In most parts of the world, fall has arrived, temperatures are dropping and people are saying goodbye to summer.

Well don’t pack away those bathing suits and dig out the heavy coats just yet. Beat the approaching winter chill and enjoy sun-drenched Las Vegas !

Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps, in addition to being the city that never freezes. From pools to outdoor dining, check out some of the fun-in-the-sun activities still to be had in Sin City.

• Pool season in Las Vegas doesn’t stop until the holiday décor starts to come out.  Experience the ultimate in aquatic relaxation at Mandalay Bay Beach which features a wave pool, lazy river, three swimming pools, jogging track and 2,700 tons of real sand.  Or unwind in a tropical paradise with wandering interconnected lagoons, the clear cool depths of two pools and three soothing whirlpools at The Mirage.  With so many complimentary amenities including the amazing pools, the best summer experience to be had in Las Vegas is at the properties of MGM Resorts International.
• It’s not too cold to sit and bask in the sun while enjoying an amazing meal at one of many outdoor dining patios dotted along The Strip.  Take in The Fountains of Bellagio and savor Mediterranean-style fare at Olives featuring house-made pastas, steaks, rotisserie dishes and brick-oven pizzas in this rustic restaurant.  For a more casual experience, check out Nine Fine Irishmen at New York-New York.  This rowdy Irish pub’s outdoor balcony and patio overlook The Strip providing great people watching and serves authentic Irish pub food featuring shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, and beer battered cod and chips.
• Skip the hot chocolate and indulge the inner child while satiating adult cravings.  The Pub at Monte Carlo serves grown up milkshakes such as the Chocolate-Covered Strawberry created with Stoli Strawberry Vodka, chocolate ice cream, white crème de cacao and raspberry liquor.  As an alternative, chill out with a strawberry or original flavor margarita popsicle at Diego at MGM Grand.  Especially popular with guests after spending a sizzling afternoon by the pool, these popsicles combine a beloved summer treat with an all-time favorite party cocktail.
