City of Las Vegas announces summer pool schedules, events

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Triple-digit temperatures means it's the perfect time to find a spot in the valley to cool off. That might include a pool day at the six pools that the City of Las Vegas operates.

Daily pool fees at city pools are free for children three and younger, $2 for kids that are between 4 and 17 years old, $3 for adults between 18 and 49 years old, and $2 for seniors that are 50 and older. City officials said people entering the pool are required to wear proper swim attire per the Health District code. All children under 48 inches tall must be accompanied by an adult in the water and only one adult per child.
