Okay, real talk—if you’ve ever skipped a Vegas pool party because you didn’t know what to do with your stuff, we totally get it. I used to overthink it too. Like, where do you even put your phone, wallet, and keys while you’re in the water?
Now that we’ve been to a bunch of these pool parties, we’ve figured out a few simple ways to handle it. Here’s what works:
What to Do with Your Stuff at Vegas pool parties:
Under the Chair
Honestly, most people just throw their stuff in their shoes, then slide the shoes in a corner. Toss a towel or shirt over it and boom—out of sight. It’s not Fort Knox, but if you’re not bringing anything crazy valuable, it usually works fine.
Pool Bags & Purses
A lot of girls bring cute pool bags or purses and do the same thing—set them down near their chairs and just keep an eye on them. Just FYI, some venues now require clear bags, and big bags might not be allowed, so double-check before heading out.
Waterproof Pouch or Fanny Pack
If you’re worried about stuff getting wet or swiped, grab a waterproof phone pouch or a small fanny pack. You can wear it in the pool, around your waist or neck, and it keeps your essentials close. Total game-changer.
Keep It Super Minimal
Bring as little as possible. If I’m staying at the hotel that has the pool party, I’ll sometimes just leave my phone in the room. All I really bring is:
- Identification
- Room key
- A credit card
All of that fits in a shoe or wrapped up in a shirt. Plus, even if something did go missing, none of it’s super easy to use by someone else. Check out our guide on what to bring to a pool party in Las Vegas.
Use the Buddy System
If you’re rolling with a crew, make a pact to keep an eye on each other’s stuff. Someone should always be facing your spot. It’s not perfect, but it definitely helps.
Ask About Lockers
Some pool parties actually have lockers—but they’re not super common and might be limited. It’s always worth asking a staff member when you get there.
Pro Tip: Cabanas & Daybeds Have Safes
Here’s something hardly anyone talks about—if you’ve booked a cabana or premium daybed, there’s usually a safe built in. It’s such an underrated perk, and it makes the whole “where do I put my stuff” thing a non-issue. Learn more about pool party bottle service.
Don’t let the fear of losing your stuff stop you from having a good time. Bring the basics, stash things smart, and enjoy the party. Vegas pool parties are supposed to be fun. Don’t overthink it—just go and enjoy the moment.
