The Pool at Caesars Palace

"Although its colossal size can make it a baffling labyrinth to negotiate, the top-class spa, entertainment, pools, restaurants and fantastic shopping at the Forum ranks Caesars among the best bets in town"

"Tucked away in the corner, Jupiter pool is the most secluded and quiet, but Bacchus is secluded in its own way, reserved for the high rollers, invited guests, and celebrities"

"If you book in the warmer months, ask to be near the complex of pools, which is laid out like an aquamarine village and includes a pool with swim-up poker tables"

"Guests in need of a bit more zen should opt for an in-cabana massage at the Jupiter Pool"

"Expect towers of oversized rooms with marble bathrooms, Nobu boutique hotel and the Garden of the Gods pool complex"

"Since 1966, the 2,419-room Caesars Palace has defined excess on the Strip -- a massive spa with Roman baths; elaborate mosaics and classical architecture around the pools; one of the biggest casinos in Vegas"

"And though sections of the eight-pool, five-acre Garden of the Gods pool complex could burn young eyeballs, there are plenty of family-friendly areas, too"

"While the pool draws a crowd only in summer, the ever-expanding Forum Shops pulls visitors year-round"

"Decadent pool area scatters statuary and mosaics around lap pools, wading pools, and pools for topless sunbathing, all overseen by a staff of studly gladiators"

"Supporters hail this “glitzy and over-the-top” Strip “classic” for being “elegant and extraordinary”, with “something happening every minute you are there” -- from “outstanding” entertainment (Celine Dion, for one) to “exceptional” restaurants (Nobu, Gordon Ramsay), “exquisite” pools and “heavenly” shopping; the “ humongous” property “should have its own zip code”, but the “beautiful” accommodations boast “luxurious modern conveniences” and the "polite" staff "makes sure to take care of you"
