1. A day at the pool. Our Main Pool is open seven days a week but this Wednesday, DayDream Pool Club will be open for a special Fourth of July celebration. Grab a swimsuit and some sunscreen (it’s going to be a hot one) and spend the day poolside in our backyard paradise. We’ve got cocktails to cool you off and the hottest DJs to keep the party going.

2. An all-American meal. What’s more American than a buffet? From macaroni and cheese to prime rib and everything in between, you can feast on all your continental favorites at Studio B. Be sure to save room for dessert, you won’t want to miss Studio B’s apple pie, with a scoop of vanilla gelato for a perfect sweet treat on the Fourth.

3. Test your luck at the tables. Our poker room started its Fourth of July celebrations early with its Red, White & Blue Giveaway promotion. Win your share of $25,000 by earning red, white and blue tickets while playing at our tables. Drawings take place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday but tickets can be earned daily!

4. Put on your own personal fireworks show. You can purchase fireworks from over 390 different stands across Southern Nevada until 11:59 pm on July 4. Remember to light your fireworks on a flat surface away from trees and brush. It’s also a good idea to have a bucket of water and a hose on hand to soak used fireworks before disposal.

However you choose to celebrate, we wish you a safe and fun Fourth of July!

Hollywood has worked side by side with superstars such as DJ AM, Paul Van Dyk, Bob Sinclair, Tiesto, and Grand Master Flash. Aside from performing, he also owns and operates The Beatclan, which represents other top-name DJ’s, celebrities and recording artists. Needless to say, he’s got a hot lineup coming to our pool this season.

We caught up with the celebrity DJ to get the DL on what we can look forward to in terms of poolside entertainment.

What are you most looking forward to with performing at DayDream?
I’ve headlined and directed the biggest day/nightlife venues in the world from Wet Republic to PURE and I can honestly say that DayDream intrigues me the most! The layout and intimate setting enables me to throw down a more eclectic set than I normally would spin. I get to recreate myself every time I’m on the decks. You can’t ask for much more as a DJ.

What’s it like spinning at DayDream compared to other pool venues in Las Vegas?
M Resort draws a more sophisticated crowd than the other pool venues in Vegas. I’m able to be as creative as I’d like to, while veering away from Top 40/dance hits that you’ll likely hear at every other dayclub.

How do you try to approach your sets?
I approach every session differently. My sets are filled with peaks and valleys taking my crowd on a journey that always leaves them wanting more.

What genres or artists influence you the most and what do you listen to on your own time?
I’m an expert in over ten genres, ranging from the 50′s to today’s music and I honestly can’t put a finger on which genre has influenced me and my profession the most. But, in my quiet time, I get lost in contemporary music. Sade, Billy Joel, Matisyahu, to name a few.

Any favorite songs or artists?
For the dance floor: Titanium or David Guetta. In the car, any Frank Sinatra and while I play poker, Sade.

What can we expect this season from you and the other DJs from The Beatclan?
I represent, in my estimation, the best core DJ crew in the city. Expect nothing but the best.

The Beatclan is also producing 98.5 KLUC’s Summer Jam event. Tell us a little about that.
Summer Jam is going to be nuts and there’s no better venue to host it than the M Resort’s pool! The Wanted, Karmin, HardNox, Chris Renee and myself will be performing on June 17. This is truly a can’t-miss event!

You can catch DJ Hollywood and other DJs from The Beatclan spinning every Saturday, Sunday and Monday at DayDream Pool Club. For additional information on The Beatclan and DJ Hollywood, visit Beatclan.com and DJHollywood.net.

Preparing 100,000 square feet of space is a huge task and our team began work as soon as last season ended. Although we make improvements year-round, the pace really starts picking up in February when all of the last-minute details are being finalized. In preparation for the official opening, the pool equipment goes through inspection and servicing as well as deep cleaning. The pools are drained and acid washed, furniture is evaluated for repair and replacement needs and our decks are power washed so they are spotless for guests. The last step is moving over 400 chairs and numerous daybeds out of storage and into position.

After cleaning and servicing, it's time to stock up! Our pool bars go through a lot of liquid and we can't blame them; it gets hot out here in the desert. Both bars are fully stocked to satisfy our guests' orders for cocktails, beers, bottle service and drinks by the pitcher. Mojitos anyone?

Our large deck can accommodate up to 6,000 people, but on a busy weekend you'll probably see about 1,500 guests throughout the day. With that many people, we need a lot of towels. On an average weekday we go through over 800 towels and on a weekend over 2,000!

DayDream is now open to the public for your pool and sun bathing needs and our Main Pool will be opening on May 1. We have a quarter of a million gallons of (heated) water in all of our pools and over 60 trained team members to make sure your every need is taken care of. Grab your swimsuit and dive in on your next visit to M!
