2 Best Beaches in Las Vegas

Las Vegas does not offer a conventional ocean beach, but beach-style recreation is still possible through an adults-only resort pool club or a small swimming lake in a larger park. The right choice depends on whether you want upscale reserved seating or a relaxed outdoor outing with family and pets.

Moorea Beach Club focuses on poolside service, cabanas, daybeds and villas for adults. Turquoise Lake offers water, open park space, wildlife and separate dog-park areas, making the two destinations very different experiences.
