			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing says refreshment like a mojitio.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolChairsLift.JPG"><img class="size-full mr-image-4975 aligncenter" title="Pool Chairs with Forklift" src="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolChairsLift.JPG" alt="PoolChairsLift" width="518" height="320" /></a>Get ready to pull up a daybed, pop a bottle (or two) and bring in this year&#39;s pool season at one or both of our amazing pools! Between our <a href="http://www.themresort.com/blog/tag/pool/" target="_blank">Main Pool</a> and <a href="http://www.daydreamlv.com/" target="_blank">DayDream</a>, our 21 and older pool club, we have over 100,000 square feet of pool paradise and our team has been working endlessly to ensure that each and every detail is just right to cool you off this spring and summer!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolChairsDayStack.JPG"><img title="Pool Chairs Cushions" src="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolChairsDayStack.JPG" alt="PoolChairsDayStack" width="251" height="165" /></a> <a href="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolCushions.JPG"><img title="Pool Cushions" src="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolCushions.JPG" alt="PoolCushions" width="257" height="165" /></a></p>
<p>Preparing 100,000 square feet of space is a huge task and our team began  work as soon as last season ended. Although we make improvements  year-round, the pace really starts picking up in February when all of  the last-minute details are being finalized. In preparation for the  official opening, the pool equipment goes through inspection and  servicing as well as deep cleaning. <a href="../tag/pool/" target="_blank">The pools</a> are drained and acid washed, furniture is evaluated for repair and  replacement needs and our decks are power washed so they are spotless  for guests. The last step is moving over 400 chairs and numerous daybeds  out of storage and into position.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolChairsTruck.JPG"><img class="alignnone size-full mr-image-4976" title="Pool Chairs Truck" src="http://www.themresort-mvision.com/blog-uploads/PoolChairsTruck.JPG" alt="PoolChairsTruck" width="569" height="287" /></a></p>
<p>After cleaning and servicing, it&#39;s time to stock up! Our pool bars go through a lot of liquid and we can&#39;t blame them; it gets hot out here in the desert. Both bars are fully stocked to satisfy our guests&#39; orders for cocktails, beers, bottle service and drinks by the pitcher. Mojitos anyone?</p>
<p>Our large deck can accommodate up to 6,000 people, but on a busy weekend you&#39;ll probably see about 1,500 guests throughout the day. With that many people, we need a lot of towels. On an average weekday we go through over 800 towels and on a weekend over 2,000!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.daydreamlv.com/" target="_blank">DayDream</a> is now open to the public for your pool and sun bathing needs and our <a href="http://www.themresort.com/blog/tag/pool/" target="_blank">Main Pool</a> will be opening on May 1. We have a quarter of a million gallons of (heated) water in all of <a href="http://www.themresort.com/blog/tag/pool/" target="_blank">our pools</a> and over 60 trained team members to make sure your every need is taken care of. Grab your swimsuit and dive in on your next visit to <a href="http://www.themresort.com/" target="_blank">M</a>!</p>
