It was 114 degrees the week I visited!! Of course I loved the pools!! While in town for a convention we had a couple of days where we wanted to take a break for an hour or two between events. Traveling to and from the Mandalay convention center via cab multiple times a day in record heat mixed with cold A/C and lots of convention center walking plus 17 hour days was a bit hard on our feet.
The Monte Carlo lazy river is where we breaked. It saved our bacon, er.. uh feet.. The concrete walking to the pool from our chairs was extremely hot, so hot you needed to wear shoes to the edge of the pool. Don't try it without your flip flops!! but It's Vegas, it's summer so it's hot!
We stayed in that lazy river the entire pool time. It was way too hot to hang out next to the pool but the lazy river gives you a chance to move around, chat with friends and still stay cool and get us refreshed for the next event. Great job on keeping the water so cool on those record hot days.
