At these Vegas party pools, it’s rarely about the swimming
The swim season is already underway at some Las Vegas resorts, with completely new pool scenes at NoMad and Palms sure to generate buzz when they open next month.
Debuting April 4, the NoMad pool, on a third-floor rooftop, takes its cue from a famous Moroccan garden, including the interiors of the tastefully decorated cabanas that are available to rent.
On weekends, a very different vibe - “JEMAA – the NoMad Pool Party” — takes over. On April 12, DJ Mayer Hawthorne will enliven JEMAA’s first bash. Other headliners will perform in the days and weeks to come.
KAOS is what Palms is calling its new poolside dayclub and nightclub. At 100,000 square feet, it is being billed as Vegas’ biggest party spot.
Grand-opening weekend is April 5-7. Alicia Keys will launch the venue’s entertainment lineup with a concert April 5 at 9 p.m. Limited tickets remain, starting at $295.
The Palms pool area is still under wraps, but artist Damien Hirst’s 60-foot bronze statue, “Demon With Bowl,” will tower over the space, no doubt creating countless opportunities for selfies. The 2014 work — a resin version was most recently displayed at a museum in Venice, Italy — had to be disassembled for shipment to America.
