Overview — The Scene
The Scene is Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s sixth-floor pool deck and includes two outdoor rooftop pools, hot tubs, sun loungers and dedicated cabanas and daybeds. The deck sits above the Strip and is described in hotel materials as the property’s main pool complex.
Pool access is free for registered hotel guests; non-hotel visitors may need a daybed or cabana reservation to enter. A lifeguard is on duty, and both pools are shallow recreational pools rather than deep-swimming pools.
- Two outdoor rooftop pools (North Pool and South Pool)
- Hot tubs located on the pool deck
- Lifeguard on duty
- Pool access free for hotel guests; reservations may be needed for non-guests

Adults vs family areas
The pool deck is divided between the North Pool, which is open to guests of all ages and is the family-friendly side, and the South Pool, which is reserved for guests 21 and older. Expect a livelier, DJ-driven atmosphere at the South Pool with a poolside bar serving cocktails.
Because check-in requires a primary guest age 21 or older, the property functions as an adults-oriented resort at the booking level even though children may stay in a booked room.
- North Pool: open to all ages — more family-friendly
- South Pool: 21+ only — DJ, day-club atmosphere and poolside bar
- Primary guest for room bookings must be 21+ with photo ID

|---|---|
| North Pool | Open to all ages |
| South Pool | Reserved for guests 21 and older |

The Scene has 38 cabanas across the two pools, plus daybeds and standard pool loungers. Cabanas include seating, towels and a dedicated space on the deck; some cabanas are described in hotel material as private seating with refreshments.
Cabanas and daybeds are popular on busy weekends and during pool-season events. Hotel guests have free deck access, but reserving a cabana or daybed in advance is recommended if you want guaranteed private seating.
