Well, that raps up another amazing summer here in good ol` Las Vegas. The summer of `11 will go down in history as the `forgotten summer` and you will owe that partially to Wet Republic at the MGM Grand for serving up some mean poolside rum. Run by Angel Management group, Wet Republic has changed the face of what it meant to party poolside in Las Vegas as it brought back class and a whole lotta ...buns to Vegas` daytime party scene.

The pool scene has really exploded over the last ten years here in Vegas. It used to be if you wanted to go to a pool you would have to use the facilities at the hotel. Now, don`t get me wrong, the hotels have wonderfully attractive watering holes, sometimes above and beyond ones expectations and I can even remember having the time of my life at several of them but who goes to the hotel pools anymore? It`s all about the ultra day pool parties these days!

Wet Republic has it all. Bungalows, cabanas, day beds, chaise lounges, two huge salt water pools, and even a private jacuzzi for each Deluxe Bungalow that overlooks the entire party scene from above. This is where you will find the A list celebrities and the high rolling VIP`s on any given day of the week. Over the course of this last summer, sadly enough it`s over now, here is a list of the few celeb party animals that got paid the big bucks to come down and host the day away. For instance, Audrina Patridge, Carmen Electra, Kourtney Kardashian, Sean `Diddy` Combs all made it a point to get to Wet Republic this summer not just because they get paid big bucks to make their appearances but I`m sure it`s because these players all know where the action is at.

This oasis is like no other in the desert and it`s no facade. The music scene is intense, on any given day the most popular DJ`s in the world are spinning to music hungry fans wading in the pools with drinks in hand and excitement filled eyes. During the season finale party, they were going crazy to Steven Angello of the Swedish House Mafia. It`s days like these that make the pool party scene what it is today and will forever make the hotel pools a thing of the past.
