Las Vegas Hotels With Lazy River Pools

• By WGTV

Most hotels and casinos in Las Vegas have a pool of some kind to give guests a way to escape the sun and cool down. But nothing screams relaxation and inner peace quite as much as floating down a long lazy river in a comfy pool tube enjoying the atmosphere.

And while Las Vegas has many world-class pool parties, there are only a handful of pools here with lazy rivers these days. And the amount of options has dramatically dwindled these last couple of years.

That said, the lazy pools Vegas does have are still excellent means to relax. And each is also family-friendly, so everyone can partake in fun! So get ready to escape the fierce heat and wade along peacefully in desert poolside paradise. 

In this guide, you’ll learn:

• Which Las Vegas Hotels have a Lazy River
• Frequently Asked Questions

MGM Grand Pool Complex

Located on South Las Vegas Boulevard, MGM Grand Las Vegas is arguably one of the biggest and most famous names on The Strip. But it’s, without a doubt, one of the largest casinos. Inside, it features virtually every amenity imaginable.

We’re talking world-class restaurants, nightlife, and many famous entertainment options. But the MGM Grand also has a gorgeous waterpark and lazy river to match. 

Open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, the MGM Grand Pool Complex is a massive artificial canyon spanning 6.5 acres, including four refreshing swimming pools, three whirlpools, waterfalls, and their famous quarter-mile Lazy River with a gently flowing current.

In fact, the river at the MGM Grand Pool Complex is one of the longest on The Strip and double the size of Mandalay Bay. MGM also heats the waters, so they’re comfortable year-round. 

MGM provides free access to the Grand Pool Complex to all MGM Grand or MGM Signature guests, so you don’t have to pay separately to enjoy this luxury. That said, they don’t provide day passes for non-guests. Also of note, you can bring your own circular innertube or purchase one at the gift shop. 

Otherwise, this pool also delivers other amenities, including private cabanas for rental, daybeds, five poolside bars, a cabana grill, a weekend DJ, bottle service, reserved seating, and even poolside massage services.

But, if you’re really ready to turn things up, head over to Wet Republic Ultra Pool. It’s a world-renowned pool party venue filled with headlining DJs and premier bottle service ready to give you a swimwear party like no other.

Mandalay Bay Beach

Located on South Las Vegas Boulevard, Mandalay Bay also offers a world-class pool complex and luxury experience like no other. And it’s the largest complex on The Strip, hands down.

So it’s no question why this venue is featured on many famous travel sites like TripAdvisor.

Open daily from 8 AM to 7 PM, Mandalay Bay Beach is a whopping 11-acre pool complex surrounded by several thousand tons of sand. Inside, it offers three swimming pools, a roaring wave pool that pushes large waves at you, two lagoon pools, and a quarter-mile Lazy River. 

MGM offers access to the entire beach complex for hotel guests (Mandalay Bay, Delano, or The Four Seasons) with a valid room key. And you’re welcome to bring your own circular inner tube or purchase one at the gift shop if needed. However, non-guests cannot technically buy a day pass. Instead, you can get in here by eating at the poolside restaurant or renting a lounge chair, daybed, or cabana.

Otherwise, this pool offers several hot tubs, three poolside bars, a beachside grill, a designer swimwear shop, and many daybeds. It’s also heavily lined with private gazebos, party cabanas, and bungalows for rental, all with personal VIP service.

And for adults, there’s even a topless adult-only pool, called Moorea Beach Club, with live entertainment daily and a heated pool.  

Tahiti Village Resort & Spa

Located on South Las Vegas Boulevard shortly after Town Square, Tahiti Village Resort isn’t technically on The Strip. However, it’s only 2 miles south (a short 10-minute drive). But it’s actually the perfect option for family vacations, especially if you’re looking for something affordable and down-to-earth.

Open daily, Tahiti Village gets its name from its Tahitian theme, which originates from French Polynesia. So unlike other hotels, their pool comes with Tiki torches, soaring palm trees, and even real beach sand to make it feel like a true paradise.

Their resort offers a Lazy River passage a 1/8th of a mile long. Plus, this pool is seasonally heated, so it’s cool during the summer and heated in the winter, letting you enjoy it year-round.

The pool complex itself also boasts four gorgeous cascading waterfall features with stunning views and even functions to keep you cool as you float.

Tahiti Village offers hotel guests access to the entire pool complex with a valid room key. And they, too, don’t allow non-guests to use the pool, nor are there day passes. But they do offer each guest complimentary personal tube rentals daily.

Otherwise, this pool offers two hot tubs, one exclusively for adults, two Tiki-themed bars, free lounge chairs, and a sand entry area to build sand castles – great for the kids. 

Conclusion

And there you have it. You now have a complete list of the best lazy rivers in Vegas. Of course, Vegas does have two dedicated waterparks, but those are a bit of a hike. And they’d only be worth it if you want to also go on aquatic rides, think giant water slides. Otherwise, those are best skipped.
