First look: See photos of the giant pool coming to Las Vegas' Circa Resort & Casino

LAS VEGAS — Next week marks a big day for tourists strolling Fremont Street.

On Oct. 28, Circa Resort & Casino will open to visitors. That means guests will have access to the resort property's giant, temperature-controlled destination pool.

It's called "Stadium Swim," and it's a highly anticipated aquatic entertainment center, including a huge screen, that will be open 365 days a year.

The Reno Gazette Journal, which is part of the USA TODAY Network, got early access to the resort to tour the casino and get a first-hand look at the amphitheater pool.

Here's a first look inside Stadium Swim:

The big screen

The first thing you see entering Stadium Swim is the giant 135-foot screen overlooking the pools.

This is where guests will be able to catch the biggest games on game day – poolside.
