Las Vegas weather can be draining during record highs. We love the Las Vegas valley but on certain days a cool escape can be so appealing. We gathered the best activities and adventures to cool down during triple digit days.
Take in the beautiful outdoors down the Colorado River by way of kayak with Evolution Expeditions. Single kayaks or tandem kayaks are available to float you through the canyons down the river. The water is cold even on the hottest of days so a quick cool down is just a dip away. Hot springs are also available in pockets along the edges of the river if the river water has you chilled to the bone.

In true Las Vegas summer vacation, hit the beachclubs or dayclubs. Watch your favorite DJ while enjoying bottle service at the cabana with misters. If you get too hot, dip into the pool with the rest of the party and dance to the songs that make you want to move while you catch some Las Vegas sun rays.

If the volume of people at the dayclubs and beachclubs is unappealing, lay out and dip into the resort pools. The Caesars Palace Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis is one of the most stunning pools on the strip. Family friendly yet if you would like to have a little extra fun, the pool cocktail menu has refreshing options by the glass or in pitchers. If children are not a part of your ideal pool day, the pool oasis has adult only pools and lounges like the Venus Pool + Lounge. Check out Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa and JW Marriot Las Vegas Resort & Spa for off the strip resort pools with a quieter and more tranquil pool day than the dayclub can provide.

For an even more private pool experience, opt for a penthouse or villa that has a private infinity pool. If you would rather control who your company is, the food and music this may be a great option. Make your pool day as quiet or wild as you like at your personal villa or penthouse pool. Dream Penthouse at Palms Place has an infinity pool that juts out from the balcony to admire the beautiful view of the city lights and sunset.
