Sometimes Las Vegas just has a way of taking an idea, combining it with other ideas, and making a creation that much better. As always, at Vegas Betting, we have the latest local news on what has truly become quite the Las Vegas experience.
Some thought this idea of swimming with sports, and sports betting would be a total flop. It does seem a little crazy to think people would watch television, bet, and swim all at the same time. However, the more word of mouth got off, the more this concept grew.
The best way to look at Stadium Swim is this. It takes the idea of booming music, a lot of sports lovers, and the water. Okay, it is more than that but as Chris Wilberding, the VIP Manager says,
“We combine sports with a dayclub,” says Stadium Swims VIP Manager, Chris Wilberding. “It’s Stadium Swim, you got to have the great music, it’s got to be pumping in here.”

The atmosphere at Stadium Swim is what makes it the “institution” that it has become. Now, of course, there is always that one thing that is synonymous with the city of Las Vegas. Plus, one never quite knows who will show up there.
This is just a small illustration of why Vegas is what it is. In the summertime or almost anytime, so many people go through Circa Las Vegas on a typical day. However, where do you see sports, celebrities, and water intersecting all at the same time? Naturally, those things happen at the pool.
Circa’s focus on sports betting is very evident. How much so? Just take a look at Stadium Swim and all that it brings to the table.
From looking at this in several ways, the venue is quite massive. These are those who are keen on NFL Betting with a gleam in their eye and no doubt Circa owner Derek Stevens shares this vision.
Stadium Swim features daybeds, music, cabanas, and daybeds among its amenities. On the other hand, all that most anyone talks about is the gigantic 143-foot high-definition screen. That screenplays sports 24-7 including betting information and much more. It comes in at a staggering 14 million pixels. Now, talk about one huge way to watch sports.
Again, the intentions are simple. This is a place that is quintessential in Las Vegas. It has everything one could ask for and did we mention that the pool and rooftop are climate controlled?
Now, there can be parties on this rooftop but it is a place that can seat up to a whopping 4,000 people. That is a staggering number.
Obviously, sports betting is a significant part of the focus here. Everything else adds to the experience and that is how Las Vegas functions and thrives. It is not just about the betting, it is about combining elements around that facet err asset.
Again, people know when they are in Vegas, the commonly preached concept is the atmosphere. Others will argue that it is entertainment. Either way, Stadium Swim has both in many ways.
The ambiance and vibe are just different at Circa Las Vegas period when one compares it to most hotels. Part of that is because of the rooftop pool but again a bigger part is the people, the bets, the sports, and all those amenities.
The one thing we forgot to mention was the food and drink. How could anyone forget about that? Stadium Swim headlines a food and cocktail menu that rivals not only any pool in Vegas but honestly some restaurants as well. It seems there are so many things bordering on overload but again sensory overload is what Vegas thrives on after all.
If that was not enough, there are poolside gambling options besides sports betting. Wait, one wanted to play some table games while swimming. Hey, you can do that too all at Stadium Swim. Table games include poker and blackjack with plans to expand on that in 2022.
Now, with all the nuances, the rooftop locale has seen its fair share of those who are also involved in betting as far as Vegas.
It’s a great question. The answer expects to come into focus in time as Circa Las Vegas put it. They hope that COVID begins to fade a bit in the next couple of months. With the NFL season approaching, do not be shocked if some NFL players might make their way to the iconic pool.
Again, it is not uncommon to see celebrities, as we mentioned above. So, certainly, the chances of seeing all walks of sports and celebrity life are more the norm than the exception. After all, Vegas is truly an all eyes on me type of place. Circa Las Vegas operates the same kind of way.
These are things that fit into growing the brand presence of Stadium Swim whether it is online, social media, or by word of mouth. It is a venue that is not going away anytime soon. If anything, they are expected to keep growing in popularity.
Just ride the wave, the music, and place your bets!
