MGM Resorts Pools
As temperatures begin to rise, guests will be enticed to chill out poolside with a cocktail or two, enjoy a private cabana or take in the high-energy tunes at Las Vegas’ coolest hot spots.

The Grand Pool Complex at MGM Grand is now open and welcoming guests to get started on their summer tans. Pool season at The Mirage and New York-New York will officially kick off Friday, March 1 and Mandalay Bay Beach and Luxor Pool open only days later Monday, March 4.

Guests can catch six-foot-tall waves and bury their feet in the sand at the 11-acre Mandalay Bay Beach. If they prefer a little poolside competition, they can gather a few friends and hit the sand volleyball pit at The Pool at Monte Carlo. Of course one pool is never enough, but a spacious complex with four pools may be plenty at the renowned Grand Pool Complex. And one not to overlook, the newly revamped Pool at New York-New York features more deck space, refreshed cabanas and a whirlpool. For the ultimate relaxation, guests can float their worries away in the lazy rivers at The Grand Pool Complex, Mandalay Bay Beach or The Pool at Monte Carlo.

It wouldn’t be Spring Break without an over-the-top pool party at Las Vegas’ hottest dayclubs. WET REPUBLIC Ultra Pool at MGM Grand is the home of electronic dance music and a popular celebrity hangout.

For added exclusivity, LIQUID Pool Lounge at ARIA provides a secluded and seductive adults-only playground. Only in Las Vegas can a guest pretend to be someone they’re not. Perhaps, they can live like a European for the day at Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay or Bare Pool Lounge at The Mirage by experiencing sophisticated, European-style bathing.
