Wet Republic from the AOD Invasion

I think everyone on JC pretty much knows I m very bias about Wet Republic. So I m going go ahead and just push all the stars up 5 regardless on Yelp. Don't hate.. this place is awesome.

On this particular trip, I skipped the Marquee Dayclub on the schedule went with Wet on Saturday because I dig Avicii and Bromance (its an awesome song). So I ended up going to Wet twice. Here we go.. Wet Republic review #529529-

Whata view from the front

Saturday - Round 1

I got here with a minimal crew because Thomas told me Saturdays are absolute shitshow days. Sure enough when I pulled up in the cab I saw a line running around the MGM hotel pool, and it kept wrapping around. I waited for Tolek and his friend Jayne to show up and fortunately Thomas was up front and he just let us slide right in.

Before we know it, we got in and jumped right in the pool the first chance we got. I wanted to just stay out of the heat and relax this particular day. XS took a lot out of me the night before.  By about 2'ish Avicii came on and just about tore the roof off this place. The entire bar/front dance floor stage area basically turned into a mosh/ shuffling pit. I made a couple of trips to check it out, but Saturdays are simply too insane. Come here ready to get down and dirty.  I also met up with Amit and Chait a little later, got a good buzz and sang along to Bromance when it came on. Overall it was insane and exactly what I expected my Wet experience to be.

Sunday - Round 2 aka Fuck Me I m Famous Day!

Will I Am throwing it down on FMIF Day

This was the official JC party and it was last chance for the entire Team Encore crew to come out together for the last time. So we got up extra early and extra prepared knowing how the lines get insane by 11. We got here at 11:15 and Thomas was already waiting for us. This is the day when we were going all out on a premium location. We all followed Thomas and sure enough the location was right infront of the DJ booth. A dancefloor Wet Republic couch right infront of Will I Am!

We got in and got settled, and the whole pool area was decked out with FMIF gear and pool toys. The go go dancers even wore special outfits to celebrate this occasion. About noon'ish all of JC started to roll right in and AOD had setup this lounge deck table and I had to go up there to holla at my boys.  I was already 2/3s deep on my bottle before I went up, so I m ready to shuffle and crunk with it.

I saw Ricky back there with Stylez, JB and the rest of the crew and I decided to break it down with the rest of the guys that are down with shuffling. The hard house music kicked in and the feet was just in motion on their own. Plus it is really good cardio at the pool. Them chicken fingers just dont burn up on their own you know.

After getting my exercise on I went back to the daybed to hang out for Team Encore for a min. Ricky comes over and he was bleeding from the mouth, "What happened man? Your bleeding!" " I did a faceplant while I was shuffling.." "Nooo" We take this shuffling thing very seriously!

Ricky was telling me a story about shagging some girl the night before, and sure enough on queue she walks by our dancefloor couch.  I was like "No shit?" Then the next thing I know hes over there talking to her, and he wasn't kidding. I was having a few drinks on my own and noticed at the corner of my eye that this girl was really breaking it down EDM style and she gave me the glance. I gave her the glance and she didn't pretend to look but fixed her hair. Just like Skrillex I am in for the kill. I was out of mixers for some reason so I straight poured her shots. Her and her friends were totally down. We did shots, talked a min and it turns out shes coming back for EDC. So I took down all her info. I asked where she was from and she was a local. I didnt think anything of it, but after I added her on FB she is Morgan Nichole the dancer at Chateau. Wow.. LEGIT.

Angela Shih was our lovely hostess

Morgan ended up having to leave and then I was chilling with some random Yay area peeps from another dance floor couch. The waitress came over and asked me if I wanted some complementary redbulls? At $8 a can, I ended up taking 4 of them and kept the party going.  Apparently she wasn't too busy so her and I struck up a pretty good convo on just about everything for like 30 minutes. I told her about JC, and turns out she partakes in one of the industry locals bikini contests. I took Angela Shih's name down and I will definitely be voting for her. Also if you want to request Angela good luck. She only does reservations 3K and up. Either ways she is smoking and keeps it real. Thats a type of girl I can respect.

Moral of the story... if you are at Wet and you think you met just some random hot chick. They aren't! They could be a VIP in disguise and they are just great people to know.  Looking forward to coming back in June just simply to network, and of course a bit of shuffling never hurts since Wet knows their EDM inside out.

Shoutout for Thomas Gorman at Wet Republic. Senior VIP host and delivering great service year after year.
