The Las Vegas heat is here, and you need to cool off!

We knew it was coming, and it’s only going to get hotter and hotter in the Las Vegas Valley throughout the summer. The AC is going to be cranked for a while.

Lots of Las Vegas residents have pools, but many do not. So they’d like a way to cool off too. No need to worry, because several resorts around the Las Vegas Valley now allow area residents into their resort pool areas, and believe it or not — some even for free. What? FREE? In LAS VEGAS? Yes.

And honestly – you live in Las Vegas, so why not get out there and do what everyone else comes to Las Vegas to do! Grab a towel, a lounge chair, a Pina Colada, and take a load off, and relax at one of the luxurious pools!

Here are a few resort pools in Las Vegas that will let you in without a hotel reservation. There are different types of promotions offered to locals, so read through. And make sure you have your ID, because you will need to show proof of residency via that Nevada ID.
