Jackpot Journal Insider: Top Vegas Pool Tips and Secrets for Summer 2025
As the desert heat cranks up in Las Vegas, the pool scene becomes the main event. Whether you're chasing the wildest dayclub party or a more chill poolside vibe, we’ve gathered the best places to dive in, plus insider tips straight from Vegas regulars to help you beat the heat like a pro.
Top Pools to Hit This Summer
Encore Beach Club at Wynn – If you want the full VIP dayclub experience, this is the place. World-famous DJs, luxury cabanas, and high-energy vibes make it the gold standard. Insider tip: book a daybed online in advance to avoid surge pricing and massive wait times.
Stadium Swim at Circa – This rooftop pool in Downtown Las Vegas is a game-changer. With a 143-foot screen playing sports and events, it’s perfect for partygoers who also want to keep tabs on the game. Get there early to claim a free lounger, or split a cabana with friends for a VIP experience without the VIP price.
Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan – Known for its pool parties and trendy crowd, Marquee is always a vibe. Guests staying at The Cosmo often get discounted or priority access, so it pays to stay on property.
Flamingo GO Pool – Recently refreshed and more vibrant than ever, the Flamingo's GO Pool offers a fun, classic Vegas atmosphere with DJs, live entertainment, and plenty of tropical drinks. Tip: hotel guests can enter for free, and early birds (before noon) often score the best spots without renting a lounger.
The Garden at Resorts World – A lesser-known gem, this pool is perfect for those who want to escape the madness of the mega dayclubs. It offers more space, better relaxation, and occasional DJ sets in a more laid-back atmosphere.
Sunblock is a Weapon
Don’t get burned—literally or financially. Buying sunscreen at the pool can cost up to four times the normal price, with small bottles going for $25 or more. To save your skin and your cash, pick up sunscreen at a pharmacy off the Strip or pack it before your trip. TSA allows containers up to 3.4 ounces (100ml) in carry-on bags, as long as they fit in a quart-sized ziplock. Travel-size sunscreen is essential and can make a big difference during long pool days under the Vegas sun.
Pro Tips from Vegas Vets
Arrive early – The best chairs and loungers go fast. Aim to be poolside by 10:30 a.m.
Use promoter guest lists – Look on social media or ask your hotel concierge. Many pools offer free or discounted entry, especially for women or early arrivals.
Hydrate smart – Water bottles are pricey at the pool. Bring electrolyte packs and ask for cups of ice water at the bar instead.
Cover up when needed – A light shirt or wrap and a hat can save you from that brutal midday sun.
This summer, Las Vegas pools are where memories are made, drinks are flowing, and sunscreen is survival. Plan ahead, pick your pool wisely, and dive into the coolest experiences Sin City has to offer.
Top Gun Las Vegas Set to Soar onto the Strip in 2028
Getting buzzed the Strip has a new meaning. A high-flying new attraction, Top Gun Las Vegas, is officially cleared for takeoff in 2028 and will be landing near The STRAT Hotel & Casino. This adrenaline-pumping experience is aiming to put thrill-seekers right in the cockpit. Guests can expect state-of-the-art fighter jet simulators, immersive missions, and a reimagined version of the iconic Hard Deck bar from Top Gun: Maverick, complete with live piano singalongs. It’s not just a ride. It’s a full-throttle experience.
Brought to life by Advent Allen Entertainment in partnership with Paramount Global, this project comes from the same visionary behind the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. Mark Advent says the attraction will celebrate themes of speed, excellence, and camaraderie. Considering the original Top Gun launched Tom Cruise's career and its sequel grossed nearly $1.5 billion worldwide, this attraction is aiming sky-high. Vegas may be known for its neon lights, but in 2028, it’s the jet engines you’ll hear screaming down the Strip.
