Hard Rock pool

Featuring five acres of desert paradise, the pool area at the Hard Rock Hotel provides the ideal getaway for every vacationer. 

Catering to all guests, the pool area at the Hard Rock features two sections: the wild and crazy party at Rehab and the quieter, more serene ambience at HRH Beach Club. 

Every Sunday during the summer months, the Rehab pool area transforms into an energizing beach club party playing the latest in hip-hop and dance music. Special performances and model searches add to the craziness. Even on the other days of the week, this section plays loud, energizing music to keep the party going. And to bring out the kid in you, the Rehab pool area also includes a water slide and a lazy river. A favorite among the younger crowd, there is just too much to do here -- you won't be napping anytime soon. 

For those who want to escape the loud, energizing atmosphere of Rehab pool, guests can enjoy the tranquility of HRH Beach Club, located only a few steps away. Located in front of the all-suite HRH Tower, the HRH Beach Club is a lot more calm and includes a sandy beach area, a main pool and a cold plunge, which is perfect when the temperature hits triple digits. Additional amenities at the beach club include spa villas (where you can enjoy sunscreen application and massage services) and a café.

While you're dining at the café at HRH Beach Club, you'll notice there are three peek-a-boo windows on the ceiling. Look up and you'll actually see people swimming at the pool at Skybar, the pool lounge located just above HRH Beach Club. 

Just a flight of stairs away, Skybar's two-level pool club features a pool on each floor, one featuring glass bottom windows. So if you're swimming here, make sure you're decent because your friends at the café below can see see your every move!

In addition to the two pools, the upscale Skybar features a bar, comfortable seating, live entertainment on select nights and breathtaking views of the Strip.

Rehab and HRH Beach Club both include swim-up blackjack tables, Tahitian-style cabanas, daybeds and plenty of palm trees. Both pools have a sandy bottom, so it almost feels like you're swimming in a real ocean. Almost. 

Whether you're here to party or want to recover from the party last night, the pool at the Hard Rock has got you covered.
