So, I was staying at the Hard Rock over the weekend for my friend's 21st birthday. It was his whole family and a whole bunch of his friends, some 21+, some younger. When we arrived on Friday we went straight to the all ages pool because of the range of ages in our group. Those of us who were older checked out the rehab pool and it rocked! Pretty low key just show your ID to the guy and have a good time. Awesome. Little did we know that is NOT how Saturday works (or I'm sure Sunday too for that matter but we just ignored the pool that day). So Saturday we head down to the all ages pool again and we got a cabana (for $$$). Probably around 11 we decide it'd be cool to check out the rehab pool again, so we try to show our IDs to the guy and he tells us that we need a wristband just inside the hotel. Ok, we walk to the entrance of the pool from the hotel and ask the guy there, that guy says no we need to go to the parking lot and get the wristbands but first we need to cover up (since we were all in bikinis) before we can walk to the parking lot to get out wristbands. Also, we each need a room key; 1 for every 2 people. Man. Fine. SO after changing back into regular clothes and finding an incredible amount of room keys we walk to the very opposite end of the hotel into the gross hot parking garage to get our wristbands. 1, we couldn't bring in drinks that we had seriously just bought from the same pool area not 30 minutes ago. 2, they wouldn't give my friend's 75 year old grandma a stupid wristband because she left her ID in the room. Understandable, but come on! So because we couldn't take our drinks in we got the wristbands then walked allllll the way though the hotel again and back to the pool from the hotel entrance. I mean what a waste of everyone's time!
TL;DR- Hotel guests who are already paying $$$$$$$$$ on cabanas and drinks should be allowed to get wristbands for Rehab easily. NOT have to jumble between a million people.
Best part, no douchebags. Â Didn't spill one drink, didn't get bumped once, someone actually bought me a drink. Â
Everyone is having a great time, everyone is uber friendly, beautiful people everywhere. Â
We party, this is by far the greatest party we've been too. Â Thanks! HardRock
Tip: Â Don't get in the water
This is the first Vegas pool party I've been to where I wasn't too sloshed to remember things.
We came at about 4 pm, (late for a pool party, I know) and were let in immediately. But only after they confiscated my lip gloss. Hrmph. And they wouldn't let me get it back when I left, either. What's with that?
When we got in, it was a maze of bodies. Most good looking too! That was great.
The pool bottom was all sand, which felt good to my toes. There were some blue beach balls being tossed around. The buckets of beer were reasonably priced, so we kept buying them.
Everything was pretty chill there, and still pretty packed even though there was no special DJ spinning. We stayed until about 7, and then napped off the party until EDC later that night.
Most recently went on a Saturday, so that's what I am reviewing (as opposed to the big Sunday Rehab parties).
We had a daybed right in front of the pool. Â Great setup, great environment, great music, and great fun! Â
It's a Vegas pool party, so it'll cost you a bit to have your fun, but you've been warned. Â Lol.
Enjoy!
I been to Vegas plenty of times and I must say I never been to this pool party ever.
Probably the only reason why I checked this place out was because the other more popular pool parties were charging over $100 + on male general admission since it was EDC weekend. NOT WORTH IT.
Anyways, I came to rehab yesterday with performers like Treasure Fingers, Robbie Rivera, Congorock, and Lucky Date (EDM dj's)
Crowd: It was really mix and it was more for the older crowd: 30-40s range compared to places like encore beach club or daylight which attract more 21+.
Layout: I love the layout of this pool! There are shade tents all around the pool and everyone was just relaxing all around the pool. I really love the sand in the pool as well! Definitely a good touch.
Music: Mostly all edm, but when the music bumped; the water splashed!
Pros:
-clean water
-love the sand
-good speakers
-insightful staff
-reasonable drinks
Cons:
-water is SUPER COLD.
-don't expect a crazy pool party like xs or marquee
Literally the worst experience of my life. Â Waited in the most disorganized, chaotic "line" (really just hundreds of people pushing, cutting and fighting) for three hours until we couldnt take it anymore and decided to leave. Â An absolute nightmare. Â And the tickets were nonrefundable so $80 tickets wasted for three hours of a living hell. Â I will NEVER be back.
Review Source:Monday afternoon rehab, free for 2 girls.
Pros:
- water was the cleanest here by far
- floor was also very clean
- curteous staff
- mini water slide
Cons:
- sand can get so hot that it hurts to walk across it
- water is ICE COLD
- DJ was playing boring music, i even caught the staff yawning. Â I wanted to party.
the crowd is a little older here, i would say mid 30's to 50's. Â there was not even one six pack to be found. Â and i was looking out for them the whole time. Â not the same as marquee and encore. Â too bad. Â
chill pool, old creepers, kinda laid back if not boring.
As you probably already know, this pool party is off the strip. For that reason I felt that the crowd was a little awkward. Not your typical crowd you're going to find at Encore Beach or Marquee. We had guest list and the line for that went quick, unlike most lines in Vegas. I was a little upset because we still had to pay $20 which the promoter never mentioned to us. Oh well. We were inside by 1:30 and it was already packed with nowhere to sit in the main pool. We found a side spot next to one of the bridges but it would have been nice to be where all the action was. Justice was djing and I'm not sure if it was a weak crowd or that just isn't the right type of music for the crowd because not many people were super into it. Either way, I personally thought they were amazing.
The lines at the bars were not long and it is nice how they have a few other pool areas if you want to take it easy. I bought 2 coronas and the total only came to $14. Not bad! But the pool security were really unfriendly and kept blowing their whistles at people. Overall I enjoyed my day but I don't think I would make the effort to come back here.
Rehab Pool Party. It was the first and I still say its the best and now that the Hard Rock has an entire multiple pool complex that you can walk through, there are now so many options to experience with your entry into ReHab. You can go to a restaurant, get drinks, swim in glass bottom pools. The pool complex was just amazing and ReHab is what it is. The original MTV pool party and all the other places just copy it. I was not impressed with Wet Republic or some of the others because its just like what another reviewer said.. All the other pool parties are about women wearing sarongs, wanting it quiet and NOT wanting to get their bodies or their hair wet. If that's the case then Why the F**k are you going to a party pool? If you want peace and quiet, go to your hotel's pool or any other pool. If you want wild, craziness, drunken antics that this place is legendary for then.... there are no substitutes. Â
Drinks are Huge and Yes if you go, you want to get there early and at least rent a chair or have a cabana. Use a VIP service of course. There are a few nice shade places that you can scope out for free if you get there early. Also, if you stay in ANY of the rooms at the Hard Rock, depending on what you pay for the room you either get a big discount or free pool entry. With Ins and Outs at that point Id get drinks from my room and you get to use the hotel guest line which is always quick to get in and out. Rehab Pool party on Sunday, so I check in to my room at HRH on Sunday with an early check in, so they take my bags to the concierge and hand me a wrist band and I'm in the pool by 11am, no wait, no problem.
When I want a fun, crazy pool party where just about anything can happen, I go to ReHab. Its time for another visit!!!
Keep in mind my review is a little biased because I was hung over like no other the day that I went so I probably wasn't experiencing it to its fullest. Ironic, considering the name. Â
First off, getting past security is a pain in the ass. I get it, they have a problem with people "powdering their noses" and need a means to control that. It's just a little inconvenient to wait in a long line, and then have to get out of the line to check a compact (no mirrors, compact, gum, water, etc.) at the front desk of the hotel. Travel lightly if you are planning on going to Rehab. Â
We were given a cabana which was small but cute with great service. Rehab is pretty big with a lot of entertaining things [read: human zoo] to look at. Music was decent, drinks were overpriced - typical Vegas. It's pretty big with swim up tables so you don't feel super cramped. A lot of cabana options. I would be hesitant about getting in the water though, because when we were in the cabana I saw two people REALLY gettin it in the water. I'm talking wave creating, baby making motions that would scare small children.
But other than that, it's pretty fun and at the very least, extremely entertaining. Just try to take it easy the night before -- wait, what am I saying? Man up & day drink to get rid of your hangover! :)
After years of hearing about how great this place was I decided to go there late last year. When we were walking in there were two people leaving in handcuffs. Not a good start. Apparently they were stealing people's stuff. It was free to get in that day which I'm sorry to say sometimes brings ghetto people and the wrong crowd. I can't blame that on Rehab though.
Because of that I decided to only bring my credit card and ID. The concierge desk held my other stuff for me.
It was extremely loud and I actually liked it. There were girls doing things to each other at the pool and outside the pool, if you know what I mean. Drinks were extremely expensive! That was a bummer and really only the only thing I didn't like about Rehab. I'd like to come back here. Maybe next time if there are more of us we'll get a cabana.
REHAB: TWO WORDS: SHIT STORM.
I'm gonna break it down in a few words:
1. DOUCHE LORD CENTRAL
2. Get a cabana/day bed.
3. Don't get in the water. You may get pregnant. I've seen many boys and girls going at it. People puke in there. JUST DON'T DO IT!
4. Don't forget to drink water. It's VEGAS. It's HOT and you're consuming massive amounts of overpriced alcohol. DRINK, WATER, DRINK, WATER (REPEAT). You don't want to be that sloppy bitch that gets wheeled out of the place. You will get bounced.
5. This is a sausage fest. Lots and lots of dudes. If you're a girl. You have your pickings.
6. The music is on point here.
7. There's a water slide and two hot tubs.
8. Several pools - the best is SKYBAR which has a little pool and it's glass bottom. This is the only pool I will get into.
9. The food here is great, but PINK TACO has an awesome HAPPY HOUR post-Rehab that will cost way less and they also pitch in FREE chips and three yummy salsas.
10. There are annoying massage therapist trying to give messages. Messages while drunk and in the heat... BAD NEWS BEARS!
A better rehab would be an oxygen bar, a big bottle of smart water, and perhaps some greasy buffet food. :D
Service is a 10! Â Which in my opinion, means almost everything when you're spending 1k and above!
We went on 9.29.12 for my friends bachelorette party and had a blast!
Even though we HATED the music, lol, until like 5pm when they played hip hop, we loved everything else. Â
Atmosphere, great
Service, great
Cabanas, great, comfortable, has a safe for your belongings
Pool, well we went on Saturday so it was the perfect amount of people
You can go to swim up black jack tables
Food, great
Worth your money!
I do have to agree with Yelper: Greg D., this is douche-bag heaven. Tons of dudes.. not really sure what the dude-girl ratio was. But whatevs.
We got in for free & we had to check our bags in before we entered. If your bag is too big you'll have to check it in so pack lightly! I brought my wristlet & camera but even my wristlet seemed too bulky when we got to the actual pool.
Apparently this is the biggest pool party in Vegas & I do have to agree. This place has cabanas, daybeds & booths up the yang!
The coolest thing I saw was the swim up blackjack table!
When we entered they were playing hip-hop so we thought we would have a great time since we were edm'd out from Deadmau5 the night before. But as soon as we entered the pool, it was house music the whole 2 hours there. Needless to say we weren't feeling it at all.
It was alright, word of advice to the DJ,... mix it up every once in a while.
Rehab........damn......cant wait till next summer..... :-)
Fellas , word of advice. If there is more than 5 in your group. Get a CABANA!
It will help you get in without waiting in line and your Rehab experience will be soooooooooooooooooooooo much better. You wont have to worry about where to put your things at and its awesome having your own waitress that makes your drinks while your out in the pool with the 200+ females swimming around you . Cheers!
This is Douche-bag heaven. Â The pool party is just the start of a good night. Â Yes there are ton of meat-heads, roid users and drug dealers. Â But that just means getting tail is that much easier. Â
You want to go here with 3 -5 of your closest friends. Â Make sure you are staying in HRH and you have a few suites with those showers that can fit 8 people. Â Also, you and your friends have to be cool with spending money. If you are complaining about the prices, you shouldn't be here.
Wear your Enjoy Coke t-shirt. Â This is how the low iq chicks that are at Rehab know that you are serious about partying. Â Have a cabana well stocked with Vodka, Mixers and Beer. Â The cabana's are expensive up front. $300 bucks a person or so, but with that you have to spend the money to stay in them. You get your own server and bouncer which will make your life very easy if a chick isn't DTF. Â
Most of the girls are not much to talk to, but why are you talking to them? The end game is to get them back to your room anyway.  The tattoos will tell you the story of who is the easiest and dirtiest girls and it helps that they are bikinis.  If you like fake tits, no problem.  If you like them natural, no problem as well. Plenty  of girls to go around. Â
Make sure you have plenty of party supplies in your room. Â Plus more Liquor and Beer, adult games and toys. Â You will be able to make good use of that shower and have a party that would make the Romans blush.
Rehab is pretty easy to have a great time at.
Let's see....
1. I don't have to dress up
2. No heels??
3.Swimming pool
4. LOTS LOTS of Liquor
This needs to be on your list to do before leaving Vegas So much fun....if you don't have fun here....then maybe you shouldn't be in Vegas???Fun people...great bartenders....bikinis and trunks...come on!!! I came here when the LMFAO song Party rock first came out...so of course the DJ kept playing it but besides that very small detail...it was the best club I went to in Vegas. I will admit I didn't remember alot but the pictures I looked thru the next day brought back some memories;)
We partied here 07/22/12. This was my third go @ Rehab.
Not much I can add to my initial review except for that it's as good as I remembered it the first two times I was here.
We had a group of 6 guys and 3 girls and got a couch by the stage area where Sean Paul performed. Our server was great. Updated us on the tab every couple hours and was friendly and personable when providing service. Once again, Rehab didn't disappoint.
In the last 4 years I have attended all of the pool parties at all the major hotels. The only other party that came close was F**K me I'm Famous @ Wet. Encore is becoming too stuffy and people are more concerned about not getting their hair wet, than having a good time. I'm all about looking impressive at the pool, but not at the expense of having fun! Water splashing, people dancing, and they even have a water slide!!! I am more into the atmosphere, fun people, dancing crowds, strong drinks and an overall amazing time. Rehab has been the only pool consistently delivering a great party. It's what Sunday funday is all about. Get here!
I had always heard that Rehab was the staple pool party to hit up on a Sunday. After a full fledged weekend in Vegas for a close friend's bachelorette party, me and a few others decided to hit up Rehab last minute for a special apperance by Sean Paul.
So let's take a step back for a sec. The Saturday before, we had already planned the pool party to be at Hard Rock where we got excellent service at the daybed we reserved for a minimum spending amount of $500. Totally do-able by the way for several pitchers and some food. FYI- the cabana items of the menu are HUGE.. they fool you by saying it serves 4 to 6 but its more like 8 to 10. TRUST ME. Anyway, if I was to rate my experience on a Saturday it would be a 3. Music SUCKED and was hugely disappointing. It was hardly busy and I think  the only thing I enjoyed besides hanging with my girls was the black jack tables in the water.
So, it's a good thing a few of my friends and I decided to hit Rehab the following day because it totally made up for it. A good blend of hip hop and top40 and when Sean Paul came on, me and my little dancing friends took over the water. Loved the music, loved the vibe, loved the crowd, love love REHAB!
Its definitely hard to keep party ready after a two to three day drinking and clubbing excursion, but i would save sunday as a day to party if the music was like this. Why can't clubs and DJ's realize this and move on. This is still the day and age for Old School Hip Hop and Top 40!! Keep bringing it PLEASE!!
This is a complete shit show and awesome time. Looking at the pictures the next day was almost like the end credits of The Hangover. Amazing.
At first I was a little worried when we walked in since it was packed and we were a little lost as far as where to go but we grabbed some drinks and managed to scout out a little area not by the main pool area to sit down. Have some drinks, start people watching and before you know it you're hanging out with a bunch of new people having the time of your life.
Cabanas, daybeds and such are stupid expensive and unless you can manage a crazy deal not worth it. We had a great time without it. And the $20 drinks aren't a bad deal since they're huge and even though its not top shelf alcohol at least they don't skimp on it. It's probably even a good deal considering the normal price of drinks in Vegas clubs.
I need to go back...ASAP.
***Also you are not allowed to bring in gum, anything glass (MIRRORS INCLUDED) or any bag that is bigger than an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper. Bring as little stuff as possible just in case. Security is a little nuts and they do check your bag thoroughly as well as pat you down. Don't bring towels either since they have them there for no charge aside from a tip bucket out for the towel girl***
Rehab is a fantastic Sunday pool party! I will upload some pics.
I have been here many Sundays over the various Las Vegas summers. Most recently, I was here with a group of models for a party hosted by Timbaland and sponsored by Localites.TV. Localites was there to search for their next MMA Ring Card Girl. I was there to hang out in their cabana, have a cocktail and enjoy my Sunday Funday, but a few of the girls I was with participated in the bikini competition.
Rehab is definitely very crowded so if you don't have a set up (i.e. cabana) it would be dangerously easy to get lost in the crowd. The cabanas I prefer are one level up from the ground level, one level up from the jam-packed crazyness.
I know several of the cocktail waitresses who work here and they are all beautiful and on point. Service is definitely not lacking. And I love that Rehab is the only pool party that offers you giant plastic water bottles (Disneyland style) except the main difference is that your Rehab giant water bottle is filled with alcohol. Fun!
It's a zoo, it's  circus, it's a rave, it's Rehab.
OK, so you're in Vegas on Sunday, this is pretty epic place to check out. Â It's at Hardrock, so you've started out pretty good.
The music is decent, although it's was  a little heavy on the hip hop, crunk genre this time; I like it, just don't want to hear only that.
The scenery is out of control, not all good, mind you, but "must see" none-the-less. You'll see more skin here than you will at a strip club. Tattoos abound.
The drinks are good, the Rehab bartenders don't F*@$ around, especially if you throw a fat tip on the first round.
Jamie Fox & NeYo were there on this trip, which was pretty cool, the atmosphere was pretty amped.
Now for the minuses:
Expensive, I was a hotel guest & I had to pay $50 for my "Complimentary" pass. I heard that by 2pm it was $100 for women & $300 for men, and that it would go higher. Refrickindonkulous! Â It used to be free for hotel guests.
The drinks, though well poured, are not cheap. I was just with two buddies, $84 per round, not including a tip for  Morgan & Cokes in the Rehab tumblers.
The biggest minus was the line. I blame it on a variety of things. No signage indicating hotel guests versus "General Admission". Â No signage for reentry (if you'd been in and had a wristband). Hotel Security in a word, sucked. They let all sorts of line cutting occur, they dilly dallied with the physical security check. I stood in line for the better part of two hours (11:45 to 1:28) and when we finally got in, it was maybe 60% capacity. #epic fail.
Still, where else are you going to see a tramp stamp that says "Satisfaction Guaranteed"? We'll go back, but probably get in line a little earlier. I had asked the security guy the day before & he told me, just be in line by 1pm & you're good. Obviously that wasn't the case, but maybe it was extra busy for Memorial Day weekend.
Oh, Rehab.
You aren't really a Vegas pool party VIP until you've seriously questioned whether you got some kind of bizarre protozoal infection from Rehab.
But honestly, when the "local" pool at the Hard Rock (the tattoos give away the Las Vegans pretty easily) is more fun and you aren't worried about a trip to the ER (ps: text  "ER" to 23000 and you can get real-time waiting times for the Vegas-area hospitals)
And it's a nice break from the better pool parties. (I still love Tao when there's an amazing DJ and Wet Republic if you have a cabana and shade)
Fake tits? An ocean of them..
Slutty bikinis? these women must be prostitutes..
Trashy? I think people are having sex in the pool..
...and I LOVE it!
If once you have ever cursed being a girl, redeem yourself here! It's easy being a girl in las vegas, so if you know your tricks, work your magic to the front :) If you have boys in your group, good luck; you deserve to wait in line. I go every year like clock work and it never gets old. It is a plethora of sins and debauchery; a pandora's box in paradise. This is a completely superficial  and trashy city, so play along with it or GTFO!
This is not for the timid. Fortune favors the bold.
Friday: "I'm in Vegas, Bitch!"
Saturday: "Seriously,FML. I want to go home"
Sunday at Rehab: "I FREAKING LOVE VEGAS!!!! I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME"
That is usually my mentality when I go to Vegas... REHAB literally SAVED me from hating Vegas... It's my "go-to drug" for actual rehabilitation from two days of straight alcohol and sun damage.
Music: HOUSE and I love it! I can fist pump all freaking day and my mama would be proud!
Having ovaries and boobs is probably the most awesome things that could happen to you in Vegas. Doesn't matter if it's home grown or bought, you literally rule Vegas if you possess such things. These are the following things that can occur:
1.) No need for cabana service because SWARMS of guys will offer for you to hang out at theirs for free
2.) Free food comes with cabana service, along with free strawberry daiquiri's and water.. HOLLA FOR A DOLLA!
3.)No need to pay no $50 admission fee
So Lesson learned is: 1.) Go to Rehab for rehabilitation from the 2 days of straight drinking your body will endure. 2.) Be a chick
If you come here then you probably talk like this:
"hey brah pass me my epic Ed Hardy visor"
"my tribal tat is so much sicker than that guys, I should fight him."
"where did I set down my penis pills and strawberry daiquiri?"
Get a life, put your shirt on, and accept the fact that you're never going to be able to relive highschool... Tool.
So majority of the people love this place, I not so much. If I was to describe it with an adjective and a noun it would be SHIT SHOW.
Here is my humble opinion. If you like the TSA security check, dirty brown water, occasionally deaths that are sweeped under the floor, yeast infections from going in the water, watching live porn- i.e bj's in the pool by skanky girls on guys who have a false grandiose opinion on themselves, overly tanned overly big boobed girls in overly high wedges, wearing obviously too much makeup in 100 plus degree weather... I guess this place is awesome. Just make sure you get your penicillin shot before planning your trip and wear a full body condom so you don't catch an STD or get pregnant because you decide to go in the water. My public service announcement to you all.
Shit Show. Middle American meets Jersey Juice Heads and wanna be sluts. Compared to Marquee, Encore Beach Club, and even Wet Republic they don't even have the hottest DJs spin at Rehab. Afrojack, Kascade, LaidBack Luke, David Guetta all big name DJs do sets at Marquee, EBC, and Wet but are not at Rehab!! I guess Rehab just gets the volume of people because deep down inside we all aspire to be dirty girls and boys. I raise my glass to you all!!
This place is addicting!
Wow, I have so many pics and stories of this place that will absolutely never be on Yelp, Facebook, or any other place that a potential family member, future girlfriend or co-worker can see! Â
There are pools in Vegas for just about every appetite, and this is THE one to go to if you are interested in one massive, insane frat party. Â It is like the legendary Spring Break party you have seen on TV and always wished you were at!
Rehab is only open Sunday's, and since I was going on 4th of July weekend I was concerned about the stories of people lining up at 8am to get in at 11am. Â I ended up getting there about 9:30, and they actually let me right in. Â Sweet.
I grabbed a prime spot on the edge of the pool and relaxed as I waited for my hungover friends to wake up from our drunken night clubbing. Â And look at the pics folks, this place gets packed! Â If you want to sit anywhere you better get there early and claim your spot. Â But honestly, having been there myself now, if you are sitting down anywhere in this place longer than the time it takes to catch your breath from partying, then you are wasting your time here! Â Once my friends arrived, we left that spot and didn't sit down again the rest of the day.
Get in shape!! Not a requirement of course, but again, look at the pics. Â 'Nuff said.
People are dancing all over the place, but the spot to be is right in the middle of the main pool where the grass shade umbrellas are. Â There is a shallow inner pool there, and the party kicks up to a whole new level. Â Because people are all dancing on the edges of the tile wall that separates this small inner pool from the rest of the pool, it is like they form a people barrier that you can't easily see through if you are elsewhere in Rehab. Â Perhaps this, combined with dancing in the middle the whole pool, is what makes people go even that much crazier here. Â I recommend hanging out here if you really want to experience what Rehab is all about.
They DO NOT allow bags into the pool. Â Guys, I recommend walking into this place with only a few waterproof items:
1) ID and credit card or cash. Â Trust me the credit cards can get wet and still work.
2) Car key. Â Not the whole key chain, just take the stupid car key off and put it in your pocket!
3) If you want to bring a camera to give someone else material to blackmail you with, make it a waterproof one, and only have one for the group, that way you don't have to hold onto it the whole time.
That's it. Â Forget the phone, there is plenty of time to check your tweets and texts when you are recovering Sunday night. Â Girls, I didn't see any pockets on those bikinis, so keep it light and find someone to hold your stuff for you. Â Things will get stolen here, so don't leave any gear unattended!
The music is great and loud, as it should be. Â The drinks are expensive as you would expect and come in large plastic cups that double as a way to throw water on people as soon as you finish your drink. Â If you are not a drinker you will feel out of place here.
Cabanas and lounge chairs. Â Why? Â Really, why? Â Spend insane amounts of money to hang out in a cabana and people watch? Â Live it up people, get into the pool, stay there and have fun!
Entrance Fees: Â Prices start at $20 for girls and $40 for guys. Â Girls can probably find comp VIP passes through a promoter as well. Â Warning though, as the day goes on, the prices go up. Â So while I paid $40, the prices got up to $100 later in the afternoon (just to get in the door).
And if you are wanting to come here with your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc, I don't really recommend it. Â There are much better pool parties in Vegas (like Wet Republic) with a great dance vibe and a lot of fun that are not so potentially damaging to a relationship. Â There is a lot of eye candy here for girls and guys, combined with a 'Let's just go crazy and party!' vibe that can get a lot of couples in trouble! Â
So if you have read some of the reviews and are thinking to yourself how AWESOME this place sounds and that it is exactly the kind of pool party you need to experience at least once; then as I lie in intensive care recovering from shock, dance exhaustion, sun stroke, alcohol poisoning, and praying for forgiveness, I raise my margarita in a toast. Â See you at the Rehab!
Still the most awesome place for a Las Vegas Pool Party!!
and it's still...
The BEST way to experience REHAB is by staying at the HARD ROCK HOTEL.
They've changed the rules a bit since 2009...
REHAB 2010
* Admission *
Based on the rate of your room. You get your rehab tickets complimentary if you purchase a room for at least $170/night. Otherwise you could do what I did, purchase cheap hotel room tickets through <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vegas.com&s=36fa1f9665ba8e344191f245a7f852261978b34c0e23d1664b8c239a7880d840" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.vegas.com</a> and ask at the front desk to
"upgrade" your room to get your wristbands, I paid $30 for my rehab ticket. Admission also varies throughout the day, so it can be cheap in the morning ($20) to expensive during peak times ($50-$100) and back to cheap again towards the end of the party. From what I've noticed, peak/busy times are from 12pm - 4pm.
* Â Lines *
That goes for the line to get into Rehab... there's a seperate line for VIP or Guests of Hotel from the General Admission line. As a hotel guest, if you want to get it out of the way, line up by 8am and then you could go back to bed in your Hard Rock Hotel Room. We waited approximately 40 minutes because they did not distribute wristbands til 9 am.
AS FOR THE GENERAL ADMISSION LINE - That shit SUCKED! My friend had to wait 2 hours in line for her wristband, because they had to take Reservations first, then guestlist then, regular admission. Security at the VIP/Guest line would not budge with letting our friend get her wristband even though the people we purchased from let her have one. Guy was a douche on a power trip.
Also goes for the line to the bathroom. You can either stand in line FOREVER for the public bathroom that is grimey from sand, water, chlorine, alcohol, whatever nastiness you can imagine. Or you can just walk up to your hotel room, to the comfort of your nice clean bathroom and use it there, that is if you can find it... (hehehe. I didn't make it, but shhhhh dont tell!)
* Alcohol *
Ok. Price went up a bit, from $22 to $24 for a Large sport bottle with a straw filled with 70% vodka 30% mixer. I was sporting the vodka lemonade last year... this year it was the blueberry kamikaze and OMG it was a frickin delicious!!
Unfortunately, Rehab has learned their lesson and do not allow re entry of water bottles. But if you have a hotel room at the Hard Rock you are still free to take shots in your room and come back to the party whenever and as many times as you want!!! This year I took advantage of that too much and I definately had alcohol poisoning.
* Party Areas *
Lots of space to wade in the water and a little area to go deep into the water for a swim, But you'll rarely see anyone take an actual dip in the water and go do laps. Basically everyone kinda stands around socializing, drinking and some dancing. BEWARE. Sometimes the boys like to go crazy and splash the water... for those girls that glam up for rehab, be careful or you'll have a runny face. Â I was a victim of this (minus the runny face), a crowd of boys thought it would be cool to splash me like crazy, but being already drunk it didn't matter.
* People *
Honestly, I busted my ass to look hot for this pool party... but in reality, no need to try hard. It's just a marketing decoy to think everyone at rehab is stick thin and sexy... NOT TRUE. I would say like 5% of the people there are thin/fit/sexy. People really just go to get drunk and dance so looks dont seem to matter. PLUS... THE MORE YOU DRINK THE BETTER LOOKING THE PEOPLE GET. =P
Other than that, Everyone was really nice. Staff. The people there. I think because everyone was looking to having a good time made the experience way more fun! =) Especially the people I met that day. I met a hand full of people and had an awesome time going to each others rooms taking shots and heading back to the party. It's frickin awesome.
I see why Amy Winehouse doesn't want to go back to Rehab - - 'cause I don't want to either.
That being said, I voluntarily chose to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel, and willingly signed up to attend the douchebag/dirtyskank party at Rehab last Sunday. Â It reminded me of those Spring Break parties you see on MTV, where the girls are having tickle fights on platforms next to a big pool and vodka redbull drinks are served in plastic cups with big straws.
I freaked out a little when my pink sundress wouldn't fly and was forced to walk around in my string bikini... Â BUT, nobody vomited at the sight of me, and since everyone was wasted, I suspect I looked pretty damn fine. Â In fact, I think it's safe to say it doesn't matter what your body looks like, as long as your outfit and hair/makeup are well assembled.
Kudos to the lifeguard who jumped in and rescued me from the 12 foot deep end . Â He couldn't see my head (it was underwater), but had noticed my Rehab Souvenir Drink Cup sticking out of the water (I paid $25 for that, I wasn't gonna let it drown with me). Â He dragged me to the shallow end, where I wiped the mascara off my face and promptly headed back to the bar for a refill.
As hotel guests, we had our own entrance, which allowed for easy (and free) entry/re-entry - - and for convenient 6:30 pm scrambling to our room to pass out. Â
Note: Watch out for photographers.  When I removed my bikini bottoms in my room, a sopping wet  "Spy on Las Vegas - view pictures here" business card fell out.  There go my political aspirations.
Douche bag central!
Like douche bags? Want to get treated like shit? Want to hang out with people who think they are the shit? Come here! Waste money!
We tried to get in on Sunday for Rehab this past weekend and it was a fuckin clusterfuck!
Waited in line, got let up to the front of the line. DB bouncer told us that we cut in line. Say what? Puh-lease, don't be an ass. You want to charge girls $50 to get in and guys $100??
And then you are gonna bust attitude on me and call me a fuckin liar?
Eff that! I ain't having this shiet.
Rehab can suck it. Wet Republic is way better than this place.
And no, I did not waste my money here. Who wants to pay for shitty attitude?
I usually don't write reviews for places unless I've been there recently but I'll make an exception for Rehab. Â I was watching TruTV and who knew that Rehab has it's own show, so I found some inspiration. Â

They try to make me go to Rehab but I say no, no, no ... I know for a fact that Amy Winehouse was not talking about the pool party that goes off at the Hard Rock Hotel on Sundays during the summertime.
You ever hear of the terms "you don't bring sand to the beach" or "you don't bring meat to the meat market"? Â Well those rules apply here. Â Come with your friends and leave your gf's, bf's, so's, fi's or whatever it is you call your other halves because you don't wanna get slapped every time your eyes wander when someone that catches your eye passes by.
If you're in LV during the summertime, make sure you stop by the OG pool party that started all other hotels having similar parties. Â You know what they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Easy 5 stars.
Ness S nailed it on the head with her review for Rehab......So here is my take.
For the past couple of weeks I have been dreading coming here - partly because I am over large crowds, partly because I am over being surrounded by tool bags and broke ass ho's, partly because I am not in Vegas bikini shape and partly because I knew that for my share of the cabana rental my ass was not going to be getting drunk - fed yes but not drunk.
Okay - the good parts - with our uber large group of my super friends from college and beyond we got the line skippys cause we had a cabana rental - wee haw. The trek over the river and thru the woods to get to the front of the line was a bit odd but we got there right? After a security search half the kids checked in their bags and off we went.....(yes you can check your shit peeps)
Our cabana was in a great location - three feet from the madness in the pool and surrounded by two other cabanas of cool guys. Â
Our waitress Jennifer was a cute lil chiquita and was awesome for dealing with our group. The service was fabulous and we always had someone filling our ice, bringing water etc. Security was also cool making sure we were taken care of. Props boys!
Food was also decent - pizza, fries, chicken strips (so big they were like half fried chickens) burgers etc - always tasty.
The bad - bathroom lines and bathrooms in general. Thanks god someone in our group got a room for the day, cause that bathroom drama would have got old real quick.
If you don't have a cabana or a chair you are screwed - make friends or get crafty with your stuff.
The ugly - toolbags, broke ass ho's and skanks who thought they were supermodels doing us all a favor by being there. Kill the tude and have a good time - isn't that why you are there?
Well - I survived Rehab. I am glad I went.....Unless my friends go again and we do the uber pricey cabana service I doubt you will see me there again. After all, aren't you supposed to relax at the pool?
Oh I almost forgot: Overheard in the elevator of the Hard Rock.....a ghetto rat Inland Empire chick with her arms around her ghetto rat Inalnd Empire boyfriend..." Oh My God what is on you that is burning me???" (His crabs honey, his crabs)
My liver hurts
....Rehab.....I was speechless before and you leave me speechless after
Here is a rundown. Â
You have two choices when coming here
A. Â come looking good with your hot friends and skip the line
B. Â get here early and wait in the 3 hour line , yes, people waited 3 hours to get in here (I don't know why) Â and then pay $100 if you are a guy and $40 if you are a girl cover charge
Thank you again Vegas for being so good to us and allowing us to skip the line. Â So that we could quickly be marched, yes marched, to the front of the line to be paraded into this debauchery. Â
 This place is insane, insanely packed, insanely expensive and in my opinion a bit overrated.  We were lucky that we were here on a nice day and it was only about 80* not the typical Vegas summer of 115.  The place gets jam packed with people and the line for the girls bathroom was about an hour long.  Fortunately, we had VIP so we were able to go up stairs were it was less crowded and make drinks at the the private cabanas.  Like I said I cant imagine being here and not having VIP and having to be packed down stairs with the Dirty, and then pay $40 to get in and then run up a bar tab for drinks!  Plus there is no where to stand let alone sit or to set your things down unless you have VIP.
I must add after going here my friend and I now use this as a "would you rather". Â Here is an example "Would you rather have to spend the whole day at Rehab again or get punched in the face"
Yes that is what we are comparing this pricey, packed, over crowded day too. Â Trust me you may take the 2nd option after being here for 6 hours.
PS. Â you will most likely get in some celeb or sports player sighting here. Â my friends always do.
Amy Winehouse wouldn't be singing her catchy jingle if she had made it to this Rehab.  My goodness  you breeders know how to throw a party!
And I thought the gays had the market on debaucherous dance parties. Â Next time I read an article on the Black or White Party as if its some representation on the filthy morals of homosexuals, I'm bringing up this place as a harsh right back at ya. Â
O but how does one get in? Â Ok, first of all throw out all notions of economics of both finance and time with this one. Â Some poor souls show up at 8 am, 4 hours before this place even allows its first non hotel guest to the pool, to get a place in line. Â And the line continues at this wait for about 4 hours all afternoon long. Â Wha? Say you incredulously. No way would you do this you say but then you see the line packed with hot people of all persuasions...ok not ALL persuasions but enough to give you hope.
But are you serious? who waits in line for 4 hours for a pool party that costs $50 to get into and charges $17 for drinks once your inside only to have no place to lay your towel and throw your precious belongings in a bush. Â Well, I answer-hot looking, fun ass people who know how to party, that's who!
The layout of the pool has already been well described but I think what's left out here and overlooked is the quiet side of the pool. Â No one goes over to the left of the entrance, past the water slide is a lagoon of tranquility where some bigger boys from Texas let me know I wasn't the only gay in the village.
The music is jumping and the $17 I bemoan, were 32oz filled souvenir drinks, I suppose you could get cups or glasses but WHY EVER WOULD YOU? Â Do You know how drunk you can get on 64 ounces of margaritas or redbull and vodka. Â Yippy Yay! And when everyone gets drunk o, doesn't everyone get so friendly? so so friendly, and touchy. Men who snuggled with the ladies in the pool fondled my butt. Â Ok, have you seen my butt? Â But still, in front of hundreds of other people.
And just as my friend Kara and I were bemoaning the lack of house music at the Vegas clubs the night before, don't they splice in some serious hard core house music here. Â Watch the heck out, we were dancing on the island on the middle of the pool. Â
So yeah you pay $50 to get in, $30 VIP unless your a hotel guest but you are there all day. Â Seriously, all day. Â Ok if your unlucky, half that day is spent in line but...actually there is a way off the line and speedily so, simply buy a spa package at The Hard Rock Spa. Â They totally market it to you and its overpriced but this is how I got in and friends, this is the way to go. Â I wanted a spa service while in Vegas but demurred because they were so pricey but here, there's at least a way to save yourself some money at the Rehab door and time on the line and time is money...
