Las Vegas: Not quite show-it-all swim pools

It couldn’t be more descriptive, but the recently-opened pool at The Artisan Hotel in Vegas called Naked isn’t quite that. Actually, it allows guests, locals and tourists to swim wearing only bottoms.

The Artisan, a non-smoking, non-gambling boutique hotel about a mile from Las Vegas Boulevard, has just one of Sin City’s several topless pools for adult-only swimming. There’s also Bare, the pool at The Mirage on what is now aptly called the Las Vegas Strip.

Also on the Strip, Caesars Palace has the Venus, and in the Beach area at Mandalay Bay is the private Moorea. Additionally, Beach Club 25 is located on the 25th floor of the World Tower at the Stratosphere Hotel.

Calming Canines Ease Airport Stress PDF Print E-mail


According to a USA Today report, many airports now offer friendly dog therapy for passengers and families in waiting areas. Especially at this busy time of year, the crowds, noise and confusion can be overwhelming.

A friendly paw, furry coat and wagging tail can do much to ease the stress of travelers of all ages. So far, as many as 40 U.S. airports feature volunteer dog owners and their specially-trained pets offering the free canine therapy. Some include: Los Angeles International Airport offers its Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUP) program. The FLL AmbassaDogs program is at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Reno-Tahoe International Airport has Paws 4 Passengers, and San Francisco International Airport features its Wag Brigade. Others are Miami International Airport, San Antonio International Airport and Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2014/11/19/airport-therapy-dogs
