Best Pools For Relaxing
If your goal is to chill by the poolside in a lounging chair with soft music around, you need somewhere that isn’t crowded with party-goers. Alone or with your close friends, these are the best pools for a peaceful retreat.
The Pool at the Palazzo
Loaded with lounge chairs and day beds around, The Palazzo offers one of the cozier and relaxed pools in Las Vegas. The cabanas around the pool are supplied with ceiling fans for those hot days, DVD players for some vintage entertainment, and refrigerators for beverages chilled to ice. While you relax, the DJ plays music and the servers never tire of bringing you fresh towels for just another round in the pool. An array of fancy drinks coming in while you loosen up completes the picture.
The Mirage Pool
The Mirage pool is often featured on TV and once you have been here, you won’t wonder why. The relaxing sounds of the waterfall make for the ideal background noise as you lie down on one of the lounge chairs and soak up the sun before or after a long night out partying.
The servers are attentive and you have the option of walking up to the bars for the right drink to sip as you tan yourself. Sometimes instead of fancy activities, all you need is a nice, clean, inviting pool that people of all ages can enjoy.
The Four Seasons
Not only is the pool amazingly relaxing at the Four Seasons, but the view of the Strip from their hotel is often termed one of the best views in Las Vegas. When you are in need of a completely secluded spot by the swimming pool with just a few people of your choosing to accompany you, Four Seasons is the place to go.
The pool deck is newly landscaped and very private cabanas are available for full-day rentals. You can opt for light meals and various beverages while you unwind.

Free and Open to the Public Pools
If you are not staying at one of the fancy pool hotels but still want to have the experience, some places allow non-guests to enter their pool area; whether for a small charge or completely free. Keep in mind that hotel rules change all the time, so check with the front desk before going.
Planet Hollywood Pool – The Scene
Offering two separate pool decks, two bars, and live DJs, the Scene Pool Deck at Planet Hollywood is the IT place. For the ones more inclined towards relaxing rather than partying, there are 31 cabanas and daybeds that serve the purpose. The Pool is free for public admission, but the FlowRider has a $25 charge per person.
Topgolf’s Hideaway Pool
At the Topgolf resort, you can take advantage of the lounging pool while entertaining yourself with the 28-foot video wall, and a full bar. For those who prefer their party scene a little more private, cabanas can be rented out. If you are 21 or older, Topgolf does not ask for a cover charge and is open on weekends from 10 am to 6 pm.
LINQ’s Influence Pool
If you are 21 years of age or older, the pool at LINQ is open and free for access. It is one of Las Vegas’ newest party pools that offer games, beer pong, and amazing food coupled with cocktails of your choice. It sounds like a good deal!
Harrah’s Pool
At Harrah’s, whether you are seeking seclusion or a number of like-minded people to meet and enjoy with, Harrah’s is the place for you.
Besides being free to enter, Harrah’s offers several early bird and happy hour discounts for those who choose their bright and colorful pool area.

Best Pools For Families
Vegas is not only the perfect place to unwind with friends and close ones, but even families can come over and have plenty of fun experiences. If you are looking for a place with a pool that will satisfy the needs of all age groups, here are a few options to consider.
Mandalay Bay Beach
The Mandalay Bay Resort has taken the lack of beaches in Las Vegas quite personally. To overcome this lack of a water body, they have created a faux beach with 2,700 tons of sand, and a 1.6 million gallon wave pool.
If you are visiting with family, there are plenty of activities the little ones can indulge themselves in, including the river experience that they (and you) can have by floating an inner tube down the Lazy River. Don’t worry; it is kid-friendly!
Splash Zone- Circus Circus
There is no other way to say it: the Splash Zone at Circus Circus is a ton of fun with the kids. Instead of offering a regular hotel pool, the hotel has gone all-out by adding water park features to their existing pools. With over one acre of water fun reserved only for hotel guests, the water park has three different kinds of water slides, a water playground, and two whirlpools!
For older kids and for you, the four-lane water slide racers are exhilarating! For younger kids, there is a splash pad playground area with water jets, waterfalls, and water cannons. With family, Circus Circus is the place to stay.
Excalibur Hotel & Casino
Excalibur has waterfalls flowing from a large rock formation along the side of the pool and some fabulous waterslides that people of all ages can zoom down! There are multiple pools at the Excalibur Hotel’s pool area and a lot of lounge chairs for the parents to relax while the children have the time of their lives. If your kids are much younger, there is a pool with a shallow area that non-swimming kids can enjoy safely without fear.
Best Pool for Families
Splash Zone at Circus Circus
Without a doubt, with its crazy water activities and colorful, kid-friendly environment, Splash Zone at Circus Circus is the best poolside hotel if you are in Vegas with your family.
Best Pools in Vegas For Couples
For a couples’ weekend getaway, Vegas is the perfect place. Besides the terrific parties you are about to treat yourselves to, you can also enjoy a poolside rave; or if you want to enjoy some solitude with your beau, a quiet poolside lounge. Here are the best pools for couples to visit in Las Vegas!
Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria
The Liquid Lounge at Aria has a delightfully secluded pool with classic Vegas vibes; palm trees and views of the orange-pink sunsets. To ensure complete relaxation, the VIP service of the hotel takes good care of your drinks and snacks whether you are spread on one of their many daybeds, or the high-tech cabanas.
For couples, it is good news that the venue is adults-only and there won’t be any screaming children ruining the ambiance of the place. Plus, DJs travel here from the world over to perform, so you might get lucky enough to attend a concert during your stay!
Bellagio Hotel
The Bellagio Hotel pool is the goldilocks of all places. It is neither too big nor too small; neither too crowded nor too empty, neither too loud nor too quiet- you could say it is just right. Rather than the grand designs of other hotels like MGM or Mirage, this pool is beautiful in an understated way.
If you decide to stay at the Bellagio Hotel for their pool, you will not be disappointed. Not only is it perfect for couples to cozy up together, but it also offers the best-decorated rooms with maximum comfort, and food fit for kings.
Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis- Caesar’s Palace
Even if you have never set foot in Las Vegas, you already know about Caesar’s Palace. The ultimate luxury hotel and casino for the entertainment you will remember for a lifetime. Swim in the pool, sunbathe on the lounge chairs, or reserve a daybed or a cabana for a private party – it really is a pool for the gods.
The pool is free to enter for guests of the hotel, but others can also get in for a cover charge of $20. Enjoy the royal retreat to the best of your ability; just remember to drink responsibly to not end up like The Hangover guys!
Best Pool for Couples
The Bellagio Pool
With the 5-star atmosphere, attentive service, and soft music, this is a special place to relax that special someone.
Party Pools
Wet Republic at MGM Grand
Wet Republic is a staggering 54,500-square-foot venue with sparsely-clothed bodies writhing to the DJ’s beats. If you are a party animal, Wet Republic serves up a crazy party scene. Fancy drinks, dipping pools, daybeds, and party cabanas – all this makes for a wild, festive atmosphere.
If you are really down to party full-capacity, Wet Republic at the MGM Grand will serve you well with an authentic Vegas pool experience.
Drai’s Beachclub at The Cromwell
The Drai’s beach club is one step above others with its 30,000 square feet of rooftop waterside partying. On top of the usual luxuries you expect, the view of the Strip from the 11th floor will take your breath away.
There are seven different swimming pools, two cocktail bars, 40 daybeds, and 30 cabanas and bungalows you can book for intimate parties. Lest you forget, the palm trees littered around the venue keep reminding you where you are.
With DJs, dancers, and fashionable guests, Drai’s beach club is a lively event, whether day or night.
Tao Beach at the Venetian
Tao Beach is the fanciest of Las Vegas hotel pools. The clientele at Tao is (there is no other way to put it) beautiful and influential. If you want to party with the ‘it’ crowd, Tao is the place to be. In this 18,000-square-foot party zone you get fresh cocktails, amazing music from international DJs, and at night, two tall fire columns!
The décor at this poolside is inspired by Asian design with Buddhist elements incorporated throughout. Even the menu at Tao doesn’t disappoint with its American plus Pan Asian range. If you want real extravagance, visit the Venetian.
