Pool Hand Luke

A Vegas Pool for Every Occasion

The good news: it’s pool season in Vegas. The bad news: it’s pool season in Vegas. Actually, it’s probably only bad if you hate hot-tub-equipped cabanas and general feelings of joy. Regardless, here are five bodies of water worth your time this season.

Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay
FOR THE DAYCLUBBER

Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay

This is where you’ll come when Ibiza feels just out of reach. Because here goes: a 4,400-square-foot pool, 23 cabanas, a vine-covered stage with a bunch of DJs you know and, right... the VIP bungalows have their own private hot tubs and personal misting systems. You knew there’d be mist.

XS at Encore
FOR THE NIGHT SWIMMER

XS at Encore

Most clubs make you wear pants and things. This club does not make you wear pants and things. Because XS is taking the party poolside on Sunday nights with all the champagne and David Guettas you’d expect from such a turn of events. Inflatable dance floor. You should get on that.

Sundays through Labor Day, 10pm-4am, Nightswim at XS at Wynn Encore, 702-770-0097

Bare Pool at Mirage
FOR THE HATER OF CLOTHING

Bare Pool at Mirage

We would never tell you how to dress. Especially at this pool. Because, well... you won’t be needing many clothes here. Becoming mostly naked isn’t just an option, it’s highly encouraged. Clothes are a sign of weakness.

Boulevard Pool at the Cosmopolitan
FOR THE GAMER

Boulevard Pool at the Cosmopolitan

Your body can only take so much sitting-there-wearing-sunglasses-and-sipping-on-things. Sometimes you need action. Recreation. Ping-pong. Foosball. Poolside pool tables. The grassy area overlooking the deck at Boulevard Pool has these things for you. Aw, they should have.

Cypress Lounge at Bellagio
FOR THE MORNING-AFTER

Cypress Lounge at Bellagio

Some days, you just need a little peace and quiet. And a personal server fetching you smoothie shots. And someone to give you massages. On a raft. In the pool. Enter: Cypress Lounge at the Bellagio, which was specifically engineered for mornings-after. Probably.
