With an abundance of activities and attractions for everyone to do, this is the ideal location for family-friendly fun during the summer heat.\r\n<h2>The Pool at the Plaza<\/h2>\r\nWhat better way to beat the heat and introduce a sense of Classic Cool to your day than by lounging at the vintage Palm Springs-inspired rooftop <a href=\"\/hotel\/hotel-services\/the-pool-at-the-plaza\/\">Pool at the Plaza<\/a>. With 70,000 sq. ft. designed for your enjoyment, the Pool at the Plaza is one of the largest pool decks in Downtown Las Vegas. Plenty of cabanas and daybeds, poolside entertainment, and scenic views of the Fremont Street Experience makes this pool perfect for all-day relaxation.\r\n<h2>Commonwealth<\/h2>\r\nMore than just your standard bar, Commonwealth represents a new social opportunity in Downtown Las Vegas. Located on 525 E. Fremont Street, Commonwealth is a pre-Prohibition-style cocktail bar with a variety of off-the-wall drinks. There\u2019s even a hidden speakeasy lounge inside Commonwealth, called The Laundry Room. With two bars in the same building, this is a great place to grab a drink with friends and take in views of Fremont East from the open air atop the rooftop patio.\r\n<h2>First Friday Art Celebration<\/h2>\r\nJust as you\u2019d expect, the First Friday Art Celebration takes place on the first Friday of the month and is open to those of all ages. This free event features an ever-changing assortment of art, from ceramics to paintings, photographs to mixed media. Lots of food, drink and shopping opportunities are available in the area, too. Check it out at 107 E. Charleston Blvd from 6 \u2013 11 pm \u2013 the perfect timeframe for enjoying slightly cooler Las Vegas weather.\r\n\r\nIt certainly gets warm in Las Vegas over the summer, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to limit your activities to the confines of the casino. Instead, balance your agenda by visiting one or more of these unique destinations the next time you\u2019re in Downtown Las Vegas.\r\n\r\nSources:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/downtowncontainerpark.com\/\">http:\/\/downtowncontainerpark.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegas.com\/nightlife\/bars\/downtown-las-vegas\/commonwealth\/\">https:\/\/www.vegas.com\/nightlife\/bars\/downtown-las-vegas\/commonwealth\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/recesslv.com\/10870\/lets-go-to-the-laundry-room\/\">http:\/\/recesslv.com\/10870\/lets-go-to-the-laundry-room\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegas.com\/nightlife\/bars\/downtown-las-vegas\/artifice-urban-lounge\/\">https:\/\/www.vegas.com\/nightlife\/bars\/downtown-las-vegas\/artifice-urban-lounge\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasvegas.com\/event\/first-friday-art-celebration\/11674\/\">http:\/\/www.lasvegas.com\/event\/first-friday-art-celebration\/11674\/<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re planning a trip to Las Vegas over the next few months, you\u2019ll definitely want to compile a list of things to do that will help you beat the summer heat.
