Guests of any MGM Resorts Property can access the MGM Grand pool complex and book pool-side rentals. No outside alcohol, food, beverages, or glass items are permitted in pool complex. Pool access is available on a first-come-first-serve-basis and may be restricted based on occupancy limitations.

No, you are strictly prohibited from bringing outside food, beverages, or alcohol into the MGM Grand Pool Complex (including the Signature pools) in Las Vegas. This policy is rigorously enforced by security at the entrance to the pool deck, where bags are typically searched. The only common exception is a single, factory-sealed plastic bottle of water per person. Glass containers of any kind are strictly forbidden for safety reasons on the pool deck. Once inside, you are expected to purchase drinks from the various poolside bars or through server service at your lounge chair or cabana. Prices for drinks are notoriously high, with specialty cocktails often ranging from $18 to $25 and buckets of beer exceeding $40. If you are caught with outside alcohol inside the complex, you may be asked to leave or have the items confiscated. For those looking to save money, it is recommended to "pre-game" in your hotel room before heading down to the pool area, as the MGM Grand and other Strip resorts prioritize revenue from their high-margin poolside beverage operations.
