This is a nice, clean facility with helpful staff. Parking is available in the Tropicana ramp next door and is currently free. There are parking app signs but the app is not in use since the casino was torn down.

This is a lovely pool. I swam here twice and had my own lane both times, once at 7 AM and once at 5 PM. The air quality is good for an indoor pool; the water temperature is just a tiny bit on the warm side, but not bad; and the water quality is very good. Plenty of kickboards, buoys, and paddles were provided for lap swimmers' use. The people are very friendly. It was about a 10 minute Uber ride from Mandalay Bay.

This is a very nice and friendly facility. It's about three miles from the downtown hotels; I made the walk, one day, six miles round-trip, the next day I took Uber/Lyft for about $18, round-trip. The pool was not crowded, I had my own lane both days. Fins, pull buoys, kick boards, and paddles are available. Bring a lock.

This is one of my favorite pools to visit. The facility is gorgeous and an easy Lyft ride from the Strip. If you have a car, there is a parking ramp next to the facility, but I never figured out how to pay for parking. Bring a towel. They have cubbies in the pool area, so if you don't have a padlock for the locker room, you can store your bag in the cubbies and it will be safe. The staff is very friendly and nice.

Nice clean facility and pool. Close to the strip but don't go by the street address or you will be lost. The address is for the entire campus. The center is behind the Thomas and Mack center and Cox pavilion. [Save yourself some trouble and use the pinpointed Google Maps link, above, instead. - Eds.]

This is a gorgeous facility. It includes a 6-lane, 25 yard lap pool, a fitness pool, and a jetted spa. The swim teams practice at a different facility, so the lap pool is available for general use anytime that the center is open. If you forget to bring a towel from your hotel, you can rent one for $2. Bring your own locker lock. I just left my bag by the windows because I didn't have a lock.
