While the rest of the country was wrapped up in blankets and braving some frigid temps, the sun was beating down on Las Vegas and the bikinis were out! Stadium Swim at Circa in Downtown Las Vegas hosted their annual Winter Swim Bikini Contest on Saturday and 44 bikini models turned out to compete for some cash prizes.

Set against a backdrop of blue skies and heated pools, the event delivered peak poolside glamour and unmistakable Vegas flair—proving that bikini season is a year-round state of mind.

Not only was The 702 Vegas there for the sun-soaked bikini action, but we were also asked to be a guest judge, and let’s just say, it was a tough competition to be judging!

The Sun And The Bikinis Were Out At Stadium Swim At Circa On Saturday

Forget parkas and snow boots – Las Vegas brought bikinis and flip flops to winter.

Stadium Swim welcomed competitors to its sun-drenched year-round pool deck for a winter bikini competition that celebrated confidence, style, and the city’s endless summer energy. With warm water and even warmer vibes, it was a reminder that in Las Vegas, seasons don’t apply.

Under the warm sun and in 65 degree temps, 44 bikini models strutted their stuff on stage at Stadium Swim in front of six judges and tons of fans.

Narrowing The Competition From 44 To 10

Narrowing down the competition from 44 to 10 was no easy feat. The top 10 bikini contestants, in no particular order were: Shelbi Byrnes, Evelyn Mazariegos, Sabrina Hung, Lizell Cabalquinto, Courtney Meuir, Lexie Potts, Najear Tenay, Cat Crabtree, Andi Nelson, and Carolynn Jameel.

While announcing the top 10, the contestants all made their way to the stage for another look so the judges could choose the top three winners. This was their time to shine once again and show their personality, enthusiasm, and tanned and toned bikini body to the crowd.
