If you’re going to Vegas this summer, there’s no doubt you’ll be lounging poolside when the sun’s up. That’s an easy and essential Vegas to-do. The hard part is picking which pool is the one for you. Allow us to make it a little easier for you. Here is your summer guide to the hottest pools in Vegas.
Best pools to escape and relax:
1. Delano Beach Club at Delano Las Vegas – This stylish retreat is for hotel guests and non-guests who have rented private cabanas only. Get playful with the club’s oversized, in-water chess board or relax in tree-strung hammock that’ll have you feeling all sorts of South Beach vibes. Oh, and don’t be surprised when you’re granted complimentary treats like frozen fruit bites and fruit-infused sparkling waters.
2. Sky Pool at Aria Resort and Casino – Another exclusive spot, the Sky Pool is open to Aria Resort guests only. Here, you’ll experience nothing short of luxury.
