"Never thought I'd be writing a review for a swimming pool, but here I am. (Mental note: check out DC YMCA very soon.)\n\nMGM's pool complex is a really nice oasis of relaxation -- minus the drunk, sunburned fools with 100 oz. souvenir MGM mugs, sucking down frozen daiquiris and shaking you by the shoulders while scream-slurring, \"Vegasssh, bayybeee! Get exshiteddd! Why aren't you exshitedd?\"\n\nThere's a lazy river (!!!), and it's fun to float a few laps around the complex -- but BOOOOO on you, MGM, for charging for a tube. The lazy river is mostly where the aforementioned scream-slurrers hang out, but fortunately there are 5 other pools to escape to. One of them is adults only and another is 14-and-up. Barmaids circulate taking orders for $19, 20 oz. pi\u00F1a coladas or $7, 12 oz. Bud Lights in metal bottles, or whatever your little liver desires. Riiip offff, but who's going to sit poolside *without* a tasty bev in Vegas? Charge it to the room and forget about it.\n\nAnd while Vegas as a whole provides endless opportunities for killer people watching, there's still no better place for it than the pool. I got to scratch 6 species off my People Watcher's Life List at the pool alone this weekend."^^ . . . "2010-09-21T00:00:00"^^ . . "9"^^ . "4"^^ . "13"^^ . "24"^^ .
