Summer is just about here and the temperatures in Las Vegas are already heating up into the triple digits. If you’re headed to Sin City this summer, here’s a guide to where to cool off by the pool in Las Vegas.
Wet’n’Wild Water Park
Wet’n’Wild Water Park debuted in Las Vegas late last month to much fanfare. More than two dozen water slides and attractions on 41 acres offer cool summer fun, including the steep and twisted 360-foot Rattler water slide, speed slides, a 1,000-foot lazy river and a wave pool with 3-foot swells.
Beachlife at the Hard Rock Hotel
The Hard Rock’s sprawling pool experience is nearly 200,000 square feet of pools, cabanas, daybeds and lush surroundings. Beachlife includes the tranquil Nirvana pool with its sandy beaches and spa villas, as well as Breathe, which includes two secluded pool areas. If you’re looking to party, the two sandy beaches at Paradise Pool are home to the infamously sexy Rehab pool parties, held every Sunday through October.
Mandalay Beach at Mandalay Bay
Grab a cabana at this family-friendly pool and laze the day away – either watching the flat screen in your private cabana or floating down the quarter-mile lazy river. Families can also cool off at the wave pool, and those looking for more adult-friendly fun can hang out by the three pools and nearby Bikini Bar and Beachside Casino.
Grand Pool Complex at MGM Grand
At the Grand Pool Complex at the MGM Grand, you’ll find lavish pools, hot tubs, a lazy river and waterfalls. For an indulgent poolside escape, opt for one of the 26 cabanas equipped with an exhaustive list of perks. Outfitted for eight guests, the cabanas include flat screen TVs, private patios, tubes, and complimentary food and beverage service from Cabana Grille.
The Pools at the Bellagio
The Fountains aren’t the only star water feature at Bellagio. The Italian-themed hotel’s five pools create a romantic oasis removed from The Strip, where you can’t help but lounge poolside with a cocktail in hand. While the pools draw plenty of sun seekers, you won’t find a heavy party atmosphere here – the pools at the Bellagio offer one of the more refined and subdued poolside experiences in Vegas.
