But don’t be put off by the elegant setting; the Bellagio pool is kid-friendly, too! Here is our honest review after many stays at this Vegas resort, plus lots of Bellagio pool pictures and everything you need to know about visiting the pools at Bellagio Las Vegas.

The current summer hours are Monday through Sunday, 8 am to 7 pm.
Lounge in Luxury at the Bellagio Pools
Spending time at the pool is one of the most popular things to do in Las Vegas during the daytime, so choosing a hotel with a great pool area is important!
I visit Las Vegas quite often and have experienced more than my fair share of resort pools. The Bellagio pool remains a favorite for a variety of reasons, which I will share here to help you plan your visit, as well!
The pool deck at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas is opulent and relaxing, but also offers plenty of space to move around and you won’t feel out of place bringing kids.
There are five pools plus four whirlpools in a lushly landscaped, Italian garden setting.
► Travel Insight
If you would like to find a spot on the pool deck that gets the most shade, head to the back area where the resort tower provides shade until at least noon each day.
The Bellagio Las Vegas pool offers a serene, al fresco experience, with fountains, statues, lush landscaping, citrus trees, and tiled pathways that will make you feel like you’re in a beautiful Mediterranean village.
Many other Las Vegas pools have a party atmosphere – which is great if that’s your thing! But if you are looking for a more relaxed setting, the Bellagio may be the perfect choice. That’s not to say the pool area is calm and quiet – it can still get a little loud and crowded on weekends (in the main pool especially) and there are plenty of people sipping drinks in the pool, but the overall atmosphere stays pretty classy.
I also love that the Bellagio pools have a misting system that keeps the area cool, especially on those hot summer Vegas afternoons!
The elegant outdoor setting truly keeps with Bellagio Resort & Casino’s overarching theme of European elegance, which starts with the resort’s most famous feature – the iconic Bellagio Fountain Show.
Despite its refined atmosphere, there are always plenty of kids romping in the pools, and it is never an issue. Somehow, it all works.
None of the pools are terribly deep, and there are nice ledges all around the edges to you can sit and relax while staying cool under the hot desert sun. The smaller pools all have fountains.
Bellagio Cypress Pool
Does Bellagio have an adults only pool? The answer is yes!
If you are looking for a quiet escape from kids and don’t mind spending a little extra, treat yourself to a day at the Cypress Pool. Located in a secluded garden setting, the Cypress Pool at the Bellagio is an adults-only retreat offering the ultimate poolside experience. The Cypress Pool retreat features 60 premium chaise lounge chairs and four day beds available by reservation, starting at $175 per person.
It’s a nice splurge, but in my honest (aka cheap) opinion not really worth it. Plus, the Cypress Pool is fairly small, though it does have a lovely fountain you can stand under.
This exclusive poolside experience comes with access to a personal host and elevated amenities, such as complimentary infused water, umbrellas, side table, and misters. The Bellagio Cypress Pool is only for guests age 18 or older.
Bellagio Cabana Rentals
If you have the budget, renting a cabana is the ideal way to enjoy the day in pure relaxation. Lounge poolside in a serene, Mediterranean-style setting. There are 51 private cabanas available. Bellagio pool cabanas ensure you will have shade, privacy, exceptional service, and an array of upscale amenities.
Cabana rental rates start at $450 per day.

Food & Drink Options at the Bellagio Pool
The Bellagio has a wonderful restaurant by the pool called Como Poolside Café & Bar. It serves breakfast, lunch, and of course drinks. There is cushy seating in the shads and misters.
Como offers a relaxed setting with views of the pools and artfully formed citrus and parterre gardens. Options include, sandwiches, salads, Mediterranean cuisine, sushi, seafood, and more. It is a bit pricey, but this is the Bellagio, after all!
Check out the full Como Poolside Café & Bar Menu for prices and offerings.
