Pool day passes in Las Vegas
Pool day passes in Las Vegas from $20 to $50 at 7 Strip and Downtown hotels. Wave pools, rooftop access, and a shark-tank pool — book direct.
Las Vegas runs pool complexes unlike anywhere else in the US. The Strip has a Roman garden with seven pools, a 14th-floor rooftop with a wave simulator above the boulevard, and an 11-acre sand beach with a genuine wave pool. Downtown has a shark tank you can swim up to, and a six-pool amphitheater built for watching sport from the water.
Day passes run $20–50 per adult for non-guests. Seven of the city's most distinctive pools sell direct access: five on the Strip, two in Downtown. Most Strip properties charge a flat $20; Mandalay Bay's beach pricing reaches $50 on busy days.
Pool season runs April through October. Strip pools fill on weekends — Circa and Mandalay Bay limit capacity and sell out for major events. Book a few days ahead on Thursdays through Sundays. For all US options, see the USA pool day pass guide.

How much does a pool day pass in Las Vegas cost?
Most Las Vegas pool day passes for non-guests start at $20. Mandalay Bay is the exception, with beach-day pricing of $25–50 reflecting the scale of the complex. The Cosmopolitan doesn't charge a flat entry fee: a daybed or cabana reservation with a food and beverage minimum is the access mechanism instead.
| Hotel | Pass | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Caesars Palace | Garden of the Gods | $20 |
| Planet Hollywood | The Scene | $20 |
| Golden Nugget | Tank & Hideout | $20 |
| Circa Resort | Stadium Swim | from $20 |
| Virgin Hotels | Day Pass | $25 |
| Cosmopolitan | Pool (daybed req.) | F&B min about $100–200 |
| Mandalay Bay | Beach Day Pass | $25–50 |
Cabana and daybed rentals sit separately at $200–500 per day but typically include pool access for the group. Weekend and holiday pricing can be higher at Circa and Mandalay Bay.
What's included in a Las Vegas pool day pass?
All seven passes include lounge chair access and towel service. Mandalay Bay covers the wave pool, lazy river, and sand beach in its flat rate. The Cosmopolitan structures access differently: a reserved daybed or cabana comes with an F&B minimum, so food and drink is effectively the cost of entry rather than a separate line item.
Food and drinks are charged separately at every property unless a daybed F&B minimum applies. Parking at Strip hotels costs $15–30 per day.
Mandalay Bay Beach
Eleven acres of real California sand and a 1.6-million-gallon wave pool at the south end of the Strip put Mandalay Bay Beach in a different category from every other pool day pass in Las Vegas. Non-guests can buy a Beach Day Pass Monday through Thursday for approximately $25–50 per adult; weekends are restricted to cabana and daybed bookings, which include pool access for the group. The pass covers the wave pool, a quarter-mile lazy river (48-inch height minimum), and two lagoon pools; towels are provided at poolside stations. Lockers cost $30 extra. Best for families and anyone after genuine beach infrastructure rather than a pool deck.

Caesars Palace Garden of the Gods
Seven pools arranged across a walled Roman garden at mid-Strip give Caesars Palace Garden of the Gods the largest pool complex of any single property in Las Vegas. Non-hotel guests pay $20 for daily access to the full oasis; Diamond and Seven Stars Rewards members pay $10. The complex spans from the expansive Neptune Pool to the shallower Jupiter Pool suited to families with young children, connected by marble columns and Roman statuary throughout. Cabanas are available to reserve separately. A reliable flat-rate option with enough variety to fill a full day.

Planet Hollywood
The Scene pool at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas is a rooftop setup 25 floors above the Strip with a FlowRider wave simulator, making it the only pool day pass in Las Vegas that includes bodyboarding. Non-guests pay $20 for access. The pool is 21+ and runs DJs on weekends. Best for younger travelers who want Strip views with some activity; the FlowRider is a genuine differentiator at this price point.

Cosmopolitan Las Vegas
The Boulevard Pool on the 14th floor of the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas looks directly down the Strip; the lower Chelsea Pool offers shade and a quieter setting. Non-guests access the pools through a daybed or cabana reservation rather than a standalone admission pass, with a food and beverage minimum typically running about $100–200 depending on the day and season. If you plan to eat and drink poolside, the minimum covers what you'd spend anyway, making the effective cost comparable to other Strip pools. The 21+ Marquee Dayclub operates adjacent to the pools for those who want a livelier setup.

Circa Resort Stadium Swim
Circa Resort's Stadium Swim stacks six pools across three amphitheater levels facing a 143-foot screen in downtown Las Vegas. The 4,000-capacity venue is built for watching live sports from the water: the screen runs 14 million pixels and the pool deck angles toward it like stadium seating. The cover charge starts at $20, but varies by day and event; major game days are higher and the venue books out well in advance for big sporting events. This is the best option in Las Vegas if sport is the reason you're at the pool.

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas
Off the Strip near the Convention Center, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas pairs a resort pool with Kassi Beach Club, a 21+ day venue with sand, DJs, and a coastal Italian restaurant run by the Wish You Were Here Group. Non-guests pay $25 for day pass access. With a proper restaurant, beach-club atmosphere, and resort pool in one footprint, this is the best option for a full-day stay rather than a few hours. Advance booking recommended on weekends.

Golden Nugget Tank Pool
A three-story glass shark tank sits at the center of the pool at the Golden Nugget, where non-guests can swim up to the glass while live sharks drift past on the other side. The $20 non-guest admission covers the pool and lazy river. Note that the water slide and aquarium feature are closed for maintenance during the 2026 pool season; the pool, bars, cabanas, and loungers remain open. The Tank is the most visually distinctive pool in Downtown Las Vegas, and one of the more unusual pool experiences in any city.

Frequently asked questions
Can non-guests use Las Vegas hotel pools?
Most major Las Vegas hotels allow non-guests to access their pools for a day pass or cover charge. The standard rate across Strip hotels is $20. Some restrictions apply: Mandalay Bay limits non-guest day passes to Monday through Thursday; weekends require a cabana or daybed booking. The Cosmopolitan doesn't sell a standalone pass — access requires a reserved seat with an F&B minimum. A few Strip pools (Harrah's, Paris Las Vegas) are open to the public at no charge, though these don't include the same level of amenity as the options listed above.
How do you book a Las Vegas pool day pass?
Book direct through each hotel's website or by phone. Direct booking is typically the same price as third-party platforms and gives you a direct line to the pool desk if plans change. Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, and other Caesars-owned properties use a shared booking platform at caesarspools.uvtix.com. Mandalay Bay pools book via pools.mgmresorts.com. Circa Stadium Swim has a live-pricing calendar showing exact rates by date and event. For same-week access, Virgin Hotels and Golden Nugget both accept walk-ups subject to availability.
Which Las Vegas pool is best for families?
Mandalay Bay Beach is the best Las Vegas pool for families. The 11-acre complex includes a wave pool, quarter-mile lazy river, and two lagoon pools with real California sand — far more infrastructure than any other pool in the city. Weekday access (Monday–Thursday) starts at about $25; the lazy river has a 48-inch height minimum. Caesars Palace Garden of the Gods is the best budget option for families, with shallow pools alongside the larger ones and flat $20 entry.
