| - Not sure where to post about the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Pool Complex when you're not actually talking specifically about Rehab, which is what you hear about the most so I'll post this here and on the page for the hotel. But, the coolest thing about the Hard Rock Hotel Pool Complex is that during the week, you can use the pools for FREE! Yup, I said free!
When we walked in there wasn't anyone around to direct us or check us or anything, so we just grabbed some towels and started wandering to see where we wanted to hang out. The first thing we saw was the Rehab pool area and there was a DJ booth set up, the big pool and then a bar and swim up gaming that was not being used while we were there. The pool continued on the other side and around the bar and on that side, there was a water slide. I was happy about that as I love waterslides! We wandered until we found a spot that had a little sun, but plenty of shade, too as the husband likes to stay in the shade. We got settled in and after a little while decided it was time to take a dip. OH HELL NO! The pool was so freaking cold I could not stay in it... we headed to the Jacuzzi to warm up and I knew there was no way I was hitting THAT waterslide. The water was like ice water. That would explain why so few people were in it. I was pretty bummed, but we went back toour lounge chairs and did some reading. Oh, by the way, near the DJ side of the pool there are VERY few chairs... if you want to sit, you need to rent the daybeds, etc. that are available, but as you head to the other side, you will find some chairs, but not many!
After we'd been there a couple of hours, we decided to go try the little pool near the top of the waterslide to see if it was warmer (it wasn't) and then we saw a sign for another pool, so started exploring. What we found were more cabanas that are above the DJ area and another pool, Breathe. Unfortunately, Breathe was closed so we couldn't even see it, but then we noticed just around another corner was the Nirvana pool and thank you, this one was warm enough to swim in and there was a pool near the bar that was seriously warm. We picked up our gear and headed over to Nirvana, aptly named at this point.
Nirvana has a sandy beach on one side and the other side is your standard tile pool. It is also surrounded by cabanas and there is a bar with some bar games and it looks like they do swim up gaming when they are busier.
It's unfortunate that the other pools are so freezing, but its nice to know that there was still a pool that is swimmable. I just wish we'd discovered it earlier in the day!
I loved the layout and the landscaping of the Hard Rock pools. The option for non-guests to visit for free during the week is AWESOME, but I think they make up for it with the outrageous drink prices, so we stuck to the free ice water they set out. I just can't drop $20 on a 12oz drink. YIKES!
I definitely recommend you check this out when you're pool hopping Vegas like we do in the summer and we will totally be back if they do this next summer!
