Great video! Being born and raised here in Vegas, funny enough I've grown to pick our hotel for our staycations based on the pool area alone 😂 I agree with your choices and you did great visuals of all the pools. One helpful piece of info about these pools to throw in, in the future are the pool hours. Some of the pools close a lot earlier than one would want or imagine would be an appropriate time to close being that it doesn't get dark here till after 8 pm
Thank you so much for posting this video! I'm going to Vegas real soon and I'm staying at Mandalay Bay. One reason for choosing that hotel is the pool! I've never had a dedicated "pool day" when I've been to Vegas in the past, and this time I will lol
Yes Ruby!! Bellagio’s pool is so underrated. Can’t wait, I’ll be there in a few short weeks with a Miami Vice in hand :) Love your picks, spot on as always!
I am visiting Vegas for the first time from London in October and I am so excited. I have been binge-watching your videos since we booked it! Another great video :)
Flamingo is so fun, that’s definitely my favorite! Love the waterfall and the slide and the party vibe, and drinks are really yum. Otherwise, I do love the hot tub area at Venetian but the pool area needed some TLC last time I was there. MGM grand is okay, we just stayed in June, but it was sooo crowded in the lazy river you could barely move and people lined up right before opening to get in, and the tube fill lines were insanely long in blazing sunlight with little to no shade. Glad I tried it out but would definitely prefer it more towards off season when there aren’t as many people 😖
Great Reviews Ms. Ruby. I've stayed and "pooled" at several of these and I agree. My personal favorite, without kids, Is the Caesar's complex. When the teens were with us, it was Golden Nugget .
We really like Park MGM East Pool. 18 and older and quiet, great drink service, good food. I do love the Bellagio pool, but we don't tend to get full comps there and we do at Park MGM. Great options Ruby!
Great list- close to my heart are the Flamingo, and the best party is at TI... when we stayed at Mandalay, it was very hard to find a chair and it was ok but not as fun as TI...
I just got back from a stay at Cosmo. We went to both pools. We got there at 9 in the morning and by 10 or 11 the water was all cloudy. We spent one day at each pool and it happened at both. We tried to tell ourselves it was sunscreen, but I’ve got an eye infection and it is my theory it is from the pool. It would be interesting if you got water samples from each of these pools and see how they do on cleanliness at noon each day. Thanks for your channel.
I would love if you could do a winter pools review! Which pools stay open? Which ones are heated? Which Strip hotel has the best pool experience during the winter? I have a November birthday, so that's likely when I would be able to visit
We love Mirage and Aria. Both have a chill hangout vibe. I'd love to try Bellagio in the near future. I recommend anyone staying at Mandalay or MGM that wants to enjoy the lazy river too throw a cheap inflatable tube in your luggage as tubes are $30-$40 for the same you can buy at your local discount store. Mandalay has a station to fill your own tubes for free and MGM has a station that will fill them for $5. If you do happen to purchase a tube at either resort also know that MGM will refill that tube free of charge.
I've not spent too much time by the pools in Vegas but my favourite is/was definitely Mirage, really relaxing and great sized pool with plenty of drink options and enough shade too.
The only pool I’ve been to on this list is Mandalay Bay and I’m glad it’s at #2. The only con about this pool is the lack of shade. I was burning tf up 😂! The Delano pool is good when you want a break from the crowd.
I stayed at Bellagio and enjoyed the pool. I like your selection of it as No. 1 because it is quiet and relaxing. In the old days, the mom-and-pop motels along the strip had the pool basically in the parking lot and they came with diving boards. Today if you find a hotel resort that has a diving board at the pool, then you have just entered the Twilight Zone.
Bally's actually has a super deep end and it is big and you can actually swim lengths -- hopefully they are cleaning it up but i used to stay there in last 10 years only so i could swim lengths
Whaaaaaaa’ Caesar’s didn’t make the list?! Def one my fav pool(s). The swim up black Jack tables are iconic. The huge center water fountain is so much fun!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 #kkashvegas #caesarslasvegas
Going to Vegas in the early fall (16th time over a 20 year span!) and I really enjoy your updates and tips. Have you ever considered filming a video about the Arts District? I know, maybe a little out of the norm for you but I think it would be super fun to watch.
My honorable mention is the Cromwell pool at night, not for swimming but for ambiance. The palm trees and lighting around the pool are beautiful. I saw a concert there and it was a real wow moment for me. You're outside and you're high enough off the street that the noise isn't bad, but low enough that you can still enjoy the strip lit up at night with icons like the Bellagio and Ceasars across the street.
Come ON!! No mention of the Flamingo!! It was one of the first pools to only allow guests since EVERYONE wanted to be there. Do have to admit, it's small now compared to other pools. Thanks so much
My all-time favorite was the old Hard Rock pool, but it was the 1990s and I was young, lol. I prefer Red Rock's pool. That is my vibe. Mandalay Beach would probably be my second choice.
One of the most surprising pools, or lack of, was at New York NY. The smallest pool ever for a major Casino hotel. Its the size of a standard size Domestic Pool.
Caesars is actually one of the worst pools in Vegas if you aren’t willing to pay for a vip chair or cabana. The fountain pool in the middle is absolutely freezing. One small pool is just for black jack, so this relegates all the non-vip people to the small pool in the corner. The beautiful nice pool in the middle is for cabana and vip chair purchasers only.
Hi Ruby I'm from Australia love both your channels. The very first time I came to Las Vegas I was 12 years old in 1986 my dad drove from Anaheim Ca in the middle of your summer so hot, we stayed at the Golden Nugget hotel all we myself and sister wanted was the pool we got there put our swimmers on and got to the pool and was told sorry CLOSED FOR CLEANING. Back then it was a small pool not like today we were so upset travelled hours in the hot car for no pool. I've been back twice in 2016 and 2019 we always stay at Trump hotel now I love there pool never crowded love it. Thank you for your videos please do one on Trump hotel. 🇦🇺❤
Another well done video . Glad the Golden Nugget made the list it’s iconic . I only stay at the Wynn/ Encore when I go to Vegas. I really enjoy the Encore and Wynn pools but I enjoy seeing the other pools as well #wulffdendad
MGM Grand I would say hands down best for me, but here’s a tip bring your own innertube because the inner tubes there are $25-$30 each.. FYI they charge five dollars to blow them up. Lol.🎉
Mandalay Bay was amazing when it opened, but in my opinion it's not held up very well against newer pool complexes. There are much bigger and better wave pools and lazy rivers at water parks all around the county, and the side pools are quite small and very difficult to move around in if there's even small number of people in them.
While I don't have current plans to jump into a pool when I go, I can say that the Bellagio pool is definitely the top choice. I got the chance to go in the Bellagio pool back in 2021 back when my mom and I went for my birthday weekend. Since we got there in the morning and it was windy that morning, getting to be in the pool with the warm water really hit the spot for me (Mom didn't join me in the pool, but she did join me for a quick lunch).
Great video - was hoping you’d do one on pools! 😀 Planning on using my vegas for a night at a hotel with a decent pool when we visit in May, was thinking MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay but now you’ve thrown Bellagio in the mix 😂 🤔 We stayed at Bellagio this March but was far too cold for the pool!
Caesars not in the Top 10 Im surprised - can you do a tour of the JW Marriott Pool Hotel & Rampart Sportsbook & Casino pls - dont see too many videos and it looks amazing
Hey Ruby, I love your videos! Wondering if you had any thoughts on the cabanas at Cosmopolitan? Looking to possibly stay there first week in September when it could easily be 100 degrees outside, and I figure the more shade the better.
I don't like the pool at Caesars Palace honestly. She actually recently stayed there and logged her disappointing experience there: including apparently making one of their pools exclusive to only some guests despite previously being available to all staying at the resort. Flamingo is really the only Caesars' resort pool I love. I can do without pretty much every other Caesars' resort pool.
I was just at the marquee day club pool party at Cosmo . I straight up refused to get in the pool there, my buddy did and the chemicals stained his shorts.
Ruby, loved this Vlog...but we have a question. Considering everyone drinking around the pools, and the large pool areas, do they have sufficient lifeguards for all the pools? We look forward to each of your new episodes!!
Ok. Love your content. Really like this video. I would rank Golden Nugget a bit higher but for nostalgia reasons. I don't understand how Caesar's did not make the top 10? I really liked Resorts World, but would probably rank Caesar's above them? 😊
Shocked Bellagio was number 1 for you. It’s definitely nice but i find that special flooring outside the pool smells terrible from inside the pool. 😂 maybe im just weird. Agree with the rest of the list!
The Cosmo Blvd pool is my fav pool in Vegas. The view overlooking the strip is amazing. I also love the vibe here, the adult crowd is usually fun and cool, I always meet cool people at the pool. The cosmo staff are also some of the friendliest you will find in Vegas.
Which pool is your favorite in Las Vegas?
Mandalay Bay is my #1 favorite pool in Las Vegas! 😎🩵
Tahati resort
Encore + Wynn ❤❤❤
El mirage pick for me. I love the tropical look with the trees.
Been to Vegas at least 20 times but never been in any of the pools. I am too busy “funding” the casinos by gambling lol. Great review though!

It’s because they want you to go spend in the casinos and restaurants!
Like you, Mirage was my first Vegas experience so that pool instantly floods me with memories! Glad it made the list!

I, too, loved the flamingo, surprised it was not mentioned. Great party scene with live DJ every day.
Great list Ruby! I love the Palazzo pool the most, always quiet, relaxing, good and not loud music plus shade if you want out of the sun. 💴❤️🇨🇦
that is what i want --- a quiet pool -- loved the mirage but they started doing the pounding music
Great list Ruby! I personally love the Mirage pool and also the one at the Flamingo!
Great Reviews Ms. Ruby. I've stayed and "pooled" at several of these and I agree. My personal favorite, without kids, Is the Caesar's complex. When the teens were with us, it was Golden Nugget .

that is what i want to hear -- i want a quiet pool to relax read at no pounding music
For me and my girlfriend our vacations revolve around the pool. Thanks Ruby.
Great list- close to my heart are the Flamingo, and the best party is at TI... when we stayed at Mandalay, it was very hard to find a chair and it was ok but not as fun as TI...
Your videos are so great 👏👏👏 thanks
Great episode! I love pools, so this is very interesting.
Hello from Indiana, I really enjoy your videos keep up the great work guys !!!
I just got back from a stay at Cosmo. We went to both pools. We got there at 9 in the morning and by 10 or 11 the water was all cloudy. We spent one day at each pool and it happened at both.

Thanks Ruby - I needed this to decide my next Vegas stay!
Hey Ruby! Just wanted to mention that i ADORE your outfit in the first shot! You look stunning in it, girl!
I would love if you could do a winter pools review! Which pools stay open? Which ones are heated? Which Strip hotel has the best pool experience during the winter? I have a November birthday, so that's likely when I would be able to visit
I second this! Last time we went was in November and I was so bummed thinking all the pools were completely closed.
THANKS FOR SHARING ALL THESE AMAZING POOLS. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE JOB RUBY👍🏼😁
This was great! Bellagio has a special place in my heart as me and hubby had our wedding dinner there. Thanks for sharing your insights!
We love Mirage and Aria. Both have a chill hangout vibe. I'd love to try Bellagio in the near future. I recommend anyone staying at Mandalay or MGM that wants to enjoy the lazy river too throw a cheap inflatable tube in your luggage as tubes are $30-$40 for the same you can buy at your local discount store. Mandalay has a station to fill your own tubes for free and MGM has a station that will fill them for $5. If you do happen to purchase a tube at either resort also know that MGM will refill that tube free of charge.
I'm bringing my own tube to Mandalay Bay in a few days! That's great to know you can fill them up for free.
@@alexriley2217 Heck ya! It was Sept 2021 that we stayed and the fill station was right by the lazy river
I've not spent too much time by the pools in Vegas but my favourite is/was definitely Mirage, really relaxing and great sized pool with plenty of drink options and enough shade too.
Hoping to visit Circa next summer and watching the European Championships!
Thanks for getting back Rubi! You rock, can’t wIt till you get to a million!!
I just got off the phone with a poolpreventative from Caesars and they said all of their pools are complementary, including the Neptune
The only pool I’ve been to on this list is Mandalay Bay and I’m glad it’s at #2. The only con about this pool is the lack of shade. I was burning tf up 😂! The Delano pool is good when you want a break from the crowd.
Palazzo is our favorite hands down! Love it!
Definitely agree.
Ruby you always rock! Thank you for all the amazing videos you do!
Nice review Ruby. I want a Travel Ruby bracelet!!
I have to say I've won good money at the Wynn poolside tables 😎
Very cool tour. I never knew. Soo fun and always good to see you. 👍🍀😻
When picking a hotel in Las Vegas, the pool is the #1 contributor maybe 2nd to location... it has to be an absolutely awesome one
I stayed at Bellagio and enjoyed the pool. I like your selection of it as No. 1 because it is quiet and relaxing.

@VisualPlugin Congrats, what the fuck does that have to do with this video?
]o ink kk km MGM
Great job as always Ruby and solid list. The Venetian, Aria, and Resorts World are my favorites. Definitely need to try Stadium Swim soon!
Mandalay Bay and Delano pool are our go to pools. They fit our family perfect.❤
I ran into you at the flamingo today! Thanks for being awesome!
thank you. Enjoyed the video. Coming in September this year and believe we will make it a pool vacation.
Whaaaaaaa’ Caesar’s didn’t make the list?! Def one my fav pool(s). The swim up black Jack tables are iconic. The huge center water fountain is so much fun!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 #kkashvegas #caesarslasvegas
Gotta check out my Caesars video
Mirage is my personal favorite 👍👍.
Thx you for doing this! Heading to Las Vegas to see U2 in early Oct. want to swimming pool hop!
👍 v helpful thanks! particularly interested in which pools are open all year (and heated!)
Going to Vegas in the early fall (16th time over a 20 year span!) and I really enjoy your updates and tips. Have you ever considered filming a video about the Arts District? I know, maybe a little out of the norm for you but I think it would be super fun to watch.
I’ve only ever been to the Aria and thought it was incredible. What this list tells me is I should check out others!
My honorable mention is the Cromwell pool at night, not for swimming but for ambiance. The palm trees and lighting around the pool are beautiful.

Come ON!! No mention of the Flamingo!! It was one of the first pools to only allow guests since EVERYONE wanted to be there. Do have to admit, it's small now compared to other pools. Thanks so much
The water is soo cold!!
Like ruby said, water is freezing, and has a sloppy drunk crowd.
Great info for Las Vegas pools and hotels! 🙂
The pools are cool but Team Ruby is even cooler!! Thanks for another fantastic review!!
Great List! Hard to only choose 10
I’m surprised that the flamingo pool is not on here 😮
I would looove a video like this of your favorite casinos to gamble in
My all-time favorite was the old Hard Rock pool, but it was the 1990s and I was young, lol. I prefer Red Rock's pool. That is my vibe. Mandalay Beach would probably be my second choice.
Mirage is the best imo. The water is refreshingly cool and you don't feel like you're standing on top of other people.
One of the most surprising pools, or lack of, was at New York NY. The smallest pool ever for a major Casino hotel. Its the size of a standard size Domestic Pool.
Haven’t been to all pools in Vegas. I only went to Excalibur pool with my kids. I really think it’s a great pool. Kids enjoy it 😊
Great list Ruby, I am surprised Caesars didn't make it though.
Caesars is actually one of the worst pools in Vegas if you aren’t willing to pay for a vip chair or cabana. The fountain pool in the middle is absolutely freezing. One small pool is just for black jack, so this relegates all the non-vip people to the small pool in the corner. The beautiful nice pool in the middle is for cabana and vip chair purchasers only.

Dole Whip is so amazing! 🍍🍹
Bella goo is my favorite pool too. I also like Caesar’s.
Ruby in Lavender at Cosmo pool makes it a great choice
The pool at the Bellagio is sooo cold! It was hot af outside and when you got in the water it was too cold!
Stadium Swim caught me off with how awesome that is.
Was not expecting that lol
Bellagio pool is my fav. My wife and I always rent a cabana when we have our "pool days."
Loved the RW pool.
Great video - was hoping you’d do one on pools! 😀
Planning on using my vegas for a night at a hotel with a decent pool when we visit in May, was thinking MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay but now you’ve thrown Bellagio in the mix 😂 🤔
We stayed at Bellagio this March but was far too cold for the pool!
Never been in the pools when I’ve been there. Will be hitting the strip next month..maybe this will be the time I hit the pool
Don’t forget the Bellagio has a heated pool that stays open all year too!
I was wondering if bellagio or Cesar’s would be number one. So excited, I’ll be at bellagio next month ❤
The MGM lazy river was fantastic. Only complaint was too much chlorine
Great list
I will be staying at the Bellagio in Sept. & look forward to the pool!
Caesars not in the Top 10 Im surprised - can you do a tour of the JW Marriott Pool Hotel & Rampart Sportsbook & Casino pls - dont see too many videos and it looks amazing
I love the amount of palm trees around the Mirage pool. Very sad this won’t be the Mirage anymore
when the wet'n'wild waterpark was on the strip..those were the days..

Hey Ruby, I love your videos! Wondering if you had any thoughts on the cabanas at Cosmopolitan? Looking to possibly stay there first week in September when it could easily be 100 degrees outside, and I figure the more shade the better.
There’s a lot of shade at the cosmo Blvd pool without getting a cabana! Cabanas there are great too tho!
I'm surprised you didn't list pool at Caesars palace
I don't like the pool at Caesars Palace honestly.
She actually recently stayed there and logged her disappointing experience there: including apparently making one of their pools exclusive to only some guests despite previously being available to all staying at the resort.
Flamingo is really the only Caesars' resort pool I love. I can do without pretty much every other Caesars' resort pool.
Good shit Mr./Mrs. Ruby 👍🏼 🔥
I was just at the marquee day club pool party at Cosmo . I straight up refused to get in the pool there, my buddy did and the chemicals stained his shorts.
With my all respect to your opinion but it’s not fair that I don’t see Caesar’s place in your list.
I love you both Ruby and Mr Ruby ❤
Honestly I'm not a pool guy, but this video was very enjoyable and informative to watch.
Mandalay Bay. Fantastic. Going back again soon
I AM GOING TO LAS VEGAS TOMORROW AT 4:00!!!!! FIRST TIME AND I AM GOING TO BE AT THE SWIMMING POOL
Hi Ruby,
What do you think about Cesar’s Palace pool and Circus Circus with the water park?
Ruby, loved this Vlog...but we have a question. Considering everyone drinking around the pools, and the large pool areas, do they have sufficient lifeguards for all the pools? We look forward to each of your new episodes!!
Lifeguards galore!
I do feel Caesars pool complex is pretty amazing.
Ok. Love your content. Really like this video. I would rank Golden Nugget a bit higher but for nostalgia reasons. I don't understand how Caesar's did not make the top 10? I really liked Resorts World, but would probably rank Caesar's above them? 😊
Great video
Some great pics here.
The virgin hotel also has that floor that doesn't burn your feet. But my favorite is still the flamingo pool.
Shocked Bellagio was number 1 for you. It’s definitely nice but i find that special flooring outside the pool smells terrible from inside the pool. 😂 maybe im just weird. Agree with the rest of the list!
@travelruby what about Flamingo Pool. We love it there plus Flamingo got great prices for hotel rates always. Honorable mention at least ha
Yay another video 🎉
The Cosmo Blvd pool is my fav pool in Vegas. The view overlooking the strip is amazing. I also love the vibe here, the adult crowd is usually fun and cool, I always meet cool people at the pool. The cosmo staff are also some of the friendliest you will find in Vegas.
