Pool Access

You must be a Resorts World guest to gain pool access, with the exception of AYU Dayclub. Reserved seating options are restricted to hotel guests only.

To find Hilton hotels in Vegas that allow non-guests to rent daybeds and cabanas, check out my post with pool summaries on all Las Vegas Hilton pools.

The new Fontainebleau hotel has also announced that they will make available an Oasis Pool Deck Resort Pass so non-guests can check it out. The highlighted link will take you to my post on the most current Fontainebleau pool information.

Hotel Resort Fees

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

Lifeguard

Lifeguards are on duty.

Number of Pools

There are a total of 6 pools at this resort, including Ayu Dayclub. Three bodies of water make up the Main Pool, while two separate pools make up the Adult Only VIP Pool area which includes Athena Infinity Ultra Pool.

If you enjoy a large selection of pools to choose from then you may also be interested in the pools at the Venetian/Palazzo pool deck. The highlighted link will take you to a recent post I have written on these pools.

Heated / Unheated

The outdoor pools are heated.

Jacuzzis

A hot tub is located by the Bimini Bar and pool.

Wheelchair Accessibility

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

Pool Vibe

Each of the 6 pool areas at this resort has its unique vibe.

The Main Pool actually consists of three separate pools. Guests can enjoy their time by the pool by securing a complimentary lounger, or they may choose to elevate their pool experience with the rental of a daybed. If you visit this pool on a quiet day you might think that there would always be free loungers available, however, on busy weekends and holidays these will get snapped up quickly.

If you arrive too late to take advantage of complimentary loungers you still have a few options. There are a fair number of lilypad loungers available and although these are popular, they do have a fairly high turnover rate as you really can not save them when you are not actually using them.

Another option is to just sit or stand in the pool. There is quite a bit of shallow areas in these three pools where you can just sit and stretch out your legs. Perhaps not as comfortable as a lounger but it does the job and you stay a bit cooler during the hot summer days.

Alternatively, you can spend a bit of money and go for some reserved seating. As reserved seating pricing in Las Vegas can be extremely dynamic, especially on weekends and holidays, always check the current reserved seating pricing and availability for the date that you are interested in.

As with many Las Vegas resorts, Resorts World’s reserved seating has a rental fee and a minimum spend requirement on food and beverages (F&B min.). Half the cost of your reservation is a rental fee while the other half is your food and beverage minimum spend. If you do not meet this F&B min. the remaining balance is still going to be charged to you.

Below is a sample of reserved seating options at the Main Pool. The prices were as of September 27, 2023, for the midweek date of Wednesday, October 11, and the weekend date of Saturday, October 14, 2023. I have included the maximum number of guests that the reserved seating option can accommodate.

Family Pool

Depending on which pool entrance you enter the pool deck by, the Family Pool may be the first pool you run into. This pool is perfect for families with young children as it has an expansive splash pool area with water features for the younger guests to enjoy.

A convenient feature of this pool is its proximity to Bites, a snack bar that allows for quick and simple light food options. If you plan on reserving a cabana by this pool I advise you to book one early as there are only three available by this pool.

To see how the Resort World’s pool deck compares to the new Fontainebleau in the area of being family-friendly, in addition to many other comparisons, check out my Oasis Pool Deck comparison post.

Bimini Pool

Enjoy a swim at the Bimini Pool, or enjoy time on the surrounding lawns playing such games as Corn-Hole or giant Connect Four. If you prefer to be a bit closer to the Bimini Bar then try your hand at ping pong or foosball which are located just a bit closer to the bar, and offer a bit more shade. This pool also features a hot tub just off to the side of the pool by the Bimini Bar. Although reserved seating options are available by this pool, online bookings are not available. Reservations at this pool must be made on-property.

Cabana Pool

The Cabana Pool is the circular pool located just behind the center of the Main Pool, directly across from Agave Bar and Grill. Although there are cabanas and loungers available to rent around this pool, only Crockford Hotel guests are eligible to rent the loungers. All other guests who would like seating around this pool must opt for a cabana rental.

Below is a sample of reserved seating options at the Cabana Pool. The prices were as of September 28, 2023, for the midweek date of October 11 and the weekend date of October 14, 2023. I have included the maximum number of guests that the reserved seating option can accommodate.

Athena Infinity Ultra Pool

The entrance to the Athena Infinity Ultra Pool is located between the Cabana Pool and The Family Pool. Reservations are required to enter this Adult Only VIP section. When you first enter this Adult Only pool area you first come across the VIP Pool Bar where you can enjoy a well-shaded area to cool off in. The drinks I must say are fantastic.

There are two pools in this area. As you walk from the bar you will first encounter a pool that offers a variety of reserved seating options, including cabanas and floating daybeds. If you continue on down a small set of stairs you reach the Infinity Pool.

All seating at these pool areas is reserved seating, with the usual reservation cost being split 50% rental fee and 50% F&B minimum spend. Below is a sample of reserved seating options at the Athena Infinity Ultra Pool. The prices were as of September 28, 2023, for the midweek date of October 11 and the weekend date of October 14, 2023. I have included the maximum number of guests that each of the reserved seating options can accommodate.

Ayu Dayclub

Ayu Dayclub is Resorts Worlds’ 21 and over pool party venue. Security is really strict about showing them your valid government-issued ID, as well as making sure you are not bringing in any prohibited items. When I was there males were getting a pretty thorough “pat down” while the women were searched via a hand wand metal detector.

This luxury bohemian dayclub is the perfect place to unwind from all the stressors in your life. Spend the day with your old friends making new ones, even if it is just for a short time. There is no shortage of energy at this dayclub, with top tier DJs including, RL Grime, Zedd, and Tay James. The amenities are top-class, the drinks are spectacular and the reserved seating is very upscale.
