Swim & Social, the rooftop pool perched on the eighth floor of The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower, is firing up the 2026 season this Friday, bringing back cabanas, daybeds, weekend DJs and those hard-to-beat panoramic Strip views. Hotel guests get in free, while non-hotel visitors will pay $15 Monday through Thursday and $20 Friday through Sunday. The poolside kitchen and bar are also returning with salads, bowls and light bites geared for all-day lounging.
As reported by FOX5, this year’s menu includes Mexican-style shrimp ceviche ($19), an ahi poke bowl ($19), a grilled-chicken protein bowl ($21), a kale-and-strawberry salad ($18) and a firecracker wrap ($19). FOX5 also notes that anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Hours and admission
According to The STRAT, Swim & Social opens daily at 10 a.m. Sunday through Thursday hours run until 5 p.m., and Friday and Saturday stretch to 6 p.m., weather permitting. The hotel site confirms the pool-season kickoff for this Friday and highlights amenities that include cabanas, daybeds and a poolside kitchen.
What’s on the deck
When the venue first debuted, it took over a large rooftop footprint and leaned into yard games, weekend DJs and relaxed daytime vibes, think cornhole, giant Jenga and oversized Connect Four, according to Travel Weekly. That layout positions Swim & Social as a more low-key daytime alternative to the Strip’s big dayclubs while still keeping a lively, social atmosphere.
Before you go
Reservations for cabanas or semi-private events go through The STRAT’s events team, with the hotel listing a phone number and events email for inquiries. Per The STRAT, admission is complimentary for on-site hotel guests, and all visitors are expected to follow posted pool rules and ID requirements.
