Boulevard Pool — Local services in Paradise

Had a terrible experience here, but before that let me say that the staff for the most part were really nice and took great care of us; what’s fair is fair.

Now, here’s the problem.

Came here with friends, about 8 of us. We paid for the bed that’s right on the pool (500$ tab minimum) they told us that we couldn’t have more than 4 people around it at once, which doesn’t make sense...there are people gathered together in the pool by the dozens but for the bed we paid 500$ for we can’t have more than 4 people around it. Ok fine, we said give us this empty bed next to it too, but they really wanted to push us into the 1000$ canopy, which is the same price but we didn’t want to move. Then they gave the bed next to us to another group instead of letting us pay for it. Then a group of one friend’s family showed up and came over to greet us, by the time we finished saying hello the manager came over and was kicking us out. Don’t remember her name (uncommon name) started with an R. Seemed like an unnecessary thing to do and she handled it pretty tactlessly.

Basically felt like we were a very watchful eye, with unrealistic guidelines which lacked common sense. Which is just not what you expect when you’re dropping so much money.

Basically Cosmo if you cant get it right you’re better off not doing it.

Total bill 890$ Which we paid in full and then were...

I've been visiting the Boulevard pool for years and it's been up and down...the last visit during Covid operations went very well...

There's multiple levels to pull up a lounge chair and hang out by the pool. We decided to go to the second level vs pool side because we wanted to be right under a pool umbrella for shade. The servers weren't coming up to our level but that was fine as this wasn't a drink heavily by the pool day. This time..=) We headed to the bar, when we needed drinks

Bar: One lone bartender and she rocked. Masked up and knocking down the line and getting the servers trays full quickly. I appreciated that she worked with a professional sense of urgency while still being friendly. The Dole Whip drink leveled up with some run is an absolute perfect Vegas pool drink on a hot day.

Pool: The pool was chilly initially but after you submerge yourself it starts feeling pretty warm quickly. The water was clear, clean and not over chlorinated. There were families with children, couples, and groups of IG story tellers in all shapes and sizes. Everyone was chill and hanging out by the pool on a nice hot quiet day.

I look forward to another pool day at the Boulevard on my next Staycation at the...

Post quarantine review: last visit October 2020

Marquee Day Club was booked so we went to Boulevard. I was fine with the lounge chairs but my friends are bougie and insisted on getting a daybed on the water. In order to do that, we had to spend $600, that seemed like a lot of money for drinks and food. Until you see that a bottle of champagne is over $200. I guess that's normal Vegas through the eyes of a tourist? I don't know. The food we got was good. The guacamole was especially fresh. Breakfast burrito was 90% egg and not enough of the other stuff. Buffalo chicken fingers were unremarkable. But food is still better value than the drinks. Though some of their mixed tequila drinks were tasty.

You're on the 4th floor of the Cosmo looking out onto LV Blvd. The crowd is overwhelmingly couples, not really music and not a party vibe at all. It's an okay pool to stand around and drink with your friends.

The staff is adamant about reminding you to wear your mask at all times unless you're eating/drinking or...
