Resort pools: Some are free, some have a fee, many open to locals

It’s pool season in Southern Nevada, daytime temperatures are heating up and many Las Vegans are ready to get cool in a pool.

At Las Vegas resorts, some pools are open only to hotel guests, while others open their doors to Southern Nevadans — sometimes with a fee attached.
