Here is another way to piss off your money in Vegas.

Party pools will continue to make waves in Vegas this spring and summer.

The Sapphire strip club, which bills itself as the largest in the world, has just announced plans for an adults-only pool, built next to the club on Industrial Road. It'll be a pool complex with cabanas and DJ, due to open this spring at an as yet-undisclosed date, according to a press release.

Expect club dancers to enhance the appeal of the $8 million Sapphire Pool & Day Club; however, the Las Vegas Advisor says that women who doff their bikini tops must wear pasties.

This is not the first time Sapphire has dipped its toe into Vegas' bubbly party-pool scene. The Sapphire Pool at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino drew dancers, and was a talked-about scene until it voluntarily closed in July 2009 after failing what was called a Las Vegas police "integrity check."

The Las Vegas Sun reported that nearly a dozen people were arrested in a drug and "prostitution-related" bust and published a photo gallery of some of the people arrested.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Harrah's Entertainment, which owns the Rio, said at the time it had police check up on its clubs, pools and other attractions just to be sure there's nothing illegal going on.

The new club is looking to amp up its entertainment value, and is looking for a DJ. Think you have what it takes to win the $100,000 contest (you need at least 5,000 social media followers and a demo tape), visit the contest website.

In its press release, Sapphire says the day club will be "a multi-level, state-of-the-art, three-tier pool utopia that can comfortably accommodate over 700 sun-worshiping party goers. Some of the features and amenities include men's and women's locker rooms with rich, natural woods, Italian tiles, plush fabrics and quality finishes that will pamper each guest with privileged comfort; two hot tubs, VIP cabanas, day beds, lounge chairs, DJ booth, entertainment platform, pool concierge and a retail area displaying a full line of clothing."

Readers, would this be on your Vegas wish list?

At 50 years of age I think I am passed the Pool Party scene. If I was 30 maybe. I think I'll just stick to the OG and Spearmint Rhino clubs when I am in Vegas. I would rather chill in a dark relaxed SC environment and not worry about all the bullshit a pool scene is sure to have. Give me a dark comfy booth on a couch anyday.

I'll give them credit for originality. The club/pool scene is the current hot thing in Vegas, but honestly I don't see this panning out.

Have any of you guys ever been to any of the topless pools in vegas? I tried it a few times, and although women get in free, we guys gotta pay like $10 to get in. And it is sadly exactly what you'd hope that it wouldn't be -a sausage fest. All guys hoping to eyeball some hot topless babes at the pool who never show up. I'll pass, even if it is sponsored by a strip club.

I wouldn't pay for this but like someone said, this pool shit is hot hot hot in vegas and I'm sure there are tons of young fools eager to part with their money and get little in return. Better them than me.

I spoke to a dancer at Sapphire's about this concept..according to her, it's also a venue to have their dancers be present, to attract customers for the club later in the evening. I too don't think it'll last. Who wants to drive out to another location for a pool party? That's not my scene but it doesn't make business sense to me. Unless they're trying to attract the water park crowd from Circus Circus.
