I think that are some crazy pool standards these days and please understand, this is a hotel that has no built in casino or shopping plaza and includes a kitchenette and has just one Starbucks that I know of. So the pool is gonna be low key! If that's not for you, you're probably not gonna have a great time here. My demo is family of 4 comprised of 2 adults + 2 kids. I feel like they built this pool for me. It's on the small size and there's really only one decent size pool. They have a shallow pool and a hot tub right next to the main stage. All the poolside amenities you would expect are available, such as guaranteed seats, cabanas, poolside food and drinks and the sun! I'm at the pool to keep an eye on my kids and trade off awake time with my wife. I don't need blackjack in my pool and jello in my shots. I'm old fashion. I'll get waisted by drinking 2 beers and staying outside by the pool while dehydrating and forgetting to drink water! I can do that at this pool and then go upstairs to my room and watch the Cavs Vs Boston while dozing off here and there. Thank you for letting me do that Vdara Hotel, Vdara Pool & Lounge and helpful Vdara staff.
