THINGS TO DO

BEST POOLS IN LAS VEGAS

The best pools in Las Vegas ranked by locals — Mandalay Bay, Caesars Garden of the Gods, Cosmopolitan, Red Rock, and more. Pool-season picks.

01

Mandalay Bay Beach

A real sand beach, a wave pool, and a lazy river. Still the best big-pool complex on the Strip.

02

Caesars Palace Garden of the Gods

Seven pools, Roman columns, and the best adult pool (Venus) if you're over it.

03

Cosmopolitan Boulevard Pool

Pool parties above the Strip with live concerts. Views and noise for days.

04

Red Rock Resort Backyard Pool

Two pools, cabanas, desert mountain backdrop. Our favorite off-Strip pool scene.

05

Green Valley Ranch Pool Backyard

Grass, palm trees, Strip skyline views. Henderson's best-kept secret.

06

Wynn Tower Suites Pool

Exclusive to Tower Suite guests — the quietest luxury pool on the Strip.

07

Aria Liquid Pool

DayClub energy on weekends, chill vibes weekdays. Good food, young crowd.

08

Venetian Voyagers Club Pool

Four pools, cabanas, hidden adults-only Tao Beach. Underrated.

09

Bellagio Cypress Pool

Quiet and classy. Cabana rentals come with service and great cocktails.

10

MGM Grand Wet Republic

Pool party central. Skip this if you want quiet; come here if you want chaos.

11

Resorts World Pool Complex

Eight pools. Newest of the bunch. Kids welcome, families approved.

12

Palms Pool

Reopened renovated and we love it. Infinity edge with Strip views.

13

South Point Pool

Locals' pool. Cheap food, cheap drinks, zero pretense.

14

Circa Stadium Swim

Six pools stacked like stadium seats around a 143-foot screen. 21+. Sports-bar DNA.

15

Waldorf Astoria Pool (SLS/Hilton)

Highest pool on the Strip. The quiet-luxury option.
