1. Encore Hotel and the Encore Beach Club
This is a greaummer hotel because the Encore Beach club is super plush, but food options are abundant and XS and Tryst are right on site. Th erooms are large and so very comfortable and you'll get a very good feel lfor luxury at Encore.
2. The Mandalay Bay Hotel

Stay at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and you can walk over to the Luxor without ever going outside and you can take a monorail to the Excalibur. The pool is the best in Las Vegas, the food rivals any resort on the strip and the entertainment choices are boosted by the fact that the House of Blues is right off the casino floor. I'm not sure it can get better than that.
3. Caesars Palace Las Vegas

Summer vacation at Caesars is easily the best way to go. The centrally located hotel right in the heart of the Las Vegas strip has everything you need for an all encompassing vacation. The pool is opulent, the restaurants divine, the World Class shopping and you never have to leave the resort.
4. Cosmopoliatn Hotel
You could go to the Cosmopolitan simply for the food and you would be sold but spend some time at the pool and you'll really feel the energy of summer. With a few scattered diversions to go with some big screens and a couple of pool tables you'll get a completely different idea of what a Las Vegas pool is like. When your fun by the water ends you'll head to one of the many bars or Marquee Nightclub. You might need some food so have some beef beef with a side of Las Vegas nightlife at STK Las Vegas. I should mention the rooms are huge and there is nothing quite like a drink on a terrace overlooking the Las Vegas strip.
5. Palazzo Hotel
If your summer needs some pampering as well as some high energy decadence you'll want to stay at Palazzo Las Vegas. A spa day at Canyon Ranch Spa, an incredible meal at Carnevino and some beer sampling at Public House. That's only day one. Cocktails by the pool at Azure and some dancing at LAVO will only enhance your stay at The Prestge at Palazzo where you'll get a huge dose of luxury.
6. The Flamingo Las Vegas

If you want to save a little money but you want the convenience that a center strip location offers, the Flamingo Las Vegas is where you should head. The pool area offers plenty of shady trees surrounding the pools that work well to refresh you. The food is good and you have plenty of hotels withing short walking distance.
7. MGM Grand Hotel

The MGM Grand offers so much that you might not realize that it's 119 degrees outside. Imagine a small city within the city. The pool area is expansive and the dining and entertainment choices are hard to conceive. This is one resort where you will struggle with the decision to leave. Remember, there is plenty to see out there, get out a little.
8. Rio All Suite Hotel Las Vegas
Plenty of eating options, a very nice pool and a large casino make the Rio the place for your own personal Las Vegas party during the summer. The nightlife will keep you at the hotel, the food will delight you and the opportunities to have a summer experience go way up with places like the VooDoo Lounge, Lucky Strike Lanes and the I-Bar.
