Hi Vegas fans,
As the summer winds down, Las Vegas visitors are trying to get in as much pool time as possible. There have been a few problems at pools lately. Recently, the MGM Grand pool closed because of a faulty injection pump, there was a fatality earlier this month when a man died at the Hard Rock of a head injury at a pool party, and a kid almost died at the Rio's pool a few weeks ago. Please be safe and aware of your surroundings if you're partying at pools.
I'm all for having a few drinks by the pool or in the cabana, but there's a difference between partying in a nice, dry, air-conditioned club and a wet, hot, slippery poolside. Just be aware of your surroundings, and remember that there may be kids around, too.
I remember a few years ago when I visited MGM Grand's pool complex. It's really something to behold, and if you've never been there, I highly recommend it when it reopens. The lazy river is a lot of fun, whether you're 7 or 75. And there are so many pools that even during crowded times, you can find a place to swim, or at least stick your toesies in the water.
I've never been to Mandalay Bay's beach, but from what I've heard and seen, I don't think there's a better pool in Vegas. Waves, sand, and lotsa water. Talk about fun! One of these days I'm gonna splurge and stay there just for the pool experience.
Some of these pools were built when Vegas was trending more towards a family friendly era. That passed quickly when execs realized that kids can't gamble. But, many of the cool pools remained in tact.
And I'm glad. It's just another fun reason to explore the wonder that is Las Vegas. So, for the rest of the summer, be cool and have a good time by the pool!
Viva,
Mike
