How can you not like this place.  Small pool but very very hip and very exclusive.  There a DJ spinning tunes, a main pool, VIP pool and shaded bar.  You can get a daybed or cabana or just pay cover ($30 for guys, not sure about ladies). If  you get a daybed, try to get one with an umbrella. 120 degrees without an umbrella aint cute.
Review Source:We came here on 4th of July. it is actually our second trip here.
The atmosphere is chill, the clientele is older than your average Vegas adult party pool. Reserved a daybed for 350 but when we arrived (11:30) was told price has gone up to 650. No matter. Got 2 chairs instead for my wife and I for 100 f/b min each and had a great time.
Around 3PM though they closed the upper pool, restricted for daybeds only, which was very disappointing. The lower pool has a visible layer of residue from all the sunblocks and was pretty disgusting. Other than that, we had a great time at Bare.
"Bare" Pool Lounge....we should have known this was a topless day club just from the name, lol.
Me and my girls were looking for a place to chill on a couple drinks and snacks before our flight and these two employees at a nearby froyo shop suggested Bare Pool Lounge-- they also gave us each a couple complimentary drink tickets-- so why not?
Located at the Mirage, we walked down a relatively long, narrow, garden pathway to the entrance of the pool. Â We still had no idea that this may be an "adult " pool lounge bahaha.. Â This pool lounge is smaller than Marquee/EBC/Wet Republic, but it was pretty decent. Â There is one bar, one main pool in the center, and small tubs located in the back near the DJ.
There was no line (this was on a Monday) and we were able to order our drinks without waiting either.  The bar area isn't too big and there isn't much seating unless you have a reserved table/cabana.  We were lucky enough to grab one of the two side bar tables to chill and snack.  (<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bare-pool-lounge-las-vegas?select=C2KoGYJaEN7OyxKtODNyyQ#CWI2KPO-IoYDrpaElyw_UA">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>)  (<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bare-pool-lounge-las-vegas?select=C2KoGYJaEN7OyxKtODNyyQ#GDStYO-ZKr0irVLESxqbkQ">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>) Â
We had a nice time here before our flight-- I also liked how they played hip-hop.. a nice change from the unce unce unce all weekend :]
Hands down one of my favorite pool spots on the strip!
OK sure, it's a topless pool and I'm not really one for going topless...but I could also really care less if others choose to do so.
It's not a huge pool area and yes, unless you're a girl that can get a free pass you'll have to pay to get in even if you're staying at the hotel...standard.
Like any Vegas establishment drinks and food are pricey and so are the chairs/cabanas...however, I did make note that they were cheaper than some of the other pool places.
Got there on a Thursday and chairs were free. Score! Once the weekend swings around...$100. Not terrible. A lounge or cabana will set you back over $1000.
The staff here is excellent. Very professional, accommodating, and friendly. They really take care of everyone no matter how much you are spending.
I definitely recommend this pool and will certainly be back! Viva Las Vegas!
NOTES: Two pools. Both small in size. If you're a girl you basically are in for free. If you're a girl/girls without dudes with you...head of the line and free drinks. That's Vegas for ya! I wasn't complaining :)
Be sure to get there when they open as it fills up quickly especially on weekends.
I enjoyed it because it was a little bit more of a relaxed, chill atmosphere than some of the other pools.
We decided to "take the plunge" and rent a cabana at The Bare Pool at the Mirage Hotel. Â The cabana was layed out nicely and I liked it better than Moorea Beach club at Mandalay Bay. Â The service was very good and the food and drinks were delicious. Â My only complaint would be that the pool is very small and it felt a bit crowded.
I would definitely visit again.
We were very excited to try this experience and it did not disappoint. Â We had a daybed and we negotiated the minimum down from $550 to $300 by working with their promoter (thanks, Brett) a couple weeks in advance. Â We actually had troubles spending the full $300, but we did. Â With auto-grat and additional $40 we left for the server and busser, we spent about $450 total. Â 100% worth it. Â Great party atmosphere. Â Very erotic experience to have the wife topless in the pool and on the daybed. Â The food and drinks were beyond any expectations. Â I can't recommend the Lobster Tacos enough (but all food we got was incredible). Â We had to leave the pool for a nooner because it was such a turn-on for both of us. Â Guys, if you want your wife really keyed up and yourself, too, do this pool. Â And take pictures. Â ;-)

I was really excited to experience the pool parties in Las Vegas. Â I had seen pictures and it looked like a really good time. Â I happen to stumble upon Bare Pool Lounge while walking through El Mirage. Â Almost everyone standing in line with me and my husband was on some sort of elite guest list that got you in free and got you free drinks, except for us. Â My husband had to pay $20, while I was free because I am a girl.
When I first entered the lounge area, I was disappointed in the size of the pool, it was very small. We found two open lounge chairs and sat down. Â A few minutes later, a waitress came over and told us we had to pay at least $50 for drinks to sit there, so we moved to the ground. Â Eventually we ventured into the tiny pool. Â It was disgusting. There was hair and unidentifiable particles floating around. Â
There was a second pool that was above ground and you can see through. Â It looked cool, but of course you had to pay extra to use it. Â The whole lounge just seemed like a place to assert your status. Â In summary, we paid $20 to sit on the ground and swim in a disgusting tiny pool.
Topless optional pool party in Vegas. I'm sure this attracts a lot of guys! However, when we went there, not a lot of girls were topless. Most of the ladies I was with didn't go topless either. No one judges you either way so it doesn't matter.
We ended up only staying for about two hours and it was in the beginning of the day so people were still arriving as we were leaving. It was pretty fun but really small. There's one rectangular pool when you first walk in and then a smaller pool if you go up a few steps. We got a cabana in that area so we hung around the smaller pool. That made the experience better.
We didn't have a bad time. It was cool but it just wasn't as nice as other pool parties in Vegas.
I'm a bit mixed about this place, and wished we had the opportunity to try it on a week day instead of the weekend.
The triple digit heat brought a swarm to Bare, so we were out of luck on getting a lawn chair.
The prices below are what you need to buy in food and/or bottle service;
$100 Lawn Chair
$650 Cabana
$1500 Ultra Cabana
I think if I was here when it was a bit cooler, and people were not packed in the pool like sardines, it would be a fun place to kick it.
And maybe then I would take off my top. (I think 2 people went topless over that weekend)
If these walls could talk, oh the stories they'd tell.
I'll keep the personal anecdotes to a minimum (what happens in Vegas, after all) and focus on the facts. Bare is not Wet Republic. It is not Rehab. And it also isn't a strip club, despite the name and the loose rules concerning bikini tops.
What it is is a modest-sized pool set into the jungle of the Mirage, surrounded by lounges and cabanas, beautiful people, and probably the most fun I've had at a pool in Vegas. Bare strikes the perfect balance between intimate and social, casual and upscale, and a relaxing-yet-still-a-party atmosphere. And at a $600 minimum for cabanas (which also waves your entry fee) along with absolutely spot-on service, I'd go so far as to call this place a bargain...for Vegas anyway.
Clubs at night can be grossly overrated. Sun, awesome food & drinks, and an awesome crowd--This is my kind of party.
What good be better than Bottle Service, Sun and Topless Girls in a pool in Vegas??
The only thing I can think of is Bottle Service, Sun and Topless girls in a pool "with a much more powerful filter" in Vegas!!
The frozen fruit was great the pitcher after pitcher of "Refreshers" that we ordered were very very refreshing (for $60) the bed was comfy and poolside.
The only reason its 4 starts instead of 5 is because by about 1pm the pool was so packed and the water sooo cloudy sitting in the pool began to seem like a serious health hazard!
Aside from offering what I believe to be the best pool scene in Las Vegas, Bare also represents everything that this town has come to represent, particularly for the younger generation who isn't stuck in a cigarette smoke filled casino from sun up to sun down. Excess, exuberance, enticement, and the ability to escape into another world, for at least a few hours, are all in abundance here, and even without the optional "European style" looseness on the clothing regulations (I would estimate the exposure rate between 5-20%, depending on the time of day) this would be one Hell of a great party.
When I walked up to Bare, after navigating through the forest that lies in the middle of The Mirage hotel, I gave the gatekeeper my name, and was told, "There is no guest list for guys." Right, I said, but there is one for me. He checked again, and with a nice, slightly embarrassed apology let me right in, along with my friend Japhet and his roommate, waiving the $50 fee for each guy. If you've got hookups in Vegas this is the place to use them. Hours later, our minds blown, and at least a dozen pitchers of mojitos downed between the three of us, we had experienced perhaps the most fun of our entire 5 day weekend.
I'll spare you stories of "the girl in green", as she became known, who got kicked out for somehow having entirely too much fun, or the stage dancers from EDC who were the nicest Aussies I've ever met, and almost all Aussies are nice, because really every trip to Bare could result in dozens of recountings of things you really won't see anywhere back home. Hell I really won't even elaborate on what happened when my buddy chatted with a swinger couple for a bit too long, because as they say, what happens here... (unless one of your other friends takes a cell phone photo of your text conversation after the fact and posts it to Imgur, woops).
What I do want to praise though is a DJ that absolutely slayed a Sunday afternoon pool party with his mixes (and was sorely missed when we returned on Monday), drinks that were as strong and well mixed as anywhere else I've gone in Vegas, and a staff that is there at your fingertips from the second you lay down to relax in your bed, assuming you're smart enough, and early enough, to get one. For a mere $100 worth of spending (which you will easily do here), or by knowing the right folks, you can reserve a bed for the entire day, and get the best possible poolside views of all the entertainment. I suggest if you're early enough to go for one of the beds in the middle of the pool, for a full scope of all the main party, or one at the very end in between the main pool and the wall pool, because there's never ending activity in there as well. You'll have a waitress dedicated to your area, and a pool boy watching out for you specifically (don't forget to tip these guys as well, as they work just as hard, if not harder). There are also separate guys in charge of issuing who gets what beds/chairs, so if you take care of them too they'll not only seat you wherever you want, but make sure you're surrounded by as much of the opposite sex as you desire.
In addition to the stellar drinks, the food here is definitely restaurant quality, albeit obviously pricey (but you can apply that to your $100 minimum if you're still too hungover to start drinking). The lobster tacos with guacamole were as good as anything else I had in Vegas, and the buffalo chicken wrap was exactly what I needed to prep for a long day of travel after we left the pool on our last day. Brian raved (no pun intended) about the frozen fruit, which he had heard would be greatly enhanced based on his activities at EDC the night before. I can't vouch for that aspect, but I thought it was a wonderfully refreshing snack for what turned out to be a sweltering summer day. Bare was a great way to end a memorable trip reuniting with some old friends in Vegas, and it will definitely be one of the few places worthy of returning to from this visit.
This summer, I've become quite the fan of Bare!
Some notable observations:
-I enjoy the tropical, greenery enclosed walk to the pool. Â
- I appreciate the option to go topless, although on average, 25% or fewer women actually do. Â
- Generally there is a good mix of music- hip hop, top 40, EDM. Although I can appreciate EDM, a full day of it gets to be a little much.
- Â Local women don't get charged a cover, and often there are passes for the non-local ladies available as well. Â Men are $40, and I believe local men are $20, and occasionally, there will even be tickets for 1 free drink for ladies.
- Drinks are pretty tasty, but are the usual Vegas prices ($12-$15 for cocktails). Â
- All of the staff are friendly, and they keep things very clean. I was especially impressed with the bathrooms! I usually fear going to the bathroom at a pool, but Bare's facilities are extremely clean and well maintained.
- The water is clear and not filled with all kinds of gunk (spilled drinks, sunscreen, etc).
- There is usually a really nice mix of people. Â Although the pool area is relatively small, especially in comparison to some of the "major" pool/clubs, Bare never gets overly crowded and thus, I don't get that claustrophobic feeling that I do at some of the more "in" pool parties. Â I absolutely hate feeling like I'm trapped in a sea of wall to wall people and like I am forced to be in a cabana just to escape the madness.
Bare has definitely become one of my go-to spots for fun in the sun this summer. Â It is almost like a hidden gem on the Strip!
After frequenting all the biggest and most popular pool parties in Vegas, I was pleasantly surprised by Bare on a Monday.  The crowd was good, the drinks were well portioned, the set up was smart, music was alright.  It reminds of of Liquid at Aria.  With some good advertising, maybe a few  big name DJs, and promotions to bring in girls, they could really take advantage of their intimate atmosphere.  I'll be back again :-)
Review Source:Fun in the sun.
Loved going to this topless pool at the mirage with friends. No not everyone goes topless, including I, but if you want to you can.
I would recommend getting a cabana if you have a large group because it gets more than crowded and seats run out quick. They run around $1000 but your food and drinks all go towards that price, so drink up!
Waiters and waitresses pour all the drinks and bring out your food. Some cabanas have TVs. We had pitchers of majitos and some lemonade vodka concoction, shots of Patron, coconut shrimp, burgers, garlic fries, I think even pizza and it was all really tasty.
There's a small pool for everyone and another private pool with glass side, Dj, shaded bar, and some lounge chairs. Usually there is a cover charge but I think a lot of people (mainly girls) get in for free.
Defiantly worth spending a day at.
I enjoyed Bare immensely and there are a few specific reasons why...
First, the journey to the pool is beautiful and scenic. Â The path meanders through lush oasis-like greenery and it's adjacent to the lovely entrance to Mirage's animal habitat. Â I got the feeling we were walking through some secret hideaway!
Second, we didn't get charged a cover! Â Nice! Â You should note, it was a Tuesday and there wasn't really a line...
Third, we were able to take advantage of lounge chair relaxation for free (again, that's not always the case...weekends, they charge, I'm sure). Â And I was given free drink vouchers! Â Score!
But the best part...our cocktail waitress, server assistant, bartender and frankly, all the staff we encountered that day were pretty chill. Â It was a pleasant experience because we were able to relax and have fun without worrying about or dealing with any potential stressors that dayclubs and clubs often cause (i.e. mean bouncers, snooty service staff, not being allowed to sit anywhere..)
Other observations:
- The pool area in general is pretty small, so I have no idea how that would play out on a crowded day...for us, it worked out just fine. Â It was quiet and cozy.
- The restrooms were clean (that's a pretty big deal for me).
- The "toptional" aspect of this pool makes for an interesting atmosphere..not every girl does it and you don't feel pressured to, but it seemed to me, those that did felt comfortable doing so.
- The cabanas looked pretty nice!! Â No idea about the pricing though.
- Drink service was prompt and genuinely NICE! Â
- Drink prices are typical...($15 and up range).
This place had a ton of potential, but as a dayclub, the experience was underwhelming to say the least. My friends and I were in Vegas in March, which admittedly is not the best time for dayclubs in Vegas. Luckily the weather was relatively warm the week we were there, and the first of the dayclubs had started to open up.
We went on (I believe) the opening day for the Bare Lounge. The line was moderately long, but unfortunately we had to go back to the hotel and change since we weren't appropriately dressed. That one was on us though, so we simply cabbed it, changed, and cabbed it back. Cover was a little high (around $40 if I remember correctly), but we eventually made it inside.
The crowd was pretty large, mostly gathered around the lefthand bar. Â Other people were just hanging out on the chairs near the side of the main pool, which was small by any standard. Â The back of the dayclub area had another pool and a hot tub; people gathered around here to chill as well.
My other friends who had visited places like Rehab in the past raved about wild daytime parties. On the contrary, everyone at Bare seemed like they were there to people-watch. Â They had decent dance/club music, but the whole atmosphere was very subdued. Sure you had a few topless chicks here and there, but for $40 you can keep your top on - just have more people having fun.
Protip: if you plan on coming here, make sure you're wearing swimming trunks. We got turned away because half of our party was wearing regular shorts.
I've never been to a day club just because you can't sit anywhere! Â I refuse to pay for a lawn chair! Â My (local) bestie & I got free women admission tickets so we decided to check it out since I was staying at the Mirage. Â The rude d-dbag "security" guy told my friend that we had to leave my big new SEALED Aquafina bottle that was in her tote bag at the cashier area where he was standing and he couldn't guarantee that it would still be there afterwards. Â It was sealed & it was water I don't see the big deal. Â We walked in and saw what a sausage fest it was & it was small & nothing to look at or worth staying & left seriously within a minute & of course they threw away my water. Â
Do you Bare employees think your the sh*t?! Â You ain't Wet Republic, Encore, or Marquee Day Club..you're at the Mirage!
We had a cabana at Bare this weekend and the party was great. The place was packed. The cabanas line the side and back of the pool so you have a great vantage point to see everything going on.
Bare is a great option when you want a smaller, more intimate pool party setting. Even though it was busy, I found it to be chill, relaxing. The "toptional" thing isn't personally for me (too many perverts with their camera phones, not necessarily at Bare but in general) so as a result I didn't go topless but a few girls that were with us did. There were also several girls around the pool party that had their tops off. It reminded me of South Beach or the south of France...some of the scenery was nice to look at, some not so nice to look at. But hey, to each their own. If you want to show it, show it.
I didn't eat any food there but some people in our cabana ordered a burger, sandwiches and a fruit plate. I also saw onion rings and french fries. The menu didn't look very appealing, kind of typical pool food I guess. I think Tao Beach has a better pool food menu. That said, I don't go to pool parties to eat lunch anyway so the food menu is of no consequence to me.
I'll post a pic of some of us at the cabana. The cabana minimum here was only $1000 on a weekend day. That's ridiculously cheap compared to $5000 cabana minimums at other pool parties. We stuck with pitchers of mojitos instead of bottles of straight liquor since I had another event to go to later in the day. The mojitos were delicious and I told the waitress to tell the bartender "light ice" so that it wouldn't get too watered down. There was a mini fridge at the cabana which kept everything cold.
I will definitely be back at Bare.
We made a res for one of the dual lounge chairs thru a friend w/ a hook up and we were not disappointed. We were given one right at the base of the pool where all the action is. We initially met some chix from Cincinnati. Nice enuf but too conservative. We were in need of some friends to make our minimim and then
we met some 9-ho-9 chix from the Inland Empire. One of them happened to be a Suicide Girl. She raved about wanting to be a Playboy model but she couldn't because of her tats. Let me tell you girl, you are cute but you are not Playboy material and your boobies are too small. But I appreciate you acknowledging its a topless pool and you represented well - LMAO. These chix were such rookies that they got so $hitfaced at the pool that they couldn't meet us @ XS later. Typical 9-ho-9 chix.
Speaking of Playboy models, one of Hef's recent exes was there. However, when I got a close up I was not impressed. Surgically enhanced to da max and cellulite on the back of her legs. I wonder what will happen when shes turns 30-LOL. Funny story. If you look closely at the background of the pic I attached one of the Playboy girls is laying on her back and one of the other girls in the cabana is sucking her foot! And I thought only guys had foot fetishes!-LMFAO.
I will definitely come back here when the weather gets better. The sites are OK, but the staff is cool, especially the waitresses and the experiences were even better - ICSROTFLMAO!
Bare is hands down the best pool in Vegas!!!
We went for the first time last April and liked it so much that we went back 2 more times just last summer. We plan on going there many more times this upcoming season as well.
Ladies...don't get overly concerned about the whole topless thing. My wife goes with me and the first time we went she was nervous about it but after a few drinks, she decided to take her top off. She was not the least bit uncomfortable after doing so. Nobody stared at her... it was obvious that the staff was used to seeing boobs as were the customers... not an issue at all unless your an extremely uptight person.
The food is awesome, I loved the lobster taco's and the chicken burger was also great. Â The drinks are even better than the food... Amazing drinks!!! Â The Bare bartenders really know what their doing. Make sure you try the Raspberry Lemonade and the Lava Flow, those are 2 of Bare's signature drinks.
Finally, the staff is really great and considering how busy it gets (especially around 3-5pm) they do an incredible job of keeping the place clean.
I would highly recommend Bare Pool to both locals and tourist... it's a great time!
I have only been here once, but it was an interesting experience. I haven't been to a full blown pool party yet, but my roommate had some comps here so we check it out. I was kind of shocked about how small the pool was, but the cabana and bottle service was good.
I was a little bummed that I couldn't use the glass wall pool, and when I got in the little one, there was a lot of hair floating around in it. It is a European pool, so it is topless. I felt a little strange even just giving people a friendly smile. Â Maybe that is just me, but it was still a fun time. Â The food was good and it is an adult pool so it has music and no kids.
As Vegas dayclubs are usually crazy, I loved this place for the opposite reason.
Me and a girlfriend came on a Monday and it was pretty calm. The place is a lot smaller compared to others (Ex. Wet Republic), but it was still cool. Decor is really nice. There was really no place to camp unless you made a reservation for a lounge chair, daybed, cabana, etc. My friend asked a security dude up front where we could go and he hooked us up with someone else. That guy ended up getting us a couple of lounge chairs for free (they were supposed to be $50 a piece that day). Hooray!
So the place is chill and the weather is great. The DJ has the music goin. The pool wasn't packed and even looked clean! I was in heaven.
This place is also a topless pool party, but there wasn't much to look at. A few older busoms, some topless lesbionic action...that was pretty much it.
Downside, my friend and I drank a pitcher of....I wanna say it was called the Raspberry Lemonade something? Didn't feel a buzz at all. I'd probably stick to shots or something next time. My friend also got her phone stolen by some chicks. NOT COOL.
As pool clubs in vegas go, I must say our group really enjoyed Bare.
Unlike some places where you feel like you might need a Haz-mat suit to enter the water (aka Rehab) or have to spend a fortune on a marginal cabana just to skip the line (for most guys, granted, we know people, but I've seen some really miserable faces in that line) (aka Wet Republic), Bare is a blast with great music, great service, and really decent cabanas.
If you are with your guys, make sure you upgrade to one of the two with large flat screens, especially when keeping an eye on the FBB team. they also have retractable canopies which are CRUCIAL on 100+ days.
As for the girls, yes, the other reviews have it down, by about 1-2 PM it's 50% topless. Combination of the heat and the delicious drink menus (and that girl from Australia who was running around making every girl take her top off, or if she refused, pulling if off for her).
I would definitely go back to Bare on a Saturday or Sunday. If you are there for a weekend, I would suggest Wet Republic, Encore, or Marquee for the other day.
And if you are a little toasted and need something really fun (and promise not to jump the fence or fall in the dolphin tank) check our the Dolphins, Tigers and Lions right next door. Seriously the most active (and crazy close) big cat and dolphin experience I've ever seen short of swimming with them (the dolphins of course).
I think tanning topless is really awesome, unfortunately not many other patrons felt the same way. Wait, let me rephrase that. I'm sure they appreciated my tits being out and thought they were awesome and all (which they are), but not enough ladies were bringing the twins out to play.
Why the hell are you at a topless pool wearing a swim suit top?
One cool thing I did see was a body builder looking dude in the pool covered head to toe in sparkly shiny glitter stuff. Weird! And another thing that was at least interesting was when I ventured in to the pool I saw a clump of unidentifiable debris floating by. Yummy!
I hope no one pays to get in here, it is pretty much free. The bouncer when we showed up goes to my dude friend, "So how many ladies did you bring"
Friend, "Uh, I guess I brought 3"
Bouncer, "Nice, you're in there!"
Friend, "Um, thanks?"
Then my friend wasn't let in because she tried to bring a 12" dildo in just for fun. So note to others thinking of coming here, leave you're 12" dildos at home!
If I had big boobs, I would go here again and show them off. Â Unfortunately, I'm not gifted and I'm too chicken to get fake ones..
The place was cool.. drink tickets.. free entry for 11 girls. Â Can't complain about that. Â
I do not remember much, due to the amounts of drinking I inhaled as early as 1pm.
But I was told, my LAKERS booty shorts got all the guys talking. Â And eventually we were able to hangout in VIP til they kicked our big butts out. Â Oh well.. we were the only minorities up in there.. so we said DEUCES.. and tanned at the Mirage pool LOL
This was my first time visiting Bare and I must say I am a fan. Obviously my experience probably was influenced by the fact that I am a girl and did not have to pay for anything there. I think the cabanas are $500, the pitchers are $60, drinks are Vegas priced (nothing under $15) and I did not scope out the food menu but people seemed to love the pizza there.
The pool is very compact and the lounge area is much smaller than most Vegas pool venues. In the vip section there is a standing hot tub type pool which is actually pretty cool. The crowd was cool and I would say about 50% of the girls were topless. Even with the topless factor guys were not disrespectful or gawking. Everyone seemed pretty mellow and just relaxing. I would recommend this pool venue for sure.
My sister and I were walking into the Mirage just on a whim to explore inside the hotel for fun and a promoter approached and asked us if we wanted to go to a pool party. We looked at each other and said "Uh, sure!". We weren't in pool attire, just regular summer clothes (tank/skirt and a dress). We got in for free and he got us towels. There was no where to sit by the pool, obviously, and besides we weren't even in bikini's. We went and sat by the bar instead and had a drink. The pool was pretty packed and was much smaller than I thought it would be a for a Vegas style, 21 and up pool. Not a bad thing though, because it made it feel more intimate.
The DJ was really good and I loved the music. Interestingly, the music at the pool was better than the music at some of the clubs!
I felt a bit over-dressed but then again we weren't planning on going to the pool so whatever. We stayed for like an hour then headed out. As were we leaving more and more people started showing up. Even though we ended up there on a whim, overall, I enjoyed myself. The weather was nice, the drink was good and the music was fab. It was a nice way to enjoy my afternoon.
While there is a new trend of pool parties being hosted at Florida hotels, nothing compares to party at Bare Pool. Completely separate from the regular lackadaisical hotel pool at the Mirage, Bare Pool has its own private walkway to get into this enchanted place. I admit it is a bit pricey $100- for a chair! But, that includes $100 worth of services, and they allow more than one person to sit on the chair. My friend and I were definitely in the Vegas spirit and splurged (I mean I had just paid $100- for a mani pedi for the wedding I was going to be in that night)- If you aren't interested in seating, there is a bar that you can sit at and towel service is $20- you can also put your towel down by the pool, but then you can never have shade.
The service was great, but more than that, this was a total club scene in the AM hours. The crowd was full of beautiful people. Not too many women actually take their tops off, though it is called Bare Pool. This could have been because they were filming something at the time, but I'm guessing it is more for the 21+ and the party scene rather than you can forgo the tan lines that people flock to this pool.
The pool is beautiful and has two levels. The second level is higher and has a glass wall so you can see the people walking through it. The pool is more like a wading pool, but when you've come to party with a drink in your hand, it is a bit hard to swim. No kids allowed!! I think is one of the best parts about the pool. Not that I don't love kids, but it's hard to get your groove on when they are around.
They have plenty of food and beverage options, and there is also a small gift shop at the front of the lounge.
Came here for Rockstar Weekend, and there was NO topless, so this is my review of that, haha. There was a stage over the pool the night before, so it had just been refilled and was pretty clean. We got in quickly, everyone was free and we got wristbands through Rolling Stone for open bar. Didn't count for food though unfortunately, which was all I wanted. $19 for a Turkey Panini, ouch! It was pretty good, 3 stars.
There's some type of strange caste system going on here. Apparently if you're part of the proletariat, you're screwed. You stand or go in the water. Next step up, you get a lounge chair. That's where I was. Next step up, you get a cabana, that seemed nice. Apparently that started at $1500. Not bad in terms of Vegas prices.
Then there was this Ultra VIP area with this badass see through bubbly pool that was roped off with more cabanas. I want to go to there. But alas, I could not. And I probably will not, because unless its completely free and not topless again, I probably wouldn't be returning.
Went here with my best friend when he turned 21 two years ago. We went during the week and he had never been to a "topless" pool lounge. After deciding to head down to our own casino's pool, we spotted the entrance to Bare. We decided to go and hang out here. Before we started we were told we had to wait as we had a group of 4 guys. What the hell? From where we were standing there was plenty of room for us to go in. After waiting 15 min, Â we had to pay a $40 entrance fee to get in and I thought this better be the best damn pool lounge in Vegas. For 40 bucks I could get hammered super easily. I had to remind myself I was here for my best friend's birthday. The area is really small too. I was expecting a huge party area.
Our experience sucked big time. When we went, the pool was absolutely disgusting. The water was murky and there were a bunch of dudes hanging in there. I don't feel like catching some disease in that pool. Common sense dictates that if you're going to go into a murky pool, don't do it. Even if you're drunk, you'll realize that a murky pool is disgusting. People dancing? Just a bunch of dudes trying to gawk at the topless women. Topless women? None to be found. There were some good looking girls but they seemed more interested in getting a tan than chatting it up with my friends.
So my friends and I were hanging in the bar area and after ordering alcohol, we go to try and find a seat somewhere. Can you stash your stuff somewhere? NO. Don't bring any extra stuff with you. Do we sit near the guy laden pool? Hell no. Can we sit on the poolside seats? NO! If we wanted to sit there we had to reserve them in advance. Let's head up to the second floor where there are bigger pools. I guess not as the bouncer rejected my friend saying we had to pay more to go up there. The cabanas are obviously expensive so we knew not to even try and sit over there.
The one plus is the bar. They know how to serve mean alcohol but their prices were a little heavy handed. It's part of Vegas! The waitresses and bartender were friendly.
We ended up leaving after an hour of doing absolutely nothing. 40 bucks down the drain. Thankfully I kept drinking the whole time so I had a great buzz going. Other than that, this place was not worth it for us. If you want to experience the Vegas Pool Lounge party, go to Rehab. Rehab makes this place look bad. Never going again to Bare.
I loved it! Â
For as many times as I've flashed fellow party goers during festive occasions, I've never been to an adult pool venue. Â For those of you who don't know, adult pool = topless. Â I found it to be liberating and fun. Â And no screaming kids.
I liked that the vibe was chill and not on the crazy/frenzy frat boy "ohmygodnakedchicks" tip. Â We were there during the week. Â Seemed like there were lots of couples. Â Everyone was nice and respectful. Â Sure, guys were checking out my lovely pillows, but most seemed pretty mellow and weren't drooling, douchey assholes. Â And I didn't notice any obvious boners on display. Â I have nothing against boners. Â But at Bare, I don't want it to look like boy scouts could camp under your shorts.
One main pool and one smaller pool are available for cooling off between cocktails. Â The smaller pool is more intimate and has jets. Â Not a hot tub, mind you, but it was slightly warmer than the main pool. Â Perfect for having a quiet conversation with a new friend.
The dj wasn't really doing a dj sort of thing. Â If you heard a Kanye song, rest assured you'd likely hear at least four more. Â Not necessarily bad, but the music could have been more varied.
Go! Â Have fun you crazy kids..... Â I certainly did!
Came here on 5/21/10 with my twin and hubby. First thoughts, "This is it? Really?"
We arrived around 2:00pm and there was no where to sit or layout, but one of the Bare Pool hosts did come up to us and offered us a daybed as soon as one came available (1 star). The pool is the same size of Tao Beach...We actually almost went in to beat the heat but they kicked everyone out to drain the pool because some breezie couldn't handle her alcohol...nasty!
Drinks are typical Vegas prices. I had my usual (goose and tonic) and it tasted watered down, too much ice and on the small side.
Topless pool? Sorry to inform you excited gents but the only ladies showing off their twins are old cougs w/saggers.
We were simply walking towards the Mirage's tiger exhibit when we got approached by one of the Bare staff members; he gave us tickets for free admission and a free cocktail to 5 of us girls. Another Vegas perk of going with a pack of girls! It was totally unexpected and random. We took the tickets, headed to Bare, got in right away, and got our free cocktails. I ordered a vodka cranberry.
It was a Saturday in August and that pool area was PACKED. They had really good techno music and it was definitely good people watching. I didn't see any open chairs so we just walked around and hung out for about 30 min. I could have easily stayed but some of my friends wanted to leave. Oh well, next time I guess!
I went to Bare right when it first opened and had one of the best Vegas experiences ever. It wasn't crowded, and we had a bottle. Apart from some of the creepy older men (who would pay $40 to go into a pool...oh you would) The vibe was so great.
I loved the music, and lounging around toppless drinking with all my girls.
The "VIP" jacuzzi seemed at one point more full than the pool, but nice still.... the infinity look is nice.
much more intimate feel and exclusivity than Rehab...
I spent three afternoons at the Mirage pool and one of them was here. Â I should have been at Bare the whole time.
if you are a girl, there is really no reason not to go. Â you get in free, can basically get a chair for free if you ask nicely, and if you are thinking its a no holds barred nude prostitution pool, you are wrong. Â when i got in i think 4 people had their tops off, which was honestly kind of lame because you would think that based on the hype and the name this would be a way less inhibited place than anything you've seen before. Â the music is roughly 50 times better than at the regular pool, and the people are better looking. Â and no kids! Â and the spa is above ground and transparent - sexy! Â
i felt bad that my boyfriend had to pay $40 to get in, but he got to look at a few different sets of boobs for a few hours... so i didnt feel THAT bad.
My favorite person there was a sixty-ish year old woman with a leathery tan, fake boobs, and a coyboy hat. Â topless of course.
The lack of overcrowdedness in itself is a good reason to go.
Good dj
not good topless women. Everyone was too self-conscious to take the leap.
Loooved the louginess of the pool.
Drinks are strong, the waitresses are really nice and very attentive. You don't need to shell out big bucks on a cabana to get good service - I like that.
Of all the "exclusive" pools we got into in Vegas, I was the least impressed by this one. It was so small, somehow I felt claustrophobic outdoors! As always, I liked that there was music - it does make the atmosphere. There were plenty of women baring their breasts, but only a handful that should have been. This was an interesting sight to see, and if it weren't for the intriguing people-watching I could do here, I would have much rather been outside the  exclusive gates with the masses of "regular" people who were actually having fun.
Sometimes I really don't understand the appeal of paying money or waiting in line for these pools. It oftentimes seems so much more fun at the regular pool. We left Bare and walked past a much larger pool with inner-tubes floating in a circular motion and mini waterfalls and tons of smiling people. In that moment, I was wishing I had just spent the afternoon there, but it's hard to decline an offer to something "exclusive," but now I know it's just the hype.
I would recommend Wet Republic or Tao Beach over Bare. If you want somewhere you can go bare, try Tao Beach... MUCH better looking crowd and a cooler atmosphere.
One of my favorite pools in Vegas!!!
And my husband's as well....to get to that point we have to travel back in time two years ago - shall we?
The year is 2006 and I conned him into going with me to a wedding in Riverside with a promise of a two night stay in Vegas - bribery worked. And after two days in Riverside - anything looks good. Off we went to the Mirage (the Miragey as he calls it)
Now I had prefaced going to the topless pool before hand and said he would like it. (There was an issue about me being topless around guys at a friends bach party at Mandalay Bay....) I convinced him my bewbies were only for him - but he could look at whom ever else he wanted to. Â He also wasn't thrilled about having to pay to get into a pool. I assured him he would like it.
After roaming around the main pool and watching all of the screaming crumb catchers, he was thinking topless. A few bucks later on a Sunday morning and we were poolside with a nice comfy chair. He loved it - so much I think my bar tab for us was $200.00 - someone likes 32 oz Grey Goose and vodkas. Did I mention we met Kevin Connely from Entourage? Ballers
Fast forward to last weekend - Â In town for Marsizzles B-Day extravaganza and we were all to meet up at Bare for a Saturday booze fest. The place was packed - however we did have bed rentals - so it was bearable. It was sausage heavy - and not with hot eye candy sausage. But, I did score some cute skull and cross bone pasties and was rockin them in the pool. Surounded by sweatband wearing goofs.
This pool is the bomb - small and intimate with great employees, hot servers and kick ass DJ - if only I could wade in the water without Jersey Gino trying to grab a bewbie.....
