I had a free day after a girls weekend, and while it was fun, I needed a day ti decompress. It didn't help that my flight got canceled so I was wound up. This was the best place to wind down! It's smaller than other Vegas pools but it meant it was quieter and peaceful. But who really made my experience? JORDAN! She was such an angel. I'd go back just to see her. Many times poolside cocktails can be overly sweet. She helped me navigate the menu to find what I liked. And then even made some recommendations on which ones are right up my alley but needed to be lighter on the sugar. I had reserved a cabana until 1p and requested a slight extension. She was able to work with her boss to negotiate a very reasonable extension deal. I manage at a bar, and would hire her in a heartbeat. She killed me with kindness and hospitality. Vdara, you've got a good one there. I had a nice time during my stay but I'd recommend this hotel and pool to anyone due to her service. Hopefully the rest of the team is just like her! I've found my new go-to spot. Thanks for everything Jordan! read more

Been here numerous times back to back with friends and family. Never have we have had a bad experience. Great service and drinks provided at the bar when we when order directly with the bartender Kenneth, such an incredible host. The pool at Vdara is a bit more mellow and laid back compared to others, but that is what we are looking for. First come first serve when it comes to seating, yet have have never had an issue finding an appropriate seat and umbrella. Make sure to try the infamous Dole. Thank you, Kenneth! read more

Vdara Pool & Cabanas - Pina Colada's and The Dole - Bartender Kenneth - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We had Cabana P, which was more private than some of the others. It was tucked in the corner and was the last in the row. Not too far from the restrooms. Service staff members were attentive. Prices are high but are normal pool prices. There is a nice small pool that is shared with a few other cabanas. I think only one other cabana had people in it, so it wasn't crowded. There were soft drinks and waters in the mini-fridge. TV worked, ceiling fan was on but not providing much relief from the desert heat, curtains were clean and functional. They had extra towels in the cabana. Fruit tray was a decent amount of fruit and everything tasted fresh. I recommend asking for a bucket of ice because the aluminum can of beer I was given did not feel cold. Again, desert heat so what can you do? I never went over to the main pool so cannot comment. It looked pretty crowded when I walked by. I would go back. read more

The pool at Vdara is small but has a nice chill vibe for those not into the party scene. All of the seats have umbrellas which is a huge plus as not all Vegas pools provide that. We ordered lunch and diet cokes both days from our wonderful server Jordyn. She's so friendly, efficient & understands the importance of a crisp Diet Coke on a hot day! She's the best! read more

I really enjoyed my time relaxing at the pool here. Same goes as my husband. It was very peaceful, and was really happy that the server came around giving out complementary Mlife bottles of water. Really needed that, especially in this Las Vegas heat! I loved that there were these round chairs that were free to anyone to sit around come and chill. At first, I thought it was for a reservation only. I would definitely come back to this pool. One of my faves so far. read more

I rented a large Poolside Cabana last week for a business/friends event. The service was amazing. Our Cabana Hosts, Vanessa and Chelsea, really made the day great. It turns out, it was their opening day. The Vdara pools are classy and beautiful. The music is chill and not loud, so my group could have conversations and relax. The drinks and food was good too. My guests loved everything and want to come back. I couldn't get the online booking to work, likely since I booked it before the pools were open for the season, so I booked our Cabana by calling the MGM Rewards Resorts Booking phone number that put my through to the Vdara hotel's concierge. read more

Renting a cabana at the Vdara is always the highlight of our stay. Comfort is a top priority and the servers are absolutely the best of the best. They are attentive, fun, smart and anticipated our every need. We can't wait to come back. read more

Loved this place, from the employees to the room it was perfect. Short walk to the Aria casino or the Bellagio. They have a cafe downstairs plus a Starbucks. Room was clean and housekeeping was always on top in changing out our towels. We rented a cabana and it was a perfect experience, waitresses were constantly asking if everything was ok or if we needed any drinks. read more

Reserved a daybed at the Vdara pool this last Saturday, and had a fre at time! When we arrived, we were promptly greeted, signed our 21 and over waiver (just proving that we're old enough to drink at the daybed), and escorted to our reserved spot. Our daybed was comfy, and situated just at the waters edge. Daybeds at the Vdara come with complimentary fruit platters, and ice waters that are constantly replenished throughout the day. They also come with an umbrella that you can keep up or down depending on your presence. Service was great! We never had to track down a server, and drinks always came out quick. My only advice on the drinks, is to get what you know, and don't try any of the specialty drinks, they're gross. I had margaritas that were delish, but the first drink my husband ordered (we thought it was like a mai'tai) was gross. Didn't taste anything like the description, and looked like sewer water. Very unappealing. He stuck to jack and coke for the rest of the day. On a side note, the food is tasty. The hotel had a Memorial Day barbecue that served hamburgers and hotdogs with chips. The atmosphere at the Vdara pool is more on the chill side. Music is playing in the background, but it was coming from the pool complex next door at Aria. It's not loud, but it's definitely loud enough to enjoy and still have conversations. read more

Nice chill pool at our usual stay in Las Vegas inside Vdara. They play music but its not being blasted so it's not a party pool atmosphere at all. I like that... It's small enough where it doesnt pack in too many people and its big enough for everyone to find their own space. We were in town on a 100+ degree weekend and decided to hit the pool before noon. We had no problem finding lounge chairs with an umbrella. You're gonna need the umbrellas because it will be a bright sun shining down on you and reflecting off the buildings such as Vdara & Aria within the City Center. Service was friendly. There are cocktail waitresses that will help you with drink orders and appetizers. There are pool valets that can get you anything else like more towels or help set you up on a day bed or in one of their cabanas. The pool is only 4 feet deep but there is a lifeguard on duty. And as required by law, there is a chair lift for the pool. Great place to relax at Vdara. It's a nice change of pace from the usual Vegas craziness. I would definitely check it out whenever staying at the hotel... Located on the 3rd level. read more

The cabana was the perfect Friday afternoon activity, away from the public and keeping us safe! We reserved a cabana online, and went early to get first dibs on selection. We chose the cabanas away from the public pool. There was a private pool just for us. It was perfect! Our server was also attentive, accommodating, and absolutely lovely! I wish I had got her name to recommend her! She was the best! Their cucumber drink has no sugar and was super refreshing in the heat! Lastly, the bang bang noodle salad was HELLA delicious!!! I'd totally order that anywhere! Will definitely do this again on our next trip to vegas! read more

We have never rented any pool loungers, daybeds or cabanas before, however there was a convention in town and we wanted to ensure we had some shade to retreat from the pounding sun rays. I did my research and decided this pool would be our best option. We paid $75 for the canopy daybed rental and couldn't have been happier with our decision. We arrived around 9 am and were greeted by a security guard at the entrance, who directed us to the check-in counter. The female employees there were very friendly and explained the process. I singed some waivers and we were escorted to the daybeds. We were given a choice of one near the pool, of one in a more secluded area. We chose the latter. We're not swimmers, so this is the reason we opted for the private area. The attendant explained to us that we had the rental for the entire day and that we could come and go as we please. She said if we stop back and someone is lounging on our rental, to simply let a staff member know and they would remove them promptly. We wanted to grab breakfast before we lounged and she let our server for the day know that we'd be back up in an hour or two. When we came back up, we met our server, Alicia. She was great! She stopped by roughly every 20 minutes or so to see if we needed and drinks or food. She kept us hydrated with a pitcher of ice water, refilled four times. We couldn't have asked for a better pool/lounge day! read more

Nice pool area, great customer service! Attentive to your pool needs. The cabanas are great to unwind and relax, make new friends, drink if you want, shoot the breeze and listen to the pool music or bring your own small speaker to listen to your own music. You can also watch tv. The very hot weather, esp., during the summer is out of our control, can't do anything about that, except, you guessed it, dip in the pool! I hope you enjoy your stay read more

Vdara Pool & Cabanas - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This was the only part of the Vdara that I wasn't impressed with. Located on the 3rd floor of the hotel, it is only open until 7 pm which really is disappointing. That being said, we came here around 4 or 5 to swim and have a late lunch. My purse was searched upon arrival ( for glass bottles I was told ) After that we got our towels and was told to pick chairs ( white was complimentary, blue was paid areas ) It was pretty packed, but we did manage to find a few chaise lounge chairs together. The waitress was snotty and when we asked about menus she snapped that the kitchen was closed. We were not offered drinks. The pool itself is not very large, and I could only see one ( compared to the Venetian where there are many different pools to chose from ) My husband went for a quick swim, but it was crowded so it didn't last long. Shortly after that we left. read more

This pool gets surprisingly packed. It's on the smaller side and so is the lounge area compared to other hotels. The pool water is always warm and heavily chlorinated because I could smell myself for hours after I showered. We were tempted to rent a few chairs or a cabana, but since we went during the weekday, we decided to chance it and were able to get chairs on our own without paying. It is fairly reasonable to pay for a day bed, but as demand goes up - so do the prices (kinda like when you buy airplane tickets - the higher the demand the higher you will pay for your ticket). The service here is great, and the employees provide you with towels and complimentary ice water. We ordered nachos, chicken salad, and drinks. The nachos barely had any chicken in them which was a bummer. The salad was the refreshing and very appropriate for the scorching hot weather in the summer time. The pool closes at 6pm and is located on the 3rd floor I believe. Have fun! read more

Staying at Vdara for a couple days gave us a good chance to use the pool a couple times. We considered getting a cabana or day bed the first day, but had no problem finding pool chairs under one of the many umbrellas. Unless you are a large group, you probably don't need a cabana here. The day beds weren't much different than the chairs except softer. Pool service was fantastic. Towels and tap water are available for free, but you can also order drinks and food to be brought to you. It was impressive how the waitresses found people for their drinks even when they were in the pool. We tried a Build-Your-Own-Burger with Blue Cheese & Bacon and an order of the Chicken Tenders. Both come with Fries or Onion Rings, so, we got one of each. The Onion Rings were the better of the two sides, however, the fries were a-ok. The Chicken Tenders were thick & huge thanks to a heavy bread exterior that totally overwhelmed the white meat inside. Thanks to a side of Ranch Dressing, the chicken strips were edible. The burger was pretty standard except for the better than expected Blue Cheese which helped offset a slightly dry Beef patty. For drinks, we stuck to beers to match the chill out atmosphere. The crowd at the Vdara Pool was older than many pools in Vegas which is probably a reflection of the quieter crowd at the hotel. People were friendly, but this was a good pool to simply escape the casino chaos of Vegas for a few hours. read more

Vdara Pool & Cabanas - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Customers of the Vdara are charged a daily fee of $25 (which is absurd) to use the pool, gym and get 2 tiny bottles of water. We could see the pool from our room so it was convenient to know when it was packed and when it wasn't. We went several times during our stay. HOT, hot, hot! Though we didn't quite experience this "Vdara Death Ray" phenomenal, it was dang hot and windy. The pool is about 4' deep all around, not very big. The both times we went, we never felt crowded or cramp. There are plenty of lounge chairs to grab and thankfully, they have umbrellas too. It is hard to find a seat sometimes right near the umbrella since people are perched out since early morning reading or just relaxing. But if you wait and look hard enough, a shaded seat will turn up. We never got food while out at the pool, mostly because it looked expensive so I can't really comment on that. The pool was refreshing though on the Saturday we were there, it was probably around 105-110 degrees and the pool water felt more like 85 degrees. It was very warm. Very. But nonetheless, it was refreshing to cool down in the water. Splash around. Mostly young adults, hardly any kids. They also have a shower off station and a drinking fountain. Oh and of course, towels are free. It was no Bellagio or Caesar's pool, but it did the job for our weekend getaway. read more

Small pool that was incredibly windy. At first the staff was very helpful in locating a place for my friend and me to relax. We even got lucky and scored the cushy lounge chair beds. Unfortunately, things went downhill with the food. We ordered salmon sliders, nachos and a fruit cup with berry lemonade and a coke. The 2 sliders were way too fishy tasting (normally I love salmon) and the onion rings that came with them were pretty greasy. We only ate 1 slider... couldn't stomach the 2nd. The fruit cup was way too small for the price and was mostly filled with cheap melon. The nachos were good... a little spicy and big enough to share. Our bill... $50. Plus tip... $60. Not kidding. Immediately, I realized the lemonade was way too sweet for me so I ask for some water to dilute it a little. It never showed up. Finally, we took it to the bar ourselves and exchanged it for a coke. I guess our waitress had her $10 tip already so she didn't stop by again. The wind also blew us away... almost literally. It knocked the umbrellas over and the staff had to run around and put them all down. I won't be staying at the Vdara again after such a junky pool experience. There are too many other options in Vegas! Won't see ya there! read more

Pool is alright but there are a few cons, since it's a family pool you have to deal with people's kids splashing around and being obnoxious. Also if you come when the sun is out you will get fried because the sun is reflecting off the surrounding glass buildings making it insanely hot. No one tends to your drink order unless your in one of the few cabanas (maybe this is just a Vegas thing but at other resorts thats never happened to me.). I suppose the one pro is that you don't get stuffed into the pool like sardines the way you would at some of the more popular pools, and you can sit in whatever chair you like for free. Good way to relax and recharge in between those crazy Vegas nights :) read more

Great pool! It's not very big, and it's not super crowded. There was enough lounge chairs for everybody (and it was peak of the season), they gave out free, clean towels at the entrance and the water temperature was perfect for cooling a bit after lying in the sun. The service was very attentive and the drinks extra refreshing. They probably add more ice than usually, but it just works. You can order some food there, but you can also bring your own food and drinks to the pool. Also you can buy pretty much everything needed for sunbathing in the small stand nearby. The music in the background is quiet enough that you can read a book or relax in peace. One big con - pool closes very early, at 7 pm. read more

Vdara Pool & Cabanas - View from the pool - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Love this pool! It is a medium size pool and quite small compared to other resorts. Other resorts might have 3-7 pools! But Vdara is more of a hotel and spa therefore doesn't offer much amenities as a huge resort. The pool to me is decent and great. Every time I have stayed at Vdara, I always buy the pool package. Either $25 to reserve a lounger or $100 to reserve a day bed right infront of the pool! Pool service could be more attentive. Family Friendly fun! :) read more

I think that are some crazy pool standards these days and please understand, this is a hotel that has no built in casino or shopping plaza and includes a kitchenette and has just one Starbucks that I know of. So the pool is gonna be low key! If that's not for you, you're probably not gonna have a great time here. My demo is family of 4 comprised of 2 adults + 2 kids. I feel like they built this pool for me. It's on the small size and there's really only one decent size pool. They have a shallow pool and a hot tub right next to the main stage. All the poolside amenities you would expect are available, such as guaranteed seats, cabanas, poolside food and drinks and the sun! I'm at the pool to keep an eye on my kids and trade off awake time with my wife. I don't need blackjack in my pool and jello in my shots. I'm old fashion. I'll get waisted by drinking 2 beers and staying outside by the pool while dehydrating and forgetting to drink water! I can do that at this pool and then go upstairs to my room and watch the Cavs Vs Boston while dozing off here and there. Thank you for letting me do that Vdara Hotel, Vdara Pool & Lounge and helpful Vdara staff. read more

Spring Break - can't remember the year... but this was when it felt like hardly anyone was staying at the Vdara. I loved it b/c the pool was not crowded w/ people everywhere. The pool is beautiful & the service was great. I felt like I was sunbathing in my own backyard, drinking & listening to okay music. Since I had a view of the pool from the room, it gave me the heads up if it was crowded or not. VERY RELAXING & felt PRIVATE since there was less than what seemed like 10-20 guests spread out. read more

Bachelor party in Vegas?! Sounds fantastic except when you're outside mid-day in mid-July. A few of us didn't feel like going in the water so we sat at the bar throwing back some cold ones. The bar is on the small side(roughly 5 bar stools) and the brew selection on tap was limited. Think Shock Top, Blue Moon, and some light beers. As my buddy and I were catching up we were literally dripping with sweat drinking while drinking our cold brews. The pool area wasn't particularly large and I didn't notice many shaded safe havens. Not one element particularly stood out for this hotel pool but nothing was a thorn in my side either except the desert heat in mid-summer. read more

Arrived and room not ready, needed to accomplish work, wanted to be in the warmth and sun with something to drink. Small backpack/rolling luggage not welcome. My work is in it; can't check it. I asked if they could search the bag for glass and weapons - no. I asked if this was an inflexible rule for the sake of - yes. Inflexibility without rationale is unaccommodating, poor business, and in my experience uncommon - it's a pool lounge, not grade school. I don't appreciate being told no "because I said so", effectively. read more

We spent about a day and a half at the Vdara pool. For our "pool day" we rented an Escape Cabana. Pricing varies based on month and day of the week so I can't estimate what it might be for you but on a weekday in May ours was about $150 for the day. The cabana rental came with four waters (regular or coconut) and a fruit plate. You do have to ask for the server to bring your fruit plate when you're ready to eat it. The Escape Cabanas have a "private" plunge pool that is shared between the cabana guests. There are about 5 cabanas in each area so if each one had the max number of guests you're talking about 20 people sharing a private pool. Luckily, our cabana neighbors weren't using the pool too much and it seemed like most only had two people. Who you are sharing the cabana area with will most definitely affect your experience and unfortunately there's not much you can do about it...just keep that in mind. We came at the earliest possible check-in time and still had to wait 10-15 minutes until they would let us into our cabana. Once we were settled in, I was very bothered by the super hokie elevator music coming from several nearby speakers. The music was seriously awful and I knew it would ruin my cabana experience so I ran over to see if they could turn off the speakers around us. Fortunately, the cabana attendant was super understanding and spent a good amount of time switching speakers on and off until the ones surrounding us were off. This really made all the difference. On a different day we spent some time at the main pool with the common folk and it was fine--nothing great or terrible about it. If you're going to spend a full 8 hours at the pool I highly recommend splurging for the escape cabana, particularly if you can split the cost with friends. read more

So nice - refreshing - staff was amazing - kid friendly - simple awesome!! Such a great way to cool off and the weather was perfect!

Probably one of the smallest pools on the strip, lacking any type of ambiance. The third story location is not only surrounded by a parking garage and other high rise buildings, but lacks any type of shade (aside from the umbrellas). Pool open at 8, by 9 it is already fairly crowded. However, the staff is quite attentive and will even guide you to a pool chaise. For those unlucky enough not to have a spot, pool chairs can be rented for $15 during the week, $25 on weekends. Daybeds are $75 and come with an alcoholic pitcher of your choice. The way to go at this pool is really the tranquility cabanas. Weekdays its $125, weekends $225 for privacy, your own little pool away from the rest, refrigerator stocked with smart water and a few snacks, dedicated servers, mister and overhead fan, couch and tv, and lounge chairs. There is even a bit of landscaping here, including a tree (hahah) which are sadly missing from the rest of the pool complex. The food is quite decent, the drinks on the kitschier sweeter side and not worth spending the money on. The music is pop and dance music that seems to be on an enternal loop. If you are here for more than a couple days in a row, this will drive you crazy. Overall, not a great destination for a pool vacation - the strip has so many more amazing pools to choose from. read more

This is a pool. Not a club. Not a party. Which is a plus in my book when you just want to escape from everything. Plenty of chairs, hella umbrellas, and the pool is warm. BIG UPS TO THE BLACKBERRY MOJITO DRINK. Freaking derricious. read more

Horrible service from the time we walked in couldn't even beg to buy a drink or get service. Bring your own drinks and if you have a cabana you get at least served.

Poor service indeed‍‍ read more

Aweful service...as in a waitress every 90 minutes who acted shocked that we'd melted into the couches. At a period during our wait, I went up to the bar, and was told that i had to wait. At the end of the night when i had to go to the bar to get my tab (cocktail waitress still MIA) and asked for 2 glasses of soda water. I was charged $9.50 for said soda water. Brutal. Great place to avoid casinos...but to be avoided all the same. Bt the way, when i complained to the manager behind the bar, he snickered. He knows how piss poor this place is. Welcome to one-star ville. read more

First the bad: * The first day we were there the hot tub was more like a tepid tub. There was no heat in it at all. The pool was warmer than it. * We smuggled in some contraband beverages to avoid paying for the overpriced and watered down drinks at the pool bar. The bartender was so extremely slow in getting drinks, you would have thought the bar was packed instead of having only 2-3 people at it. * Due to the placement of the pool and the surrounding buildings with mirrored glass exteriors, you could definitely feel some intense heat coming from the sun. Fortunately for us, we were there for Halloween so the summer heat was not there to scorch our flesh. * The pool shut down at 5pm!! What kind of Vegas hotel are you??? The good: * There was a lot of seating and places to congregate with family and friends while sipping on the cocktails. * The towels were quite luxurious and absorbent. * The hot tub was fixed by the second day and it was great in helping to nurse the massive hangover I had somehow acquired the night/early morning before. read more
