Topless Tanning in Las Vegas

The adult fun never end in Las Vegas, and it seems that a few more hotels have joined the European pool trend – topless sunbathing.  These adult only venues don’t pretend to come with that European sophistication however, and gawking and ogling is acknowledged, and apparently encouraged.

If topless tanning in your thing, here are 3 hot spots for a little adult summer indulgence:

• Rio’s Sapphire – A combination gentlemen’s club and pool, boasting three cascading waterfalls and two jacuzzis.  The phrase “gentlemen’s club” seems to connote rather ungentlemanly like behavior, so you’ll have to be the judge for yourself.  Admission is $10 for women (any time), and $30 for men.  On weekends, rates shoot up to $50, and $60 for holidays. 
• Mandalay Bay’s Moorea Beach – Sounding a bit like something from the South Pacific, the Moorea Beach Club is an exclusive (wrist band only) private club.  You’ll find it on the second floor of the beach tower, away from non-exclusive prying eyes.
• Mirage’s Bare – With its combination of pool and party deck, Bare has a poolside DJ that infuses relaxation with a hip vibe.  They claim that the music isn’t so loud that it disturbs relaxation time, though.  Admission is $10 (Monday – Thursday), $20 (Friday – Sunday ) for women; $20 and $40 for corresponding days for men.

Although I’m long past my ogle-worthy prime, topless pools aren’t shocking to me.  I’ve spent enough time in the other countries where a topless beach doesn’t raise an eyebrow.  It’s no surprise that the concept has finally come to Las Vegas.  After all, sex always sells – even if it’s poolside.
