The Pool at ARIA Sky Suites

"Weekday rates can make this a real bargain though, especially if you have the time – and the weather – to enjoy the superb pool complex"

"Suite guests enjoy such niceties as a private entrance and elevator, a pool exclusively for Sky Suites guests, and a lounge with a daily wine and cheese reception, not to mention front-of-line passes for the buffet"

"The pools: There are three ellipse-shape pools on a secluded pool deck"

"This mega-hotel at the CityCenter has all the fixings: more than 4,000 rooms in a Five Diamond hotel, 16 restaurants, three pools, and a spa where you can recline on Japanese stone beds"

"Its Sky Suites, with their separate indoor and outdoor entrances to the hotel and casino—and a new pool for Suite guests only—lets guests stay close to all the action, the incredible CityCenter art collection, and the 80,000-square-foot spa, but still feel like they're in a boutique hotel"

"There is also a private pool with a spacious deck furnished with upscale loungers and plenty of shade in the form of lemon-yellow umbrellas"

"Being a 'Sky' guest buys you status (assuming you don't have it already), access to the exclusive Sky Pool and Sky-only lounges, off-the-charts amenities, table reservations at Jewel nightclub, private chauffeurs and butler service (villas only)"

"In addition to the spa's therapy pool, there are three swimming pools"
