The Committed Few: Pools That Stay Open No Matter What
Let's face it, Vegas wasn't built for shivering. Some resorts understand this deep in their pool-chlorinated souls, and keep a minimum of one pool open year-round. Here are some of the champions:
- The High Rollers: The swanky joints like Wynn, Encore, Aria, and Bellagio rarely disappoint. They'll keep a slice of paradise toasty for you, because luxury shouldn't have to hibernate.
- The Surprisingly Dedicated: Resorts like Gold Coast, Red Rock, the Venetian, and even the feisty little Sam's Town often join the party. You might be surprised who keeps the party going!
Remember: Even these resorts might close some of their fancier aquatic features, like lazy rivers or wave pools, during the cooler months.
