Influence, The POOL at The LINQ

We had an awesome experience at Influence at The LINQ! If you’re looking for a more low key, chill day club vibe without the chaos and crowding of the bigger Vegas pool parties, this is the spot. There’s a great DJ and fun energy, but it’s not overwhelming or packed shoulder to shoulder. It was the perfect “minimized” day club experience. We were in town for EDC in May 2025 and staying at the Flamingo, but their pool was closed for construction, so we checked out Influence and loved it so much we came back 3–4 days in a row. We got a daybed each time and felt it was 100% worth it, especially considering it’s way more affordable than other Vegas day clubs. The staff was super friendly, we had no issues with towels or finding a spot (unlike what some reviews say), and the drink and food menus were both solid and surprisingly extensive. The addition of the beer pong tables and buckets made it even more fun and it honestly made us want to hang out there all day. Also, not sure why people are complaining about being turned away for not having ID. It’s clearly advertised as 21+, and every Vegas day club checks ID. That’s just standard. Highly recommend this place if you want good music, good drinks, fun extras, and a great pool vibe without the madness. We’ll definitely be back and booking a daybed again!

A small yet fun pool. This is a less chaotic pool with a smaller crowd. A DJ spins throughout the day to provide a good vibe and lively energy but its annoying if you're trying to catch some sleep. Limited lounge chairs and not much sun the way the pool is situation between the buildings. Drinks are reasonably priced.

Not a lot of free chairs and the pool was quite small. The Vegas sun is nice and hot and the pool was refreshing but fairly crowded. No outside food or drink allowed inside (water is allowed) and you need your ID to get in.

2 drinks were $90. Closed at 6pm every day (regardless if you're a hotel guest. I know it's a "Vegas thing", but it doesn't mean you have to follow the stupid crowd.) 👎

I would compare this place to a motel. No dresser to put clothes in, broken refrigerator, no microwave, pool closes at 6p. They charged me $253.00 for resort fees, which only includes fitness center and phone calls. If you're going vegas, DONT STAY HERE!!!!!

The hotel is nasty. The carpet on the floor which the hotel room was on was filthy my room was nasty the shower did not come out good I don't recommend staying here they need several updates we did go and complain they put us in another room that was not up to par I was so sick of complaining because we were exhausted we just took it. The hotel room should be clean comfortable that should be the least thing a traveler should have to worry about I would not recommend anyone staying here until they do updates

Smaller size pool. Lots of seating. Plenty of towels available. Music was good but very loud. You wouldn't be able to carry a conversation without yelling.

I order a crown and Pepsi they poured 50% crown and 25 pepsi....I don't drink much bit.....why i not taste the crown....this stuff is watered down....when he made the drink I was saying to myself one of these drinks ill be tanked....but not....not even taste the whiskey wtf....for 25 dollars I figure a good drink all good I won't return to poolside bar

I recently hit up the pool bar at the LINQ and had an experience that left me scratching my head. Now, I get it--drinks at a place like this aren't going to be cheap. The bartender even gave me a heads-up that one drink would set me back $35. But here's the thing: when you're dropping that kind of cash, you expect a certain level of quality, right? Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. The drink came without a single garnish. No pineapple wedge, no cherries, nothing to make it look even remotely decent. I ordered a frozen piña colada, and what I got was basically syrup that was already half-melted. Sure, the drink was tasty, but it was served in a crappy plastic glass with their brand slapped on it. For that price, I expected way more in terms of presentation and quality. The lack of attention to detail was a real letdown, and the whole experience just didn't match the premium price tag.

We were staying at The Linq and the weather was warm, so obviously a trip to the pool was necessary! We checked in with the staff at the entrance and it was a breeze. They have sunscreen for purchase and complimentary towels available before you head out. It was a little earlier in the day, around 11, but the pool party was already in full swing with blasting upbeat music and lots of people lounging in and around the pool. Definitely a fun vibe. We headed straight for the bar and stayed there the entire time, basically. We ordered a couple drinks each and it was expensssiveee which I guess shouldn't have been a surprise, but it was a little! The only complaint I have really is that there is next to no seating if you're not looking to rent a lounge chair. They have private cabanas and larger areas to rent which definitely makes sense, but the daybeds/lounge chairs should be first come, first serve IMO. We still wouldn't have gotten one because we were there two hours after the pool opened, but I feel like that makes way more sense than forcing everyone to sit on the edge of the pool or at the bar. Decent pool size as well and has a cool view of the High Roller.

Stopped by on a hot Vegas day. There's a large pool and a smaller one. Amenities include towels and pool lounge chairs. However, all the lounge chairs were occupied and the beds that weren't occupied were available to rent. On a weekday afternoon they were $120 to rent with an additional $120minimum expenditure on food/drinks. The person I was speaking to said she could reduce the food/drinks expenditure to $80 since I told her we just came from a BIG lunch. I mentioned that I might just come by the next day in the morning and rent it so I could lounge around all day, and she mentioned that the next day the pricing would be different. The drinks were extremely overpriced. I had a tequila seltzer and my friend had a frozen margarita, they were both priced around $35 not including tip. The frozen margarita was pretty good.

Love staying at the Linq, great location. Part of the reason I enjoy it is because I like the young atmosphere of the pool. It's much cheaper than anywhere else on the strip to get a cabana or day bed. Always enjoy my time there.

Cannot give enough praise to how this pool is run.Ryan and his team make everyone feel so welcome from the reception staff to the cleaners making our experience such a fun one.Special thanks have to go to the non stop waitresses especially Corinne who looked after us over our two week vacation and Maggie and her co workers behind the bar and Kayla and Ryan keeping the everything funning smooth.Can't wait to come back next year.

Our experience at the Influence Pool suited what we wanted perfectly. We were just looking for a relaxing pool with lots of shade and our own space. For just $25 more, we were able to reserve a relaxation cabana rather than daybeds and it was worth it! The cabana included two couches, two towels per person, TV, surround sound speakers, and lounge chairs directly in front of the cabana. It was more than enough room for the two of us. Up to six people are allowed but I feel like 3-4 people would be perfect. There is a mirror on the opposite side of the TV so you can sit on either side with a TV view. During our visit, the bar was not serving food. They said we could order food from the BBQ place next door that has direct access from the pool or we could bring up any food from downstairs. It was pretty mellow on a Wednesday morning but picked up later in the afternoon. The music didn't really fit the morning vibe. I felt like relaxing music would be perfect in the morning for those who just want to relax in the sun before the crowds but it's Vegas. Prices do fluctuate throughout the month/week so be sure to keep an eye on that. Weekend reservations can fill up quickly so be sure to plan ahead. There are larger venues with more of a club feel but if it's your first Vegas pool experience, I do recommend checking out the LINQ pool!

The pool itself is pretty nice. The cabanas are ok, the furniture looks a little worn. The wait staff and security were excellent!! Corinne our waitress went above and beyond to care for us. We never thought "where is our waitress, I need a drink". Prices were high on the drinks but what do you expect, your at a casino pool. over all had a real good day.

3.5 Stars. Food and drinks are overpriced... I get it. It's Vegas. But $50+ for a bucket (5) beers or seltzers. Cabanas are good over priced as well. If you're staying multiple days and plan on chilling at the pool for them; get a cabana room. You have your own personal cabana and get drink your own drinks. DJ is okay... played some weird mixes of songs. Still a good pool and good vibe. Prices just make it hard to make it enjoyable.

Great place to relax, but it close me early. Well at least for me it would be nice to take a night dip. DJ spinning tunes from open to close. May been COVID hours. Get there early for a nice spot and within hours it's poppin with people. Don't leave your ID in the room.

We spent a few days at The Linq and couple of them were spent at The Influence Pool. Our cocktail waitress/hostess was Corinne. She is absolutely the best. Took such great care of our needs on blazing hot days. Can't wait to go back soon and see her.

I'm not one for crowds, but despite the amount of cool people at the pool today, we still found room to chill. Whether that was in the pool, or in our daybed. For a great price you can get a daybed w an umbrella, + a bar minimum that you'll surely meet. I love house and regatón so the music was awesome to listen to and turn up. We stuck to buckets of seltzer and it's what you'd expect. The music and service made this so worth it for me. As a Linq hotel center resident? It was the perfect decision for our Saturday.

No outside service at All in our Cabana room. We had the flag up for well over a hour!! Not one person come by to take our order. We had to go to the bar to order drinks and food. The bartender was awesome but not the point of having a cabana room if your not going to get service! We didn't even see one server walk by our cabana. Very disappointing!!

$5.00 for a soda. Just a soda. No alcohol in it.. just a soda. Eh, I guess it's 'Vegas' so that makes sense, but... That aside: I do enjoy staying at the centrally located LINQ, and I do like their pool, but they could benefit from: 1) Having more chaise lounges. You could fit more in... 2) Daybed concept is interesting, but when on a summer afternoon the daybeds are empty and the pool / lounge chairs are teeming with people.. there's a bit of an imbalance there? I know they want to make $$ but... * shrugs* The positioning of the pool in relation to the hotel means that it doesn't get sun as long as other pools (e.g. I could see the Harrah's pool from our room, and they had sun until at least 6pm) The LINQ's pool was hidden from the sun by 4pm. Just something to note if you're a sun bird like me. The pool is open 9am - 5/6pm in the late spring. Come down early to get a spot. One day I came down at 10am, and all the lounge chairs were already taken. Good DJ. Their experience director, Alex, does some fun pool-themed activities and such, too. 2019: 21/100

If you are looking for a free pool party on the strip this is your spot. The pool is small but they play good music and it is a fun environment. It does not compare to the higher end pool parties but what do you expect for free? Drinks are good and priced similar to other strip pools ($12-$24).

Pros: There was a pool Cons: Just decent, nothing special and bring your ID. There isn't much shade at this pool and it's kinda small. We enjoyed the Flamingo pool next door a lot better. Prices are way too high and you felt no warmth or good service at all. I liked the prices of the hotel but the overall experience was just meh. The rooms had no great light based on where the hotel is located but location of strip is nice. Closing at 6pm is ridiculous in the summer.

This pool I must say is one of the ugliest pools I've been to in Vegas. Our server was nice so points for that but I felt like I was in a cement prison. The blue yellow and green paint on the building was just hideous. I will def not be returning here.

This pool was fun if you just want to relax, chill, and tan and don't want to do the rowdy and crowded pool parties like at the dayclubs at the other hotels. Be sure to get there early to avoid the crowd (it started to get packed by 11). The pool is 21+ which is a plus so you can just enjoy chilling in the pool or tanning on the chairs without kids running around. There was a live DJ who was lit and played good music (EDM, R&B, Top 40, Country). There's also cool games in the pool like beach beer pong and Jenga. There's also a bar in the back of the pool area so you can buy drinks. You also have a nice view of the High Roller Observation Wheel and the Linq Promenade. The only thing I didn't like was that there was a limited amount of lounge chairs. If you want to be right next to the pool, most likely the chairs are already taken. I went around 9:30AM (30 minutes after it opens) and it was already all taken. Walk towards the back kinda by the bar and you will find more lounge chairs but it just won't be next to the pool. You can also rent a cabana or daybed but honestly, if you're a girl, they don't really care if you take it for free. A group of girls took two daybeds and I heard the guy said that they can stay there until someone buys the daybeds that they occupied for free.

Five stars for my girl Corinne ( I hope that's her name) we went for my parents anniversary and I splurged and upgraded to a cabana room. She honestly made our time there so awesome. We asked her to do a shout out for my parents 45th anniversary and she timed it so perfect and even told us to stick around because she would have her manager do it soon. If you go to the pool please do yourself a favor and order from her, my whole family loved her and she was on point with all of our drinks. The pool was warm and kinda gross lol but we wanted to have fun so we tried not to think about it. We also went on one of the hottest days but 5 stars alone for her awesome service!!!

This place rules so hard if you like to dance and listen to great jams with great service. This is a very pro operation and they at the same time have fun. They server food drinks and its all very yummy to the last beat drop. I am a EDM musician as well and I can tell you the best part was watch the DJ they had, His name is/was Cam Colston . That dude blew the place ip with great mixes. I had to get up and talk to him in his booth. I actually ended up hanging out with him, great guy because he let me watch what he was doing so I could what its like to be a bad mo fo like him. I got his card wanted to post it as well in case anyone needs a faaaaaantastic dj. You could prolly email him to ask what his schdule is at the pool here as I reccommend comjng espiecally when he is hear. We where here a few nights and he didnt show up for other days : ( . The others where not as epic. This guy has something special Outside of that I would say the other really important tip and this a is a really good tip. Get a room at the hotel that has a cabana connected to it. This by far is the best option for this place hands down. Any other option is less superior lol . But really even if you don't have a crazy cool cabana you will still have a great time here if you enjoy partying crazy vegas style.

If I can leave a no starts at all I would. I literally booked a cabana day bed online. I asked to be moved a couple of times because the sun was really hitting hard and they mentioned they were sold out yet half of their beds were empty. I am a platinum card holder who I mean means nothing but I just wanted to express how I was feeling very uncomfortable yet the people in the little seats behind me were getting all the shade while I was roasting. I've stayed at the linq a couple of times and never had it been this way. But now I know to stay elsewhere as of people not purchasing anything get everything. Thank you. And the people greeting you should be a little nicer . They didn't even welcome us in.

Meh. I've been to a number of Vegas pools and this one is somewhere in the middle. View of the LINQ is cool, but a corner view. The color of rooms and sizes really takes away from the experience and vibe (and sun!) Music was decent for me but obviously depends on the DJs you get. They closed the pool at 5 in March. The pool was heated but with no sun it was getting cold. Group could be described as eclectic at best. Definitely a family vibe and not a get drunk and party pool.

21 and over pool. Spacious, friendly staff. Old and young, all together having a good time. They play the same 12 songs over and over. They have a DJ booth and some music variety would be great. Drinks $$&

I would've given this a better review because our server and the drinks were really good. Unfortunately this was the worst experience with security. After paying over $500 purchasing a cabana with a beer pong table, not including drinks which our tab was over $300 plus tip, and by the way we didn't get to use out beer pong table because "they had put them away..." our group felt discriminated because as soon as we got there we were told to wear a face mask at all times unless you're taking a drink or you're in the water. Fine, we did that and one security came up to our cabana as we were enjoying our drinks saying that they have been watching us and if they told us again we were going to get kicked out. We were so confused because we were sitting there drinking and putting our mask back on afterwards while there were multiple people walking around without their face masks on... MAKES NO SENSE! They said we had more than one warning and they had been watching us. That was a LIE! Because we were told once when we came in and then she came up to us talking about we would get kicked out if they told us again! There was no social distancing! And there was multiple people sun bathing WITHOUT their mask! And they didn't get told anything! Don't spend your money here! We spent a lot of money to enjoy the cabana and we felt really disappointed that security was picking on us. NEVER AGAIN!

The area is nice, the drinks are decent, the music if fun, don't waste a day in Vegas here. The rules and enforcing of such rules are so over the top it takes away most the fun. Mask are enforced to such a ridiculous standard that it makes it pointless. We reserved a day bed. It's me and my family who I live with. You must wear your mask even while at your bed even between drinks. To be clear, me and my brother were talking in between drinks and got called out for mask not being on. It's 110 degrees, it wasn't our plan to drink our beers slow. They explain in the pool, no mask are required. So if you're in the pool (closer to other people) the mask are no longer needed. If you are drinking in the pool, then hop onto the side to enjoy the talk to your group, they will come hawk you down. I then say, "ok, I'll just nap by the pool on my day bed". Security comes and wakes me up saying I can't nap by the pool. There are so many rules that it has ruined my day by the pool. Skip this, try another pool, spend your day elsewhere.

This pool area has come a long way. Huge upgrade...huge huge huge upgrade from what was previously Imperial Palace's pool area. Now known as The Linq's pool area, this new and improved space occupies a spa, full bar, two pools, lounge chairs, a live DJ, Daybed's that include flat screen tv's & privacy curtains, beer pong tables, and a nice view of the High Roller. I had a blast sipping a Jack & Coke while lounging in the sun. The bartender's and waitresses were cool as well chatting with me and friends while mixing up drinks. I also got to show off what I consider to be my "expert skills" at the beer pong table. Not sure everyone else saw it that way lol. The pool at the Linq is a great time and one of the more relaxing experiences I've had at a pool area this time of year in Vegas. Things tend to always get a bit crazy during Spring Break out there haha. Drinks 4/2/2016

This place is GARBAGE!!! Do NOT stay at this hotel. They don't care about their guests at all. The pool policy is a joke. You have to buy a $260 bed to get in the pool unless your there before 9am, and then you have to wear a mask at your $260 bed even though your laying there by yourself, but If you get in the pool you can take your mask off... doesn't make any sense since the pool is packed. And then!!!! The treatment from the pool police was so disrespectful, the way they spoke to us was terrible, like we were children. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY. This place RUINED my trip to Vegas that I specifically went to for the POOL

This place is cool! It's got the vibe of a European hostile, with a really eclectic group of people and fun music to listen to. I was blown away by the drinks. Our bartender did not MESS AROUND. Of course we opted to go for the 22 oz. "takeaway" cup, since you get $3 off on refills! It was so great that I refilled twice! Okay, the best drink I've ever had in my life was the Cool as a Cucumber. It has gin, cucumber soda, and kiwi syrup! Holy flavor explosion. I can't wait to come back!

The Pool at The LINQ is an awesome day club style pool. Music is always great and they bring in guest DJs that play fantastic music. The pool itself sits atop part of the old imperial palace over looking the LINQ promenade and has an air conditioned "rec room" where you can play pool or ping pong or just hang. The bar tenders are quick friendly and mix up reasonable priced drinks. The staff regularly toss various floating things in the pool, like unicorns, dragons, big blow beer bottles and lots of beach balls. It is a great party and a great time! Brooke Evers was here today and she played a blazing DJ set! Can't recommend it enough. Only gripe would be cell service, but that's not just limited to the LINQ it's this entire corridor of he strip, cell service is spotty and sometimes non existent, so couldn't check in while I was on site.

Overall, very average. When compared to the service, rooms, etc. in the hotel; at least it wasn't THAT awful. A few good things; daybed rental poolside was $120 (I appreciate that it's ridiculous that I feel that's a decent deal, but it is, so here we are) and was nice. The bartenders, when you went up to the bar, were attentive and friendly. The pool, while small, was nice and the crowd was a nice blend of ages, groups, couples, etc. Overall, and this was a consistent issue in every facet of The LINQ, the service was truly piss poor. The main benefit to the daybed was a dedicated waitress for food, drinks, etc. In over 4 hours of sitting poolside, we saw her three times...truly horrendous. The DJ played a solid mix of music, but the random hat on backwards, throw the football across the pool, shouting into the microphone, white dude was AWFUL. Just. Go. Away. Overall, decent pool and crowd. Horrible service and demeanor of staff, with a few exceptions. Went to The Flamingo pool (right next door) and it was infinitely better.

10/10. Daybeds were very reasonably priced and bottle service was great. Our waitress Alyssa was very prompt and hooked up happy hour for us. The DJ was killing it. Best part was the wild booty shaking contest and winner received champagne showers. The mt. Dew girls gave put free shirts and drinks, the Heineken girls have out free beers and apparel. They have beer pong, giant jenga, and an entire rec room. It's a party but more of a chill pool party since is doesn't get super over crowded so you can still swim or booty shake. They bring out giant inflatable swans and unicorns. Everyone is really nice.

This pool spot is pretty dope. Very full and packed! There's a bar outside and a lot of room for seating. They have the sprinkler sprayers! It's on the 2nd floor.

Great pool. The water needed to be swapped very badly. The upper pool was super warm for no apparent reason and you could barely see your feet in the water

Went here about few weeks ago, free for locals pretty laid back just to go swimming. So if you're a local I recommend for sure.

This pool is 21+ so it's not kid-friendly. It was pretty fun. It had a day-club feel, maybe a little less rowdy. There was a live DJ playing. We went on a Saturday in the summer so it was EXTREMELY crowded. We were really lucky to find four beds next to each other. The pools are small so it was pretty much standing room only. Since there was so many people, the water was really murky. Probably filled with sunblock, alcohol, sweat, semen, and god-knows-what. There were games like jenga, beer pong, and bean bag toss but those were all being hogged by the groups of bros that were there. My girlfriend and I were trying to take some pictures and we got photobombed twice by two "bros" who lingered LOL. BRO. Linq also provided really fun pool floaties (giant and mini beer bottle floaties, sting rays and popsicles you can lie on, and beach balls) that proved that pool toys aren't just for kids. People were hitting the beach balls around and it hit this older lady and she got mad and started giving dirty looks. LOL. Look around you lady! If you wanted to have a relaxing pool time, pay a few hundred more for a room at the Wynn! There's also a pretty cool rec room with a couple pool tables and a shuffle board table which was air conditioned. It was a nice little escape from the 110 degree weather. We looked at prices for daybeds and cabanas and it wasn't too bad ($150 for a daybed and $500something for a cabana) but it wasn't worth it since we weren't planning to stay out there all day. Overall, had a pretty good time but I can only give it 3 stars due to the crowd. But hey-- that's just Vegas for ya.

Not very happy here they forget to tell you that it's only 21 and older so if you have kids at this hotel forget it they send you packing to another hotel across the street I would have booked some where else had they maid that very clear

I was at this pool in May 2015. My husband and I were loyal Imperial Palace patrons and were hesitant about the transition, but love it now! Our room was also great, but I know this review is about the pool. So, here it goes.. We LOVED the pool! We rented a daybed, which included some sort of drink credit. I believe we paid around $80 for the day. The daybed is yours for the day, whether you come or go. It also had a safe to put valuables in, a very nice feature to have at the pool. We loved being able to lounge on the very comfy, roomy daybed and dip in the pool as needed. Each daybed also has its own umbrella. I enjoy the sun, but prefer to lounge in the shade so I am not fried by the end of the day. The day we were there we also witnessed some sort of floating objects in the pool, whether it was vomit or #2, we weren't ever really sure. They closed the pool down for about an hour to remove the mystery object and sanitize the pool. Although gross, my husband and I didn't mind much as we just lounged on the daybed and drank our delicious cocktails. We aren't too into the party scene, which this pool definitely has with the live dj and games, but I felt it was enough of a good balance for people to relax/have a good time and get wild if need be.

The hot tub at the pool was closed. Pool was blah, they tried to make it trendy but missed the mark. Whatever you do, don't take the side door by the walkway as it takes you down to the service alley area you can see from above. Not only are the doors locked behind you and you have to go thru an employee area to get out but the stairwell smells like a urinal.

Got the VegasVice and it was delish. Brandon at the bar and Maggie were very pleasant.

Just left.Security guard was rude to me, shaking his head looking me right in the eye, for not having my ID in hand when I walked up even though there was no one in line. Bartender then ignored me. Wow guys.

21+ area so don't bring your kids. Cabanas is $42 near the pool. Great service. Long Island drink is $18. Get ready to spend if you want to stay here. Look like the pool close at 6:00pm. Love this place..

I'd probably give it 4.5 if I had that option. It's a very different environment than Tao Beach Club, but if you're going to a pool party for the environment of fun, good DJ, and good drinks, then this is a good place. The prices weren't too bad and the service and environment were great. It does close at 5pm, so keep that in mind. I'd visit again and look into a cabana if with a group

Great time!! Pool is amazing.. Way better than other on the strip.. Food and drinks were top notch. The service was on point.. Next time you're wanting to come to a pool on the strip make sure to take a look at the LINQ!!!!!

There weren't a lot of people when I went with my sister. So they offered us a daybed and it was awesome.

Although the hotel is great location, BE Careful of the extra fees, bad experience, broken, not fully functional lamp, room not dusted and cleaned properly, dirty/ stained ice bucket, part of bed broken, late Messaging about pool, which access is needed before going, never did see the pool. Vending machine was never stocked. A total disappointment.

Shout out to the great bar tenders! They were super helpful and stay friendly; even under pressure. At one point the lid wasn't screwed onto my cup properly when given back to me, and it spilled almost immediately. Erwin was so helpful! he didnt hesitate to make it right, and was SO nice about the whole thing. We had a great time lounging in the pool, drinking and socializing. The music was bumping and we had a blast

Really fun pool with great DJ's, good food and drink options and amazing customer service! Highly recommend this pool!

Extremely disappointed at their pool policy during covid. If you don't arrive by 9:30am there is no way your getting a chance to enjoy the pool. Wish they had time slots and time limits so there's opportunities for more than the first 120 people to enjoy the pool.

As other people have said...Frank and Ryan are the best! They make the pool one of the best in Vegas. Do yourself a favor and get there!

Way too small. We went to the flamingo instead. Also I don't understand why pools close so early in Vegas.
