Las Vegas Cabana Rental

[Anonymous]

DH and I are traveling to Las Vegas this summer with kids and staying at the Venetian. We’re planning to rent a cabana for the day and we’re deciding between a regular cabana and one with a plunge pool. Regular is $1700 per day plus $1500 food and beverage minimum. Plunge pool cabana is $2200 per day plus $1500 food and beverage minimum.

Anyone have any experience with Venetian cabanas? We’re leaning towards the plunge pool option, but not sure if it’s worth it.

Also concerned about hitting the $1500 food and beverage minimum for just four people. Thinking a few bottles of Dom Perignon would do the trick, but would prefer a caviar service mixed in for good measure. Don’t see a caviar service on the cabana menu – anyone have experience ordering this as a custom option? Price point?

That’s quite a splurge - I’m sure it will be fun! I’ve only rented the 4-personal daybeds and found it to be worth every penny.

I live in arizona and go to vegas -- it is going to be SO HOT, a dry heat, but SO HOT... do the cabana over the day bed that time of year, you need shade. I would skip the plunge pool and spend 500$ elsewhere.

Why? The pool is tiny.

I’m confused, aren’t the cabanas already near the pool? I haven’t been to this specific hotel.

The pools in Vegas are dirtier than pools anywhere. They are full of drunk people who pee in then. I would never spend time at a Vegas pool.

I'd choose the one that would require the least amount of interaction with other tourists.

The Venetian pool is boring and there is no shade. I would look into getting a day pass and cabana at someplace more fun and interesting.

$3,000 for a cabana?!?!?! Even if I was swimming in money….no thanks. My kids, while they like pools, usually only last a couple hours. Maybe they would like pools more if I got a cabana? I don’t think that’s happening.

No way I would spend this with my family. Most kids don't like plunge pools and laying on loungers - they will want to be off in the big pool and moving around. Not worth it.

I love summer and water of any kind and always discounted the "it's SO HOT" naysayers. Until we went to Arizona last summer. Even with shade and buckets of ice water, the pool water is like bath temperature and I just could not stand the heat. I had to flee back to the boring (but beautiful) hotel room to cool off. For the same money, take a private helicopter tour with touchdown in the Grand Canyon. Or check out the best seats for a great show (check out the Sphere or Colosseum). Have a family outing to a suite at Chase Field (covered ballpark).

Whenever you need to reach a food and beverage minimum.....get the shellfish tower!

Are cabanas just a flex? I can’t see how $3000 for one day at a pool could ever be worth it.

For a bachelorette party or something? A girl's weekend? Yes. Absolutely. For a family? No. The kids won't be eating the caviar and Dom that high food/drink minimum are going to require, either.
