Texas

I think we are done with 90 degree days for the rest of the year, but we had a chance to go to Virgin Hotel’s pool club before things got too chilly.

We got free passes to the pool club as part of the Last Virgin Drag Brunch. Like everything else in the hotel, it was a very elegantly designed space.

All about the people watching

The cocktails were great, but the best part of the pool club is the people watching. There was the most bizarre mix of people — body builders with crazy tattoos, gay tables, Uptown girls, 25-year-old bros, and a woman who got kicked out about three times but kept materializing somehow.

I think the hotel knows that the pool club attracts riffraff because the security was on point. The presence of so many security guards was a little intimidating at first, but it quickly became apparent why they were necessary. The security guards were very friendly however (even when they were continually kicking out that woman).

It was a great time and made us feel very fancy. The pool club is normally $40/person which is a higher cover than what we’d typically pay, but maybe we’ll be back for a stay-cation soon — Dallasites get a 35% discount at the hotel. 🌴
