| - I would rate the pool alone a 4 1/2 or 5 because of the pool and the service. However, I would rate Drenched, the pool's bar, a 2 1/2.
The pool is a nice pool for the price. I went at the beginning of summer when it was hot and did not have a problem finding a seat. If you want something specific, get there before 11am and you should be fine. It's a nice place to sit in the morning as the sun is not completely over the hotel at that point, but it does get very warm, which is to be expected. The pool is kept at a great temperature. The pool area looks nice with the palm trees and the rocks. There is also a water slide that I did not use, but it looks nice and it seemed like most of the kids were enjoying it. All of the lifeguards were very helpful. The pool is not a beach like some of the higher-end resorts have, but it is a nice pool and I enjoyed it.
There was some crazy activity by the pool, such as people jumping in the pool who were probably not thinking right at the time, but the problems were taken care of right away. And for Vegas, they weren't even really making that big of a scene, so I was impressed with the crowd that hung around the pool.
Wheelchair : If you are in a wheelchair, I would highly recommend this hotel's pool. There was an excellent group of staff members in the spa, as well as great lifeguards, who helped us with the wheelchair lift. It can move to where you want it and it is easy to use. The staff helped us a lot and did not make us feel rushed. It was the first time I used one, but they made it very easy.
I lowered the rating from what probably would have been a 5 to a 4 because of the bar inside the pool area. It's Vegas so I should have assumed, but they did not have a sign outside saying you had to be 21 to go in, and they serve food and other drinks so I thought it didn't matter. I'm over 21 and the guy practically barked at me to show him my ID, the first time he asked, when I was buying a non-alcoholic drink. I know they have to legally ask, but there are much nicer ways to ask, as I saw at many other hotels during my stay. The drinks were also very expensive, but again, it's Vegas so it's too be expected.
