Garden of the Gods

Caesars Palace's five-acre pool oasis features no less than eight pools, plus a whirlpool area and outdoor wedding facility. Pools feature everything from swim-up blackjack (the Fortuna pool) to waterfalls, cabanas, and poolside spa services. The two Bacchus pools are for invited guests only, while the Temple pool is the most family-friendly. There are no regular parties or concerts, but there is a DJ on the weekend.

Snackus Maximus is more than a snack and drink bar, especially at the (expensive) prices: large cocktails $27, small $18; four chicken fingers $13, fruit plate $12, water $4.
