Special pools of Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the most well known and popular destinations in the world. People love to gamble, and when it is packaged with great reataurants, fascinating hotels, exciting nightlife and a variety of things to do - when not in the Casinos.

I love to relax around a pool and am not much of a gambler, so finding these interesting pools, which are almost a vacation in themselves, gave me another incentive to visit the "gambling capitol of the world. The "Specials" being offered at each hotel is another great incentive to visit.

Bare at the Mirage, two luxury dipping pools, where guests can find respite from the hot vegas sun, while enjoying the poolside chaise lounges, in the middle of the action; DJ spun music to entertain; sun bathing secluded by towering palms; and a menu of sumptuous speciality food items and cocktail service.

A luxurious option for guests is to rent a private daybed or cabana, with VIP service, that include -

* chilled cucumbers - to soothe the eyes;
* iced towels - rolled and chilled in flavored water;
* frozen fruit - skewered for snacking;
* icy popsicles and mini fruit smoothies - served in individual shot glasses;
* Evian misting bottles - super-chilled and ready to spritz.

A twist to the "bottle service" is the unique alternative - pre mixed cocktails such as Bloody Mary's and Mojitos, served in specially made pitchers guaranteed to keep the ice cold.

Spend a relaxing few hours away from the casinos at the Villagio del sol pool area. Sunbathe in the expansive pool area, while enjoying the flat screen TVs, and the music from the state-of-the-art sound system. No need to miss any of the action in the casino, as there is blackjack poolside and several bar areas to get that special cocktail.
