Taking your own drinks to the pool

Hi

I%26#39;m heading to Vegas in May and was wondering if you are allowed to take your own alcoholic drinks to the pool?? and if so, if many people do it.

I%26#39;ll be staying at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur and MGM Grand... are some more liberal than others.

Thanks for your help

Taking your own drinks to the pool

MGM and MB both check bags as you enter the pool area. You%26#39;re unlikely to have success if you attempt to take in booze. At less popular pools you%26#39;d probably be ok provided you were discreet and just took a couple of beers rather than a case!

I%26#39;ve no idea about the specific situation at Excalibur.

Taking your own drinks to the pool

And I forgot to add (though it goes without saying), if you do try to take your own drinks, strictly no glass at any pool.

I can%26#39;t speak for any of the hotels you%26#39;ve listed, but at Bellagio, the Trop and TI, we%26#39;ve always brought in our own drinks. We get a bottle of Capt. and a couple small bottles of coke, put them in an insulated bag with some ice, 2 large plastic cups, and we%26#39;re good to go! Actually, we usually get a drink at the pool first, then use their cup the next day after washing. We never had a problem at those hotels, but again, can%26#39;t speak for the others. Good luck! Have FUN!

so possibly excalibur but not MGM or Mandalay

Thanks for your help

we did take bottles of water in a small cooler to mgm and mb drinks by the pool are expensive no glass though.

you%26#39;re not allowed to bring alcohol - laws require it to be served by the property

although rare, know ahead of time you could be evicted. happens more at ';pool parties';.

Laws are meant to be broken.....take the booze in.

Sneak it in but use their cup. They don%26#39;t want it to look like a BYOB party.

Last time I went MGM, they served 16 ounce plastic beer bottles. Went to the store and bought the same ones. Went back the next day with 6 beers in the cooler and told them they were left over from yesterday. They left me in. Did this 3 times...I do have an honest face....
