Swimming Pools at the Mardi Gras Las Vegas

Surrounded by the hotel buildings, the central courtyard provides plenty of secluded green space with trees and several picnic tables with umbrellas to shade the sun when enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Also located here is the gated pool and hot tub.  The pool deck offers more tables with umbrellas for shade and loungers for those who want to catch a few rays while on vacation. Make a splash in the pool to cool off after venturing out to the Strip, or decide to make it a day and hang out pool-side. When you’re ready for lunch or dinner, head inside for a quick bite at the Bon Temps Cafe.  If a long day of sightseeing has your feet sore, slip into the hot tub to relax for a bit. It’s the perfect time to make plans for the next day’s adventure. The separate spa in the gated pool area is quite large and will sit several adults.  Be sure to ask housekeeping for the front desk for additional towels if you will be visiting the pool or spa. The pool is open daily, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but is closed seasonally.

Mardi Gras Las Vegas is a Family Friendly hotel

Families staying at the Mardi Gras Inn will enjoy the large central courtyard. Green space is perfect for enjoying the fantastic weather for which Las Vegas is known. If it gets a bit warm, duck under a tree or sit at a shaded picnic table. You can also make a splash into the guest-exclusive, gated swimming pool. Covered tables provide respite from the sun, or feel free to soak it up in one of the many loungers. The pool is open seasonally.

The Mardi Gras is also conveniently located near popular family-friendly activities on the Las Vegas Strip, including the Fashion Show Mall, the Adventuredome at the Circus Circus, and the Wynn Golf Club. The Las Vegas Monorail is easily accessible, with the Convention Center station just a few minutes’ walk away. Not only is this a fun way for families to see the Strip, but it also opens up more family-friendly attractions a bit farther away. 

Children under the age of 17 stay free when registered with an adult over the age of 21, as long as the occupancy does not exceed the maximum number allotted for the size of the room. Cribs and rollaway beds are not provided, but families bringing playpens and portable cribs will have plenty of space in these oversized suites.

Mardi Gras Las Vegas is on the North of the Strip

While not as densely packed as the Mid Strip or South Strip, the northern end of Las Vegas Boulevard is still home to some big resorts that offer fun attractions, fantastic shows, and fabulous shopping for adults and families alike.

The Fashion Show Mall is the largest stand-alone mall on the Strip, whereas most others are located inside resorts. Head here for the food court and some serious shopping over more than 2 million square feet. It’s hard not to notice with “The Cloud” canopy overhead and other unique architectural features.

Adventuredome at the Circus Circus is an indoor theme park with everything from kids’ rides to a roller coaster and log ride and even a midway with carnival games. If you’re more of a thrill-seeker, head to The STRAT, where you can shoot into the air at 45 mph on the Big Shot or hang over the edge of the 900-foot high SkyPod on the spinning “Insanity” ride.

If you’re looking for calmer attractions, and more down to Earth, check out those at Resorts World, Sahara Las Vegas, or even the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Fremont Street Experience and the Art District are also not too far away and offer plenty to do and see.

Mardi Gras Las Vegas is a Hotel with Smoking Rooms

Smoking rooms are available at the Mardi Gras Inn, allowing guests to smoke in their suite without going outside or walking to a designated smoking area. You will see signs outside and inside the room letting you know it’s okay to smoke indoors. You must smoke safely, and it’s requested that you also keep ashes as tidy as possible. Ashtrays will be emptied with maid service, but you can ask for an additional ashtray from housekeeping or the front desk if needed.

Outside of your room, smoking is allowed in the casino and several other designated areas indicated with signs. Most inside bars and restaurants do not allow smoking. However, if you are ever unsure, you can always ask a Mardi Gras employee, and they would be happy to let you know if smoking is allowed or guide you to the closest location. 

Smoking in a non-smoking room is not allowed. The hotel may impose a cleaning fee on top of your security deposit and decide to end your stay. If you’ve booked a smoking room, be sure to confirm at check-in that you’ve been assigned one of them. The Mardi Gras Inn has smoking rooms available in all sizes: King, Queen, and Double Queen. 

Mardi Gras Las Vegas has Suites

As an all-suite hotel, every room at the Mardi Gras Inn has a small living area with a sofa, coffee table, and a bar with bar stools. They offer King, Queen, or Double Queen rooms, although the Double Queen may have a smaller living area. Some Queen rooms are available with a floor-level pool view that includes easier access. 

Rooms are large, starting at nearly 430 square feet, making them ideal for more extended stays or if you are traveling with family or as a small group. A Double Queen room can comfortably sleep four adults with a maximum occupancy of five. While the decor is simple, it is also tasteful and cozy. Daily maid service keeps your room tidy throughout your stay.

The Inn is smoker friendly, with both smoking and non-smoking rooms offered. Every room is equipped with climate control and a refrigerator, hairdryer, and iron with ironing board, to name just a few in-room amenities. You’ll find complimentary toiletries and WiFi, local calls, and parking are included in the resort fee. 

All rooms overlook the secluded central courtyard with ample green space, trees, shaded picnic tables, and the gated pool area with a separate spa.
