As a local, Daydream used to be one of my favorite summer pools. They have a great dj, drink and food prices were relatively reasonable, local ladies were free, and I believe entry for all others was only $10. You could get a lounger, daybed, or cabana by meeting a food and beverage minimum for your party. Even though it is a bit far away, it was always a great place for a fun pool day, especially if you didn't want to deal with the madness of a Strip pool party.\n\nUnfortunately, I was a bit dismayed at how Daydream has changed this year. The good news is that dj is still good, the pool area lovely, and all of the servers are very friendly and check on you throughout the day.\n\nHowever, it seems that Daydream has lost it's love for locals. Now, entry is $20 if you are not a hotel guest (and yes, that includes ladies), and there are flat fees for the loungers, beds, and cabanas, no matter how much you spend on food and beverage. Obviously this is a money making tactic, because most people will spend a good amount anyway on drinks at a pool party, so the flat fee just adds to what the pool recoups. One of the managers said it was because people were leaving before reaching the minimum or skipping out on the bill, but that's why you secure the amount with a credit card up front- easy. I understand that they want to maximize profits, but now Daydream has lost the very thing that set them apart and makes it a little less appealing, especially for locals.\n\nI still have some love for Daydream, but I hope it doesn't turn into a local's nightmare.
