Wet Republic

Anyone who comes to Las Vegas looking for celebrities might do well to start at Wet Republic, the ultra pool at the MGM Grand, with its dipping pools, sundrenched decks, and non-stop music. From Sean "Diddy" Combs and Carmen Electra hosting daytime parties to the Kardashian sisters celebrating a birthday, this is "the" place to hang out, cool off, and be cool during the summer.

Proving that alcohol and water mix well, Wet Republic's menu features a lengthy bottle service section, including Grey Good Vodka at $450, Chivas Regal scotch for $525, and Courvoisier X.O. cognac priced at $550. For those who really want to splurge, there are nearly two dozen champagnes to choose from, starting at $395 for Veuve Clicquot Cuvee and topping out at $2,800 for Louis Roederer Cristal. There are also mixed drinks, with Margaritas and Mojitos by the pitcher for $75~$85, and "munchies for sharing," such as Kobe Sliders, Roasted Portobello "Pillows," or a Chilled Seafood Sampler with Lobster Salad, Jumbo Shrimp, King Crab and Oyster Shooters.

Wet Republic is located on the premises of the MGM Grand at 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109-4319. The private valet parking entrance is off Koval Lane between Tropicana and Harmon. Hours of operation are from 11am to 7pm daily, all year round.
