Since reopening, Southern California’s casinos are slowly bringing back certain amenities and figuring out how to manage them during the novel coronavirus pandemic and for some casinos that’s meant figuring out how to get people safely splashing and soaking up the sun at the pool.

Though some casinos have kept their pools closed, others have started to reopen.

Here are four Southern California casinos that have their pool areas open and what you can expect if you visit.

Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage

Pool Hours: 9 a.m.-7 p.m.

Who can go: Pool is available to hotel guests only.

The desert casino has two swimming pools, a jetted spa and cabanas available for rent.

When guests arrive, they’re escorted to an area at the pool, where the surrounding furniture is removed or “Reserved Social Distancing” signage is placed on all tables within six feet of guests. Masks are not required in the pool area, but they are required to and from the pool.

Harrah’s Resort Southern California 

Pool Hours: 8 a.m.-7 p.m. for pool area and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. for bar.

Who can go: Pool is available to hotel guests only. Must be 21 or older.

Harrah’s announced the reopening of its pool in early June, including its Main Pool, Swim-Up Bar, hot tubs and waterfall jacuzzi pool. Its lazy river has since reopened, too.

Visitors to the pool must wear a face mask unless they are eating, drinking, smoking or swimming. They’re asked to keep a distance of six feet from other visitors and should avoid congregating in groups, the casino says. Alcohol orders can only be made with food orders.

On weekdays, hotel guests will be admitted on a first come, first served basis. On weekends they have to reserve a slot and in person during one of three time slots: 8-11 a.m.; noon-3 p.m.; and 4-7 p.m. Once their slot is ready, guests have to arrive within 20 minutes to claim it.

Pool hours: 8 a.m.-8 p.m.

Who can go: Pool is available to hotel guests only. Must be 18 or older.

Morongo’s Oasis pool area has a pool, a lazy river, sandy beach and two heated spa tubs.

Casino officials say that social distancing is required and being enforced and that sit-down food service from the pool area’s Sunset Bar has been temporarily closed.
