Free to walk in
Caesars Entertainment’s central Strip resorts are the easy option. Caesars Palace, Paris, Horseshoe, Harrah’s and Planet Hollywood let the public use their pools without charge, although seating fills up on busy days and reserved spots cost extra.
Several pools are free but limited to adults: the Flamingo’s GO Pool, the Vanderpump Hotel, Palms and Topgolf Hideaway are free for anyone 21 and over. Sahara is also free for 21 and over, with a cover charge on select days.
Sources disagree on whether the LINQ’s rooftop pool admits non-guests, so check with the hotel before you plan around it.

Weekday prices sit at the bottom of each range and weekends and holidays at the top. Red Rock and Durango, for example, charge $30 on weekdays, $40 at weekends and $50 on holidays.
The biggest pool complexes are the most expensive to get into, but they are also the most to get in for: Mandalay Bay has a wave pool, lazy river and sand beach, and MGM Grand’s complex covers six and a half acres with four pools.
Rent a seat to get in
Some resorts do not sell a simple day pass but will let non-guests in with a reservation. At Bellagio, non-guests can buy reserved seating, with daybeds from $100 and cabanas from $200. Park MGM works the same way, through paid reserved seating.
For a group, this can cost less per head than it sounds. Cabanas, daybeds and bungalows compares the prices.
Hotel guests only
The quietest and most exclusive pools are closed to non-guests. Aria’s main pools are for Aria guests, although its adults-only dayclub, Liquid Pool Lounge, sells entry to anyone 21 and over. WET Deck at W Las Vegas turns non-guests away even with a reservation, and New York-New York and The Signature at MGM Grand are for their own guests. Wynn and Encore do not sell general day passes.
Locals, loyalty and dayclubs
- Palms offered Las Vegas residents free cabanas in 2026, every day through April and Sunday to Friday from May.
- Rio opens its pool to Rio Rewards members.
- Kassi Beach Club at Virgin Hotels has complimentary general admission.
- Dayclubs such as Encore Beach Club, Marquee Dayclub and Tao Beach sell entry to anyone 21 and over, so they are always an option for non-guests on the Strip.
