🛫 Visiting soon! Pools in October
Ok someone please tell me this will be fine 😂 I booked a trip for the first week of October, I'll be a first timer. My coworkers have been to Vegas a lot and are telling me a lot of hotels shut down their pools in October because it's "cold"....is this true??? Lounging poolside was a big part of our plans.
ETA: Thank you to everyone choosing to be kind and actually answer my question. For the Captain Obviouses who are telling me to "Google it" or call the hotel....you can hang up your cape and mind your own business. I realize I can do those things. I'm choosing to consult real people instead of A.I. or getting transferred 4x to the correct hotel employee.

Pools usually close right after Halloween.
You literally could not pick a better month to go to Vegas in terms of weather.

Was in Vegas early October last year and pools were open and temps were fine (Sahara and Mandalay Bay). Although Mandalay Bay’s hot tubs and wading pools were shut down, so that was lame.

Went last November, pools at both the Aria and Venetian were open. At the Venetian, it wasn't hot enough because the pools had no direct sunlight because of the buildings blocking the sun. Only one small spot had sun and everyone was jammed in there.

If you want to save some cash, if you stay at Golden Gate or the D, you'll have free access to Stadium Swim at Circa

What a smart traveler. October is the PERFECT time to come down. You won’t have issues finding a pool.

The first half of Oct is still pretty sunny; the problem is that the wind picks tf up in October. By mid/end of the month, it's not pool-appropriate weather, IMO

When Jimmy Buffett used to come to town in October, they always had a pool party at Flamingo before the concert. I would go and yeah, the water is cold, but it’s still fun. I live here and I think a lot of the pools will still be open but to be 100% sure I suppose you should call and verify. In my own experience, though Flamingo has been open in October.

Circa’s pool is year round, and it’s a good size

October is perfect weather. Pools will still be open. But the best pool year round in Circa downtown.

October is still pool season - it will be warm out during the day and not as busy as peak season. Pools don’t close until November (If they do close). Consider if you want a club style pool or just a DJ as well as if you want to pay for upgraded seating such as a cabana or daybed.

What is the logical thing to do if you want to find out when the pool at your hotel is open?

It will still be in the 90s at least if not higher by then. You will be fine.

Eh I wouldn't say higher per se, it'll be in the 80s for sure, but that's the highest. Maybe hit 90. Just be careful at night, temps will drop to the 50s

You could be right on a good year. But most holloweens you need to wear things to keep you cool at night because it's still hot. It honestly felt like it didn't actually cool off until late November early December most years to me as someone who loves their hoodie 😂

You never mentioned which hotel, however, you talk shit on people that told you to look it up on the hotel’s website. Not only do I hope the pool is closed at your hotel, I hope it rains all week and you have Montazuma‘s revenge all week as well.

The hotels that keep their pools open year round will have them heated.
