Popular amongst both locals and tourists alike, any excuse to escape your work, the convention you are supposed to attend, or even lunch with the boss will suffice as you prepare for the weekend ahead by relaxing at the Palms Hotel’s $40 Million dollar pool area. Coolest feature? This is one of the few Vegas pool parties where most of the crowd isn’t afraid that getting in the pool will mess up their hair. So come up with an excuse and get to the Palms.

Bare Pool - Mirage Hotel and Casino
