As the sun sets in Las Vegas, things are just heating up at the Encore Beach Club at Night. The party doesn’t kick off until 10:30 at night, but trust us, it’s worth the wait. The pools are kept at a balmy 80 degrees, enticing revelers to take a dip.

The lineup at Encore Beach Club at Night is a who’s who of electronic music royalty, with chart-topping artists like Diplo and Marshmello regularly appearing.

Owned by a power duo with an undeniable knack for creating unforgettable experiences, Pharrell Williams and David Grutman’s Strawberry Moon, attached to the aptly named Goodtime Hotel, has quickly become Miami’s hottest pool party destination. 

The rooftop pool parties kick off every Friday afternoon and keep it going all the way through Sunday evening. It’s the perfect antidote to the Sunday scaries. Note that swimwear is required to access the entire pool area, so don’t show up wearing jeans. 

For the ultimate party book either the Half Moon Pass, which includes valet parking, brunch, pool entry, and drink tickets for two people.

When you think of wild pool parties, Manhattan might not be the first place that springs to mind. But the city that never sleeps knows how to turn the heat up during the day too. Hidden atop the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel lies Somewhere Nowhere, the highest pool (and hottest party destination) in the city. 

This two-level outdoor lounge and open-air rooftop pool is a relaxing place to swim until 4:30 p.m., when it converts into a party venue with live music and flowing cocktails. Don’t miss Solstice Sunset Saturdays, where you can dance to great tunes while watching the sun dip below the city skyline.
