Visiting Las Vegas? Here are the top-ten best pools in Las Vegas - take your pick!

The best pool has to be at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. This 3,300 room resort is a tropical pleasure palace featuring 62 acres of vibrant green foliage and relaxing waterfalls. Amidst the mythical architecture, the resort offers four pools, one of which is reserved for VIP guests.  There is also an oval shaped river that takes you lazily around a lush tropical island with an abundance of palms and waterfalls.  The third pool, and probably the best of the four, is simply known as ‘The Beach’.  Here, 1700 tonnes of Californian sand has been imported especially to make this beach area, with several lagoons from where you can get away from it all!.The fourth, and main pool offers the only wave pool in Vegas.  With waves up to six feet high, it is particularly popular with body surfers.
