Pool without the Party?

If you ask in the Venetian hotel, they'll explain where to go to get the handstamp. There is no charge to get the stamp/no need for a tip. This stamp is just to allow you up in the elevators and into the main pool area. You have to walk through the main pool area to get to Tao Beach. So if you are just going to stay at the main pool, you won't need any tip at all.

are you able to collect towels this way? I forget but dont you also pass the main pool's checkin and have to show your pass? I have thought about doing this as i like their main pool but dont want to waste time and not get in.

Ohh good question. You'll be able to get in with just the stamp only, but I remember them saying to wait to grab towels until you get to Tao Beach. Maybe they check cards at the main pool towel stand?

Thanks... But the point is to stay at the venetian pool and not go to Tao... at least that's my plan. Do they really check for keys at the towel stand?.. damn!
Also, I guess is better to try this when Tao is open.. The whole stamp deal wont fly at 8am when the reg pool opens (and Tao opens at 10am), right?

I don't know about the towel thing. I've never actually done this (gotten the stamp and just stayed at the main pool), but I've been to Tao Beach several times and it's always so easy to just get the stamp and get into the main pool. It was very obvious that it would have been easy to just stay at the main pool without anyone caring or noticing. People at Tao Beach have to go back out to the main pool to get to a restroom anyway.

You should be able to get towels w/o having to show your room key. The only time they'll ask for your room key or stamp for entry is at the podium in front of the towel booth so after that podium you're good to go to do whatever you want w/o having to show room key/stamp again.

Good to know. Thanks

Generally towels are free to use no room key needed.
