“We want to give our guests and locals a different option than what’s available on the Strip,” said Joe Bravo, our Director of Pool and Nightlife Operations. “We’ve done night swims in the past that have been very successful – after all, locals don’t want to fight traffic or crowds. At our night swims, they can relax, swim and enjoy a drink or two while getting the four-star service we’re known for.”

The first night swim kicks off tomorrow with an out-of-this-world beverage favorite – Alien Tequila. The first 50 guests to arrive receive a complimentary souvenir bottle of Alien Tequila and there’s an open vodka bar for ladies from 8-9 pm sponsored by Bud Light and Ultimat Vodka.

With more than 12,000 square feet of space, you have plenty of room to dance under the moon to the music of the Beatclan DJs. Or if personal service and relaxing is preferred, DayDream offers cabanas and daybeds that can be reserved by calling (702) 797-1808 or emailing cabanarequest@theMresort.com.

If you can’t make it to tomorrow’s night swim, don’t worry. Our next night swim, Mid-Summer’s Night Masquerade Pool Party, promises to be just as dreamy as the name intends. Scheduled for July anyone in costume gets free admission. There will also be an open vodka bar for ladies for the first hour and prizes for the sexiest costumes.

So join us for some swimming under the stars this Friday night. The party starts at 8pm.

We kick off the weekend with the Tres & Quatro de Mayo party in Ravello Lounge Friday night with resident DJ, DJ Truelove. If you’ve never been to Ravello, this weekend is the time to come. DJ Truelove will be spinning starting at 9 pm and we’ll have Corona beer and tequila whistle shot specials to keep you going until the morning. With intimate booths, a dance floor, an outdoor terrace and a large bar, it’s the perfect venue to relax with friends or, since it is Cinco de Mayo….dance the night away!

After a long siesta, our grand opening pool party begins at 10 am on Saturday on our main pool deck. We’ll have Jose Cuervo and Dos XX drink specials to keep the fiesta going well into the afternoon and live music featuring Beatclan DJs. Now, a bit about our main pool deck…it’s gorgeous and we have plenty of areas to kick back and relax. In fact, we have more than 500 lounge chairs plus daybeds and cabanas, not to mention multiple bars.

But if you’re after a more adult pool party this weekend, we invite you to check out DayDream, the best local’s pool club in Vegas (21 and older). DayDream opens at 11 am on Saturday and with a little help from DJ Hi-Tone and DJ Koko you can shake your maracas to their beats long into the early evening.

If that’s not enough to wear you out, Toto Zara will be playing with DJ Arty in Ravello on Saturday night to finish this fabulous weekend of fun. This dynamic group came from a large musical family from Spain and we’re excited to have them back with us again this weekend.

We hope your Cinco plans involve us, but if not, what are your plans for this weekend?

Drinks That’ll Make You Say “Can I have another?”

Between new drinks like the Daydreamer and the Kinky Sangria and favorites like the adult Ultimate Root Beer Float, we guarantee our drinks will quench your thirst under the hot desert sun daily. The new menu has a mix of options from bottle service to mojitos, cocktails and shots, but best of all, everything is affordably priced…and of course, great-tasting!

The Best Looking Pool Cocktail Servers This Side of the Strip

We’ve received the title of Best Cocktail Waitresses in the city before so we certainly plan to bring you easy on the eyes servers this season. With new uniforms and training already underway, these lovely ladies will deliver unrivaled service every day of the week.

A Good Time…Again and Again

Let’s face it, there a number of pool venues where you can have a good time, but at many of those places, your good time lasts one time and it costs you a small fortune between the cabana, bottle service, and extras like the candy party pack afternoon snack. At our pools, particularly at our age 21+ dayclub, DayDream, you won’t find astronomical prices. Instead, you’ll find affordable prices for the cabana, bottle service and even food. Our goal isn’t to get you to visit us one time it’s to make DayDream your pool throughout the season.

Parties

What’s pool season without a few parties and with our spectacular venue we’d be remiss if we didn’t host a few parties throughout the season. You can expect night swims, industry days and sponsored parties at DayDream throughout the season with top DJs like DJ Hollywood, Koko and Truelove delivering all the music you love. In fact, our first party kicks off May 4 & 5 as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

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!

Worship the sun.

Chances are you're going to find yourself at a pool while in Vegas (trust us, you'll want to cool off). Whether you like things on a grand scale, (100,000 square feet grand enough for you?) or something a little more intimate, our very own Villaggio Del Sole and DayDream Pool Club are perfect for any pool patron. At either pool, grab a cabana, maybe a bottle or two (they start at only $65!) and enjoy the day lounging on a cushy chaise lounge chair with drink-in-hand. You can find more of our tips just for the pool, here.

Get happy during Happy Hour.

There's no reason for you not be happy while you're at M since we offer Happy Hour 24/7. We know it seems too good to be true but if you go to any of our inside bars cocktails are just $5 and bottled beers $3. To sweeten the deal, our restaurants offer their own happy hour deals on food. A whole sushi platter for just $10 at our rooftop restaurant Veloce, half priced appetizers from Anthony's Steakhouse, or even a hot dog and beer special from 32 Degree Draft Bar.

Play your cards like a true shark.

There's nothing wrong with playing the tables in the casino. But, each weekend our pool deck is populated with a great crowd. A crowd that includes a bevy of beautiful poolside black jack dealers ready to deal your next hand. So go out, get some fresh air and place your bets under the sun while taking in the great atmosphere of bikini-clad pool dwellers.

Leave time for relaxation.

Any well-versed Vegas traveler knows to leave room for a little R&R. What the locals know is to spend their R&R time at Spa Mio. Take advantage of their world-class massages, facials and other soothing treatments and also the amazing specials they offer (to everyone not just locals).

Join the Club.

Ever wonder how locals get comps (the Vegas term for "free") to our award-winning Studio B Buffet? We'll let you in on a little secret, it's because they're a member of our iMagine Rewards Club! Join our rewards club so you too can earn great comps, prizes and even cash back.

Get ready for an explosive weekend at our resort! We know the M is your go-to place when you want to get the party started (Happy Hour 24/7 anyone?) and we won't let you down this weekend. Think red, white, blue and an all-American day at our backyard pool!

Help us celebrate America's birthday by spending the day (or whole weekend) at our pool. From Friday, July 1 - Monday, July 4 all our pools will offer complimentary entry to everyone (yes, everyone!) Join the festivities at our main pool, which boasts over 10,000 square feet of water ready for you to dive into. For a more intimate (and still free) Fourth of July experience come to our adult pool, DayDream Pool Club Saturday-Monday.

It looks like it's going to be a hot one this weekend so take advantage of our great drink deals on our pool deck. You can order a bottle of vodka for just $65! We know you like to go first-class all the way so you'll probably want to enjoy your bottle in style on one of our daybeds or inside a VIP cabana (complete with your own private Jacuzzi pool.) For your daybed or cabana reservation needs call 702.797.1808 or email cabanarequest@theMresort.com.

If you're more of a card shark our Poker Room is having special promotions all day long. There are four ways for you to win on the Fourth! Get a Straight Flush (that includes a 4) and win $1,444, Four 4's will get you $444 with a room wide Flop-It Bonus, a Flush with all 4's is worth $144 and the games will receive $44 Splash Pots every 44 minutes!

Spending all the time by the pool or at the poker tables will give anyone an appetite. But, if you stick around at M you're in luck. Studio B Buffet will offer its signature Seafood Brunch/Dinner throughout the whole weekend. You know what that means, all the shrimp, oysters and crab legs you can stomach for four days straight (in honor of July Fourth of course.)

There's more to this holiday weekend than just partying. Our four-star rated Spa Mio is offering those with a valid military ID, two 50-minute services for the price of one! Sounds to us like the perfect way to wind down from a holiday weekend.

And in case you were curious, this year is America's 235^th birthday.

We'll be spending Memorial Day Weekend the only acceptable way - poolside, of course! This Friday-Monday our pools will offer complimentary admission to everyone (yes, really everyone) to get the celebration started off right. Complimentary admission extends to our adult pool DayDream Saturday-Monday as well. Both pools will have DJ entertainment to keep the festivities going all weekend long during the daytime and while you're lounging poolside, we recommend you try a pitcher of our Shinsei Sangria made with Riesling, Vodka, Plum Sake and Fresh Fruit.

If you want to continue your poolside partying (which we're sure you do), join us Saturday night from 8-11pm by our pool for a free concert. If you get there early (from 7-8pm) your first beer is on us! We're also giving you a chance to fulfill your rock star dreams and perform with a live rock band on our stage thanks to Rockstar Karaoke. If the party gets too hot, you can also dive into our pool at night (for free) to cool off.

We appreciate all our military personnel here at M and so just show us your (valid) Military ID and you'll be drinking 2-for-1 drinks all weekend at our pool, including DayDream.

If you haven't seen our pool deck yet it's expansive (to say the very least) and we have plenty of room to accommodate each and every one of you. If you'd like to do it in style, cabanas and daybeds are also available. Happy Memorial Day weekend and we hope to see you in our backyard.

The Main Lobby stairs are just waiting for you to climb.

So you indulged at our buffet and maybe had a cupcake (or two) from our bakery and washed it all down with one of our 96 beers on tap. There's nothing wrong with this (we're all about indulging), but even during your getaway in Vegas you'll want to stay in shape with places like DayDream Pool Club to hang out at. We know it's hard to make it to the gym, especially when you're traveling, so we're here to offer you a few travel-friendly fitness tips that you can practice here at M or wherever you might be traveling.

Take the stairs. We know elevators are much more convenient, but think of the burn you'll feel after walking from our casino level to our pool and spa level, or even all the way down to our wine cellar, Hostile Grape. Your lungs will thank you and you’ll thank yourself when you look at your killer legs.

Bring your running shoes. Why not add a little motion in your day? Lace up your sneakers and take a tour inside and outside our resort. We’re situated on more than 90 acres and with an expansive 100,000 square foot pool deck, you’ll have lots of time to get your fresh air fix, plus we have lots of great art to gaze at while walking around indoors.

The Fitness Center inside Spa Mio at the M.

Stay hydrated. It's a desert out there (no really, it is). Be sure to drink lots of water, it will help keep your body going and increase your metabolism so you burn more calories than normal, and it also helps maintain your muscle tone.

Bring your yoga mat. Starting or ending your day with yoga does the body good. And, rolling up your yoga mat and packing it for your trip takes a minimal amount of time and space. You can even practice your yoga moves in the privacy of your own hotel room.

If you’re more of a gym person, we also have a world-class fitness center available for your use; did we mention it has a pool view?
