Love this place! Best resort pool on the strip! Didn't visit in the peak of the summer, but was super chill and perfect for May! It's very busy at Apple. Space and cabana rentals are a must do! The service is fantastic as well as the food and just a great atmosphere! Love it. read more

Such a cool complex. My party reserved a day bed and lounge chairs at the 18+ pool and our server John was so attentive and friendly. He made our whole experience top notch. The 18+ pool was mostly people sunbathing which meant the swimming pool was open and comfortable. read more

Nice area, and it was very clean. I deducted a star because the Lazy River was closed, and no reason was given. That was disappointing. I deducted the 2nd star because the food/drink prices were highway robbery. I get it, it's a pool at a high end casino in Vegas, it's going to be expensive. But geez. Iced tea is $8. We didn't use the cocktail servers roaming around, but they seemed to be on top of it, and we were checked on multiple times to see if we needed anything. We did wind up getting chicken tenders (for $22), but I'll admit there was a huge portion. The presentation wasn't great- they're tossed in a box with fries, and then they give you Ken's Steakhouse salad dressing packets for your sauce. No cup to put it in. We hung out at the Producers Pool, which had a good amount of people in it, but it wasn't overcrowded. There were tons of kids, so if your kid averse, keep that in mind. The music was also fairly loud; if you're looking for quiet, this pool at the complex isn't for you. read more

Love this pool complex. Several different pools with different vibes. Go to producers pool for more relaxed chill time. Or relax in thr lazy river for a bit. The pool is what makes the MGM grand hotel so amazing read more

We booked reserved seating by the private pool which is great for an adults only environment. Super chill, good music, and the chairs and umbrella make your experience very comfortable. Our waitress was Lori and she took the best care of us. She was not only very attentive but also extremely pleasant to deal with. She had great conversation, and overall her vibe and people skills made our day. We enjoyed it so much we decided to reserve chairs again for the following day although she mentioned she wouldn't be in our section. Now we come the second day and our waitress is a woman named Michelle and when I tell you it was a 180 experience from the prior day it's an understatement. I have never as a customer felt so insignificant, a nuisance is how she made us feel. I'm not sure how working in hospitality someone can be so rude and angry at 10am. We ended up having to speak to the manager Christopher who took immediate action and righted all her wrongs. To our delight he directed us to Lori's section and she continued with the absolute best professional service. Thank you to Lori and Christopher for saving our day and ensuring we had a good time. I highly recommend coming here but if possible avoid Michelle. PS the food is absolutely delicious, perfect to enjoy poolside. read more

I wasn't staying at the MGM grand so I had to book a river pod and can say it was worth the money. You get access to the pool complex all day and get amazing service! You have to pay to reserve a pod and half goes to the bed itself the other is a beverage and food credit. You can order food drinks etc the food itself isn't the best but not the worst either! We really enjoyed the river pod even though we couldn't access until 10! Would visit again in a heartbeat. The lazy river def gets packed but fun! read more

MGM Grand Pool Complex - Lazy river - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The pool is nice on a hot day. Most staff was friendly and professional except for one lifeguard. On a Tuesday, i came in with semi elongated inflatable not much longer than an oversized round tube. I didnt know you could not bring in tubes other than a round one. I saw several other patrons bring in elongated inflatables and i brought mine. After 3 full hours in the lazy river, a life guard told me that i could not use it. If i could not use it, why did the staff let me in? Why did you wait THEEE FULL hours before you (lifeguard) call me out? Why did you have to give me the dirty eye stare everytime i went around until you decided to call me out. That was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! Do you give your mother the evil stare when you are upset or your mother does something wrong? Other lifeguards let me pass around. They were not as strict in letting other food and drinks in. They were not as strict in letting children bring in water toys, yet that is one of the rules. The young lifeguard said she was there longer and understood the rules better as justification for enforcing the slightly elongated inflatable, yet was unprofessional and inconsistent for arbitrarily enforcing particular rules and not others. The patrons in the lounge chairs to the right and left of me spoke to me and called out that the lifeguard (young lady) was unprofessional and should have let the elongated inflatable slide given the other lax enforcement of the rules. I was not causing any trouble during my time here and was polite to other patrons in the lazy river. What really upsets me is the amount of trash and beer cans along the ledges of the lazy river. This is a safety hazard (see pic)!!! If there is one thing that is most important to enforce, it is safety!!!!' In areas where the walkway is narrow, the trash made it hard to walk around and people could slip or be injured. This is a liability hazard!!!! No one came to pick up during my 3 hours there. You should enforce safety not a slightly elongated inflatable. The staff should be more consistent in what they enforce, and not have one lifeguard arbitrarily call out a minor concern. Why didnt you (you lady lifeguard) call out the other kids who brought water toys in the lazy river? Why did you not call out the other people who brought outside sandwiches and food that i saw? Why didnt you call services to clean up the trash along the lazy river to prevent liabilities? This lifeguard certainly ruined a good day and one day karma will come back to this person. ***OVERALL: Other than this particular lifeguard, the water was somewhat clean. The pool complex could still be an appropriate venue for families and guests if not for the trash left along the lazy river (it is a safety hazard and a liability). read more

It was way too crowded, I'm talking rubbing elbows. $30 a Tube to float on. Hard pass.

Joey was our host and took care of us at our purchased day bed and water lounge chairs. We were near waterfall. Great vibe, lazy river is awesome and everyone was very friendly and kids playing. Good vibes. Joey was so kind and just a great host, thank you sir! read more

This place is an absolute joke. They offer different prices for men and women, fine if you're gonna overlook that ridiculous policy, you have to pay to check bags, you have to pay either $2000 or $10,000 to sit in a chair otherwise you can only sit on the perimeter of the pool. Drinks are ridiculously overpriced and this place has rules that they do not post. When we asked about the rules and why they're not on their website. They said it's up to the entertainers discretion to set the rules. I'm at the pool right now and already disputing the charge. read more

In the summer this place is both wonderful and terrible. Wonderful in that they have a lots of pools, including a general pool, an adults only pool, a VIP guest area, and the Lazy River. I lurve the Lazy River and can stay there all day. We pay a little extra for reserved seats, that way the servers always check in on us, bring us iced water without us having to ask, and we have umbrellas for our personal usage. You need to pay to rent the tubes at the Lazy River, but I know how to float, so I don't use them. What's terrible about this place are two things. First, the vast amounts of people here. If you're a guest of any MGM property, you can pay to visit. That means in the summer this place is crazy crowded, so definitely rent a cabana or a lounge chair at an exorbitant price if you need to have some space set aside for yourself. And forget about the hot tubs- whether it's summer or winter they are filled to the brim with families and kids. The second bad thing? They have just tons of Bud and Bud Light ice buckets lining the pools, especially around the general pool and the Producer's pool and there have no one picking up once they're used. It's so bad that if you want to sit near the pool edge, you kinda have to do a little custodial work and put cans in buckets, stack buckets, and gather them together somewhere away from you. It doesn't have to be like that. I go to Cancun a lot and the resorts constantly have people walking around, asking if people are done with their beverages and cleaning up so that the place doesn't look embarrassing. In spite of that, the place seems hygienically clean and it is a fun place to hang out, but if you're looking for a relaxing place to chill near the water, try an expensive indoor spa, because this place is about loud party music and it's just crawling with kids and trash. read more

MGM Grand Pool Complex - View from my reserved lounge chair - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

A good time was had by all during the NCAA tourney. Unfortunately the weather was chilly (70°), so Cabana #13 go early shade which annoyed me. Stephanie was our point person and our server was Gary, both did a nice job making sure our group was happy and hydrated (check, check). At MGM whatever you pay for the cabana, you get half of that amount in food and drinks. You have a private server for the day, as mentioned, we had Gary. Cabana # 13 is probably great during the HOT months because you get a lot of shade the whole morning because it has trees, but in March it is not optimal. There is a restroom pretty close and an entrance into the lazy river right in front of you. The cabana has 4 lounge chairs and an umbrella outside. Inside it has a couch, a dining table with chairs, a TV, a safe, garbage can and inner tubes for the pool. The menu is a little limited but what they have is good. We enjoyed our experience and found it to be a good investment. read more

I've been coming to this pool since 2008. It hasn't changed much but it's always a great time. I'm from Texas so I love a lazy river. I think the pools opens around 8 am but the lazy river doesn't open till 10 am. They have three reservation options, chairs, beds or cabanas. Most of reservable chairs are on an island in the middle of the lazy river same with the beds. The cabanas are along the outer area of the common pool chairs. Since it's just two of us, we just reserve the chairs at $60 each. I'd suggest doing this as soon as you book your rooms because in the summer they get booked and you might not get the days you want. We did it through our MGM app. In the summer there are LOTS of families with kids so the spots do get taken quickly. If you don't reserve one, don't worry there are lots of free chairs to sit in. The private island is not overcrowded with chairs, enough to have some space and it comes with an umbrella. If you want a good spot where your chair is facing the lazy river you've gotta get there early because the chair is reserved for paying patrons BUT the spot where the seat is is first come first serve. You've gotta check in at the little office first and then they give a receipt and wrist bands. Once you find your spot, a server will come by and collect that receipt and take your order. There is a double sided one page menu to order from with cocktails beer and some appetizer foods if you're hungry. If you have a larger crowd they'll bring you a different menu with the same food options plus others but the portions are larger. We ordered some chicken tenders on a bed of fries (it was a lot of fries) and the loaded fries which had queso, jalapeños, green onion and sour cream. I didn't know the tenders were gonna have THAT MANY fries or I would've ordered the nachos. The bed near us ordered tenders as well and their order was huge! It came in a huge platter and they had 3 small children so they ate it up. I forgot to mention, the beds are pricey but half that price is a food and drink credit, so if the bed is $500, then half of that is for food and drinks. The beds are meant for 4 people and it was a great idea for that family because the kids took a nap in the shade of the umbrella. They also got a huge veggie platter that they snacked on and a bucket of waters (I was being nosey tee hee). Our server Lori (Lorena) was very good. She checked on us constantly and was making sure that only paying customers were sitting in the seats (I'm not a snob but I paid for my seat so I expect others to as well). She was very kind and professional about the way she did it. She said hello and then asked if they would like to rent the seat at $60. They all said no and left. She was not condescending, rude or snarky about it either. She recognized later on that I was pregnant and asked to make sure ( thank you for asking) and I said yes. After that she checked on us constantly and she ALWAYS brought me a large ice water. The service was already good but she took the extra step to make sure I was okay. She also brought me a little cup of fruit which was VERY nice of her. She didn't have to but the fact that she did was so kind of her. You have people in service who just do their job and then you have those who do it with pride and she definitely did. Before COVID MGM used to hand out tubes for people to use for free. They've gotten rid of them and you can bring your own. They do offer a service to blow them up for you but you've gotta wait in line. They also sell two sizes if you didn't bring one but it's $25 and $30. It's cheaper to just buy them at Five Below. I gave this 4 stars because of a couple of things. Towards the end of the lazy river time (they close it at 5) was the trash. Along the river there are spots you can perch and chill but people left so much trash. Cans, cups, buckets, food and napkins. It's not really the pool staffs fault that some people are disgusting and have no home training but someone should walk along the lazy river and just scoop up trash every now and then. Which answers my question as to why we can't bring our own food and drinks in. Straws and napkins end up in the water. Speaking of things in the water, people walk around with crocs and flip flop sandals then GET IN THE WATER bringing leaves and mulch into the river. Come on y'all, that's gross. The bathroom nearest to me only had three stalls and no circulating air so there was a line and the air was stale. All in all, I love coming here, I've never had my items stolen, never witnessed a fight or altercation, in general the place is pretty clean and feels safe to visit. Can't wait to be back next summer. read more

We rented chairs at the Wet Republic Lazy River. It's not marked to go to this 'Island' so finding our sets was a task. We ordered food water and drinks with Taylor and had no table to put our stuff on. I would suggest to have a table at every set of 4 chairs. Our umbrella was broke and had to (with an ask) be replaced. Drinks. The Strawberry Daiquiri was off, not a sweet taste but like the machine needed to be serviced. Nothing tasted tropical. Directions. Signage should be a little bit better for it to say the 'island'. Because that's where the lifeguards direct you to but signs do indicate that. Having somebody after you check-in would be nice to lead you into which area you're in or you'll walk around for 20 minutes. I had to ask for ice water multiple times and it felt since we didn't order multiple drinks (after having a bad one at that price) that water was not an option. With it being a 109 degrees out and having paid for sets ice water would be with a smile. Suggestion. Have an ice water service rolling around the river. Service was slow. It was a nice ambiance but I felt like. we were treated mediocre at best. read more

The best part of MGM by far, and if you're looking for a cabana rental, definitely worth a visit regardless how far away you're staying! Everyone was so friendly and understanding, and made our visit extremely enjoyable. Highlight of our trip and we'll definitely be back ! read more

I have been to so many pools on the strip and this was definitely one of our favorites! The lazy river was great, however, you gotta bring your own pool inflatable tubes or you will end up paying 30 dollars for one like we had to. I highly recommend the Miami vice drink, so delicious. We wish the prices weren't so high on the weekend, but we will try our best to come back on a weekday! read more

Honestly this pool complex was the main reason we booked our hotel here and it did not disappoint. They have a long lazy river, giant jacuzzi, and multiple pools with shady areas, lounge chairs, and pods/cabanas that are available to rent. All you need to do is scan your room key and show your ID at the entrance, and you're able to grab free towels and make your way down. There are a couple spots to grab drinks around the complex, and they have a main cabana grill which offers the basics like sandwiches, burgers, fries, etc. You're able to eat it poolside, just not in the actual pool. Note - if you want to tubing down the lazy river, bring your own tube! They do not have rentals, and only sell them for $25-30 (depending on the size). read more

Some of the rudest event staff in Vegas. They will make you throw away any small liquids (eye drops, chapsticks, etc). They additionally almost made me throw away candy needed to treat my blood sugar (I am a diabetic). I believe I will be filing an ADA complaint over it. read more

When a tube costs $35, they should be concerned about theft. Was here for a conference and after work we came down with tubes to enjoy the lazy River. The lazy River closes at 5pm. So we decided to try the pool, putting our rafts on a chair with our stuff. The pool area is filthy! Empty cans and buckets all over the pool deck and around chairs that were not ever picked up. A employee stated that the "EVS" doesn't clean up until after they close. While in pool, noticed that someone stole one of our tubes. The staff did not care a single but, and truly only cared if I had a receipt. The security officer made snide comments about me in front of other guests, including my girlfriend, having to be told to stop by other employees. No one wanted to try and help find the person that stole my property and their attitude made it appear that it happens all the time, and they do not care. read more

I booked a Cabana ahead of time online. They are first come first serve but you can request a certain cabana and if available you will get it. I requested # 13 If you have a reservation you do not have to wait in the long line prior to 9 am. We checked in around 8:15 am and got Cabana # 13. You get your wristband and you can come back at 9 am when they open the doors. At MGM whatever you pay for the cabana, you get half of that amount in food and drinks. You have a private server for the day, we had Chris. Cabana # 13 is great because you get a lot of shade the whole morning because it has trees. If you really want shade from trees, get # 14. There is a restroom pretty close and an entrance into the lazy river right in front of you. The cabana has 4 lounge chairs and an umbrella outside. Inside it has a couch, a dining table with chairs, a TV, a safe, garbage can and inner tubes for the pool. The menu is a little limited but pretty good variety. As plant based I was able to order veggie sushi and a fruit plate. They can make smaller sizes of the plates (there was only 2 of us) or larger sizes if you have a crowd. Drinks were great, food was great. And of course having room and shade made for a more comfortable day. I definitely want to thank Chris. He had a lot of guests to take care of, but he did a great job. He was constantly running around. he got our orders right, was friendly and professional. Thanks Chris! read more

I've been coming to Vegas about twice a year since 2007. I pretty much only come memorial day and Labor Day weekend and the main reason I always stay at the MGM as opposed to other hotels is because of the pool. MGM has a fantastic multiple options when it comes to pools and or a lazy river. They also recently added an outdoor eating cabana in the center of the pool complex. The main pool I stay at is the Academy pool where you have the Academy bar and fantastic servers like Vanessa, who always take care of us. Most drinks are $30 with an extra $4 if you want a float of liquor on top. The mango mai tai is my go to when relaxing in the pool or laying out in the Vegas sun. The Rumrunner drink is also very good. They have cabana services as well as you can rent bigger lounge chairs with umbrellas. I've eaten here several times as well and it's always very good and the service is even better. See you guys memorial day 2024. read more

Always a good time relaxing poolside at the MGM Grand. Just be prepared to pay a little extra. If you want to enjoy the lazy river, pay $20 or $25 for an MGM Grand Tube. If you don't bring your own sunblock or hat expect to pay another $20-$30. If you don't have a cabana and bottle service expect to pay at least $100 for a few drinks and bottles of water. Not as elegant and spacious as the Mandalay Bay Pool but still very fun and functional. Tons of lounge chairs to go around but very little shade which is perfect for those wanting to get their tan on. Keep in mind, there are adult themed and damily pools - just choose where you want to relax. Remember to tip well. Its Vegas Baby! Take in all the views on and off the strip. I'll be back for sure but this quarter. read more

TLDR: Plan your day to avoid eating at the pool serving restaurant. The Lazy River was a blast, I just wish there were staff/lifeguards etc. That enforced the rules to avoid congestion caused by people treating the river like a pool. It's not fun slamming into someone else because of the congestion or having someone's foot come out of nowhere and touch your face. The Private Reserve pool was better, it's adults only so no children, plenty of general chairs as well as options for reservations. We ordered food one of the days we spent at the pool and it took an hour and a half for it come, a different day people we were sitting near also had their order delayed and incomplete. While drink orders were timely, we were given incorrect items. Just be prepared read more

I mean it is what it is for a hotel pool. Only 2 main pools open, the lazy river and the bigger ones. The water probably isn't as clean, but it's a public pool to the people who are visiting the hotel, so it's expected unfortunately. My main gripe is the fact of paying for things like the cabana or the beds and other visitors taking advantage of the area. My family and I rented one of the beds and people kept getting uncomfortably close, they'd sit in front of our bed and use a small little gap we have next to the bed to enter the river rather than going to the entrance a few feet away. I get it, we don't own the property and the grounds, but we spent around $500 for this spot. People constantly sat in front of our bed, and used the gap to enter and exit the river, they even put their stuff relatively close to our stuff. It was so annoying. So many inconsiderate people using the ledge to enter and exit near our bed, that they didn't even notice they were wetting our bags we had near the bed. You figure that the hotel would do something but the staff could really care less. I understand, it isn't their fault that some people don't know how to be respectful of others space, but I really think the resort could do better for those who spent a lot of money for these kinds of spots, like putting up a rope to block off the area to others to ensure customer's privacy when they spend a lot of money on a service and area. I'm sure such a big hotel can afford that at the very least. I also think they should definitely put more umbrellas for the regular seats so people don't have heatstrokes. The pools are a fun place to bring the family, and don't get me wrong.. the service was also great as well as food and drink. But the amount of disturbances and invasion of our space that we spent around $500 was miserable. As I write this, 4 separate groups either got in or out using the ledge and wet our bags and us, or Jumped over our belongings to get in. I really hope this resort invests more to ensure privacy for guests who spent money on it. read more

We have stayed at MGM Grand Las Vegas for the past ten years almost exclusively. We visit at minimum twice a year and sometimes as many as five times a year. I say this to make it abundantly clear that this is not a one off bad review. Actually, if this were my first time at the MGM Grand, I would give 1 star and never return. But since I know it's not always this bad, I gave it 3 stars to even out my ten years experience. I'm also hoping management actually cares and takes this seriously. The pool has gone through many changes over the years and not in good ways. There are 5 pools on the 6 acres complex. This is a MAJOR draw to the property which is greatly underutilized. On many occasions only the main pool and lazy river are open. There is a massive producer pool that just sits unused for no apparent reason. Sometimes they say it's because of an evening private event. That's in the evening. What about all day? The pool could close at 5pm and still be ready for the event by 7pm. No? There's also a splash pool that I literally have not seen open in the entire ten years I've frequented the property. No explanation for that at all. This past trip we were there Wed thru Tuesday. There was a convention so Sunday and Monday were especially packed at the pools. I would think they would know this based on hotel room reservations. No? Yet the only two pools open were main and lazy river. Therefore, there was absolutely no where for people to sit. To top it off, two of the four restrooms were closed because they are in the producer and splash pool areas which were closed. That's absolutely unacceptable to close two of four restrooms with that many patrons at the pool. Literally asking for people to piss in the pool. Then the servers. On Sunday there was only 1 server manning the producer pool which is huge and was fully packed. People were obviously getting very frustrated and going to the bars which were equally understaffed. Then Monday when the producer pool was closed, there were only 2 servers at the main pool trying to get to literally hundreds of people. This is not a server issue. This is a management issue. The servers do their absolute best and get shit customers because of understaffing. Again, I really hope management figures this out because it's highly frustrating to have so many pools and a huge complex and then not use any of it. read more

2 friends and I planned a Saturday-Tuesday trip to the MGM Grand hotel with the primary purpose of hanging out by the pool. We were able to get seats in the adult pool area (when you enter, go right, past the first pool to the back corner). This area was wonderful and kid free. Michelle was a great server for us every day. The lazy river is AMAZING. PRO-TIP: If travelling from out of town, check out "pool hammock" on amazon. Light-weight, compact, not a lot to blow up and PERFECT for this lazy river. The pool does fill up on the weekends. The lazy river does fill up very quickly - as an example, I left the lazy river at 10am on a Tuesday morning and there was a line to get in. I will definitely return again. read more

We've been coming to MGM Grand for years and have not gone to other hotels specifically because of the food and beverage credit when you purchase a daybed or cabana. Pretty disappointed to learn since reopening, this has dropped to 50% of the fee. For a $500 daybed that is a good chunk of money. Heather was the best server we have had and was awesome, but the change in food and beverage credit policy means we will probably look elsewhere next time. read more

Fast service, kind employees, easy access to bars, not too crowded, yummy food, and lots of seating

Honestly a huge let down. The entire time they played the raunchiest, dirtiest, sexual music you could basically play every other word was F or P. One song was basically the musical describing into detail how he's Fing a girl in her P. It was basically audio porn the entire afternoon. I would have been so pissed if I brought my kids. Really unprofessional and disgusting. Save that for the clubs totally unnecessary to play that music the entire time during the day at the pool. Just play top hits or something that is good enough. Or At least bleep the f bombs. But nope 5 hours straight of F bombs and effing a girl in her P. read more

I absolutely love this pool. The music was good and there were plenty of chairs. My only complaint was with the bar. The bartender wasn't very friendly. I ordered a mango mai tai. He proceeded to pour a tiny amount of liquor from a black beverage gun then filled the cup with a ton of juice. All for the grand price of $26. I'm used to the high drink prices at Vegas pools. I've had several bartenders make me mai tais at mgm pools that were more potent. Because of this I'm willing to shell out $30 a drink. After this experience I'm not sure I will again. The juice isn't worth that much. I'll pregame prior to the pool from now on. read more

Key points: - buy your slushies at 32 Degrees, inside the MGM on your way to the pool (save $$) - buy your inner tubes online ahead of time (even use Amazon Prime lockers at the Linq); they cost $15 at the pool (save $$) - write your name on our inner tube (ours was stolen!) - if you're checking out at the MGM, save one of your room keys so you can still get in for free! Ok, so a lot of my notes are about saving money, but even if you're going all in, the lazy river at the MGM pool is really fun. Yes, it gets packed. And food and drinks are expensive. And I cannot understand why they'd close at 5pm - maybe it's a safety thing - but if you get there on the earlier side and stack up on cheap alcohol, you're in for a fun time. There is some awesome people watching to be had, especially if you stay into the afternoon. Or, maybe you will find yourself becoming one of those people to be watched! Don't fool yourself. The lazy river is a lot more fun with the inner tube. But buy ahead! Anything is cheaper than $15 - especially when your inner tube gets stolen from the pool. (That was a sad moment.) read more

MGM Grand Pool Complex - Lounging by the lazy river - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I rented a cabana for the day and boy was it worth it! I made my reservation through their website about one month prior and I got a great rate. There is a food and beverage minimum, which means that the rate you pay for the cabana is what you have to spend on food or drinks for the day. After securing your reservation you must call them to make requests for a specific cabana. According to their website, all rentals are given on a first come first serve basis. But I found that not to be true. I was the first to check in on the day of my reservation but was only given my choice of three cabanas. I was told that the others had already been requested, although no one had checked in for them. That was disappointing, but I know now to make a request for the specific cabana I want in the future. Check in begins at 8am but there is no access the cabanas or lazy river until 9am, only the pools are open. I ended up with Cabana 9 which was in a great location on the back end of the lazy river. The rental included towels, a tv, safe, mini fridge, and 4 inner tubes. There were also outlets to charge your cell phone. Food service begins at 10am and their is dedicated server to assist with food and drink orders. The food was just ok. It's pool food. But the drinks were great. The lazy river was a hit with my whole family. It has a current so all you have to is get on your tube and drift around with no effort. read more

Updated private cabana menu. We booked a pod for $350. Half of that we got as a good/beverage credit. It's not cheap here, but it's a nice pod. It was difficult finding the pod, they need better signs and we were originally given a pod that was already taken. Other than that, it's a beautiful place! read more

This is a complex with multiple pools a a lazy river. I got 2 reserved lounge chair in the 18+ section and we stayed all day. The chairs were padded and felt more like beds. The drinks were pricer and smaller then the neighboring hotel (tropicana) but were delicious. Looking for relaxation, the 18+ over section is perfect, looking for a party hit up any of the other pool read more

My Auntie booked a cabana for her birthday yesterday and I have to say, it was the most fun I've had in a while! A special shout out to Stephanie, Joey, and Will, who all made the day go perfectly for my aunt and her family and friends. All three worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was taken care of, and I truly appreciate the hospitality. read more

Going to any pool over a holiday weekend is going to be a busy but I was still impressed with the overall cleanliness when the pool was at capacity. Lots and lots of bars and restrooms so you never have to go very far from your lounge. The Lazy River is a good length. PRO TIP: bring your own tube or you have to buy one if you want to float, otherwise just walking is fun too. read more

Please don't waste your time or your money coming here! The pool service is absolutely garbage! We paid $70 per chair to have service and the girl treated us like crap! We even told management and it didn't improve not even one bit. She wouldn't even service and didn't even tell us the food service was over. Even though I live here I think you all should go to a different property if you want quality pool service Shame on you MGM! read more
