As temperatures rise on the Las Vegas Strip, the aroma of sunscreen-soaked revelry blends with the unmistakable fragrance of each casino brand. Follow your nose and you’ll find throngs of scantily clad partygoers lining up for entry to Las Vegas’ hottest dayclubs. If you’re a newbie to the Vegas pool party scene, don’t sweat it–we’ve put together a little insider’s guide to help you make the most of your daylife experience.

 

The Dress Code
Dayclub Ladies, bring your “A” game. Bikinis are encouraged, and so are heels. But keep in mind it’s daytime, so swap your stilettos for a classic wedge. This is far from your neighborhood pool, so plan on getting gussied up–full hair and makeup. Even better, dress up your bikini with a body chain or chunky necklace.

 

Gents, this is the one time you won’t be turned away for wearing a t-shirt or a hat to the club. Embrace it. That being said, athletic wear and sneakers are still a no-go. Leave the Jordans at home and opt for a pair of leather flip-flops. Pair your sandals with board shorts and your favorite (waterproof) watch, and you’re set.

 

To Cabana or Not Cabana?
Benefits of a cabana or daybed include bottle service, personal storage (two hands are often required when day raging), elbow room, a place to sit down, a place to eat, and most importantly, shade—a hot commodity in the desert, especially when temperatures crack triple digits.

Usually, if you reserve a cabana or a daybed, your entry fee will be included in the cost—and you might even get to skip the general admission line. For the traveler on a budget, shelling out the cash for a cabana may be hard to swallow, so grab eight of your closest friends and split the bill. You’ll be glad you made the investment.
