Palm Springs is a resort town that happens to throw one hell of a pool party — low desert, high heat, and dance floors that are mostly outdoors and mostly in swimwear. The weekend to circle is Palm Springs Pride in early November, when the Riviera Resort pool hosts back-to-back day parties (Colossal, Rinse & Repeat), Desert Heat brings the circuit crowd, and Copa closes it down after dark. The whole scene clusters around the resorts, so book a room where the parties are and you can drift from pool to pool all weekend.
