As the temperature was close to a staggering 110 degrees, we opted to relax by the pool at The Signature rather than sweat it out on the strip. We ordered lunch from the pool menu, which doesn\u2019t offer great variety but has the benefit of being delivered right to your lounge chair. And of course we had to have frozen cocktails, a mango margarita for me and a pina colada for Josh, though they melted rapidly in the heat.<\/p>\n

We shared an order of chicken tenders and fries, which came with bbq sauce, honey mustard, and ranch dressing. You can\u2019t go wrong with fried foods, although the chicken tenders were a bit heavy on the breading.<\/p>\n

We also split a grilled chicken panini with pesto sauce and mozzarella cheese. I wish it had been toasted for just a bit longer, as it wasn\u2019t quite warm and melty enough, but it was pretty tasty and the serving size was fairly substantial.<\/p>\n

We ordered another round of drinks later in the afternoon – a twisted pink lemonade for me and another pina colada for Josh.<\/p>\n

Overall it was not really a great meal, and pricey for what you get, but I wasn\u2019t expecting great or cheap food to be served at the pool. We had a wonderful day lounging by the pool and reading, only jumping in the water when the heat was too much to bear. And the lounge chairs are really comfortable – I took the most delicious nap in the late afternoon and woke up just as the sun was starting to set. It may not have been an exciting day in Vegas, but it was just perfect for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
