When you think of Las Vegas, sun-drenched pool scenes are one of the first things that come to mind.
While the summer pool season is lively, many visitors don’t realize that the weather in Vegas can get downright frigid during the winter, and many resorts shut their pools down in mid to late October until March.
I figured it would be helpful to detail which resorts keep their pools (or part of it) open throughout the winter.
A couple of quick notes:
- This post has now been updated for the upcoming winter (2025/2026).
- Check with the property before you venture to the pool deck. Even if the pool is open during the winter, many will close due to high winds or unseasonably cold temperatures. Additionally, many pools still close for a week or so for maintenance during the off-season.
- Confirm your pool’s hours of operation, as they’ll likely be scaled back.
Strip Pools Open Year Round
Bellagio: A portion, but not all, of Bellagio’s pool complex stays open and heated throughout the winter.

MGM Grand: The main pool at MGM Grand will stay open throughout the winter. The lazy river shuts down in November, however.

Aria: The foliage-rich pool deck at Aria remains open for business in the winter with water heated to 80 degrees. Vdara guests are able to use Aria’s pool as well.

Park MGM: At least one pool at Park MGM, typically their South Pool (pictured below), is open and heated to 80 degrees during the winter.

Mandalay Bay: While most of Mandalay Bay’s pool complex closes during the winter, they keep at least one heated pool open for guest use.
Unfortunately, the wave pool and lazy river close.

Palazzo/Venetian: Both The Venetian and Palazzo’s connected rooftop pool decks remain open all winter.

Wynn/Encore: At least one of Wynn & Encore’s pool complexes will be open throughout the winter.

Resorts World: While the majority of Resorts World’s pool deck closes for the season, they keep their Bimini Pool open year-round.

Casino Royale: While lacking size and wow-factor, Casino Royale keeps their pool open year-round (weather permitting).

Fontainebleau: Although an ice rink is constructed on the pool deck annually, Fontainebleau will leave a small portion of their pool open.

Cosmopolitan: Cosmo’s Chelsea Pool (on the south end of the property) stays open throughout the winter for guests and is heated to around 80 degrees.

Downtown Las Vegas Pools
Plaza: Plaza’s unique rooftop pool is open year round and offers a great view of D*Face’s “Behind Closed Doors” mural. Both a heated pool and hot tub will be available to guests.

Circa: Boasting 6 swimming pools, 2 swim-up bars, and poolside gaming, Circa’s Stadium Swim easily qualifies as the best pool on Fremont Street. Adding to the allure is the 143-foot screen that’s always tuned to the big game.
The pools are heated, and you can actually view the up-to-the-minute water temperature, here.

Downtown Grand: DTG’s Citrus Grand Pool Deck will stay open through February this winter, although there are no food and beverage offerings.

Off-Strip Pools
Red Rock: The Sandbar Pool complex at Red Rock is open and heated to a balmy 78 degrees all winter long. After November 6th, the pool is open from 10 am – 4 pm daily.

Green Valley Ranch: GVR keeps its small Pond Pool open throughout the winter. No hot tub options will be open, however.

South Point: Although the pool is open year-round, they typically stop heating it in October. It’ll be uncomfortable, but if you don’t mind a frigid dip, the pool at South Point is an option.

Trump International: Heated to 82 degrees, the pool at Trump stays open during the winter.
Hopefully, we were able to help you find a pool if you are crazy enough to take a dip in the months of October, November, December, January, or February. Enjoy your swim – We’ll meet you at the bar.

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.

I'm planning to visit MGM grand Oct 20~22. Can I use a lazy river at this season?

@HC, Depends on if the pool is shut down for the season or not. If it is shut down, then the lazy river is closed and they only keep a small portion of the pool complex open.

@Andrea Chamberlain, check out the pools listed above, as they usually stay open all winter.
It’s not updated for this upcoming winter yet, so there could be changes.
