Bel-Aire Backyard

Food was awesome, servicw was great, n everyone was so pleasant. Restaurant was clean n music was off the wall. We loved that pool. It wasn't overly crowded. We had an awesome time. We really enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely return.

I love a new locals hangout & Bel-Aire is just that! It's the newly opened pool area at the Durango. Some friends and I went to kick off summer with a couple day beds for Memorial Day. We loved that it wasn't overly busy & the food/drink prices were really reasonable. When we came there wasn't a live DJ which was fine since the music was still good. It is all ages but there weren't a ton of kids. Food wise I thought the poke bowl was great. The quesadilla was just okay. Overall an awesome pool day & we'll definitely be back again. Beautiful space with friendly workers & great vibes.

What a vibe and literally my backyard! I love it here especially that they cater to locals on Recess Fridays and have a DJ! This is much better than the pool parties on the strip, which have limited pool chairs and space with a tiny pool where no one can really fit and enjoy their time there. The pool is large enough for everyone to enjoy and a backyard with 2 pool bars and an area to dine if you decide to order food. However, you have the option to sit wherever as there is seating throughout and also lounge in the pool area. The service was okay; sometimes you have to wave the server to remind them that you need to order. It can get super busy on a Friday, and I cannot evaluate their service at other times, but they tried their best to be accommodating and prompt with our order. Overall, this is something to check out at least once if you are a local and looking to cool off during the summer months.

Came here to get a quick bite to eat and drink before heading to the pool and to avoid paying the $40 entry fee for the pool. If you dine here, you are able to show your receipt at the entrance of the pool to get a stamp and towel. You are only allowed to sit in and open lounger though which is understandable.My friend and I each ordered a cocktail and we split the BBQ chicken quesadilla. My 32oz pina colada was absolutely terrible. It hardly had any flavor or alcohol in it and was mostly ice, that wasn't blended properly. IT was truly a disappointment. The quesadilla was also nothing to write home about. After all was said and done, we ended up paying just over $40 a piece but we didn't have to pay the pool entry fee and the price of a drink so we still came out ahead.The restaurant itself is very pretty and the vibe/people watching is great. So many beautiful women, both as the waitresses, hostesses, and patrons of the pool. It is outside and though it is covered and there are misters, it still gets pretty hot.

Had a lovely lunch here the other day. Service was quick and the food was yummy. Cocktails are a bit pricey but typical considering the venue/location. After lunch, we got comfy on one of the daybeds and enjoyed an afternoon of sun, pool and good vibes.The pool and its surrounding areas are well maintained. Staff overall are super attentive and very nice. I will be back soon for another staycation!!

I've never been to Palm Springs, but the pool at the new Durango casino definitely is giving Palm Springs vibes -- the sunny yellow daybeds, the astroturf near the back, the white curtains of the cabanas billowing in the breeze, and of course, the palm trees punctuating and surrounding this modern oasis in the desert.Ordinarily, the entry fee is $30 Monday through Friday, and $40 on the weekends, and even more on certain holidays. My friends were staying at this hotel, so I was able to enjoy complimentary admission with them.I was impressed with the cleanliness and overall atmosphere. The pool is on the smaller side, not too crowded. The lily pads and some chaise lounge chairs are actually on top of the water, so theoretically you never have to leave the poolside. There's a small fountain flowing in the center, which is reminiscent of Red Rock casino's style.I didn't try the food, but I did get a cocktail -- the TROPICAL MOJITO. It looked promising in its 14 oz glory and garnished prettily, but alas, it was rather weak, especially at $18. So I was disappointed in that regard. Thus, the missing star.Everything else was nice. Add Bel-Aire Backyard to the list of off-strip options for fun summer pool days in Vegas.

Open table swindled me! I thought the Bel-Aire Backyard lounge was participating in Restaurant Week but they weren't. Either way I had an amazing time. It was so nice to sit beneath the mist and enjoyed a nice lunch while watching others enjoy the pool. The DJ was spinning a nice playlist.The food was decent. I enjoyed the Durango Roll. It had pineapple inside which was a nice and brought an unexpected flavor profile with the tuna.The steak frites were recommended by my server. I normally don't like shoestring fries but these were so crispy and seasoned. The steak was a typical flank steak. I didn't like the sauce that came with it but overall the dish wasn't bad.The buffalo wings I was not a fan of. I didn't like the cut of the wings and the excess Red Devil or Franks Hot sauce coated on top.

This place is exceptional! My friend and I decided to come today April 15th 2024. We arrived around 12:30pm and talked to the girls in the front at check In they went over the daybed and cabana prices. We were more interested In just paying for GA since we just wanted to eat and lay out and we're not interested in drinking.The girls were nice enough to let us in with two lounge chairs in the pool right next to the bar with perfect sun. We ordered some coconut waters and some food, we ordered the yellowtail, Durango roll and Caesar salad, the food was absolutely delicious. The weather was perfect the music was amazing and it wasn't busy so that was nice. We had a few different servers helping us and they were so sweet!! We enjoyed our time here and left around 5pm we will definitely be back to check out a daybed and bring some more friends!! Thank you Bel aire backyard for an amazing time, this is definitely a great locals spot the vibe of a strip day club without the tourists and price gouging and rudeness, shout out to yall we will be back!!

$40 entry as a local on a Sunday. Felt a little pricey, but hopefully that helps keep the crowd a bit more classy. It's worth it to get a daybed or cabana since the free lounge chairs fill up quickly, and the only other option is to spread your towel out on the turf on the outskirts of the pool area. The vibes were pretty good no matter what section you were in, though. We arrived around 2 p.m., and the pool and pool bars were very busy. They were also sold out of all cabanas and daybeds already. For drinks, we started with skinny margaritas, and I thought it was a great drink--exactly what I asked for. We also ordered an açaí bowl and French fries, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were since I didn't have super high expectations for pool food. Overall, we had a fun time without even dipping in the pool once. I'll certainly return!

We always have a good time here. It's definitely been our go to spot for the summer. I've eaten lunch a few times at the bar, always delicious. We've reserved some day beds a couple of times, always a good time. Music is always on point. Bathroom is always clean, service is always good. One of the bartenders is my favorite - he always wants to talk sports betting which I'm very into. Always enjoyed each bartender we've had. Been there on weekends and during the week for lunch and prefer during the week. Less busy and less money to get in. Valet is always free and it's right next to the pool so use valet and tip those guy.
