Rent a bed for the day, or a cabana, it's worth it. My bestie and I rented two beds, and they were ours for the entire day and included our own server that just happened to be a super nice hot babe in a white bikini. Of course I would have preferred a Geddy Lee look-a-like without his shirt on and my best friend would have enjoyed a naked Abercrombie model to fan her but oh well we'll take what we can get.
The day we went it was unimaginably hot. It was nose bleed hot. It was kill your iPhone hot http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/garden-of-the-gods-pool-las-vegas?select=P4fCuPBTymX4-rmHes__mQ#P4fCuPBTymX4-rmHes__mQ
Before you even consider stepping out into the pool area do yourself a favor, go to Costco and buy the biggest tub of sunscreen that you can find and bring it with you.
The pools are super relaxing and a lot of fun. Great for people watching and they even have gaming tables in the water, cold water is always stocked at the bar for those hot Las Vegas days, there's a snack bar, etc...
But don't expect everybody at the pool to be a sexy bitch. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/garden-of-the-gods-pool-las-vegas?select=P4fCuPBTymX4-rmHes__mQ#Lqsdr7doVCyaerEOyimlfA Those are my fat little legs and there were bigger chubbies than me walking around. I only bring this up because I've seen some of you shallow assholes complaining that you've had to spend your time in Las Vegas with people that don't look like models.
Must be tough.
