And for those who can’t get enough of the Vegas pool scene (and who can’t when the temps top 115 Fahrenheit?), the Wet Republic Ultra Pool is an adults-only dayclub-one of the most in-demand in Las Vegas-whose all-star DJ lineup and party scene is legendary. The Grand Pool Complex is 6.5 acres with four swimming pools, waterfalls, a lazy river, cabanas, and all sorts of extras. Golfers and those who love to drink, relax, and humor their golf friends will love TopGolf, the massive golf experience that not only has a Callaway fitting studio, pro shop, and 120 climate-controlled hitting bays, but also its own bars, pools, VIP cabanas, private suites, and event spaces. There’s always something going on at MGM Grand Garden Arena, which hosts major concerts and events like the Latin Grammy Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards. The new Hunger Games: The Exhibition lets you feel like you’re right in the movie franchise, with set recreations and special effects lighting, as well as interactive exhibits that teach you about the technology the filmmakers used. You can take in entertainment from Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club to nightly shows by David Copperfield.
If any resort on the Strip is a self-contained city, MGM Grand is it.
