the weather in the off season. Lately, (Nov) our weather has been in the
highs at 60 plus degrees and the lows at 40 degrees. This is

predict. Basically we have a winter season from November -March, but
among those days we can have warm weather in the 70's.

At the end of the year, normally in December, the pool is closed for
approximately one month for maintenance. Comments: This has
to be the most beautiful pool in Las Vegas. The Mirage has a series of
lagoons where waterfalls cascade into the pool and they even have three
waterslides. You can see their pictures (one overhead and one of the
waterfalls) at:
http://www.themirage.com/pool.html The pool area can get
crowded, but it is protected by security who checks keys. It used to be
that you could bring a key from a previous visit, but word is that now
they check the key by scanning it in a machine to make sure you are a
CURRENT guest at the Mirage. The rumor that Treasure Island guests can
use the Mirage pool is NOT TRUE.

Tropicana
pool has waterfalls, an indoor area, and swim up
blackjack. There are also 4 huge hot tubs.....Off-season:
During the cold months the Tropicana uses a glass partition to enclose
the covered section of its large pool by the hotel's Island Tower. The
pool and surrounding indoor area are kept heated to a comfortable level.
There is also a Jacuzzi spa there. In the winter one of the Tropicana's
smaller outdoor pools which is designated for adult use only is also
kept heated to about 90 degrees. Normally that would be too warm, but in
winter, when Las Vegas' nighttime air temperatures hover in the
mid-twenties, a midnight swim in that pool is like basking in a hot
spring.
Comments: There are two
pools here, one huge pool with waterfalls and a swim up blackjack table
and one smaller pool with smaller waterfall that is ADULTS ONLY. The
Tropicana closes the part of the hotel that is underneath the Island
Tower in winter and heat the pool year round. If you're planning on
spending a lot of time in the pool, you might want to consider an Island
Tower room. The elevator goes right down to the pool area.

"Pool FAQs"
Are there any deep pools?
Most pools are fairly shallow - Riviera: 9 feet - Bally's: 12 feet -
Binion's: 8 Feet (on the roof of the former Mint) - Tropicana: 3 Pools
5-6 Feet. No diving boards at any of the hotel pools. For safety
reasons, the high boards were pulled out in the late 70's. The rest
disappeared in the late 80's. Pools built in the 90's were limited to a
maximum of 3.5 feet. The Las Vegas Hilton also has a pool with a deep
end, but no diving board.
Are there any pool parties?
Lots of 'em....new way for hotel/casinos to make more money, etc... All
the major joints have 'em....The Orleans, Mandalay Bay and the Hard Rock
Hotel usually have pool parties from May through September. This is the
new "big deal" so lots of places are jumping into this pool party
idea...
Are any pools open late?
Binion's rooftop pool is open until 9 pm, and has a spectacular view. The
MGM pool hours are 8 am - 8 pm.
The Tropicana and the Flamingo have posted closings of 6 pm, but they are
usually permissive about late hour pool use.
Are there any indoor pools?
The only two hotels with indoor pools are not on the Strip. There's a Best
Western on Valley View about 10 minutes west of the Strip and the
Holiday Inn Express at Sahara & Durango is about 25 minutes to the west.
During the cold months the Tropicana uses a glass partition to enclose
the covered section of its large pool by the hotel's Island Tower. The
pool and surrounding indoor area are kept heated to a comfortable level.
There is also a Jacuzzi spa there. In the winter one of the Tropicana's
smaller outdoor pools which is designated for adult use only is also
kept heated to about 90 degrees. Normally that would be too warm, but in
winter, when Las Vegas' nighttime air temperatures hover in the
mid-twenties, a midnight swim in that pool is like basking in a hot
spring. The tough part is getting out of the pool.
Are any pools open in the winter? mostly not as
it is too cold in the winter months...but there are a
few open year around....see above
More on
Cabanas: Hotel guests are going bananas for cabanas. With
meals, massages and music, hotel cabanas are so hot, you'll need
reservations........Most often poolside but sometimes near a restaurant,
the tented retreats may be simple table-and-chair affairs or decadent
outdoor dens equipped with plush sofas, flat-screen TVs, sound systems,
refrigerators, misters and more.....most elaborate are staffed with
butlers. Changing into your swimsuit? You probably did that in your
hotel room. Instead, you'll likely be lounging, sipping cocktails,
dining, viewing DVDs or even getting a massage in a hotel's
cabana...Some cabanas are free, if you get out on the deck early enough.
More typically, though, they command $75 to hundreds of dollars a day.
The Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas rents one for $1,000 per
day...."The cabanas fill up every single weekend," said Rio spokeswoman
Heather Robbins. She suggests you reserve a week in advance to get
one....In Las Vegas, many resorts have cabanas. At the Palms, they start
at $150 per day and come with TVs, couches, a safe and more; there's
even a two-story model. The Bellagio's 52 cabanas go for $300 per day
and up; some have phones, computer plug-ins and music systems.
(Note: these cabana costs go up every season so be prepared for $$$$...)
