Lounging around in marbled luxury, with poolside drinking and gambling, surrounded by beautiful people... those Romans knew how to enjoy themselves. And you can live like an emperor in your very own high-rise villa in Vegas, overlooking the Garden of the Gods pool complex of the Octavius Tower of Caesar's Palace.

It's a location made for a bachelor party, and indeed the hotel starred in that very role in the 2009 movie The Hangover. It's easy to understand how you could mislay the groom a day before his wedding when there are no fewer than six pools for socialising, relaxing, or topping up your tan, from the Fortuna Pool which offers swim-up blackjack, to the Venus Pool with the roving margarita and mojito cart.

Day visitors and guests from other parts of the hotel might choose to rent one of the pool-side cabanas with well-stocked refrigerator, flat-screen TV, DVD player and Wi-Fi access. But for the truly cool pool experience you'll want to rub shoulders with the high-rollers staying in one of the four very glamorous European-styled villas.
