Bare

Review

If you venture beyond the pool and through a winding walkway lined with more lush vegetation and exotic sculptures you will find an even more exquisite slice of paradise at Bare, an adult pool lounge where women are free to frolic topless (European-style), ultra chic chaise lounges await your arrival and the attentive bar staff is ready to take your order from their infinite selection of delectable drink options.

Entering Bare feels as though you are being transported to another pocket of indulgence unlike anything else on the Strip where you can have the utmost in sun and fun enjoyment in a secluded area away from screaming children or splashing kids yelling "marco polo!" This pool is for those 21 and older for all the right reasons.

The hip and contemporary deck furniture, paired with the not-too-loud, yet still dance-inspired party mix spun by the poolside DJ, create a Miami Beach vibe where you have the option to relax or continue on your weekend of partying.

On the lower deck the pool is lined with comfy chaise lounges where guest can catch some rays while being in the middle of the action. There are also plush day beds and cabanas available for those who desire a more personalized pool experience.

Daybed and cabana guests can delight in complimentary services including: chilled cucumbers to soothe puffy eyes from a late night on the dance floor, iced towels rolled and chilled in lemon flavored water and Evian misting bottles served icy cold and ready to refresh. If you desire more hands-on attention there is also a massage therapist located on site that offers poolside massages for an additional fee.

For a view of it all, the elevated VIP section, lined with umbrella-covered daybeds, overlooks the entire area and features its own glass infinity-edged pool. It is the utmost in luxury with a good view in every direction. A flat screen television hangs on the wall if you want to catch a game or take a break from gazing at all the bathing beauties.

The main pool has a shallow area on both ends perfect for lounging and sunbathing. In the middle, the deeper water allows enough room to completely submerge yourself if you really want to get wet.

Apart from the immaculate pool area, the attractive wait staff adds to the scenery as they interact with guests to bring drinks or a tasty delight from their menu of specialty food items.

In the evening, Bare is available for private events and can accommodate up to 550 people. There is even a glass pool cover that transforms the pool into an innovative see-through floor where people can dance on water under the stars.

Bare's intimate setting is great for getting chatty with friends and maybe even the hot looking bunch in the nearby cabana. Shiny suntan-oiled bodies glisten in the sun and good beats play in the background as the bartender pours another mojito- it's another day in paradise at Bare.
