Las Vegas hotel pools are theoretically restricted to guests — but dayclubs sell tickets, some properties offer day passes, and certain creative approaches work for getting into excellent pools without a room reservation.
Dayclubs (Open to All)
The dayclubs (Encore Beach Club, Drai's, Wet Republic, Marquee, Tao Beach, Daylight) are ticketed events open to anyone. This is the primary legitimate way to access excellent pool facilities without a hotel room.
Hotel Day Pass Programs
- MGM Grand — Wet Republic offers non-event day passes during the week
- Golden Nugget Downtown — Pool access for non-guests available through their website
- Various hotels offer day pass access through the ResortPass app
The Dining Approach
Some pool restaurants offer pool access with a minimum food and beverage spend. Making a lunch reservation at the pool bar and meeting the minimum spend is a legitimate way to access certain hotel pools. Ask directly — some properties have this program, others don't.
