Best Vegas Pool Scenes Locals Love

This is a guide to Las Vegas pools you can enter without a room key, for locals and visitors planning a swim day. It spans downtown Fremont Street, the Strip, west Flamingo Road, Summerlin, the southwest valley and Henderson, and the details note whether entry is free, a day pass or a cabana.

Stadium Swim at Circa stacks six heated pools in front of a giant screen with swim-up bars, which makes it the go-to on NFL Sundays. The Sandbar Pool at Red Rock Casino Resort has sandy beach areas, and the Backyard Pool at Green Valley Ranch is palm-lined and calmer than Strip dayclubs. Down in Henderson, M Pool's two heated infinity pools face the Strip skyline. Most decks are seasonal, roughly spring through fall, so check dates first; Palms Pool is free for anyone 21+ and lets locals book free cabanas on its website.
