Poolside Hotel Rooms & Suites in Las Vegas

After countless steps exploring the Strip, the last thing you need is a long trek to the resort pool.

For those who value convenience, or are "pool people" in general, a handful of hotels offer rooms that open to the pool deck.

They're rare, but I had a blast hunting them down to summarize your options.

On the Strip

Poolside Cabana Room at LINQ: Sitting adjacent to the 21+ Influence Pool, you'll be mere steps from the party, so close, in fact, that you'll not only hear the "UNTZ" from your room, you'll feel it.

The room's outdoor cabana comes with couches, an umbrella, stools, and a TV, plus poolside food and drink service (though it'll be cheaper to stock your room with drinks from CVS/Walgreens).

As poolside room options on the Strip go, LINQ's tend to be the least expensive. Book early, as inventory is limited, and they're a hot commodity.

I stayed in a LINQ Poolside Cabana room and loved the proximity to the pool, but was less than enthused with the room's cleanliness and TV functionality.

Poolside Cabana pricing starts at around $225/nt after fees.

Ultra Hip Patio & Cabana Rooms at Planet Hollywood: Planet Hollywood recently-ish added patios to some of their poolside rooms that open to the pool deck.

Those rooms come in two flavors: The Ultra Hip Patio Room and a slightly larger Ultra Hip Cabana Room.

A perk, the room has an empty fridge to store your patio drinks.

Both are affordable off-peak, starting around $150/nt after fees.

I recently stayed in a Poolside Patio Room, which offers a generous 450 SF. The Cabana Room is slightly larger.

The room isn't fancy, except for the outdoor patio that opens to the pool deck and has some quality furnishings.

Unlike LINQ's version, it doesn't have an outdoor TV, unfortunately.

Mountain Deluxe Cabana Room at Harrah's: Harrah's Mountain Deluxe Cabana Room is small at 300 SF, but has an outdoor cabana space that opens to the pool deck.

The room starts at around $300/nt after fees.

I was impressed with the standard Mountain Deluxe Room for the price, and I can't wait to stay in one of these.

Lanai Suite at The Cosmopolitan: A luxurious, 2-story suite with 800 SF, 9 out of 11 Lanai Suites offer poolside terraces with direct access to Cosmo's Chelsea pool.

A nice perk, all Lanai Suites offer a private outdoor jacuzzi tub on the terrace.

Starting at around $700/nt after fees, the Lanai is one of the more expensive poolside options.

Downtown Las Vegas

Plaza's Poolside Patio Room: Plaza's Pool Patio Room offers guests a shaded outdoor patio with access to the resort's rooftop pool deck overlooking Fremont Street.

In addition to being a great poolside option, this recently refurbished room also offers guests a coffee maker and mini-fridge, a rarity in Las Vegas these days.

Oasis at Gold Spike: Gold Spike's poolside rooms are by far the cheapest (Starting at around $50/nt), yet still feature modern decor and amenities. Although there isn't a casino on-site, establishments that line the Fremont Street Experience are steps away.

Off-Strip Options

Lanai Suites at Westgate: Although not in a touristy area, Westgate is conveniently connected to the Las Vegas Strip via the monorail. Their Lanai Suites are split-level accommodations at 438 square feet, complete with a living area and 2 TVs, one of which is 60 inches.

The star amenity is the private patio that opens to Westgate's pool.

The Lanai starts at around $250/nt after fees.
