After eight days of work it was finally time to hit the pool, but this was going to have to be a fast visit because my flight took off in 3 hours.
There was a nice crowd enjoying themselves. I grabbed two towels and started searching for a chair. Luckily I was flying solo because it is easier than if I had an entourage. I was able to grab a chair near the main door. I settled in and laid back.
After a few minutes I realized my right ear was hearing the J. Giles Band and my left ear was listening to some Bob Marley. There was a DJ spinning near the bar and he was playing the cool reggae music.I had to laugh because this is Vegas, isn't there a guy to flip the switch to turn off the piped in music. I wanted to tell someone but the unhappy waitresses walking around selling drinks didn't seem to really care, so I ignored my right ear.
The pool is old but still fun. There is a bar that is shaded with a nice roof. So if you want to get out of the sun and have some food or drinks it is perfect for that.
The chairs are kind of like those very old chairs you would find at a roadside motel pool in the middle of nowhere. The pool towels were also those old school towels with the giant blue racing stripes on them. You know the towels that say, "Steal me and everyone will know!" Maybe they are originals from when this hotel was built? I have no idea but they all served a purpose which was to have 45 minutes of sun, after my long week.
As I laid there looking up at the big beautiful sky and very tall palm trees, I thought of escaping to an island paradise. Just then a plane flew over my head and I realized that it was time to end this pool party and grab a taxi to fly!!!
