Every hotel on the Strip and Downtown has a pool. Usually admission is free if you have a room key, otherwise admission varies from $10 and up depending on how busy the hotel is, time of year, any holidays, or special events. There may be occasions when a particular pool is filled to capacity, or when non-guests of the hotel will not be admitted, so call before heading down.
