We rented a cabana at Bel-Aire Backyard on Durango and were extremely disappointed with our experience. The customer service throughout our visit was poor from start to finish. Our waitress was unhelpful, inattentive, and often came across as rude when we asked questions or needed assistance. When our food was delivered, we politely asked for napkins and were met with an unfriendly attitude, as though we were inconveniencing the staff with a simple request. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of attentiveness. No one checked on us during our visit, asked if we needed anything, or made any effort to provide the level of service you would expect when renting a cabana. We were also concerned by what we observed at the pool. The lifeguards appeared more focused on chatting with one another over their walkie-talkies than actively watching the swimmers. While we understand there may be communication requirements, it did not inspire confidence that the pool was being closely monitored. Overall, the lack of customer service and attention to guests made for a disappointing experience. We expected much better and hope management takes these concerns seriously. read more

Bel-Aire Backyard - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Bel Air is hands down my favorite spot in Vegas! I spend almost all my days off there, about three to four times a week, because it's that good. The food is consistently delicious, and the vibe strikes a perfect balance, relaxing yet lively, whether it's busy or calm. I love that families and kids are welcome too, so it feels like a true community hub, especially being off-strip, away from the usual chaos. Plus, the servers are always kind and welcoming, adding to that experience. And to top it off, the prices are really fair. You get quality without breaking the bank. It's a gem I keep coming back to! Food favorites: Açai bowl, Mediterranean chicken, poke bowl, Seabass lettuce wraps, Belaire burger, fruit platter, sorbet trio read more

I came here to enjoy the pool, but the food turned out to be amazing. Service is super friendly- both our waitress and our food runner! The ambiance is so nice and I enjoyed delicious cuisine while sunbathing. We got two different sushi rolls-both super fresh, fish tacos- grilled fish, so flavorful, and chicken tenders- giant portion and came with fries! I definitely recommend stopping by this summer! read more

Bel-Aire Backyard - Sushi - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I LOVE the pool here, it is such a nice getaway for locals. The food is a hit or miss (pass on the tenders). We have rented cabanas and I recall the sushi being delicious!!! The drinks are also tasty but the price on the menu is different than what they charge you sometimes. I was told menu has not been updated and they couldn't make an adjustment because "the system said otherwise". I feel like if you get there early enough you can score a good lounge chair, otherwise splurging for a cabana with a group seems affordable! read more

Last Friday was my first cabana experience at Bel-Aire Backyard. I went with 2 friends and definitely received 5-star service! Our cabana was amazing (just wished there were more than 2 mini bottles of water in the fridge!). Our servers, Bri, Jenna and the other 2 young men (forgot their names) were very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there. The pool was clean and the water temperature was perfect. The restroom and shower areas were also very well-maintained. We ordered the chicken tenders and lobster roll, which both came with fries. Everything was tasty, especially the lobster roll (more like half of a lobster roll). Kudos to the DJ for playing tunes that were suitable for the various age groups present. We will definitely return next summer! read more

I love Durango!! Such a great local spot away from the strip but all the best perks and still an amazing ambiance. As soon as you walk in you're greeted by palm trees and the cutest poolside decor. The servers are attentive and fast, didn't wait long at all at our day bed for our food and drinks. Anything off the menu to eat and drink has not disappointed me one bit yet! read more

One of my favorite resort pools to go in Las Vegas. Such a beautiful atmosphere to be around. Always so clean & maintained. A Dj is there during the weekends as well, so good music is always playing while soaking up the sun! Upon arrival I'm always greeted so pleasantly by the front staff and the securities. The workers are always so helpful and friendly. They also host many fun backyard concerts, shows, artists, & wellness events. Never a dull time here! read more

We came here to see Jackson Dean and it was a super cool venue. The pool was beautiful! Lots of places to sit. The stage was just the right size and it was not too crowded. Clean bathrooms and fast service at the bars. Security was also easy and efficient. Free parking too! I don't usually go to the Durango b/c it's kind of far from my house but it's definitely a nice spot and I'd go back for other concerts in the future. read more

Bel Air Backyard is such a vibe. The poolside experience with the daybed is next level! It's super relaxing and perfect for a fun day in Vegas.

Everything from the food to the atmosphere was on point. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! read more

Great venue. I love outdoor concerts and this was wonderful. There was a small hiccup with one of the workers misdirecting us and a few other people into the attached lounge, we had to turn around and make our way back to the pool entrance. Beautiful poolside setting, intimate performance area. Getting a drink was pretty quick and easy, bartenders made same drink 2 different ways and charged more for what we consider cheap liquor, so watch what they are doing! Can't wait to return to our local casino for another concert. read more

Came here last weekend with my girlfriends! The cover was free of charge (they will start charging later this month) they offer free day beds on a first come first serve basis but tables and cabanas are reasonable. I loved hanging out here will be returning in the summer! Side note the pool is salt water (: read more

I've really become a convert of going off The Strip in Vegas, and Bel-Aire Backyard is a perfect example of why! My buddy, who's a Vegas local, took me and several friends down here on Memorial Day Sunday to actually relax from the hectic previous couple days of night and day clubbing on The Strip. Located behind the Durango Casino & Resort on South Durango Drive south of Clark Country Road 215, Bel-Aire Backyard is a cabana-lined pool and even sports an outdoor casino! We got ourselves a cabana, and it was much nicer than the other two we got on The Strip. Very spacious and breezy, which was great since the weather was really starting to heat up. Service was good, if not a bit slow. Took quite a while to get our orders in once the food (sushi boat) arrived. We got the requisite large bottle of vodka and mixers, though several of us ordered our own drinks whenever a server would pop in. The nice thing was that there was music, but it wasn't thumping my eardrums out. ;-) We all had a very relaxing afternoon here and I definitely look forward to visiting this place again. read more

Thank you Layla for the badass service you were absolutely amazing taking care of me and my friends! Will be back soon, love this place!!

Want to thank the team here especially the manager Tyler Reveles! Came here for my birthday and the service was awesome. The cocktail waitresses were super sweet. And their assistants were super fast in picking up our empty dishes when we were done eating. I've been to a few pools here in Vegas where the servers rarely check to see how I'm doing. That was not the case here. Everyone who walked by even down to the security guards said hi or asked how we were. I'm super impressed and as a local this will be my go-to spot. read more

Bel-Aire Backyard - I got the ceviche and Doug got the turkey sandwich. We shared a picture of the strawberry margarita. - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Decided to do a pool day. We happened to show up on a day where they were not charging cover. We tried to rent a daybed online but their system kept giving an error message online. Service was fast. We ordered sparkling waters, green goddess sushi roll, vegan burger and a fruit platter. I would say the vegan burger was the best out of everything. It didn't start getting super busy until 1 or so that day. If you go early you will find a chair to sit and plenty of umbrellas. Nice area to rinse off as well. Beautiful space and relaxing. Would love to come back and get a cabana with my girlfriends! read more

The perfect local spot to enjoy your summer! The pool has such a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to relax and unwind. My go-to favorites on the menu are the fish tacos, sushi, and the fresh fruit platter--they never disappoint. The drinks are always refreshing, and the service truly stands out. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and makes every visit feel special. I've experienced both the cabanas and daybeds, and each time has been amazing. From the food and drinks to the service and overall ambiance, everything comes together beautifully. The decor adds to the charm, creating a desert oasis that feels both inviting and effortlessly enjoyable. read more

My all time favorite pool to come and spend time with my friends/family! Food is super delicious, my favorite dishes from here is the Belaire Sushi Yacht! It's perfect to share. Same for the fruit platter, very refreshing and I also love to order the açaí bowl. The staff are always so great and accommodating. Bar staff is always on point with the drinks.

Wonderful job on keeping this my all time favorite pool to enjoy during the summer! Definitely recommend coming here. read more

Went to The Fray here and this was my first time at this venue for a concert and it was one of my favorites for smaller concerts in Vegas! There was ample space for standing, the bar lines were manageable and I loved that there were so many cabanas available to reserve. They keep day beds in the pool and loungers around the pool that are first come first serve for concerts and I love that! Next time I would love to come early and snag one. The standing area by the stage had an astroturf which I thought was cool, better than standing on asphalt or concrete! The sound quality was great! I can't wait for another concert here! read more

Love that I can come to Bel Aire Backyard for a little tanning and pool day since it's so close to home! They usually have some local DJs playing some vibey music. Love the food and drink options here. On the weekends they host a workout event with local gym/studios when the weather is nice. After you are able to stick around to enjoy the pool! Big shoutout some of the team Sean, Chandler, Derrick, Makayla, and others for being amazing! read more

Went there for Aloha Fridays. It's once a month and features live performances and food by Aipono Cafe. Had such a great time. Pool and facilities are clean and beautiful. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Best place to be. Had a span musubi while waiting for the performance to start. Family friendly and a great way to jumpstart summer. I'm hoping that the may have more events such as this one that draws in the locals. Will definitely be back. read more

I love a new locals hangout & Bel-Aire is just that! It's the newly opened pool area at the Durango. Some friends and I went to kick off summer with a couple day beds for Memorial Day. We loved that it wasn't overly busy & the food/drink prices were really reasonable. When we came there wasn't a live DJ which was fine since the music was still good. It is all ages but there weren't a ton of kids. Food wise I thought the poke bowl was great. The quesadilla was just okay. Overall an awesome pool day & we'll definitely be back again. Beautiful space with friendly workers & great vibes. read more

Bel-Aire Backyard - Poke bowl & bbq chicken Quesadilla - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I got charged for someone else order. Didnt even know after it was posted on my bank, Very insane that this happens at a casino

The Hawaiian Luau was nice, but I'm very disappointed with the food item I chose. I chose the Backyard Nachos with Chicken.... The dish is $24.00 and was NOT worth it. The chicken, barely there, was over cooked.... the crema was covered at the BOTTOM of the plate and to my surprise, the mountain of chips were covered in jalapeños....I didn't ask for jalapeños nor did it state on the menu it had jalapeños. I could have sent it back, but I was there to try something new & I did‍. I WILL NOT be ordering that item if I go back‍ read more

Went and saw J Boog, wasn't notified prior to the event they weren't allowing vapes. Assuming it was to try to curb the weed smoking. Why book a reggae artist on 4/20 then? Had to throw out a $25 tobacco vape. Would have left it in the car if it had been published anywhere prior to showing up at the venue. That set the tone, now let's talk about drinks. They have two bars. That's it for a sold out concert. No satellite bars set up. We got one round. Wasn't worth waiting through that nonsense to try and get another round. On a positive note, J Boog rocked and the sound was good. First time visiting Durango, can't foresee making the trip across town or spending the money again. read more

What a vibe and literally my backyard! I love it here especially that they cater to locals on Recess Fridays and have a DJ! This is much better than the pool parties on the strip, which have limited pool chairs and space with a tiny pool where no one can really fit and enjoy their time there. The pool is large enough for everyone to enjoy and a backyard with 2 pool bars and an area to dine if you decide to order food. However, you have the option to sit wherever as there is seating throughout and also lounge in the pool area. The service was okay; sometimes you have to wave the server to remind them that you need to order. It can get super busy on a Friday, and I cannot evaluate their service at other times, but they tried their best to be accommodating and prompt with our order. Overall, this is something to check out at least once if you are a local and looking to cool off during the summer months. read more

Came here to get a quick bite to eat and drink before heading to the pool and to avoid paying the $40 entry fee for the pool. If you dine here, you are able to show your receipt at the entrance of the pool to get a stamp and towel. You are only allowed to sit in and open lounger though which is understandable. My friend and I each ordered a cocktail and we split the BBQ chicken quesadilla. My 32oz pina colada was absolutely terrible. It hardly had any flavor or alcohol in it and was mostly ice, that wasn't blended properly. IT was truly a disappointment. The quesadilla was also nothing to write home about. After all was said and done, we ended up paying just over $40 a piece but we didn't have to pay the pool entry fee and the price of a drink so we still came out ahead. The restaurant itself is very pretty and the vibe/people watching is great. So many beautiful women, both as the waitresses, hostesses, and patrons of the pool. It is outside and though it is covered and there are misters, it still gets pretty hot. read more

Open table swindled me! I thought the Bel-Aire Backyard lounge was participating in Restaurant Week but they weren't. Either way I had an amazing time. It was so nice to sit beneath the mist and enjoyed a nice lunch while watching others enjoy the pool. The DJ was spinning a nice playlist. The food was decent. I enjoyed the Durango Roll. It had pineapple inside which was a nice and brought an unexpected flavor profile with the tuna. The steak frites were recommended by my server. I normally don't like shoestring fries but these were so crispy and seasoned. The steak was a typical flank steak. I didn't like the sauce that came with it but overall the dish wasn't bad. The buffalo wings I was not a fan of. I didn't like the cut of the wings and the excess Red Devil or Franks Hot sauce coated on top. read more

I've never been to Palm Springs, but the pool at the new Durango casino definitely is giving Palm Springs vibes -- the sunny yellow daybeds, the astroturf near the back, the white curtains of the cabanas billowing in the breeze, and of course, the palm trees punctuating and surrounding this modern oasis in the desert. Ordinarily, the entry fee is $30 Monday through Friday, and $40 on the weekends, and even more on certain holidays. My friends were staying at this hotel, so I was able to enjoy complimentary admission with them. I was impressed with the cleanliness and overall atmosphere. The pool is on the smaller side, not too crowded. The lily pads and some chaise lounge chairs are actually on top of the water, so theoretically you never have to leave the poolside. There's a small fountain flowing in the center, which is reminiscent of Red Rock casino's style. I didn't try the food, but I did get a cocktail -- the TROPICAL MOJITO. It looked promising in its 14 oz glory and garnished prettily, but alas, it was rather weak, especially at $18. So I was disappointed in that regard. Thus, the missing star. Everything else was nice. Add Bel-Aire Backyard to the list of off-strip options for fun summer pool days in Vegas. read more

I got here at about noon on a Sunday and I had absolutely the best day by the pool and in the water. This was a great time to arrive as there was lots of selection of daybed in and out of the water to choose from. As the hours in the day progressed it started to fill up but was an absolutely great crowd and the DJ was so so amazing. I started with an açai bowl for breakfast, it was a huge portion and very delicious and fresh. Garrett was extremely helpful at the bar and whipped up some amazing mocktails for me all day.

This place is exceptional! My friend and I decided to come today April 15th 2024. We arrived around 12:30pm and talked to the girls in the front at check In they went over the daybed and cabana prices. We were more interested In just paying for GA since we just wanted to eat and lay out and we're not interested in drinking. The girls were nice enough to let us in with two lounge chairs in the pool right next to the bar with perfect sun. We ordered some coconut waters and some food, we ordered the yellowtail, Durango roll and Caesar salad, the food was absolutely delicious. The weather was perfect the music was amazing and it wasn't busy so that was nice. We had a few different servers helping us and they were so sweet!! We enjoyed our time here and left around 5pm we will definitely be back to check out a daybed and bring some more friends!!

My favorite pool as a local! Great service and ambiance is perfect for relaxing! Reserved a cabana for my daughter's 3rd birthday on an Easter Sunday. We expected it to be a busy day but our server and busser delivered well and promptly. We asked for our cake to be stored in their fridge in the kitchen and they had no problem accommodating that. We ordered the Belaire Sushi Yacht and other food items and it was bomb! We also had a pitcher of the Cucumber Cooler Cocktail and it was so refreshing! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the items on the menu. There's something for everybody! It's so pretty in there and the music is not too much at all.
