Two pools at MGM properties open soon

They won’t operate as standard dayclubs

Two Las Vegas pool clubs are reopening in time for Fourth of July weekend crowds.

MGM Grand’s Wet Republic Ultra Pool and Aria’s Liquid Pool Lounge plan to open July 2, according to a Wednesday statement from MGM Resorts International and Hakkasan Group.

The two won’t operate as typical dayclubs and are instead reopening as extensions of the properties’ resort pools to support customer demand. All visitors must be 21 and older, according to the statement.

The venues will follow updated health and safety protocols. Both will use a paperless menu system that’s accessible on cellphones via QR code, and daybeds and lounge furniture will be separated to allow for physical distancing. The statement said a “rigorous cleaning plan” will be implemented.

Bungalow, cabana and daybed reservations are required for both hotel and non-hotel guests.

Wet Republic reservations also offer bottle service packages. The venue had a multimillion-dollar renovation completed this year and offers two new plunge pools that are nearly 100 feet long, 10 cabanas and 12 bungalows with “spacious seating” and flat-screen TVS.

Liquid Pool Lounge offers dipping pools, cocktails and food. There are eight cabanas, and daybeds lining the main pool.

Both pools are open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to close. Reservations are required.

Reservations at Wet Republic are available online at wetrepublic.com or by calling 702-891-3563, and Liquid Pool Lounge reservations can be made at liquidpoollv.com or by calling 702-590-9979.
