The Planet Hollywood pool deck is one of the more unusual pool areas on the Las Vegas Strip because it combines rooftop pool views, two separate pool areas and the FlowRider wave machine.
The resort’s pool area is called The Scene Pool Deck. It sits above the Strip and gives guests a sunny, social pool setting with cabanas, daybeds, bars, music, Strip views and the only free-standing FlowRider wave-riding experience on the Strip.
If you want a classic relaxing pool day, use the all-ages side. If you want more of a party atmosphere, head to the 21+ side. If you want something different, book the FlowRider and try bodyboarding or stand-up surfing right on the Strip.
Here is the updated guide to Planet Hollywood’s pool, including hours, access, FlowRider rules, cabanas, daybeds, prices and tips.
Planet Hollywood Pool Overview
- Address: 3667 S Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Phone: 702-736-0111
- Pool Deck: The Scene Pool Deck
- Current Pool Hours: Daily 9am-5pm during pool season
- Standout Features: Two rooftop pools, Strip views, FlowRider, cabanas and daybeds
The Scene Pool Deck is Planet Hollywood’s rooftop pool area. It has two pools, two hot tubs, poolside bars, live music or DJ-style energy on busier days, cabanas, daybeds and the FlowRider Wave-in-a-Box Double.
The pool deck works well because it can serve different types of guests. Families and mixed-age groups can use the all-ages North Pool, while adults who want music, drinks and a livelier atmosphere can use the 21+ South Pool.
The deck is not as large or lush as Mandalay Bay Beach, and it is not as quiet as some luxury resort pools. Its advantage is location and personality. Planet Hollywood sits in the center Strip area, close to Paris Las Vegas, Horseshoe, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, Aria and Miracle Mile Shops.
The pool deck is especially useful if you want:
- A center-Strip pool day
- A rooftop pool setting
- FlowRider wave riding
- A mix of all-ages and adults-only pool areas
- Cabanas or daybeds without leaving the resort
- A pool close to Miracle Mile Shops and center-Strip restaurants
South Pool: Adults Only 21+
The South Pool is the adults-only side of Planet Hollywood’s Scene Pool Deck.
This is the better choice if you want music, drinks, social energy and a livelier pool scene. The South Pool area has a more party-focused feel than the North Pool, especially on weekends and busy summer afternoons.
Expect:
- 21+ access
- Poolside bar service
- Music or DJ-style atmosphere on busier days
- Daybeds and cabanas
- More social energy than the all-ages pool
If you want a quieter swim, go earlier in the day or use the North Pool. If you want drinks and a louder social atmosphere, the South Pool is the better fit.
South Pool cabanas and daybeds can be reserved through the current Caesars / Planet Hollywood pool booking system. Prices vary by date, time block and demand.
North Pool: All Ages
The North Pool is the all-ages side of Planet Hollywood’s pool deck.
This is the better option for families, younger guests and visitors who want a more relaxed pool experience. It is still part of the same rooftop pool deck, so you may hear music and energy from the South Pool, but the North Pool is generally calmer.
The North Pool area can include:
- All-ages pool access
- Nearby hot tub
- Daybeds
- Cabanas
- More family-friendly atmosphere
If you are traveling with children or teens, use the North Pool area and confirm any age or supervision rules at check-in.
FlowRider at Planet Hollywood
FlowRider is the most unique feature at Planet Hollywood’s pool deck.
It is a free-standing wave simulator that lets guests try bodyboarding or stand-up surfing in a controlled environment. Water flows over a padded riding surface, creating an artificial wave that riders can surf without needing an ocean.
Planet Hollywood’s FlowRider is currently promoted as the only free-standing wave-riding experience on the Strip. It is good for guests who want something more active than sitting by the pool.
Current FlowRider guidance:
- Age: Riders must be at least 13 years old
- Bodyboarding height: At least 42 inches tall
- Stand-up surfing height: At least 48 inches tall
- Swimming ability: Riders must be able to swim
- Session price: Recent published pricing lists $34.99 per person for a 30-minute experience
- All-day pass: May be available for guests who want multiple sessions
A professional instructor can help riders get started. The experience is padded and designed for controlled falls, but it is still physical. Expect to wipe out, especially if it is your first time.
If FlowRider is a must-do for your visit, check current availability before going. Weather, maintenance, staffing, private events and pool operations can affect scheduling.
Planet Hollywood Pool Season and Hours
The Scene Pool Deck is a seasonal Las Vegas pool venue.
Current Caesars information lists The Scene Pool Deck as open daily from 9am to 5pm during Las Vegas pool season. Pool openings are weather-permitting and subject to change.
Because Las Vegas pool operations can vary by month, weather and demand, always check the current Caesars / Planet Hollywood pool page before planning a pool day.
General timing tips:
- Morning: Best for lighter crowds and easier seating
- Midday: Best for sun, drinks and pool energy
- Weekend afternoons: Best for a livelier social scene
- Early or late season: Check current hours before going
Who Can Use the Planet Hollywood Pool?
Planet Hollywood hotel guests can use The Scene Pool Deck during operating season, subject to hotel rules and capacity.
Guests from participating Caesars Las Vegas properties may also be allowed pool access depending on current Caesars rules, room-key policy, occupancy and seasonal restrictions.
Non-hotel guests may be able to access the pool by booking a daybed, cabana, lounge chair or other paid pool product when available.
The safest current approach is:
- Planet Hollywood guests: Bring your room key.
- Caesars hotel guests: Check current pool access rules and bring your room key.
- Non-guests: Reserve a cabana, daybed or paid seating product if available.
- Families: Use the all-ages North Pool.
- Adults 21+: Use the South Pool for a more social atmosphere.
Pool access can be restricted when the deck is full, during events or because of hotel operations.
Planet Hollywood Pool Cabanas, Daybeds and Prices
Planet Hollywood offers reserved seating options at The Scene Pool Deck, including cabanas, daybeds and lounge chairs depending on date and availability.
Common reserved seating options can include:
- South Pool cabanas
- South Pool premium cabanas
- South Pool canopy daybeds
- North Pool cabanas
- North Pool canopy daybeds
- Lower Deck cabanas
- Lower Deck canopy daybeds
- Lounge chairs
Pricing varies by date, pool area, time block, seating type and demand. Recent public booking examples show some daybeds and cabanas priced from low or promotional amounts on certain dates to several hundred dollars for premium South Pool products. FlowRider all-day passes may also appear as a separate pool product.
Because prices can change quickly, do not rely on old fixed cabana tables. Use the current Caesars pool booking page for your exact date.
Cabana and daybed reservations may include different benefits depending on the product. Before booking, check:
- Whether the reservation is full-day, morning or afternoon only
- How many guests are included
- Whether food and beverage minimums apply
- Whether gratuity, tax or service fees are included
- Whether the reservation guarantees pool entry for non-hotel guests
- Whether the seating is at the South Pool, North Pool or Lower Deck
Food and Drinks at the Pool
The Scene Pool Deck has poolside drinks, bars and food ordering options during the active season.
Recent Caesars pool-season information mentions seasonal cocktails such as the Hollywood Sunset, while Las Vegas Magazine notes that guests can order food for delivery from the property’s restaurants using a mobile phone.
Expect standard Las Vegas pool pricing for cocktails, beer, wine, frozen drinks, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. If you are renting a cabana or daybed, ask about bottle service, shareable drinks and food service.
Outside food and drinks are generally not allowed at Las Vegas resort pools, so plan to buy food and beverages on site.
Planet Hollywood Pool Tips
- Arrive early for free loungers. Seating gets harder later in the day.
- Use the North Pool with kids. The South Pool is adults only.
- Book FlowRider early. Session times may sell out or change.
- Bring sunscreen. The rooftop deck gets strong sun.
- Check current pool hours. Pool season and weather can affect operations.
- Reserve seating for non-guest access. A daybed or cabana may be the easiest way for non-hotel guests to enter.
- Expect music on the adult side. Choose the North Pool if you want a calmer day.
