Clothing: pack for desert days and cooler evenings
Las Vegas is hot in summer and mild in spring/fall; daytime temperatures can be very warm while nights cool down. Plan layers so you can be comfortable walking the Strip or inside temperature-controlled venues.
Bring sun-protective items for daytime—hat, sunglasses and light, breathable clothing—and at least one warmer layer for air-conditioned restaurants, the casino floor or cooler evenings.
- Light shirts, shorts, sundresses for daytime
- Light jacket or sweater for evenings/indoor AC
- Comfortable walking shoes for the Strip and nearby shopping
- Smart-casual outfit if you plan THE Steakhouse or nicer restaurants
| Season | What to pack |
|---|---|
| Summer (July) | Breathable daytime clothes, sun hat, sandals, evening layer |
| Spring/Fall | Mix of shorts and long pants, light jacket, comfortable shoes |
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | Long pants, warmer jacket for nights, closed-toe shoes |
Pool & Splash Zone checklist (seasonal access)
Registered guests receive free access to the outdoor pools and Splash Zone; wristbands are issued per room for entry. Pools at the Skyrise tower are seasonal and are heated to about 80°F, with depths roughly 3–6 feet.
Pack swimwear, sunscreen and a quick-dry towel; the property provides pool towels and has lifeguards on duty. If you expect to use inner tubes or reserve a cabana, note that tubes/rafts can be rented and cabanas are bookable.
- Swimsuit and cover-up
- High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm
- Water-resistant sandals and a sun hat
- Swim diapers if needed; adult supervision required for young children
- Small waterproof pouch for phone/ID or a locker
| Pool facts | Notes |
|---|---|
| Access | Free for registered guests with wristband |
| Hours | Splash Zone generally ~9 AM–5 PM; slide tower opens later and may extend hours in summer; seasonal closures possible |
| Safety | Children 6 and under must be supervised; height minimums apply for slides |
Theme-park and Carnival Midway: what kids will need
The Adventuredome indoor theme park is about a 5-minute walk from the hotel and features rides including a large roller coaster. The Carnival Midway above the casino hosts free circus acts and carnival-style games daily.
For the Adventuredome and arcade areas, bring comfortable shoes, small cash or a play card for games, and any height-measure/ID required by specific rides. The hotel enforces ride height minimums for certain waterslides at the Splash Zone as well.
- Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes for rides
- Light backpack for snacks, sunscreen and water
- Cash or play card for Carnival Midway games and arcade (play-card readers are used onsite)
- Child ID or a photo of guardians for quick reunification
| Attraction | Notes |
|---|---|
| Adventuredome | Indoor theme park — roughly a 5-minute walk; roller coaster and rides |
| Carnival Midway | Free circus acts and games above the casino |
| Arcade / Games | Bring cash or use on-site play cards |
In-room essentials and room types to consider
Standard in-room amenities include wireless internet (covered by the resort fee), cable TV, hairdryer, iron/ironing board and an in-room safe. If you need a refrigerator or coffee maker, choose a room type that lists those features (for example, West Tower Deluxe with Refrigerator or West Tower Executive with Refrigerator/Coffee Maker).
If you’re traveling with family, check room types such as Skyrise Family Tower Room (2 Queen Beds) or Manor Room (1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds). Pet travelers should confirm pet rules before arrival if they booked a West Tower/Dog Friendly Room.
- Phone charger and small power strip (hotel rooms have limited outlets)
- Toiletries you prefer — basic hairdryer and soap are provided
- Small first-aid kit and any prescription meds
- If you need a fridge/coffee maker, reserve one of the named room types that include them
| Room name | Typical bedding or feature |
|---|---|
| Skyrise Family Tower Room | 2 Queen Beds |
| Manor Room | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds |
| West Tower Deluxe with Refrigerator | 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds + refrigerator |
Family extras, pets and accessibility
Children of all ages are welcome; kids 11 and under typically stay free when sharing existing bedding with a paying adult. Pool and Splash Zone rules require adult supervision for young children and enforce height minimums for slides.
Pet policies are inconsistently reported across listings; the hotel does offer West Tower dog-friendly rooms, but travelers with pets should confirm current rules, fees and any weight limits with the property before arrival. For mobility needs, accessible features and a pool hoist are available — check with the hotel for specific accessible-room types.
- Pack snacks, familiar toys, and a travel stroller if you rely on one
- Bring printed documentation for service animals or pet reservations if applicable
- If you require accessible features, request and confirm the specific accessible room type in advance
| Family / Pet item | Tip |
|---|---|
| Children under 12 | May eat from kid-friendly buffet options; check venue hours |
| Pets | West Tower Dog Friendly rooms exist — confirm with the hotel |
| Accessibility | Accessible rooms and pool hoist available — request ahead |
