Hotel Resort Fees

A daily resort fee of $45.00 will be charged for the use of hotel amenities, including the pool.

Lifeguard

Lifeguards are on duty at all pools.

Number of Pools

There are three distinct pool decks at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas. These are known as the Cosmopolitan Pool District. If three pools are not enough choice then consider the seven pool at the new Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Heated / Unheated

All of the pools are heated to a comfortable temperature.

Number of Jacuzzis

There are multiple hot tubs at this resort.

Wheelchair Access

All pool decks are wheelchair accessible. Mobility lifts are available.

Pool Towels

Complimentary pool towels are provided.

Pool Vibe

There are three distinct pools at the Cosmopolitan. Each of these pools has its own unique vibe. If you are looking for a pool with an additional amount of protection from the sun, you may want to check the adjacent and connected Jockey Club Hotel pool. It offers significantly fewer amenities but does offer additional protection from the sun.

The Boulevard pool is located on the fourth-floor deck of the Boulevard Tower and overlooks the heart of The Las Vegas Strip. Its multi-level, open-air environment allows for fantastic views in all directions.

The Boulevard Pool is by far the largest pool deck in the Cosmopolitan Pool District. Each level of the deck provides for a different pool experience. If you want a more tranquil lounger experience which is further away from the main pool activity, there is a pool deck area available for you to enjoy just that.

But, if you want to be at the center of all the excitement and energy then simply pick a pool deck closer to the main pool. Reserved seating reservations are really your best option if you want a place close to the pool to lounge on unless you are prepared to arrive early and claim one of the few poolside complimentary loungers or Lilypad chairs.

Dive In Movies

On Monday evenings during the Summer months, the marquee on the fourth floor of Boulevard Pool is transformed into a massive movie screen, showing your favorite movies high above The Las Vegas Strip. Take a dip or lounge poolside as you enjoy handcrafted, movie-themed cocktails and enjoy creative movie snacks under the stars.

If you want to really up your poolside movie night experience, then you should know that cabana and daybed reservations are available with a food & beverage minimum. These reservations will include complimentary admission to Dive In Movies.

Chelsea Pool

The Chelsea Pool has a drastically different vibe than the Boulevard Pool. Those guests choosing to experience a much more tranquil and more intimate pool will be better served at the Chelsea Pool. The pool is located on the 14th floor of the Chelsea Tower and is restricted to current guests of the Cosmopolitan. I was however able to gain access to this pool by presenting my Identity One Platinum card.

There is no loud DJ or live music around this pool. Relax to the sound of soft ambient music. The beverage service is excellent and there were plenty of complimentary loungers available while I was there.

Marquee Dayclub

The Marquee Dayclub is the Cosmopolitan’s Adult Only pool party venue. Enjoy the energy of this exclusive poolside environment while enjoying signature drinks and specially created food menu offerings. Although there are no complimentary loungers available at this pool, there are multiple reserved seating options.

If you have any mobility issues I advise you to inform the staff once you get to security at check-in. Otherwise, you will have quite a number of flights of stairs to climb before you reach the pool deck. I did notice an elevator on the pool deck level so I am sure they can accommodate you.

The dayclub feels very rich and you know you are in a very special place. The daybeds that are in the water are a very nice touch and the cabanas are very well-appointed. For information on 2024 pricing and a calendar of events, check my post on the Marquee Dayclub.

Other MGM properties with Day Clubs can be found in this Guide on MGM Pools.

Loungers

Complimentary loungers are available at the Boulevard and Chelsea pools. These are available on a first-come basis. These can be tough to find if you come later on in the day, particularly on the busy weekend and holidays.

Reserved Seating Options

A variety of reserved seating options are available at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas swimming pools. Reserved seating guarantees you pool entrance even on days when the maximum capacity of the pool deck has been reached. It also ensures that all of the members of your group are seated together.

As with most reserved seating prices in Las Vegas, pricing can be very dynamic, particularly on weekends and holidays. Below are some sample pricing for the various reserved seating options available. As pricing is dynamic, always check the current Cosmopolitan reserved seating pricing and availability for the date that you are interested in.

Prices below were as of March 16, 2024, for the midweek date of Wednesday, May 15, 2024, and the weekend date of Saturday, May 18, 2024.

These prices are your food and beverage minimum spend. This means you are expected to order at least this minimum amount of food and beverages during your stay at your reserved seating.

If you exceed this amount you simply pay any additional amount. If you are under this minimum spend, the amount which you are under is considered a rental fee and you will still owe the full minimum spend amount.. Each rental also comes with an allotment of pool entry passes. This number is also represented in the charts below.

Daybeds

Daybeds are an excellent option if you are part of a small group and want a little extra space and comfort to enjoy. Daybed are usually in prime locations and are allotted additional attention from the serving staff. Renting a daybed allows you to leave for as long as you like and know that your space will still be there for you when return.

Cabanas

For those who want the ultimate pool experience, if it is in your budget, check out a cabana for a day. Cabanas give you and your friends that “home base” from which you can explore all that the pool and pool deck has to offer. All cabanas come with a TV, refrigerator with complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, ceiling fan, electronic safe, comfortable seating and additional storage.
