Are you able to use a Las Vegas pool even if you aren’t staying at the resort?
It depends. Typically, the answer is no and a room key is needed to gain access to the pool complex. There are exceptions, however, both for visitors staying off property and locals.
We break down which pools you are able to access (for free or for a fee) even if you aren’t staying at the property in 2019.
Rules around pool access can change suddenly. We always recommend calling the hotel front desk to confirm their policy before making the trip!
