Pool Intentions

As a boy in short-pants, you giddily anticipated pool-party season -- the spirited splash-fights, the girls in alluring one-pieces, the irresponsible consumption of tropical fruit sodaÂ… On April 26th, pool party like an adult -- at The Pool at Harrah's Resort.An 80,000-gallon, palm-treed oasis under a 90ft-high glass dome, The Pool doubles as a lounge-chair-strewn, daytime slacker's kingdom -- and a nighttime clubber's paradise where you can get absolutely chlorinated 'til four o'clock in the morning.

Hit April 26th's bash -- hosted by Tila Tequila -- and you'll enter a frenzy of poolside DJs, bikini-clad waitresses, and swimming go-go dancers (like the ladies in those black-and-white movies, minus the swim-caps and disturbingly detached smiles). More ludicrously, you'll have access to private cabanas stocked with couches/iPod stations/plasmas, and six bottle-serviced hot tubs -- because when your alabaster gut's been stewing in 105° water, you don't want anyone watching you shuffle to the bar.

First step: mark April 26th on your calendar with a "Damn!". Next, enter Thrillist's Pool Party Weekend sweepstakes for a shot at a free seat on a private bus, and possibly an even larger package: transport, plus a night's hotel stay, your own cabana, and up to $500 in bottle service. And if you really want to party, all the canned tropical punch you can handle.
