Vegas Pools in November: Which Are Still Open (and Free)
November is the month most Vegas visitors assume the pools are done — and for the party pools, they are right. Encore Beach Club, OMNIA Dayclub, TAO Beach, LIV Beach, Drai's, and
Liquid all finished their seasons in October. The Flamingo GO Pool closed November 2. If you
show up in November expecting a dayclub, you will find a locked gate.
But the pools are not all closed. About ten resorts keep at least one heated pool open all winter, and one downtown pool runs 365 days a year. The catch is that the rules change in November: the pool is open, the party is not, and the free part depends on where you are staying. Here is what is actually open, what it costs, and how to get in free.
The One Pool That Never Closes: Stadium Swim at Circa
Open 365 days, 8am to 11pm: Six pools across three levels, facing a 143-foot video wall, heated to 94 to 104 degrees in winter, with the hot tubs at 100. Winter season runs November 1 through February 28, and the cabanas get heaters and robes. This is the only year-round pool amphitheater in Las Vegas, and in November it is the only real pool party left — college football on Saturdays, NFL on Sundays, Monday Night Football.
The price: $25.99 for non-guests: General admission for the full day, 8am to 11pm, runs $25.99 including taxes and fees on Vegas.com, with weekday listings at $25. That is the only non-guest day admission in town in November — every other pool on this list is guests-only. Circa, The D, and Golden Gate hotel guests get in free, with two complimentary passes per stay.
The catch: 21 and over only: Circa is an adults-only resort, and Stadium Swim is strictly 21-plus with a valid government ID. Families need the next section, not this one.
The Hotel Pools That Stay Open All Winter (Free for Guests)
Bellagio — open, reduced deck, 9am to 5pm: Five pools and four whirlpools in the courtyard, heated, with individual pools rotating out for maintenance in winter — expect part of the deck, not all of it.
Caesars Palace — the Venus Pool, 9am to 5pm: Caesars' own FAQ confirms the Venus Pool stays open year-round while the rest of the Garden of the Gods closes for the season. Adults only, 21 and over.
The Venetian and Palazzo — both decks open, 9am to 5pm: The two decks connect, so guests get the run of both. Select pools are heated through fall and winter.
Aria — the Sky Pool, 9am to 5pm: The deck shrinks to one pool in winter — the Sky Pool becomes the winter pool for all Aria guests. LIQUID Pool Lounge is closed for the season.
MGM Grand — the main pool, reduced hours: The 6.5-acre complex shrinks to its main pool for winter. The lazy river typically shuts in November, and Palm Tree Beach Club is closed until March 2027.
Mandalay Bay — one heated lagoon pool: The 11-acre Beach, with the wave pool and lazy river, is closed for winter. One heated lagoon pool stays open for guests — and the 21-plus Tailgate Beach Club, with three heated pools, runs on weekend and game-day hours through the Super Bowl on February 14, 2027.
The Cosmopolitan — the Chelsea Pool: The Chelsea Pool, on level 14 of the Chelsea Tower, is the hotel's year-round heated pool. The Boulevard Pool is closed for the season. Marquee Dayclub runs under a heated dome on winter weekends, Thursday through Sunday from 11am.
Wynn and Encore — two Wynn pools, 10am to 4pm: Two Wynn pools stay open; the Wynn resort pool and the Encore pool are closed for the season.
Resorts World, Plaza, Downtown Grand, The D: Resorts World's pool deck stays open year-round. Downtown, the Plaza's rooftop pool is open year-round, the Downtown Grand's Citrus Grand Pool Deck stays open through winter, and The D's small pool and hot tub stay open year-round.
The Free Play
Every pool in the section above is free — if you are staying at that hotel. That is the whole trick to a free November swim: book the hotel with the winter pool, not the hotel with the best rate and no pool. A $20 cheaper room at a hotel whose pool is closed costs more than the room at the hotel where the pool is open and included. And if you are not staying overnight, Stadium Swim at $25.99 is the only door that opens — everything else on this list checks room keys.
Before You Go
Confirm the day before you swim. Individual pools rotate out for maintenance in the off-season, hours shrink, and some pools only open when the air is warm enough — Green Valley Ranch keeps part of its pool open only when the air temperature is over 65 degrees, and South Point's pool stays open year-round but stops being heated in October.
The water is there in November. The vibe is not — the bars, the music, and the food service mostly shut down with the season. Pack a towel, expect a quiet deck, and enjoy the one month of the year when a Vegas pool feels like it belongs to you.
