New Swinger Podcast | Apple | Spotify

Plush Parties brings dirty vanilla vibes to SoCal, Vegas & Lake Havasu’s sexiest hotels and mega-mansions. Hot bodies, luxe settings, and hilltop hedonism – here’s what really goes down.

By: Kat Swings

Plush Parties is one of the most talked-about names in the upscale swinger and lifestyle scene – known for their lavish hotel takeovers, LA-style sex appeal, and younger, attractive crowds. Founded in Southern California over a decade ago, Plush quickly became the standard for large, consistent, professionally-run lifestyle events that blend nightlife glam with playroom heat.

Their secret sauce? Think: a “dirty vanilla” vibe – part nightclub, part lifestyle party – where the music slaps, the outfits are fire, and the pressure to play is low… but the potential is very much there.

Vanilla Swingers Dirty Vegas Review - Plush Parties

What Are Plush Parties?

At its core, Plush Parties is built around the idea of “dirty vanilla” – that sweet spot between wild and approachable. These events aren’t full-blown public sex fests, but they’re far from tame. Expect grinding on the dance floor, makeouts in the hallway, flirtatious energy in every corner, and private playrooms or hotel suites where things get very real, very fast. Plush attracts a younger, highly curated crowd – mostly under 50, with an emphasis on good looks, great style, and a strong understanding of consent. You won’t find open sex in the middle of the ballroom, but you will find rooms full of threesomes upstairs if you know where to look. If you’re picturing EDC mixed with Eyes Wide Shut and a splash of Real Housewives, you’re on the right track.

The vibe is polished but not pretentious. But be warned – these parties can feel a little “cool kids table” if you’re not the type to make the first move. No one’s gonna drag you into a pile of bodies unless you put yourself out there. Bring a smile, a compliment, and maybe a second outfit change. Cliques exist, but you just have to break on through.

🎰 Dirty Vegas: Sin City, But Hornier

The flagship event is Dirty Vegas  – Plush’s crown jewel and one of the wildest hotel takeovers on the West Coast. Held every June in Las Vegas, it brings together over 1,200 lifestyle guests for a full weekend of flirtation, dance floor chaos, themed parties, and late-night hookups. Public sex is technically off-limits, but that doesn’t mean it’s a tame crowd. The real action happens in private hotel rooms and designated open play suites, where you’ll find lay-flat couches, California King beds, and couples inviting you in with nothing more than a look.

The event feels like EDC had a baby with the Playboy Mansion. Everyone’s dressed up, glammed out, and clearly there for a good time. Starting in 2026, Dirty Vegas will expand to a winter February edition as well, because once a year just isn’t enough for some of us.

🎃 Flesh & Fantasy Ball: Tricks, Treats, and Titties

This is not your mom’s Halloween party – unless your mom is a bisexual unicorn who looks amazing in latex. The Flesh & Fantasy Halloween Ball is Plush’s desert blowout in Palm Springs, and it’s a multi-day, costume-clad, barely-covered bacchanal.

People dress up to get down. You’ve got demons, angels, dominatrix Barbie, and plenty of “accidentally naked” moments. The playrooms open late, the dance floor stays packed, and the whole thing feels like a sexy fever dream. Pro tip: plan your connections ahead of time. A few DMs before the party can go a long way once you’re half-naked and tipsy on the dance floor.

🌊 Lake Havasu Takeover: Boats, Booze, and Bangin’

If you’ve ever wanted to f** someone you just met while floating in a lake surrounded by 1,000 swingers… this one’s for you. Plush takes over a beachfront resort on Lake Havasu around Labor Day weekend, and it’s sun-soaked insanity with a side of tequila.

There’s an infinity pool, boat rentals, a waterpark (yes, really), and beach bars full of beautiful people. It’s less glitzy than LA, but way more playful. Country meets California. It’s the perfect mix of sunscreen, sweat, and soft swap flirtation. And maybe a blowjob on a boat if you’re lucky.

PSST! Don't Miss!

🥂 Plush NYE: Glamour & Champagne in San Diego

New Year’s Eve with Plush is high-end and high-heat. Ballroom parties, satin dresses, velvet jackets, and an energy that feels like a countdown to climax. It’s not the wildest party of the year – but it might be the prettiest.

You’ll find playrooms tucked away from the main dance floor, and plenty of guests ready to flirt, tease, and maybe slip off to their suite before midnight. Just don’t expect a full-on orgy in the ballroom. It’s more “eyes across the room” than “eyes rolling back in your head”… until later. Dirty vanilla vibes all the way.

🏠 LA Mansion Parties: Where Luxe Meets Lust

Plush LA mansion parties are the kind of events you imagine celebrities secretly attend. We’re talking 14,000-square-foot hilltop sex palaces with infinity pools, California Kings in every room, and floor-to-ceiling windows so the city can watch while you get railed.

The crowd? Hot. The music? Deep and dirty. The energy? Somewhere between “EDM afterparty” and “porn star wedding reception.” Oh, and they’ve recently added a Newport Beach location for those of us who want our gangbangs with a view of the Pacific.

🧐 So Is Plush Worth It?

If you’re looking for full swap in a dungeon with public flogging and moaning echoing through the halls… Plush is not your scene. But if you love high-end environments, younger crowds, DJ-fueled flirting, and that possibility of ending up in someone else’s bed after midnight? Plush Parties nails it. Plush throws a fantastic party at a really great price point.

Yes, it can feel cliquey. Yes, you need to make the first move. But if you bring confidence, conversation, and a killer outfit, you’ll have a damn good time. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll leave with fewer clothes than you arrived in. So pack the pasties. Book the suite. And if you see us by the fire pit – don’t be shy. We’re probably halfway undressed and very open to a good conversation.
