at one of the best day clubs in Vegas, you won’t want to miss Wet Republic. The pool party ranks in the top two venues each weekend, going head-to-head with Encore Beach Club.
Since Wet Republic is a premier spot, it has top DJ talent. So, you’ll pay up to be here. Expect prices for both bottle service and tickets to increase at the door on the most popular days. You may want to consider prepaying for tickets or table service to lock in your rate.
The club was also renovated recently and now has updated amenities and VIP tables. So it’s a new experience for everyone!
