If you crave a memorable pool experience in Las Vegas, you might want to consider sojourning at Caesars Palace. The resort has recently expanded its Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis to include five multi-layer pools in addition to the existing three: Neptune, Venus and Temple. And, in following with true Roman tradition, the newest pools bear appellations of the gods. Apollo, Fortuna, Jupiter and Bacchus (which consists of two side-by-side pools) offer such amenities as an 18-foot waterfall and swim-up gaming (waterproof money belts aren’t included). But, baking under the desert sun wouldn’t be complete without a cocktail or 10, which is why Caesar’s has thrown a roving margarita and mojito cart into the mix. Also, pool goers have the option of choosing a simple reclining chair or renting one of the 40 high-tech cabanas. Only in Sin City would poolside cabanas include wi-fi, DVD players, I-pod decks, stocked refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. Cabana amenities also include massages and frozen towels.
