You’ve traveled to Las Vegas instead of the cold mountains, but since this is Las Vegas, a city where imagination runs rampant, you can still experience a ski lodge setting thanks to year-round pool complex Stadium Swim’s Winter Swim programming.
Themed parties take place every month, with the next one on Jan. 6. Get into the decade of decadence with the ’80s Heat Hot Tub Party. Guests are encouraged to wear retro ski gear and local DJs and a silent disco will keep the fun going. During the themed events each month, guests can enjoy the Owner’s Suite which is decked out for each occasion. “Stadium Swim’s Owner’s Suite has been transformed into a captivating, retro après ski lodge with its mesmerizing LED entrance that leads to a cozy faux fireplace, a ‘ski lift’ and a luxe neon bar,” says Michelle Laquindanum with Circa Hospitality Group. “The space will offer complimentary alcoholic beverages as guests take in the immersive experience.”
If you can’t make one of the themed parties, no worries, Winter Swim spreads the wintry cheer all season long with fun photo opportunities, and—the best part—six pools with 90-degree waters. Then there’s the venue itself: If you haven’t seen Stadium Swim it’s certainly a sight to behold. The multilevel complex has a capacity of 4,000 guests, outdoor table games like blackjack, and the pièce de résistance, a 40-foot-tall, high-def screen that displays all the latest sporting events. New for the season are three specialty cocktails made exclusively for Winter Swim. With seasonal flavors try the pumpkin spiced mule with vanilla whiskey, lemon, ginger and pumpkin spice or the Baileys White Russian with vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream and milk. Or keep it classic with a spiked hot chocolate or spiked coffee made with your choice of original- or s’mores-flavored Irish cream. For group fun, try the “penalty shots” where everyone takes a shot simultaneously from a hockey stick.
For those looking for the VIP experience, think about purchasing one of the 30 roomy cabanas that offers sanctuary from the cold when you’re not chilling in the warm waters. All cabanas come heated and with fluffy, plush robes to wear.
“As natural hot springs and ski lodges aren’t prominent in Las Vegas, Winter Swim brings this experience directly to those looking for something unique this winter,” Laquindanum says. “Winter Swim provides guests with everything they need to stay warm and cozy all season.”
