The best hotel pools in Las Vegas 2023 - The Points Guy
Las Vegas is known for its flashy hotels and casinos, but did you know it's also home to some of the best hotel pools in the U.S.?
Whether you're planning a family trip to Las Vegas or just looking for a fun place to soak up the sun from about March to October, these hotels have some of the most impressive pools in the city. From rooftop oases to lavish day clubs, there's something for everyone (even if you are just a day guest).
Here are a few top contenders for the best hotel pools in Las Vegas.
Resorts World Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Best for: Those who want the newest that Las Vegas has to offer.
Why stay here: Have your pick of three new on-site hotels (Conrad, Hilton and Crockfords), more than 40 beverage and dining options, and extensive pool and gaming complexes.
Best way to book: The best way to book the Hilton or Conrad is directly or by using Hilton Honors points or free night certificates if you're looking to save your cash for the slots and tables. If Crockfords is your lodging choice, book through our partner Skylark to enjoy elitelike benefits and on-property credits. If you have access to bookings through American Express' Fine Hotels + Resorts or Chase's Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection, you can score extras like complimentary daily breakfast for two and space-available upgrades.
Located on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, just 4 miles from the airport, the Resorts World complex includes the Las Vegas Hilton, Conrad Hilton and Crockfords Las Vegas. Across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center expansion and close to the Fashion Show Mall, this location offers easy access to various attractions.
The hotel trio's incredible complex of pools (many of which are open year-round) includes the city's first-ever, adults-only infinity pool. There, you can lounge in a private bungalow before dipping in the serene pool with expansive city views.
The kids will have so many options they won't know what to do with themselves. Bounce between the Main Resort Pool — where the Agave Bar and Grill serves delicious food and drinks — and the Family Pool — where you can rent a private cabana for the whole brood.
Unique and fun water features sprout from the Family Pool, offering fun for kids and adults alike. The Bimini Pool offers guests a lively place to lounge with extensive amenities, including a giant-size chess board and a convivial bar.
