| - The pools here definitely offer up enough activity and sightseeing that I really didn't need to leave my hotel in order to get a good feel for the Vegas pool scene. I did anyway, because when you get free entrance to the most exclusive pools you're crazy not to take it, but had I spent each day here I certainly would have been satisfied in most regards.
As far as the pool complex itself goes, it's quite large, with multiple different areas throughout for folks with various interests. There is what you would consider "the pool" when you first come in, but there's also a lazy river style pool, with seemingly more people just hanging out than floating on tubes, and what is essentially a wade-in pool in front of the DJ booth and dancers, where they regularly had people doing ridiculous contests in order to win shots. It probably helped the liveliness of this pool scene that we came on a Saturday and the DJ was doing a great job keeping this EDC attendee loaded crowd actively engaged.
There are also multiple bars spaced out around the pool charging the typical insane amounts for subpar alcohol. I bought a bucket of Bud Lights for my friends for something like $35 (for 6 bottles), and a giant blue vodka loaded slushie for me was about the same. It makes sense how they can afford to offer hotel rooms so cheap in the off-season when they're doing this amount of gouging elsewhere, even if you completely ignore the take from the casino itself. Considering how much you spend on the booze here it's a bit annoying how hardcore the lifeguards are about you walking around with liquid while in the lazy river pool (and I would assume the others as well). We were getting whistled at constantly, and not in the good way.
I thought it was pretty cool that they actually offer an outdoor beach volleyball court here as well, since I don't recall spotting one at any of the other hotel pools I've visited. Although, I think if I hadn't been touring around to see everything I would have never spotted the men's bathroom, which is virtually hidden in the last possible corner of the pool area. I did notice however that nearby they had a water dispenser setup, for those of you who don't want to spend $6 for an overpriced Fiji bottle. If you want maximum pool exposure with the minimal amount of moving, check out the seats in between the wade pool and the normal pool, as the sun is overhead here pretty much the entire time during daylight hours, and if you're as lucky as we are you'll get to watch some skinny dude hyped up on bath salts dance wildly to every techno beat that's pumped out.
