With 100+ degree temperatures, the dog days of summer have arrived in Las Vegas. How are you staying cool?

You probably answered: The pool – duh! Some of you are probably even reading this on your iPad while lounging in 80-degree waters.

Well, if you don’t have your own backyard oasis to retreat to, the newly opened Wet ‘n’ Wild isn’t the only place to have some fun in the sun this summer. A number of resorts around town allow locals entry to their pool areas for a modest fee, and some even offer complimentary access.

So forget about that stash of old room keys you’ve been collecting over the years—there are plenty of places to cool off without sweating the security guards. With that, we present this handy guide to hotel pools that offer admission to non-hotel guests.

Note: Many resorts also offer entry to non-hotel guests with the purchase of a cabana or daybed, though this list is strictly limited to resorts that offer basic access to their pools.
