Who gets in free — hotel guests vs day-pass buyers
Hotel guests at Circa receive complimentary daily access to Stadium Swim as part of their stay. The resort is adults-only (21+), so every guest entering Stadium Swim must be at least 21 with valid ID.
Non-hotel guests can purchase a day pass to enter Stadium Swim; general admission day passes have been reported with starting prices (see sources) but exact rates and ticket types vary by date and event.
- Hotel guests: complimentary daily access included with the room
- Non-guests: can buy a day pass (types and prices vary)
- All attendees must show valid government photo ID at the security checkpoint
| Access type | Included for hotel guests? | Typical hours (reported) |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel guest | Yes — daily complimentary access | Approximately 8:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m. (varies; winter hours sometimes 9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.) |
| Day-pass buyer | No — paid admission required | Same public hours; varies by event and season |
Reserving cabanas, daybeds and private spaces
Stadium Swim offers reservable cabanas, daybeds and semi-private spaces. These sell out fastest during major sporting events such as NFL Sundays, fight nights and other marquee broadcasts.
If you want a cabana or private area, reserve well in advance through the hotel's reservations or the pool's booking link. Cabanas and daybeds are separate from general admission tickets and require their own booking.
- Book early for major sports weekends and holidays
- Reservations are required for cabanas/daybeds; availability varies
- Check with concierge if you’re a hotel guest — they can help with booking
| Tip | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Reserve early | Best spots book up on big-game days |
| Confirm what’s included | Different rentals can include chairs, fridge, or minimum bottle service |
| Ask concierge | Hotel concierge can assist with booking and timing |
Practical pool rules and what to bring
There is a security checkpoint before entering Stadium Swim; prohibited items typically include controlled substances and outside food or drinks. Dress-code and ticket requirements are enforced at entry.
Because Stadium Swim is adults-only, you should always carry a valid government-issued photo ID to show at the door. Follow posted rules for swimwear and behavior; failure to comply can result in denied entry or ejection.
- Bring a government-issued photo ID (21+ required)
- No outside alcohol or food; check current prohibited items before arrival
- Follow the posted dress code and pool rules; staff and security enforce them
| Item | Allowed? |
|---|---|
| Outside alcohol | Not allowed |
| Valid ID (21+) | Required |
| Towels/cover-ups | Allowed (hotel guests may get towels through pool amenities) |
Timing your visit — best times and weather considerations
Stadium Swim is open year-round because the pools are heated. Reported daily hours have typically ranged around 8:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m., though winter hours have sometimes been listed as 9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.; check current hours before you go.
Las Vegas weather varies seasonally — spring and fall offer the most comfortable daytime temperatures for pool time, while summer afternoons can be extremely hot. Because Stadium Swim is heated and rooftop, it operates through cooler months as well.
- Check current pool hours before you go — hours can change by season or special event
- Spring (March–May) and fall (Sept–Nov) are generally the most comfortable times for outdoor pool visits
- Stadium Swim remains open in winter because pools are heated
| Season | Visitor note |
|---|---|
| Spring/Fall | Comfortable daytime pool weather |
| Summer | Very hot days — consider morning or evening pool time |
| Winter | Pools heated and open, but hours may be reduced |
