Park MGM Pools

The Monte Carlo waterpark it ain’t. Though a new Lazy River was announced, it never flowed this far (too lazy?) and the wave pool, waterslides, and huge kiddie pool are gone. In their place are three slightly separate pool areas, each with its own shallow rectangle with water in it and a little too much concrete for our taste. Palm trees dot the poolscape, providing some free shade; otherwise, rent a cabana for $150-$300, which comes with frozen grapes and some other stuff. To sit on something soft, you’ll shell out $15 on a lounge for one, or $75 for a daybed for up to four of your closest nearly naked friends and hookups.
