Writing part of this as I'm in the club... Yawn... I stayed at Harrah and kept hearing that it's free for people staying here. Yet it wasn't free for a group of 6 ladies! Now, in my opinion, ladies should always be free at least before midnight or something. Wherever women are, men will follow. Rule of thumb. Anyway paid $20, reduced admission, for a pool that I could access for free on a normal booked hotel day. $300 for a one night stay and b!tch I can't get in the club for free?! Mannnn! The DJ was booty, the guys were roided out and the females... The girl with those stretchy jean booty shorts with the pockets spray painted on, you know good and damn well your butt was too frumpy to be in those shorts!
Now that I've gotten that off my chest the review talking about women and cellulite, you have the douchy NERVE to be so judgemental. That club is on the cellulite body level. This is not a prestigious venue. Most on importantly they are on your level.
Now the chick with those spray painted pocket shorts on, she should have known better. Cellulite is normal but them shorts wasn't. This club was just not good at all. Especially the music. Anything can be bypassed, except for violence, if the music is pumping. What type of instrumental crap are they playing? Then some guy came on the mic and started rapping?! I just... I don't know man.
This is a great place to go and chill if you're in the mood to catch herpes. The staff is nasty and useless. The only entertainment is the collection of snooki wannabes and past their prime soccer moms getting trashed to forgot what an overpriced dump they are partying in. Save your money, sanity and a visit to the std clinic by staying far, far away from this dump.
Review Source:Dancing on uneven, damp tiles is not my idea of a good time. Â A red bull, with no vodka, costs over $8. Â If you go into the ladies room, you will see at least one girl puking her guts up, one group of girls (most likely a bachelorette party) fighting, and another girl sobbing her eyes out. Â It's just not my scene.
Review Source:I have been here a few times now , and they just have the unfortunate circumstance of being reviewed by me after my last visit (I gave it a 3 from past good experiences) i would rate my past experiences 4s but this last one id rate a zero
I was there 5/4/2013 , the atmosphere was great was there with a group of friends for a birthday party for one of them so had cool people to chill with , it really is an amazing venue , clean and fun with the occasional crazy people jumping in the pool.
Anyway this night was so lame , mostly because it had the WORST DJ i have every heard, serious this guy must of just had a playlist on shuffle. Â The entire night he would not play more than 25 seconds of a song before switching to another song. That's not a bad thing to do if a DJ works on his transitions , but he was going from up beat to slow songs , from heavy base to no base. Â Half the songs were still in there intro and ramp up phase before he switched to another song. No one could get anything going , you look around and NO ONE was dancing , you have a club with 98% of the people on the dance floor just standing around. It was proved to me that it was 100% the DJ cause some guy with a guitar came out to do a few songs and guest DJ. He played 2 songs on his guitar and let 2 full songs play out , the places started hoping , tons of people dancing good vibe....then the other DJ came back for more or the same 20 second and switch BS and that was the end of that.
Club manager people i hope you read this and learn from it , get better DJs especially on a Saturday night ,you cant have a guy switching song every 20 seconds unless it has a good transition , i swear the DJs spent more time yelling there names and their buddies names up there then they did working on the music .
I could of been a better DJ if i just went up plugged my phone in and put Pandora on and let songs play in full. Every one I was speaking to around me pretty much felt the same way. Â A club with no Dancing...WTF?
Group of friend came here for my Girlfriends birthday. Pauly D was spinning. Everyone was hating on him in the bathroom because he was keeping it pretty Top 40. I'm not a club guy so in the end the music makes no difference to me. I was pretty wasted when we got there and I've always found myself pretty self amusing so I'm convinced that I could have been in a field in the middle of nowhere and had a good time. I told myself "only 1 or 2 $8 beers....milk them and get out" couple hours later I was a bunch of beers deep and close to broke on the evenings budget. Pauly D. didn't start spinning till about 12:30. We went up to the room at about 2:30 for a bit of a break but when we returned THE CLUB CLOSED AT 3! DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! Scheduled to close at 4 when the clocks went forward 1 hour they closed what felt like a hour early. The place is pretty big and they have gambling tables upstairs but they need more bathrooms. There was pretty much always a bathroom line and it was a pain to walk across the entire place every time you need the bathroom. I can assume the casino has enough money maybe cover to pool at night? If they could get a clear floor to cover the pool at the end of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead then Harrah's could probably pull it off on a nightly basis making much more dance space. In the end....I just wanna dance so give me some room!
Review Source:At Yelp's Winter Break Weekend this was a great event at night the pool area is transformed into a night club for everyone to enjoy. Â My friends and a got to the party early and the music wasn't too bad. Â We decided to come back a little later and proceeded to continue drinking back in the rooms. Â Unfortunately I never made it back to the Pool after Dark or this review would be a lot longer. But I enjoyed what time I did spend there and would definitely go back.
Review Source:When the sun goes down at Harrahs 'the pool' comes alive. Electric blue glows in the air as you walk though entrance. "Lets go be stars in here." Â -- --
First of all I'm not a club guy. Most of the clubs I've been to were only tolerable under heavy amounts of alcohol, and the only reason I went was to celebrate for someone else. Â In my honest opinion "The Pool," was pretty sweet. First of all the music was not ear bleeding loud. I never understood why people went to clubs where you have to scream to hear each other. Three days later you still have that annoying ringing in your ear. Don't get me wrong; its not like the music was quiet. It was at a good level. The Club itself is awesome. Beautifully decorated, the pool brings a whole other level of ambiance to the room. The beach theme decor and dancing girls in bikinis bring the shore inside Harrahs Casino. There is plenty of space with lots of places to dance or just chill. Another thing I love is that there are table games located upstairs. Playing casino games in a club is so James Bond, 007 level. Like I said before I'm not a club guy, but I am definitely looking forward to going back to The Pool.
I really like The Pool After Dark. I always have a good time here. It's probably my favorite place to party when in AC.
You can't really come here and complain about the Jersey Shore types. You are in AC, what else did you expect? This place is fantastic for people watching.
You know the drill: Get here early because the line can get crazy. And they usually have deals if you get here before a certain time. Also, drink before you come because the drinks are expensive.
The inside of this place is great because it's so big. I've never had to deal with it being too crowded. There's always space to move around.
The only real problem I have with The Pool After Dark is their Cabana deal. I wanted to originally go here for my sister's bachelorette party but it was way too much of a headache. We were already all staying at the hotel and ready to spend about $2000 at the club. Then they were saying that only 12 girls were free and the rest would have to pay to get in. Also, they told me the cabana only sat 2 girls, the rest would need to stand. The lady I was talking to was just rude. It's not worth the price for what you get. If you are in AC and want to go somewhere with bottle service, go somewhere else.
After Dark - key words here.
The pool during the daytime is a mild whirlwind of fun. The glass, dome ceiling provides plenty of sunlight, almost giving the effect and feel of an outdoor pool.
But alas, it's still an indoor pool and not all of the beautiful flora in the world can change that.
However at night...well, you know what they say about who comes out at night. The freaks.
It gets a little crazy here at night, but if you embrace your inner Jersey Shore cast member you will shine bright like a diamond.
If you're a guy, do a few more push-ups and make sure to wear your best smedium T-shirt. Ladies, double up on the push-up bra and lashes and just embrace this place for what it is and what it can become...
a shit show.
I went to The Pool on Saturday 3/9/13 to celebrate a friend's birthday. Â This was my second time there (the first time was about 3-4 years ago) and right when I walked in I remembered why it took such a long time to return.
Because Pauly D is the resident DJ, the cover was higher as well as the line to get in. Â We purchased tickets online in advance for $23 each (that includes an [in]convenience charge). Â We picked up our tickets at around 5pm from the will call.
We still had to stand in a line but not too long. Â Once we got in (we arrived around midnight) the place was pretty packed. Â From what I observed- if you have a VIP cabana/hot tub (that is, if you want to spend the money on it) you will probably have a much better time than those of us wandering around holding our drinks. Â When I went a few years ago there were tables to put your drinks down on, but they've seemed to take those away. Â Because the pool itself and the VIP sections take up so much surface area, there is only so much space for everyone to stand. Â It was just overall awkward, not to mention annoying with the bathroom so far away and the crowd only flows in one direction. Â At one point to get to the bathroom I had to walk along the pools edge and if I was at all tipsy, would surely have fallen in. Â I'm not into house/techno which wasn't an issue because Pauly D played top 40 the entire hour I stayed. Â Most of the crowd responded negatively, it seemed.
I went to the Pool After Dark as part of Yelp's Winter Break Weekend. It's really cool...it transforms from the nice little pool area in the day to its naughty alter ego at night. There was a cool vibe and all the folks were out ready to have a good time. The DJ played a good mix of music; however sometimes there were some strange mixes in there, but no big deal.  The Go Go dancers  were struttin their stuff and boy, did they!  If you're a people watcher like me, this is a place to go. Â
The drinks were reasonably priced and good. The cover is pretty high, and the lines get pretty long, so try to take advantage of any specials that they might have. Overall, decent place to party.
Such a letdown. Went here last Wednesday (3/13/13), and the greatest perk here is how beautiful the venue is. Everything else was a bore.
Price: (4/5) Was in the Ace City guest list before 12AM & had to pay 10 dollars, even though I was staying at Harrah's.
Venue: (3/5) Beautiful. The venue really was amazing. Pool in the middle in a glass dome with pink, blue, & purple lights, surrounded by cabanas. BUT with all the girls wearing killer high heels, the pool just didn't make sense. The floor was tiled, so it was hard walking around in stilettos. One tile itself was rough, so it was so hard to walk around. That and there was water from the pool everywhere!!! Ladies were struggling.
Music: (0/5) Wow. There were 3 DJs there, and that's probably why the music won't stay with one song for more than 20-30 seconds. Y'know when you finally get into the rhythm of one song only to have it changed to a completely different song that was a different tempo and rhythm so quickly? Music absolutely sucked. It was also such a weird mix of songs. It'll go from old school hip hop to electronic music to top 40's to techno music. IT WAS SO BAD.
Crowd: (1/5) Saw some guidos but wasn't as bad as everyone put it out to be. However, what kinda bothered me was how there were a bunch of old people there. I don't want to be shallow and mean. I like it when older people can get down, too, but it was just creepy having them try to pick up younger women. There was almost no dancing. People just stood around. There wasn't much room to dance in the first place. The people were either old or just standing around.
As for other things to mention, people would throw cups and bottles of beer into the pool. I mean, c'mon. And girls would take off their shoes and stand in the shallow parts of the water then put their shoes back on. I just find that gross.
And lots of douchebags here, too.
Best to go to Borgata next door and go to mur. mur instead. Didn't check out MIXX, but I'm sure it'd be better than The Pool, too.
The pool is absolutely gorgeous + I love the vibe of the whole place. Â Flashing lights, gogo dancers, and the amazing view of the lit hotel exterior. Â Bartenders are nice, music is pretty good. Â However, the music seemed to be only coming out of speakers from the stage - I wish there was more bass and surround sound! Â Drinks are expensive, but that's expected - $13 for a shot of patron. Â Crowd was mostly 20 something year olds.
Review Source:The Pool is beautiful inside, but they really need to make some tweaks.
I went on a Friday night for free, which was pretty cool. When we got inside, my eyes were greeted by a huge, mostly naked dancer girl's ass. After shrugging that sight off, my friends and I scouted out the place and the set up is beautiful. There are palm trees and colored lights everywhere. There is a giant pool in the middle of the dance floor, adding to the challenge of actually dancing in this club. Â
I wore sky-high heels for the fancy dress code here, which was a terrible idea because the floor is made of uneven stone. Bad idea number one on their part. Since there is a giant friggin pool in the middle, some areas of the floor were flooded. Safety hazard much? I was generally paranoid to dance near the pool because you could easily fall in/be pushed in by stupid drunks. I was mildly disappointed that I didn't get to witness this. As to be expected, there were some creepers, ranging from lines such as "I'm gay but will you dance with me?" to "I've got a cabana up there if you want to go". Surprisingly I didn't see that many guidos. We went to the bar to get drinks and a single beer was $10, hahahaha no. I didn't even bother to drink.
The DJ was terrible and basically had ADD, playing about minute clips or less of songs, and he couldn't transition them into each other for shit. It was really annoying and hard to get a rhythm going, we actually got bored and left,. When we came back, no one else was dancing (again) so we created our own mosh circle and a couple of guys joined us, making for the most fun all night.
Basically go here to check out the atmosphere, but put your name on the guest list so you can get in for free. Then complain about it and go somewhere else better next time.
I've gone out dancing once or twice a week for almost the past decade, so I've caught a lot of DJ sets in my time - everything from world-renowned headliners to some kid's first time behind the decks in his friend's loft building's basement in Bushwick.
Of all those thousands of DJ sets, in all those different venues, over all those years (and yes, I'm counting DJ iPod, DJ Tripping Guy, and DJ Upstairs Neighbor's 6 a.m. minimal techno sets above my bed in my old building), DJ Pauly D at Harrah's Pool After Dark Party in Atlantic City this past Saturday was hands-down the worst.
First of all, the place is an acoustic nightmare. I suppose that's what happens when you take a swimming pool, put it under a glass dome, and call it a nightclub, but they didn't even seem to be trying (I noticed what appeared to be a mixing board, but nobody behind it.) We seriously got better sound by sticking an iPhone in a drinking glass up in our hotel room.
Secondly - Pauly D seems like a nice guy. He's fun to watch on reality television. He's pretty easy on the eyes. But he should not be allowed to spin out in public. My cat is better at beatmatching than that guy.
I've never seen that many people, on a Saturday night, having just paid a crapton of money to get into a club and another crapton to get drunk, just standing there waiting for something to happen. Anything. A beat to drop. A beat to match. A track to go on for longer that thirteen seconds. It honestly sounded like he was just up there flipping stations on the radio. (My friend later pointed out that he wasn't wearing headphones... so, y'know, there's that.)
Now, look - I wasn't there for the music, and I don't think anyone else was either. It was my friend's bachelorette party, she's a huge Jersey Shore fan, and we just wanted some goofy, trashy fun. We had reserved an (exorbitantly expensive) cabana with bottle service, gotten dolled up in our trashiest Jersey-wear, and arrived three sheets to the wind. But the combination of terrible music, terrible sound, and a crowd that wasn't interesting to look at and didn't seem to be having any fun really killed our vibe.
Toward the end of the night we took over a hot tub (they are also reservation-only, but I guess the people who had reserved it left early), stripped down to our swimsuits, and had fun sliding down the metal railing into the water. That was the highlight of the evening.
The lowlight was when I realized someone had walked off with my watch, which I'd taken off and left near the edge of the hot tub. It wasn't a super-nice watch (so why steal it?), but I like to know what time it is without having to dig for my phone. When I asked about it at Lost and Found the next day (it was a long shot, but I figured I'd try), the security guard even admitted that things get stolen at that party on a regular basis.
Classy.
I would have given this a solid one-star review, except that the hot tub was nice, the pool-party concept is cool (even if the execution is crappy), and the lighting design was really beautiful.
Otherwise - yeesh.
I honestly had s great time here during the day. I think it is a nice salt water pool which was extremely relaxing and I loved the palm trees too. Personally, I think the pool itself should have a separate yelp business page from this since they're basically two different things minus being the same venue. The purposes are different from one another.
Now for Pool After Dark...
Guidos and Guidettes. I'm pretty sure I have never seen as many of the over baked guidos I saw here ever in my life. They had on way too much Old Spice Swagger too. They probably dumped the whole bottle on them with how much cologne and fragrant body wash I smelled. This was Jersey Shore on steroids!!!!
I'm came here for Yelp Winter break so I was spared the $30 cover entree fee. Thank goodness. I've never heard of paying this much to get into a club, and this wasn't even a real club! It was a pool....
No one really used the pool except this one socially awkward guy who cane up to me asked me to join him. Um, no thank you. I might be THAT person usually, but I was letting him be 'that person' that evening.
Drinks are so overpriced. You pay $12 for a vodka cranberry in an extremely small cup with more cranberry than vodka. Deluded with ice and juice isn't a real drink to me.
The music was bumping with a good mix of early 2000s to now music. I enjoyed the variety and the DJ was getting down with it too.
Overall 3.25 experience. I don't know if I'd return in the night simply because a $30 cover could be put to much better use elsewhere.
What I saw on my last visit to The Pool:
1. a chubby girl in a see-thru red dress that barely covered her anatomy
2. a gaggle of geese, I mean girls, in heels so high they were literally Crip Walking.
3. a 9-month pregnant woman dancing sensually as she was photographed by her partner.
And that was within the first 10 minutes after entering.
I would never pay to get in here. That said, I did have a really good time the last time I was here. I came for my friend's 26th birthday, and since she had a room at Harrah's for the night, we got free admission to The Pool. After waiting in line for a little, I had my ID checked, checked, and checked again by a bouncer. He looked at my license, then me, then my license again. Then he asked me to smile. Then he asked me to turn my head. Then he asked me to turn my head and smile. Sheesh.
Drinks are ridiculously priced and the bars are usually 3-deep at any given time. I didn't pay for any drinks this night so I was pretty happy, and also the bartender comped me a drink which was awesome. The DJ was great that night but the majority of the dancers looked miserable. There was one girl who actually had a lot of energy and at least attempted to look like she was enjoying herself.
We ended up in VIP where I'm pretty sure I was drinking someone else's bottle service. Oh well. It's gorgeous inside, but the flooring is not really conducive to high heels.
The first time I came to The Pool After Dark, I was called a grenade by some juiced up guido.
Now I never proclaimed myself to be Bar Refaeli, but I AM NOT A GRENADE!! Â ARGH!! Â Needless to say, I was scarred for life.
Despite this, I made another trip to The Pool After Dark, hoping to come out of it unscathed. Â This is a pretty standard club- overpriced drinks, girls in tight dresses, go-go dancers performing, dorky investment bankers getting bottle service, songs with Pit Bull saying "Calle Ocho! Â Mr Worldwide!" fifteen times. Â But it's a decently fun place if you roll in with a group of girlfriends.
The first time I visited, there were a ton of people in the pool, but not so much the second time around. Â The pool really is gorgeous and the decor at this club does make you believe you are somewhere tropical, which is cool. Â Bring your bathing suit, if you feel like hopping in.
Tip: Â If you are staying in Harrahs, go downstairs before 11 pm and pay the reduced rate. Â Get your hand stamped and then go back to your room and down some drinks. Â Once you are liquored up, head back downstairs. Â Your liver will not thank me, but your pocketbook will, for sure.
soooooo freaking nice!!!! Palm trees, cabanas, fun club lights, and go go dancers dancing on the water! 2 levels, gambling on the second level and a bar. this place is so huge, there were lots of people and it didn't seem to get packed.
we got free admission with a yelp event on Saturday nigth, but its like 30 bucks cover for this place. we were also staying at harrahs for a yelp event, so we went "down" around 11:30ish....long lines...waited about 10 minutes to get in on the VIP line, which i didn't really understand being that is was not really all that packed when we arrived.
first things first.....trip to the bar. we went to the second level, friendly bartender. drinks are 10-11, pretty strong and nice size cup (plastic cup that says "pool after dark" on it, thought it was really cute..lol). vodka and redbull....great...cheers!
DJ was kind of corn ballish!.....heard some weird choices of songs! but we had a good time and did dance our butts off!! lots of pop music, some hip hop, alil raggea and no one spanish song! (i'm boriqua) there were some weird throw backs and way too much mix'in it up!!
Lots of "drunk stumblers"....which i could do without, but i guess that means the drinks are good....lol. young crowd....plus some gamblers and "sopranos" looking folks.....lol
no pool attire please....this is a club! there were like 2 weirdos in the pool and a girl that got pushed in with her dress and was walking out the pool looking like she didnt know where she was!!...LOL
great place to party...will def be back!
AC BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
My third trip to AC and I always come to this place at least once! Before I've only gone at night for the club but this was my first time going during the day. This place is so fun and exactly what you want in the middle of winter!
During the day it really is like an outdoor pool, the huge windows make you feel like you're outside with cabanas and bars. I wasn't able to swim because of a recent surgery (so sad) but it looked like a lot of fun!
At night the music has always been good, there are small bars throughout the club and 2 big bars on either side. The dancers are kind of cool and the music has always been good, they play all the pop/hip hop hits. I've even been guilty of taking my shoes off and standing on the stairs of the pool to dance. I've even see quit a few people jump in the pool with their clothes on (including me and some of my friends, a few drinks will do that to you! Don't judge!)
The reason I took a star off is because on the weekends at least, the line can be RIDICULOUS! It might be free before a certain time but waiting in that line for an hour could cost you like $30, I almost ditched my friends that were already inside. I don't do lines or pay to get in.
Overall, fun night! A good way to burn at least half the calories you've eaten over your stay in AC and a nice little getaway from the cold winter!
Gorgeous nightclub that's a nice idea with the pool setting but it really wasn't my scene.
Don't know if its a usual trend here but the DJ mixing the night I went sucked. The energy was completely dead and no one was into the music at all (go figure). The types of people in there were Jersey Shore types, if that's what you're into. The men to women ratio is pretty high too.
I'm scraping for positives....I think the best part of the club were the smoking hot Go Go dancers, especially the hula hooper...
I would give Pool After Dark another shot maybe in the summer when the atmosphere and weather lends itself to hotter club nights.
The pool after dark (henceforth known as PAD) is the largest collection of disastrously drunk, booty dropping, first pumping, hair didding shore and not-so-shore peeps...i've ever had the privilege of witnessing exist in one place.
PAD in numbers:
30.....gallons of gel used for those guys to keep their tips frosty and mohawks n' spikes defying gravity...
30.....dollars I should have paid to get in. Â Maybe 40?
0.......dollars paid to get in thanks to YELP!
100...or so people cut thanks to that awesome list I was on..
1.......person arrested, putting up a pretty big fight.
1.......friend sticking up for the arrested person, yelling at people to put their phones away
12.....people videotaping that very incident despite the frantic friend
400...songs played in two hours, maybe more.
1......girl booty dropping so hard I thought she was definitely going to fall in the pool. Â I was, in fact, rooting pretty hard for it.
1......guy trying to hit on a girl by chasing her around yelling "YO! Â YO! Â YOU! Â YO!" Â She, thankfully, did not respond to such a romantic attempt.
20+...fake tans noticeable in the dark
2......WTF tans
150...total minutes spent dancing and observing
0......dollars spent on drinks. Â They were small and I can only imagine how much they were charging.
Left the club, hit up the penny slots and ordered drinks on the machine. Â Drank a few and lost $20. Â Well, well worth it.
The PAD is...unique. Â I'm no mega-clubber, but i'd be hard pressed to pass up another invite. Â Next time, lets roll bottle service. Â Your treat.
So I was here TWICE during the weekend of Yelp's Winter Break.
The first time was for the DAY party. We had the whole lounge to ourselves and there was a fabulous taste of Atlantic City food fest going on. Steak and cheese, short ribs, shrimp, seafood salad, tacos, bacon popcorn ice cream, and drinks, drinks, drinks. Pair that up with a lounge chair by a heated pool with access to the aqua-volleyball or the hot tubs (cess pools) and Ruggy J. on the wheels of steel (or macbook of steel) and you have yourself a wonderful afternoon.
For the night time event, I probably should have stayed home. I was already (como ce dice?) blotto from the afternoon. Tired. Hair was a mess. And slightly cranky. But no. I went out partying anyway. Ugh. I left the night party (yes, even after all of the rigamarole I had to go thru to get in) and went upstairs to bed.
The day party at the Pool After Dark: I'm a fan! The real purpose of the Pool After Dark? Eeek, methinks not.
Came here for a yelp event. The Pool After Dark club party at Harrah's is in their Pool greenhouse. Always at a warm temperature it's a great venue as i like the ambiance of palm trees, swanky large pool, DJ booth and stage. As we had VIP entrance we didn't have to wait on line but i could see the line stretching down Harrah's walkway and it's quite pricey to get in. They have a nice upstairs gaming area too for gaming or to look down at the dance floor for people watching and a large lounge area in the back for events.
Awful DJ that night that had no clue on how to get a dance floor going. Besides the occasional good songs to dance to this place was great for people watching. Watching the Jersey shore folks strut their drunken selves it was better than watching MTV Jersey shore. Topped it off at the end of the night with a drunken "situation" with his beer muscles throwing down with another club goer before 8 security folks took a beatdown to him. It isn't Jersey till a spray tanned "gorilla" as snooki would say  throws down. Felt like i was at "Karma" haha.
I have to say the Go Go dancers were slammin' though.
The crowd is quite amusing at this party. It seemed to be ready to have a pool party, you know wearing swimsuits/beachwear. LOL JK Â It was somewhere between the contest of wearing the shortest (same style) dress and the best way to shuffle in those awfully high heels (as most of them could not walk in them let along at a poolside - bitch please) Â For guys, it was a contest between whose hair looks the greasiest, Â how well their physique and fuckability is voiced in the outfit they are wearing, and whether theres enough parfume to assert their manliness.
Best place to be is in the pool (mind you it IS a pool party) . This is where you get the optimal sound for the sound system. You can float in the pool and listen to the bass through the water - would have been amazing during a Trance show. Poolside is a bit loud, speakers are not placed optimally enough to actually make the music sound good.
The two of us were the only people in the pool trying to enjoy the music, (in hopes that the top 40s from past 20 years will get better) By 12:30 we could not stand any more overplayed tunes and bailed. This would have been amazing with trance music, even some good house would do. I didn't even mind the crowdsince i didn't have to be in direct contact with it. And it was way fun to people watch from the pool.
If they played some decent music maybe a better crowd woul be drawn to the Pool After Dark parties. But as of now overplayed tunes bring only the Jersey Shore's finest.
Great idea, a pool party, go Harras! A few you things need to be desperately improved to make this a real party, though.
I don't know about you, but I love watching the MTV reality show, Jersey Shore.
I don't know about you, but I love being surrounded by bronzed-out guidos and guidettes, jumping around, fist pumping, "beating up the beat".
I don't know about you, but I love throwing fully-clothed (well, sparsely-clothed) chicks into the pool if they turn me down.
I don't know about you, but the only reason I hit the gym hard is to feel at home in a venue, JUST LIKE THIS.
wait...wha?!
** They should call this spot the Italian Gene Pool After Dark.**
Gotta admit the Pool After Dark is off the hook as an indoor botanical atrium that gets transformed into a Jersey Shore wannabe dance party at night. Yeah buddy!
Light show, gaggles of fake tanned Ronnie and Pauly D and Snooki imitators, over priced beer and cocktails, tatted up gogo dancer chicks, all being served up to pumping beats being mixed badly by local DJ's or on occasion more high profile talent that knows how to get a crowd dancing.
Still, this is a pretty cool spot to party at. This stuff you see here is like something out of Jersey Shore. Guys who think they are The Situation throwing girls into the pool. Groups of bachelorette parties fending off the advances of the guidos who hover close by. The hot mess of a show here when the booze kicks in is classic people watching. It's like a sport!
If you are willing to shell out $25-50 for admission, and wait on long lines for more popular DJ nights, or when they have a celebrity host/talent, then this place is a cool spot to get your drank on and beat up the beat!
If you are staying at Harrah's you do get comped admission, and look around for staff handing out passes by the main lobby to get in free before 11pm. It's worth it just to observe the show in this human petri dish!
Came here on a Saturday with a group of 8. Nikki Hilton apparently was here that night so they expected a huge crowd? We got a table, I think it cost about almost a grand or something with tax and grat all together. The service was great. And let me just say that it was humid as hell, don't wear a long sleeve dress like I did haha. Seriously consider bringing a bathing suit. I loved the lighting and the ambience of the whole place. Â Be careful if you make your way to the back near the bar ladies, it was pretty slippery on the tile floors. I ended up staying barefoot the whole night because my heel broke anyway. -_-"
The music was whatever. I'm not into EDM much and they played that non-stop.
Overall, it was a pretty fun experience, I would definitely go again.
Great Party!
Expect to pay like $20/25 at the door. Â For us people who hate paying at the door, I am sorry...there is likely nothing you can do about this. Â
Once you get in, it's not like regular clubs where you are rubbing elbows with everyone....here there's plenty of space and it's just great. Â
Drinks are $6 a pop. Â
They hire girls to dance on/in the pool, which is nice....I say head up to the roof and dance your butt off. Â The entire space is open and never gets packed. Â You get to see the fancy lights on the building while you're dancing..you have an epileptic fit and you keep on dancing. Â Haha
Great music too!!!
Horrible bouncers. Girls don't put out.
Had problems getting in because the bouncers claimed that the ID wasn't me because it didn't look like me, even after he verified it. Eventually got in. The place in general was nice. The outdoor smoking area was pretty relaxing. People were dressed well and the girls could have looked better. There plenty of AC newbies and guys that just couldn't handle the bar scene and plenty of guys who couldn't handle their liquor intake. A few guys were swimming.
I went out to get food right at the food court, which was conveniently located next to the entrance of the pool. When I tried to go back in, they denied me entry because the bouncer had "forgotten" to put a "wristband" on me. At first I thought they were just joking. They proceeded and tried to charge me again but I wasn't having it. Left, went to play blackjack, won 150. So, overall, it was a great night at AC, just not at this poor excuse of a bar/lounge/club/pool. Driving two hours just to get here isn't fun. I would have rather been at Revel or at least some other club. My advice if you wanna come here is to come in a mixed group of guys and single girls, because most of the girls here don't put out.
To sum it up:
Awful; Never coming back.
How to enjoy Pool After Dark: a 10 Point Practitioner's Guide.
1. Get on a guest list with Ace City for free admission (google Ace City Pool after dark for more info). They have a table right in front of the entrance where they give you a ticket for free admission.
2. Come before 11:15 as the line gets ridiculously long at ~11:30 and the wait time exponentially grows.
3. Even though it is a pool party, don't make a fool out of yourself and stay on the shore. Apart from a couple creepy guys and a handfull of fat chicks noone was in the pool.
4. If you are a single guy coming in search of a girl keep your hopes low as the ratio is roughly 3:1. If you are a girl, well, I suggest you also keep your hopes low:)
5. Get beer at the bar. Stay away from mixed drinks unless you want a $10 wanter with a splash of alcohol.
6. There is gambling upstairs. Generally, not a fan, but if you like gambling and loud music you'll enjoy it.
7. Bathrooms have speakers there. That's by far the best thing about this club.
8. Music is your Top 40 mix with songs changing every 45 seconds (somebody shoot me). A typical DJ with ADD...
9. Idk what was worse: the fat go-go dancers or fat chicks with cellulite on the dance floor in dresses that are 2 sizes smaller and flashing their business without warning. Now ladies, what's the right length of your skirts to wear in public? Correct, 2 inches below the cellulite. Please keep your sluttiness within reasonable limits.
10. This place is huge but most of it is occupied by the pool. Upstairs they have a big outdoor dance floor where they play some random mix of techno and pop and you have your fist pumping guido crowd (at that point I was starting to wonder where all the Situation-wannabies all went!)
Perfect place for people watching - that's about it.
Went here on a Wednesday night with friends so while it wasn't as packed as it usually is on the weekends, there was still a strong crowd. I also didn't have to pay for the cover that night because the woman at check in gave me a pass.
Music: The DJ was pretty good. He kept us dancing the whole night.
Drinks: Strong. I can't tell you prices because I got lucky and got all my drinks paid for that night.
Crowd: A lot of girls that just turned 21 and A LOT of sleazy guys. The guys like to touch and are creepier than your usual clubber. One of my girlfriends and I took a walk around to check out the guys but it was slim pickins. She was grabbed by a huge guy to sit on his lap at some point and we somehow made a getaway. Another guy tried speaking Japanese to us but I had to inform him that Asians don't speak the same language. Sloppy people galore. I watched someone throw up into one of the planters.
Venue: Huge. Props for the lighting and general ambiance. Smells like chlorine and sweat but what else do you expect? The floor is hard to walk on with heels on because it's uneven and rocky. Saw three people get into the pool with their bathing suits on to swim. The dancers are entertaining to watch.
If I go here again, I would need to hunt down one of the girls walking around the casino giving out free passes or talk my check in person into giving me one because I don't know if I'm willing to pay a cover for this place (especially on the weekend).
What happens in AC, stays in AC.
I came here with a group of my 4 girlfriends and didn't have to pay admission.
Drinks were cheap (6$ a pop for a mixed drink) and my bartender Arnel was a doll. I love him to pieces and would go back here just for him! Haha.
This venue is HUGE! and beautiful
***WARNING*** this place has a LOT of aggressive males here. I'm used to the crowd in NYC that leaves you alone. Here guys love to look & touch. Be careful ladies!
Good music, yummy girly drinks & a fun crowd.
Two thumbs up.
Pool party anyone?
Admission was free (we all stayed at Harrah's = comped admission) and we arrived at The Pool around midnight. You would think that the acoustics would be pretty awful considering it's an enclosed dome but the sound system was quite good.
The drinks in this place were strong. STRONG. And I don't think it was just because we were tipping heavily. Long cocktail/shot pours make us happy so needless to say, our bartenders kept us pretty happy.
The bouncers keep a close eye to ensure that no one falls into the pool, but two women decided to take it upon themselves to take a dip. They were floating in rafts but no one seemed to care (they were wearing long t-shirts and frumpy shorts...that was probably why no one cared).
Whatever you do, do not attempt to take a picture of the platform dancers. I saw the bouncers flip out on a few guys who had their iPhones in position, ready for an action shot.
Relax, killers...they only want a picture...and Jennifer Lopez these ladies are NOT.
