The Smith Boys Enjoy The Shark Tank Pool, Golden Nugget, Las Vegas
Las Vegas is know for its amazing pools. I’ve only had a chance to see and/or experience about four of them. From what I’ve seen so far ,The Golden Nugget should definately be on your must stay list if you value a fun, kid friendly pool.

This lovely pool is completely shallow all the away around. It encircles a giant fish tank filled with large colorful fish and even a few sharks. A highlight for the adults and older kids is a water slide that passes directly through the tank. It is transparent in the part that goes through. I found myself going so fast that it was hard to see. My ten year old managed to slow down enough to look around and even make funny faces as he went down. There is a height requirement for the waterslide. Also, your little one must be a good enough swimmer to exit the pool by his or her self after they splash down.

Other great ammenities in the pool area are: pool lounge chairs to cool off on a hot Las Vegas day, lots of comfy cushioned lounge chairs to hang out on, and a hot tub that is shaped like a flower. Your family can hunker down in one petal while the couple on their honeymoon can hide out in the other.
One thing to be aware of is that this pool can get busy. During the day it was very crowed and difficult to find a lounge chair for our stuff. Justin got tired of waiting in line for the water slide. When we visited early evening it was almost deserted. We enjoyed our “private pool”.
I purchased life jackets for Jared and Destiny that they wore throughout their Golden Nugget pool adventure. The jackets gave me piece of mind and gave my preschoolers the freedom to explore the shallow water.

Isn’t the Golden Nugget one of the hotels in downtown Vegas? I had no idea they had this great pool! Also, thanks for the heads-up about Debbie’s new addition.
Vegas seems to be known for some many amazing things, although, pools was not one that I thought. My son would be in heaven, heaven! Not only with the pools, but the fish/shark tank right there!
I have not been to Vegas since the ’80s, so much has changed. That pool does look like kid-heaven. And I agree about the life-jackets, a little bit of water safety.
As soon as you mentioned a shark encircling pool, I googled the place. My kids would love that. And that water slide through the fish tank looks super fun (if not a little scary!).
Never been to Vegas, so I haven’t experienced any of the pools.
The fish/shark tank sounds fascinating to me, though
Great pool for kids. I always stay mid strip so I never look that far up. I will keep it in mind.
Ive never been to Las Vegas but I hope to go sometime. A lot of my friends have gone there and they all told me good things. I like the whole 24 hour party thing.
I went to this pool a few days ago, and it was AWESOME! I live here in Vegas and I’m probably going to go again soon. The slide is really fun, but can be strange at first, looking at all the sharks around you. My little sister was afraid to go because she thought the sharks would break through the glass but it is not possible (: Well I reccommend this pool its the best in Vegas!!!!!
