If you’re a sports fan, don’t miss the pro golf, soccer, and football events happening this spring, which you can watch on the 143-foot screen.

Even better, if you’re staying at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, you’ll get complimentary access to Stadium Swim for all your spring break needs!

 

NHL Playoffs | All Spring

The end of the current NHL season has come to an end, but that doesn’t mean hockey season is over. Catching a Vegas Golden Knights game is a great springtime activity now that the Golden Knights are the Pacific West Champions and are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

If you can’t make it to the T-Mobile Arena for a live game, head to the sportsbook, the pool, or a sports bar to catch a game on the screen. The NHL watch parties at Stadium Swim will be some of the best spring pool parties in Vegas – especially when the Golden Knights play. Cheer on with the locals, and cross your fingers during the playoffs!
