Citrus at the Downtown Grand Pool Deck

The cheeseburger is delicious and quick to receive. Deep fried onion rings and bacon was amazing!

Adult Swim!
This is the perfect alternative to the pool scenes on the strip. This spot is located on the roof of the Downtown Grand and as far as I can tell it’s free! Although, you can rent private cabanas if you’re looking for that, «chic, clubby pool vibe» or you can just go cheap and hi-​jack multiple lawn chairs and create an awesome poolside fort.
There are kids running around here, but it’s not like a daycare and most everyone here is local, a big plus for me. They also have a full bar and serve food until seven at night. The drinks here will run you a little more than the norm, but nothing insane, about six to ten dollars depending on the drink.
The pool is pretty small, it’s more like a very large hot tub than a small pool, but really you’re in this thing to escape the heat, get refreshed and possibly pee. Ha! The Pool Deck is a great way to entertain some out-​of-​town friends and get your bronze bruh.
Party on!

Really cool place with great views. I stayed here and got a great bottle deal with my room. Only warning for folks during the hot vegas summer months, the artificial turf gets stupid hot. You must wear shoes and not go barefoot or it will burn your feet

Great little gem in downtown. The rooftop pool is perfect. As others have said, once the word gets out about this place it won’t be unknown for long.
The place had a great atmosphere. The wifey and I were there when Zapos did a pool take over. The had a DJ, fashion show, drink specials, Quicksilver was there with a cabana and was giving away free drinks. Pretty darn cool.
Also, they had a bottle service that was BOGO. WTH? That never happens at a pool in Vegas. The same went for the buckets of beer.
The wifey and I plan on coming to this place as long as possible.
The one thing they could do is add a few more umbrellas. Other than that the place is dope.
Ask for Guy, he’s the pool mgr. He’ll hook you up if you need anything.

Super cute place and nice for a day by the pool. It’s small but there’s plenty of places to hang out. They even have couches to lay on. It wasn’t very busy when I want but it was a Monday afternoon. They are open from 9 – 7 now. The prices are good on food and drinks but if you’re not staying at Downtown Grand you have to pay $ 15 to get in which is a little steep to me. There are great views from up there though, it’s nice to be up above everything where you get full sun. Overall it was a really nice experience.

Had a great time! Payed the local 15 $ price to get in, but it comes with one complimentary drink ticket. Also, it seems like depending on who you get at the front you can get in for free.
Ordered fish tacos for lunch nothing to complain about they were very good :) also got some caramel chocolate ice cream with a mini biscotti on top and at only 3 $ I wanted to try more flavors!
All in all thought it was a surprisingly affordable fun day! The cocktail waitress’s service skills were kind of lagging (had to hunt her down to order anything), and it took her a couple tries to get the check right, but she was the only one working the whole pool so ill cut her a break.

The OMG burger & fish tacos were awesome! Great place to spend a few hours… recommend a cabana!

This place is really cute. Came here for a friends birthday party, and he had rented a cabana. The cabana was huge, and plenty of room for lots of friends. Our cocktail waitress friendly and attentive.
I was there on a Saturday, and it wasn’t packed at all. I feel like it’s a secret gem right now. A little nervous that when word does get out, it won’t be as fun. There weren’t very many chairs for people, and I believe the couches had to be purchased like the cabanas.
Otherwise, the drinks were cheaper than the strip, and since it’s on the rooftop there are no obstructions to our sun for tanning :) Will definitely be back!

The bartender was friendly, but this place was dead. The décor is very pleasing and I hope it becomes more popular. It looks like they’ve put a lot of effort into the venue. Maybe more advertising is the key to success here.

Diggin’ this pool area. In the heart of downtown with just enough party and just enough relaxation. The drinks are cheap and the scenery is pretty good for an old (er) dude like me, where all the girls are almost attainable. I mean, when you go to all the other super hip pools with all the cool kids, the beer belly just ain’t a selling point — it will fly here. Leave your six packs at home.
As I mentioned, the drinks are surprisingly affordable for a Vegas pool, but you do need to remember that you are a bit off the beaten path when it comes to LV. There was a DJ playing but it was simply to keep the mood of the pool going rather than it being the main draw of the crowd. They didn’t charge us a cover and in all honesty I don’t think we were supposed to be there since we weren’t hotel guests. The security guards were nice enough to let us take in a couple of quick cocktails and peep the place out since I think it was clear that we weren’t going to make a day out of it.
Friendly staff and a cheap Vegas drink is a win in my book. See you soon, Picnic.

Living downtown, there isn’t much relief from the heat, so I was excited to hear that the Downtown grand was doing more than a typical hotel pool concept. The area features lots of cabanas, fake grass, table games, picnic benches in the shade, misters everywhere, a nice long bar, a DJ and a raised pool (on the small side). Tack on $ 5 – 6 brews, $ 7 – 8 cocktails and it makes for a nice place to have a drink with some friends. Not bad!
That being said… Warning!
When we walked in (Saturday @ 3pm), a security guard asked if we were hotel guests. When we said no, he was going to tell us to leave, but instead let us in when we said we were local and just wanted to see the place and grab a drink. I’m not sure if that means that it’s OK to grab a drink here, or that this place will be for hotel guests only.
As per their website:
«Picnic Restaurant is open for lunch daily from 11am to 5pm.
Picnic area and pool facilities are open to hotel guests from 9am to 7pm and is offered as a complimentary hotel amenity.
Access to non-​hotel guests is available with the purchase of our Picnic Day Pass, which includes the use of the facilities as well as a well cocktail or beer of your choice. Prices are Monday through Thursday $ 15 and Fri/​Sat/​Sun $ 25.00 per person»
If this is the case, drop this review down a notch. I can only review on what I experienced, which was free entry to a cool rooftop to have a drink. Let’s hope it’s always open w/​o cover for a cocktail and a burger.

Enjoyed the OMG Burger. Significant size, topped with bacon, aioli, house made pickles, cheese. Served with what seemed like a boat load of steak fries. Good burger.
The outside area is nice, fun, vintage picnic classic in a way. The temperature outside was warm. It is outside, so be warned if it was noon and 115 outside.
