Vegas Pools Open in November?
 
I'm going to Vegas next week and the forcast says 70's. Do the pools in Vegas stay open during the winter months? I'm staying at the Palms hotel.

Thanks!

HI-really not trying to be flip, but is there any reason not to call the hotel's 800 number and just ask them directly? Seems to be the quickest and most reliable way to get the info. :)

Some of the hotels keep a pool open and heated all year long, I believe. You could try the Palms website and see if they mention it.

I beleive there are only a couple that have heated pools, not sure about the palms.
We went in Nov. a couple of years ago and it was too chilly for the pool!

All I can say with certainty is that the Excalibur pool is open nearly year-round, so it's almost certainly open in November (was open the last time I visited LV, which was in February).

Most close in the winter.

HI--all this speculating is so easily resolved....just called Palms and they told me that pool is already "closed for the season".

Taking the easy way out, huh, socialworker? :)

You guys think that is bad, that the hotel pools are already closed....We live here in Vegas and we frequent the community/rec center pools & waterparks. They close for the season, the day before school starts. So, for example school this year started Aug. 30, the last day the pool was open was Aug. 29! They were open on the Sat. & Sun. of Labor Day weekend, but as you probably know it is still well in the 100's into September...so yes we are still sweltering in Sept. and Oct. and no pools to go to.
They do this because the majority of their lifeguards are high school students.

I just came back from LV yesterday... the pools were still open from 10am or 11am until 5pm... BUT I tell you it was too cold for any dip in the pool.

Bring warm clothing....the weather is very sporatic...first 2 days were quite cool but the last 2 days were warm...but very cool in the evening.

Some are, some aren't, just call your hotel in advance. We were at the Sahara three years ago in November (around the 10th), and the pool was still open. Although it was only in the upper 60's, so only my son went swimming. It was heated, yet he was the only one in the pool.

I found the pools to be open 50/50. I can't give specifics (i'm pretty sure sahara and mirage were open as well as others), but some were definitely closed off for the season.
