Hands down, my favorite pool complex on the Las Vegas Strip! Who knew a hotel could have so many different pools?
The Grand Pool Complex consists of the following pools:
-Academy Pool
-Academy Spa
-Producer's Pool
-Talent Pool (has a volleyball net in the middle of the pool)
-Talent Spa
-Director's Pool
-Producer's Spa
-Backlot River/Lazy River
-Wet Republic (dress code enforced)
In addition to all of these pools, they have a Cabana Grill, over 3 bars, and 2 shops. They also offer cabana, tube and raft rentals.
MY FAVORITES
Margarita Bar-they sell margaritas in a small cup or by the yard. Get the yard!
Lazy River Pool-you can rent tubes to float around in the "river." It's totally relaxing until you float through the water geysers or under the man-made waterfalls...but that's what makes it fun!
PROS
+Towel service
+You can charge food, drink and rentals to your room
+Poolside massages service available
+Choose a pool to swim at according to your mood-or choose multiple pools!
+Good customer service at the bars and rental booths
CONS
+Seating is limited when the pools are crowded. They offer lounge chairs but they are first come first serve and you cannot reserve them. You can, however, reserve cabanas.
+If you are strictly looking for relaxation, your best bet would be to rent a cabana at one of the more private pools as the main pools are patronized by families with kids.
Keep in mind-you must wear your proper cover up attire over your swim suit while walking through the hotel to the pool. (It's a far walk!) Don't forget to bring your room key-you'll need this to enter the pool complex. If you're staying at the MGM Grand, make this one of your "must do's" as this has been my best pool experience in Las Vegas.
