The Best Hotel Pools in Las Vegas
A pool day is half the reason a lot of people come to Vegas, and the pools are not created equal. These are the hotels where the pool alone can justify the stay.
My favorite Strip hotel pools, in order.
1The best pool on the Strip, full stop. A real sand beach, a wave pool, and a lazy river.
South Strip, the last major resort on the south end
2Five pools, four hot tubs, and free lawn chairs across a big, calm courtyard.
Center Strip, at the fountains
3A huge pool complex with its own lazy river.
South Strip, across from Excalibur and New York-New York
4One of the best and most upscale pool scenes in town.
North end of the Strip, a little farther north than the Wynn, across from Resorts World
5A large two-pool setup, with the garden pool open later than most.
Center Strip, walking distance to the Forum Shops and Fashion Show Mall
