Key Points:
- Only 2 Las Vegas resort pools offer a “deep end”, which are Horseshoe and Binion’s.
- Less spectacularly, there are a number of municipal pools that offer a deep end a short drive from the Strip.
A recent observation of mine was that pools in Vegas decades ago commonly had diving boards and, by default, a deep end.
Things have obviously changed, and 90% off pools on the Strip and Fremont Street only reach a depth of about 3.5 feet max. Lame.
There are a couple of pools that have a deep end, however, and the knowledge could win you a bar bet one day.
Horseshoe’s Blu Pool
The only Strip resort pool with a deep end, Horseshoe’s Olympic-sized Blu Pool gets as deep as 12 feet, making it the deepest of all found at Las Vegas hotels.
Horseshoe’s Blu Pool is surrounded by foliage and palm trees giving it a tropical vibe and is also near tennis courts and the sportsbook.
Binion’s Hotel Apache
Offering a fantastic view of downtown, Binion’s pool is perched atop the old Mint hotel tower. Nothing fancy. The pool is a simple rectangle but offers a deep end of 8 feet.
The pool deck at Binion’s catches sun all day and is rarely crowded. Guests staying at both Binion’s and sister property 4 Queens have access to use the pool.
Now that you read this, head over to Buffalo Wild Wings, request a trivia machine, and wait for the opportuinty to show your knowledge off.
Sidenote: Does BWW even do trivia anymore? Man, those were the days.
