The Pool at Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas

"The more casual Mozen Bistro features both Asian and continental cuisine, while the secluded pool deck oasis also has its own cafe"

"The pool: Tucked next to the parking structure for Aria, the Mandarin pool is both intimate and exclusive"

"Two lap pools, a plunge pool, and two Jacuzzis float above the glittering CityCenter complex on the eighth floor offer every manner of pampering (think free mini-smoothies, snacks and attendants to clean your sunglasses), while the Asian-inspired spa proves equally indulgent, with 17 treatment rooms, a salon, a yoga studio and a series of heat and water experiences — steam rooms, a hammam, a laconium, an ice fountain and plunge pools — for guests to relax in before or after treatments"

"The property lacks a casino, though, and the two pools don’t have enough lounge chairs to meet demand"

"Guests can enjoy relaxing in a poolside cabana near one of the two outdoor lap or plunge pools"

" The 27,000 square foot spa boasts a beautiful pool deck with two lap pools"

""Marvel at the madness that is Vegas without getting involved in it" at this "unreal" yet "serene" casino-free hotel on the Strip boasting "true luxury" and a staff that "treats you like royalty"; the "modern" Asian-themed rooms and suites are "stunning" and feature soaking tubs and high-tech amenities, though only some offer Strip views from the floor-to-ceiling windows; toss in "delicious" food at the five in-house restaurants, an "outstanding" pool area and the impressive Sky Lobby and you get a total package that loyalists rave is "wow, wow, wow" and "worth the price"

"A two-floor spa includes 17 treatment rooms, a Chinese foot spa and a pool deck"

"Spectacular Strip and city views are a theme throughout the hotel; a whirlpool with a view, anyone?"

"From there, you can expect swimming pools, a spa, 23rd-floor tea lounge, a Pierre Gagnaire restaurant and huge rooms"
