I was in Vegas for the past 2 weekends (different bachelor parties back to back) and had the chance to go to both Tao Beach and Wet Republic.\n\nHere are my thoughts about Wet Republic:\n\n1- As other yelpers had mentioned, you can get dropped off directly in front of the Wet Republic entrance. The entrance is located on Koval Lane (between Harmon Ave and Tropicana Ave). We had rented a luxury motor coach for the day that was able to easily drive into the turnaround and drop us off. (I highly recommend renting one of these buses if you have a large group! Rolling in a tour bus is pretty cool!!)\n\n <url> Since we had 14 guys in our party, we went with bottle service ($2000 food and drink minimum). They placed us in a roped off section near the main bar where we had (1) couch that could fit 4-5 people, (2) lounge chairs that could fit 1 person each, and (4) bar stools alongside a raised counter. Although we weren't that close to the pool, sitting next to the bar ensured a steady stream of foot traffic. This made it easy to chat up the ladies and invite them to share a drink with us. Since it was scorching hot, we thought that the shade offered by our location (we were underneath an actual roof) was better than the tent cabanas. Although the tent cabanas offered shade, they probably acting like mini-ovens, baking in the sun.\n\n3- The staff were friendly and efficient. The waitress mixed drinks for us all day long and made certain that the groups of girls who stopped by were taken care of. We felt like smoking cigars so the guy attendant went inside MGM and brought us our stogies. \n\n4- The layout of the venue made for a fun day in the sun. After having visited Tao Beach, I'll definitely say that having a men's bathroom next to the bar (with more than 2 urinals) is a BIG PLUS!! Having to go outside of Tao Beach and then wait in line for 3-5 minutes to take a leak was a huge buzz kill. I don't think I waited in line more than 30 seconds at Wet Republic.\n\n5- The size of the pool was also a huge plus. Although I can only compare Wet Republic to Tao Beach, there was plenty of room to mingle and get crazy (chicken fights, cannon balls) vs. the pool at Tao Beach. I also noticed a separate pool set up with a volleyball net.\n\n6- Finally, the level of energy at Wet Republic was off the charts vs. Tao Beach. We stayed there from noon - 5pm and starting at 1pm it seemed that everyone was having an awesome time! The music was awesome as the DJ really had the party bumping to trance, house, and other fast paced songs.
