Hi, No if you book a Daybed you will get access to the pool. If you are staying at MGM you get access anyway.

Does this mean booking a daybed, we do not need an admission ticket as well?

Your info is great! Were staying at the MGM double queen room with view. Should I request a certain tower closer to everthing? We can bring our own bottled water in to the pool and some snacks? What about a mini speaker? Going on a Monday 10am in August, was hoping to avoid paying for a chair, but worth it to me since want a shady lounger….was hoping crowds will drop off on a weekday. How do you know when you plop down if it is already reserved by someone else? Are only the umbrella loungers the reserved kind? Def doing lazy river, sounds like east or west great

Hi,

Honestly, we have never heard this asked before!

The Day Bed do come with a kind of sausage pillow that allows some incline, and you can add more with the copious amounts of towels provided, but we really can’t see why they would also not allow a pillow in.

House Keeping might be a little more upset about it, assuming you are taking one of theirs, but we suppose what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

It certainly would not hurt to try, if they for some reason did not allow you, and there is nothing in the terms and conditions, the worst case would be a quick trip back up to your room.

Have fun

Yes you get some great sun at MGM in the afternoon. The deck is a real sun trap, there are no tall buildings in the immediate vicinity.

Its not the side of the road that dictates the sun but the position in relation to the tall buildings due to the low winter sun, the Bellagio for example can be really shady in the afternoon.

As there is nothing tall to get in the way of the sun the MGM pool is excellent…its not really near the strip at all.

There are lots of trees so you need to shift about to stay in the sun. But you will get plenty of rays.

Have a great time

It’s possible, but not very likely, you can always ask, but it would be a bit like walking into a car dealer and asking for the price to be reduced by 50%…

Unless you are planning on gambling a large amount, then they are willing to do anything for you, if you gamble enough

Hi Libby,

It looks like Signature Guests are now allowed to use the Main MGM pools as well as their own exclusive tower pool, we have heard firsthand this is the case but it is not directly mentioned on the Signature or MGM Grand sites.

We will update our article to reflect this thanks.

Just to confirm, you will need your room key to access any of the pools, this is how they confirm you are a guest at the resort. Standard Practice in Vegas, otherwise anyone could just walk into the pool decks.
