The Las Vegas Wet water park project

Anybody who have been to Vegas in summer knows that it's too damn' hot!

Actually, it's always hot in Las Vegas all year long! Many swimming pools everywhere in each hotel , but, since the closing of Wet and Wild in 2004, something was missing: a great themed water park!

And this is probably why the future Las Vegas WET water park will be welcome by everybody. Designed by Thinkwell Co, the 25 acres water park is just a small part of the whole project that will include themed hotels, the largest indoor snow dome in North America where guests can ski and snowboard down man-made snow on a variety of slopes encompassing roughly 150,000 square feet, A snow play area will be provided for children, An ice rink for skating and hockey, a 60 acre Internationally Recognized Theme Park Brand, a sports arena, a performing arts center, a nightly spectacular show of water, lighting and pyrotechnics that is all set to a musical score replete with live performers, and of course - let's not forget we are in Vegas - the inevitable casino.



But today, we will focus on the water park itself, with renderings of the different "lands" and the description, from the press release:

"At this water park, a variety of themed “lands” await guests with the most innovative and thrilling water-based rides and attractions available anywhere in the world. You can take it easy, spending a leisurely day floating down an exotic river. Or you can throw all caution to the wind, shooting through a retro modern conveyance tube. The Project can be a riotous and wet fun-fest, a relaxing and sensual delight, or a whole lotta both!



Luxe Lagoon

The main entry and central hub of Las Vegas Plunge is an indoor/outdoor lagoon and water activity area with a markedly “future retro” feel (think Shag or Googie architectural style). Here guests will find the excitement of a giant wave pool and indoor beach, along with a dizzying array of water slides, including the exhilarating “pneumatic tube” water coaster. All of the other exciting lands (with the exception of the Hidden Riviera) can be reached in various ways from the centralized Luxe Lagoon. Luxe Lagoon includes:

* Giant wave lagoon
* Sleek and slippery water slides
* Clear tube water coaster
* “Dive-in” movies
* Swim up diner
* “Shag” martini bar
* All-microwave cafe and “60’s” style automat




Painted Desert and Endless River

There are many ways to get around and explore the fun of The Project, but certainly the most intriguing mode of transportation is the Endless River; a state-of-the- art high capacity water system that begins in Luxe Lagoon and winds its way through the entire water park (except the Hidden Riviera). Guests float on inner tubes, rafts, and even covered "mini-cabanas" from one destination to another. But the river's most stunning feature is that it unites the park and effectively eliminates lines. Unlike traditional "lazy rivers" at other water parks, guests have a wide selection of river experiences such as slow-moving currents, whitewater rapids, or even detours through tube chutes, and Master Blaster style uphill water coasters. The whole park is one giant water ride!

Combining the stunningly colorful geological formations of Valley of Fire and Bryce Canyon National Park, with invigorating water slides and swirling pools, this refreshing indoor/outdoor oasis is no mirage. Relax in a private cabana, swing lazily in a hammock, or explore incredible indoor grottos with azure pools and spectacular waterfalls.

* Waterfall slides that cascade over the rocks
* Indoor hidden grottos with cold plunge and hot tubs
* Endless River flows through slot canyons and desert caves as it traverses this land
* Hidden “hot springs” and surprising geysers
* Partially submerged version of the Cadillac Ranch
* Mining sluices that drop raft-riding guests into crystal pools



Survivor Island

Dive into your very own tropical playground right on the Las Vegas Strip! Here guests will find lushly shaded beaches, soothing pools, and tempting water adventures, all with a South Seas twist. From the actively competitive to the avid spectator, there is plenty of water fun to be had here.

* A boulder crawl and climbing wall extends directly over the water

Vintage Vegas

Accenting the scenic melange of classic Vegas signage are enormous dice, gigantic poker chips, and humongous playing cards.Take a refreshing dip in the large, shaded pool or slip ’n’ slide down some of the wackiest chutes this side Flamingo Boulevard.

Glacier Bay Play Pools

Brrr! It’s always refreshingly frosty among the “snow-covered” rock formations at inviting Glacier Bay. This land provides families with a haven from the heat.Young children and toddlers will love the zero depth entry pool with squirting “ice floes”, cold geyser fountains, mini slides, a pint-sized inner tube river, and squirt gun stations.The perfect place to chill with your kids, this partially shaded wet/dry fun zone has a wealth of activities for the entire family to explore together:

Guests will access this exclusive European-style pool and sunning area via a completely separate entrance gate. Offerings include a beautiful private beach, luxurious pools and hot tubs, a fine restaurant, bar, and dance club, so that visitors can indulge all their senses by sampling epicurean delights, exotic libations, and other equally stimulating activities.

Well, it looks a pretty cool project, isn't it? And the Thinkwell design - let's remember that the Thinkwell co is designing theme park and attractions all over the world - should be impressive when the park will open.

And what ever you will do in the jacuzzis, remember the famous quote: "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!"
