Best Pools On The Strip?

Was wanting others opinions on the best pools on the strip. And.... What kind of policies do most hotels have on non-guests checking out their pools? Any help is appreciated.





Best Pools On The Strip?


Most if not all pools have very strict polices on non-guests not using the pool. Many check each room key. Some people on here will tell you that if there is a will, there is a way to get in but don%26#39;t go there expecting to be able to do it. Pools get very croweded in the summer so paying guests don%26#39;t want to compete with non-paying guests.





There are a couple of pools that have restricted hours where you can pay for a pool party atmosphere but I can%26#39;t help with that.





The best pools are Bellagio, Caesars,Wynn, Mirage, MB and MGM but some so them attract more families and kids if that is what you are looking for or trying to avoic.

The general best pools list usually goes: Mandalay Bay, MGM, Monte Carlo, Flamingo, Caesars and Mirage. Add Rio and Hard Rock for offstrip and Golden Nugget downtown. There is an actual site that ranks pools with photos, etc. You should be able to Google it easily.





If you are merely looking for a peak at the pools, that maybe easy to do. For example, if you head to the Palace Tower at Caesar%26#39;s and take the escalators up to the convention/ballroom level, you can see the whole pool area. If you are looking to use a different hotel%26#39;s pool, then the hotels can be strict about checking hotel keys.




We love the MGM pool. Have also spent time at the ones at Caesars, Mirage and TI.





The MGM pool area includes five pools, two whirlpools and a lazy river on 6 acres of space. Each pool area has it%26#39;s own bar and there%26#39;s a nice Cabana Grille restaurant out there with very good food and service. It all has a very tropical feel. We were there last week and found it the least crowded we%26#39;ve ever seen. One of the pools is open only to those over 14 years of age. This eliminates much noise . . . cannon balls . . . and MARCOOOOOOOOOOO POLOOOOOOOOOOOOOs! :) We like that.





Pool side massages are also available.





The Caesars pool is also very nice . . . white marble . . . I prefer tropical.





Mirage is also tropical, but smaller and much more crowded than MGM.





TI is semi-tropical. Smaller get than Mirage but less crowded. Fine . . . but not outstanding.
