The 4.5 acre 'Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis' in Caesars Palace is a Roman-themed luxury haven, where you can relax, away from the hectic activity on the Strip. The Garden of the Gods has 3 luxury swimming pools, two jacuzzis, fountains and beautiful green lawns.

The pools are all different and therefore there is something to suit all tastes. The main pool, the 'Temple Pool', features marble columns and mosaics, and provides a fun and lively epicenter for the whole Garden of the Gods pool area, while the rectangular 'Neptune Pool' is ideal for serious swimmers who want to swim laps. Alternatively, for those who prefer a quieter pool experience, the 'Venus Pool' provides a serene and relaxing environment.

There are bars serving drinks and snacks around the whole pool area, and for additional privacy and pampering, guests can rent out luxury cabanas.

The Hard Rock Hotel's 'Beach Club' is a beautiful meandering pool with real sand beaches, landscaped rocks and towering palm trees.
