In most instances, if you're prepared to pay for a cabana, you may access a Las Vegas hotel pool if you're not a guest of that property, even if the pool generally has a guest-only policy. We called a few pools to verify that this was still the case and, from our research, The Tank at the Golden Nugget was the only pool that did not allow non-guests, but this only applied on the weekend, and they will put you on a waiting list, but guests have priority. Aliante Station, Sunset Station, Liquid Pool at Aria, VooDoo Beach at the Rio, and Bare Pool Lounge at the Mirage were all more than happy to accommodate non-guests who were willing to rent a cabana. We didn't come across any air-conditioned cabanas, but all those we inquired about were equipped either with fans or a mister.
As far as pricing is concerned, it varies wildly from location to location, and by day. For example, you can rent a cabana at Sunset Station for $30 midweek or $50 on weekends and holidays, which also includes 10%-off the poolside menu. At the Golden Nugget it's $175 Monday through Thursday, going up to $250 on weekends and $300 on holidays. At the Rio's VooDoo Beach, it's $160 for up to four people weekdays and an extra $40 for each extra body; on weekends it's $340 ($85/person over and above four). A cabana at the Mirage's topless Bare Pool Lounge comes with a minimum $500 food and beverage tab during the week, rising to $1,500 on the weekend; at Liquid Pool at Aria, it's $500 on week days, $2,000 on weekends and holidays.
