“Daylife” pool parties in Vegas have exploded in the last few years, but sun worshipers who prefer a more relaxing environment have plenty of world-class pools to choose from. So pull up a lounge chair and order some champagne – this side of the Vegas pool scene is about relaxing and refreshing. Consider taking a look before you book, as most pools are for guests only and not every pool is open year round. Lounge chairs at Strip pools are traditionally first come, first serve, but Aria lets its guests reserve ahead of time online. Once there, four sprawling pool areas (2 pools for regular hotel guests, one pool for Sky Suites guests, and a pool area at Liquid dayclub) offer everything from hot tubs and gorgeous shaded areas, to state-of-the-art cabanas and plenty of places to soak in the hot desert rays. Accompanied children are allowed, and raft rentals are available. 2. Bamboo Pool – The Cosmo The Cosmopolitan offers three pools, including the lush Bamboo for pool fans who prefer lounge music to house music – or who are simply recovering from the previous day’s festivities.
While there, indulge in a poolside yoga class or chair massage. Open to hotel guests only (non-hotel guests may party at Marquee Dayclub), this pool also offers coffee in the morning, and cocktails from stunning teak bars in the afternoon. 3. The Beach at Mandalay Bay The 11-acre Beach at Mandalay Bay brings the California coast to the desert of Nevada. The wave pool rocks waves up to six feet, as sunbathers tan on 2,700 tons of real California sand. Not staying at the hotel? Check the schedule for its outdoor concert series (March through October) that’s open to the public. 4. Cypress Pool – Bellagio Cypress Pool, inside the Pool at Bellagio (think citrus trees and Mediterranean tiling), is so private that every one of the 65 lounges (plus two daybeds) has its own host to attend to the hotel guest’s every need. Throughout the day, expect to be served cool-down treats like frozen fruit, smoothies, and Evian misters, plus food and cocktails made to order. 5. Jupiter Pool – Caesars
The most relaxing corner of the famous Garden of the Gods pool at Caesars Palace, the Jupiter Pool is a quiet escape in an otherwise lively resort. Relax in a cabana, daybed, or chaise lounge with other like-minded resort guests. If you perk up, consider heading next door to the Fortuna Pool for a hand of swim-up blackjack.

Harrison Anastasio stands guard as a hotel guest sunbathes on the rooftop pool deck at the James Hotel. By 11 a.m. on a recent sweltering Sunday, Harrison Anastasio had already collected the cellphone numbers of five bikini-clad women on the rooftop pool at the James New York Hotel. “Don’t forget to text me,” one of the women whispered to the tousle-headed 17-year-old, flashing him a coy smile. Anastasio colored slightly beneath his Wayfarer sunglasses. But he wouldn’t forget. Though it sounds like the setup for a 1980s sex comedy, it’s his job. Anastasio, a rising senior at Edward R. Murrow High School, may have the most enviable summer job in the city–he’s a tanning concierge.Charles Eames and Ray Eames were the embodiment of the inventiveness, energy and optimism at the heart of mid-century modern American design, and have been recognized as the most influential designers of the 20th century. As furniture designers, filmmakers, artists, textile and graphic designers and even toy and puzzle makers, the Eameses were a visionary and effective force for the notion that design should be an agent of positive change.
They are the happy, ever-curious, ever-adventurous faces of modernism. Charles studied architecture and industrial design. Ray (née Beatrice Alexandra Kaiser) was an artist, who studied under the abstract expressionist Hans Hofmann. They met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in suburban Detroit (where Charles also met his frequent collaborator Eero Saarinen and the artist and designer Harry Bertoia) and married the next year. His technical skills and her artistic flair were wonderfully complementary. They moved to Los Angeles in 1941, where Charles worked on set design for MGM. In the evenings at their apartment, they experimented with molded plywood using a handmade heat-and-pressurization device they called the “Kazam!” machine. The next year, they won a contract from the U.S. Navy for lightweight plywood leg splints for wounded servicemen — they are coveted collectibles today; more so those that Ray used to make sculptures. The Navy contract allowed Charles to open a professional studio, and the attention-grabbing plywood furniture the firm produced prompted George Nelson, the director of design of the furniture-maker Herman Miller Inc., to enlist Charles and (by association, if not by contract) Ray in 1946.
Some of the first Eames items to emerge from Herman Miller are now classics: the “LCW,” or Lounge Chair Wood, and the “DCM,” or Dining Chair Metal, supported by tubular steel. The Eameses eagerly embraced new technology and materials, and one of their peculiar talents was to imbue their supremely modern design with references to folk traditions. Their “Wire Chair” group of the 1950s, for example, was inspired by basket weaving techniques. The populist notion of “good design for all” drove their “Molded Fiberglass” chair series that same decade, and also produced the organic-form, ever-delightful “La Chaise.” In 1956 the “Lounge Chair” and ottoman appeared — the supremely comfortable plywood-base-and-leather-upholstery creation that will likely live in homes as long as there are people with good taste and sense. Charles Eames once said, “The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.” For very good collectors and thoughtful interior designers, a piece of design by the Eameses, the closer produced to original conception the better, is almost de rigueur — for its beauty and comfort, and not least as a tribute to the creative legacy and enduring influence of Charles and Ray Eames.
