H2O at Thunder Valley Pool

This BEST thing about my summer so far in 2014, is coming to Thunder Valley Casino… Enjoying the Coconut bar and Pool and RELAXING!!! I Love it here… Such a great place, awesome hotel, nice restaurants, great food, great drinks, lots of bar choices, plus spa, gym, and of course gambling/​smoking environment!
Outside, you get plenty of fresh air, cool music to listen to, and I have to say my visits to the pool area have been wonderful, getting some vitamin D, lounging, relaxing, and a couple drinks! I really like the pool and bar staff, all the girls have been so nice, bringing me water and checking if I need or want to order anything else! Great bartenders, I actually like the menu choices and even though it is kind of pricey cocktails or special delivery food, You know what, it is summer and we all deserve to treat ourselves! Have Fun, Keep Calm, and Enjoy your summer… it’s almost over!

Omg service is great here. Staff are great. Finally the pool area is open up again !!! Drinks !!! But I should be swimming here. Not jus lay around under the hot sun lol. Great for family fun…

Had my first visit yesterday afternoon with 8 girlfriends and we had a blast! We were lucky enough to get a cabana. Prices are $ 250… not bad however, the price doesn’t go toward any for our drinks like in vegas, it only covers the spot. Fortunately drinks are priced very reasonably! I got a drink for only $ 5.75! Perfect! There food available for purchase as well but the selection is sparse. Wait staff is attentive. Atmosphere was fun. Would definitely go again!

This is the place to be on Sunday, if you want to experience a Las Vegas like pool atmosphere. It’s a crazy scene. But, a great place to mingle and catch the sights and sounds.

This place is great, but you need to work at all winter to be pool side ready before you even think about heading out to H2O. Beautiful women $ 5 drinks how can you miss!!! Be sure to reserve a cabanna it gets hot as fish grease out there.

You won’t find another party like this except for in Vegas. Yes, I made the comparison. It’s pretty legit! See for yourself!

On a very hot and sunny afternoon in 2011, my boyfriend and I decided to visit Thunder Valley’s newly opened pool area. As we approached the entrance we heard live jazz music playing and when we got to the front gate there was no one to greet us or charge us an entrance fee. We had both just returned from a trip to Vegas where entering a hotel pool area will run you at a minimum $ 40-​$ 80. Granted, you might get to see a wicked good DJ and rub shoulders with a few celebrities, but judging by the looks of this place, Thunder Valley pool area had a lot of potential!
We walked in and saw a total of maybe 10 people enjoying the free daybeds in front of the empty cabanas surrounding their huge pool. We sat down, ordered some margaritas, and when the waitress asked for $ 10 we chuckled and decided we’d immediately order another round.“Just keep ‘em coming!” my boyfriend shouted. As we sat in the sweltering heat we were debating why this pool wasn’t playing modern music, why there was no DJ, why there was no crowd, and whether or not any promotions group in the area would grab a hold of this place and throw a Vegas style pool party?!
A year later H2O was born!
Party goers of Sacramento, REJOYCE! There is finally a day party classy enough and diverse enough to attend on a sunny Sunday afternoon! H2O has it right booking DJ’s Alazzawe and SN1 who generally rotate weekends. They’ve hired more waitresses, more bar staff and they’ve added a small food tent near the main bar. Caution! When ordering at the bar there’s a 2 drinks per person limit so if you’re ordering for a group of people make sure enough are present to get your order done at one time. Prices range from $ 4 to $ 7 a drink depending on what you order. That’s cheaper than any night spot downtown! Wait is short, and staff is approachable and attentive. You can grab a cabana for $ 150 apiece, but make sure to book your reservation well in advance as they sell out every weekend. Day beds are free, so are the towels, but you must get there early in order to secure a spot! Not kidding, place is packed! Party starts at 2pm and ends at 8:30pm. The crowd DOES NOT leave until the pool literally shuts down. They have different cash/​prize giveaways every Sunday. They also have an awesome photo booth that gives free paper prints as well as an option to share pix directly on your Facebook and Twitter!
All in all it’s an awesomely fun time considering you’re in the Sacramento area, getting wasted for less than $ 20 a person, listening to good music, capturing some embarrassing drunken moments in the photo booth AND are able to catch some rays on a day bed that’s FREE!
Phew!!! I think I’ve said enough. If I haven’t convinced you that this is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon, you can always take your happy butt down to that dirty river and play in the mudd with the rest of the kindergarten! I know I’ll be chilling by the pool, sipping on a margarita and getting my (card) roulette fix come Sunday!
Cheers friends and happy partying!
