The vibe: Grown-up luxe. Mandarin's sophisticated pool deck on the eighth floor of the hotel is pure urban chic—and refreshingly non-meat-markety. You'll run into the same crowd you mingled with in Cannes or saw in St. Bart's at Thanksgiving in this sedate little group of 17 cabanas. Suit up: Subdued luxury and a floaty caftan dovetail with this pool scene's message: "I'm fabulous, but not trying too hard." Don't miss: Raw vegan smoothies and bikini-friendly fare like Hokkaido Scallop Ceviche at The Pool Café. 888-527-8342; mandarinoriental.com THE POOL AT MANDARIN ORIENTAL The vibe: The Côte d'Azur-themed, private Azure pool has always felt like an exclusive enclave, past the bachelor parties of the main complex into a world where 11 air- conditioned cabanas come with all the mod- cons, plus Canyon Ranch SpaClub massages on offer, and menu items from Wolfgang Puck. Suit up: Think "country club meets day club," the motto of the pool as it has revamped to feel even more VIP this year. White on white is a no-brainer. Don't miss: New summer cocktails for 2016, like Rosé all Day: Jean-Luc Colombo Cape Bleue rosé, Cointreau, summer berry shrub, and Prosecco. 702-767- 3724; palazzo.com RED ROCK POOL BACKYARD AZURE AT THE PALAZZO The vibe: Red Rock's three-acre Pool Backyard, which also serves as an entertainment venue for up to 3,000 people, attracts plenty of well- heeled locals, as well as weekenders in to use the resort as a base for exploring Red Rock Conservation Area. Suit up: There's a distinctly boho vibe here, so flip flops and casual wear are the order of the day, though our subur- ban moms look different than in other cities—so expect plenty of elevated suits, too. Don't miss: Poolside blackjack at the Sandbar, and "Silent Savasana,"— evening poolside yoga. 11011 W.
