While Josh was at work, I took a nap and then got ready to meet him and his coworkers by the pool for lunch. What a life, huh? We went to the Cabana Grill, which operates as a takeout snack bar for pool patrons, but there is also a sit down area with table service.
I opted for a grilled ham and cheese sandwich because it came on a pretzel roll, which I was intrigued by. Sadly, while the pretzel bread was good, the sandwich bore no resemblance to having been grilled. The bread was still puffy and cold, the cheese was not melted nor was there a lot of it, and the sandwich dripped a thin honey mustard sauce the whole time, until the bread completely soaked through and disintegrated. I left behind a sad cold blob of ham and congealed cheese on my plate.

Josh fared much better with his order of chicken tenders, which was listed under the appetizer section but came in a huge bucket with waffle fries. There were at least seven tenders, and an endless supply of fries, so it was definitely a great value. The tenders were the standard frozen kind, but came out hot and crispy. The waffle fries were my favorite part though, so once I finished the stack that came with my sandwich, I “helped” Josh get through most of his fries. I know these are also the frozen kind but I absolutely love the seasoning on them, and when cooked properly, the waffle shape helps them retain a lot of crunch.

Again, this is a good place to get a snack or a drink (they have lots of frozen alcoholic beverages) when you’re hanging out by the pool, but not somewhere you would go out of your way to get to. The seating area is nice though, and has a good vantage point for people watching. There are definitely some interesting characters in Vegas, even by the pool. We saw one guy in a t-shirt and shorts, wearing a full red cape around his neck and black dress socks pulled up to his knees. Like I said – interesting!
