Bellagio pool

Quality pool time is a priority for my wife every trip. This year we are staying at the Bellagio. We will be there first week of September. Three hours at the pool is usually plenty (especially for me) for a couple of days. We usually go to the pool ~10 - 1. I was wondering if 2 - 5 would be a better time. My question: Does anyone know if the sun is direct during the later hours and are there more seats available. Thanks much.

There is a thread presently on Free-for-All, titled "Chairs at the pools".

This is what I posted.

At Bellagio I found no empty lounges by the pool. Either they were occupied or had a towel on them.
There was a special area where you could reserve a lounge chair for the day,
which I think also provided water, and cool towels for you.
The cost was $50 Mon–Thur, $75 Fri and Sun, $100 Sat, $125 Holidays.

I tipped a pool guy $5 for him to locate two "towel occupied" chairs, remove the towels, and move them side by side in the sun.

I didn't have any trouble locating a lounge chair by the pool in June at Bellagio on weekdays. There is a good amount of landscaping trees and it's surprising how often you need to move your chair to obtain your preference for full sun, partial shade, or full shade. Weekends pools at all Las Vegas pools seem to be more crowded. Cabanas with padded lounge chairs are availble for rental but are very limited in number. The pool folks at the Bellagio are pretty attentive to picking up towels abandoned, thus freeing up lounges. It's pretty much impossible to get waited on at the pool bar--line is long and doesn't move at all. Servers make frequent rounds poolside and are pretty prompt with expensive drinks.

I have never had any trouble getting a chair at the Bellagio pool and have stayed there over 20 times. Yes you should have plenty of sun. It is a very peaceful pool.

I've stayed at the Bellagio three times. Their pool is beautiful! I've never had any trouble finding lounge chairs. Having said that, my sister and I did splurge a little one day and reserved a Cabana, but the price was extremely discounted at the time, so we figured why not! Sun is always ample at Bellagio's pool!

Oops...sorry...didn't realize how old this thread was.
