Of all the times I've been to Vegas, I've never really visited any pool. Kinda amazing, huh? I'm not asking about Liquid, but the regular pool(s). I have a few questions: How many are there? Can you bring your own drinks? If not, what is the price range for say, a beer at the bar? Are there shaded areas? I'm already tan as it is, lol. Do I have to pay for lounging chairs? Outdoor gambling? Hours?
http://www.arialasvegas.com/amenities/pool.aspx That has almost answers to all your questions. There are plenty of chairs (unless you are there on a holiday weekend, but even memorial day wasn't too bad this year) and also many umbrellas and areas for shade. As for drinks, I usually get the mixed drinks there and those are about $15? They vary in size and are way overpriced but they don't let you bring drinks in.
Overall I really liked the Aria pool area. Beer price from the bar was about $7-10, if I remember correctly. They had beer bucket specials. Don't think you can bring your own drinks. There are many shady areas, do a scouting trip the afternoon before if possible to figure out where they'll be, as they shift as the day progresses. I didn't see any gambling areas in the main pool. No cost for lounge chairs.
3 seperate pools plus LIQUID party pool. I think the mixed drinks were about $12 and they had buckets of beer specials. There are plenty of chairs and towels as you walk in. They were checking some peoples bags to see if theye were trying to smuggle booze into the pool aria. There is a bar,in addition to waitress' wandering the pool area.There is also a cafe outside.
We brought in a flask and no one really said anything. Maybe they have gotten stricter with checking? I paid $22 for a "extra large" margarita there. Drinks were not cheap.
I called and had the same questions all have answered correctly. FYI - $500 for a rental of a cabana with no F&B min.
