MGM Spa Day Pass: The Pool Ticket Is Hard to Find. The Spa Bundle Is Not.
The MGM spa day pass that is actually bookable is at MGM National Harbor in Maryland, not at a Las Vegas property. On September 21, 2026, the ResortPass Spa and Pool Day Pass was $75 per adult Monday to Thursday and $150 Friday to Sunday, before a 12% fee and tax. The verdict on this one is conditional. It is good value on a weekday for a couples spa day or a D.C.-area recharge. It is much less so on a weekend. The outdoor pool is closed until Memorial Day, so today this is a spa pass.
What “MGM spa day pass” actually means by property
Searching “MGM spa day pass” pulls up two very different resorts. They share a parent company and a brand name. That is where the similarity ends.
MGM Grand Las Vegas is one of the largest hotels on the Strip. Its pool complex is open to guests of any MGM Resorts property, and visitors can reserve paid seating such as cabanas and daybeds. MGM’s page lists no general per-person day pass for non-guests (MGM Grand pool page, checked September 21, 2026). Wet Republic, the pool party club that used to be the non-guest option there, has been replaced by Palm Tree Beach Club. It is run by TAO Group and sells tickets event by event, Wednesday through Sunday (TAO Group, checked September 21, 2026). We did not find a cover price on the official pages. If a Las Vegas pool party is your goal, that is covered in the Las Vegas resort day pass guide.
MGM National Harbor sits in National Harbor, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. Its 27,000-square-foot spa is sold to non-guests as a day pass through ResortPass. The price data below comes from the ResortPass booking backend, queried live for this article using the method described on our about page (ResortPass shop API, checked September 21, 2026). This is the MGM property the rest of this article covers.
How much does the MGM National Harbor day pass actually cost?
The Spa and Pool Day Pass costs $75 per adult Monday to Thursday and $150 Friday to Sunday. We checked 41 consecutive dates from September 22 to November 1, 2026 on September 21, 2026. The pass was bookable on every one, and the price split was the same all 41 days. These are pre-fee base prices. ResortPass adds a 12% service fee on every booking we checked, and 6% tax applies to the price plus the fee.
The standalone Pool Day Pass is listed at $50 Monday to Thursday and $75 Friday to Sunday. It is for ages 21 and over. It was blocked out on all 41 dates we checked. The pool is also closed from September to May, so this pass is not a realistic option until next summer. The Pool Daybed is listed at $300 to $400, and a test cart on September 21, 2026 returned “no longer available.”
Treatment bundles suit guests who want to anchor the day around a service. A 50-minute custom massage with spa access was $228 Monday to Thursday and $250 Friday to Sunday. The 50-minute couples massage bundle was $432 per couple on every date we checked. A 50-minute facial bundle was $225. MGM says a 20% service charge on the treatment is collected on site. Treatments must be scheduled with the spa at 301-971-6115 at least 48 hours ahead.
MGM National Harbor Spa Day Pass: True Cost
What is actually included in the MGM National Harbor spa day pass
The Spa at MGM National Harbor is a 27,000-square-foot facility with eleven spa rooms (MGM spa page, checked September 21, 2026). MGM’s own page lists spa hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday to Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday to Saturday. ResortPass lists 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The two disagree, so plan around the earlier close.
The ResortPass listing for the Spa and Pool Day Pass includes the Roman hot tub and men’s and women’s saunas and steam rooms. It also lists a relaxation lounge, lockers and showers, a welcome mimosa, Wi-Fi, and complimentary valet parking. The reservation is for up to 3 hours, and guests can arrive at any time during spa hours. The pass is for adults 18 and over. Towels, robes, and slippers are not named on the spa pass listing, so ask at the desk. The outdoor pool is listed as seasonal and runs Memorial Day to Labor Day, so it is closed now.
One access question is unresolved. ResortPass sells pool access to non-guests, but MGM’s own FAQ says the pool is only open to hotel guests. We could not reconcile the two. It does not affect a spa visit today because the pool is closed. It matters for a summer visit, so confirm with the spa before you count on the pool.
| Amenity | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roman hot tub | Part of spa access | |
| Men's and women's saunas | Part of spa access | |
| Men's and women's steam rooms | Part of spa access | |
| Relaxation lounge | Part of spa access | |
| Lockers and showers | Men's and women's | |
| Welcome mimosa and Wi-Fi | Per the ResortPass listing | |
| Complimentary valet parking | Per the ResortPass listing; confirm at the Spa Desk | |
| Seasonal outdoor pool | Memorial Day to Labor Day only; MGM's FAQ says hotel guests only | |
| Towels, robes, slippers | Not named on the spa pass listing | |
| Fitness center | Not listed with the day pass | |
| Spa treatments (massage, facial) | From $225 as a bundle | Book by phone 48 hours ahead; 20% service charge on site |
| Pool Daybed | Listed at $300 to $400 but 'no longer available' in a cart on September 21, 2026 | |
| Food and beverages | Menu pricing on-site | Outside food policy not confirmed |
| Self-parking (if not using valet) | From $15/day | Free for MGM Rewards members |
Check-in reality at MGM National Harbor
MGM National Harbor is a full casino resort. When you arrive with a ResortPass booking, bring a valid photo ID to the 4th floor Spa Desk to check in (ResortPass listing, checked September 21, 2026). Do not go to the main hotel front desk. Because the pass lasts up to 3 hours, arriving at opening gives you the most flexibility.
Parking is the logistical wrinkle. Non-members pay from $15 per day for self-parking, a policy that began July 13, 2026 (MGM parking page and The BayNet, checked September 21, 2026). MGM Rewards is free to join, and members self-park free. Valet for non-members is $35 for up to 12 hours. The ResortPass listing includes complimentary valet with the spa pass, and MGM’s FAQ says valet is complimentary for guests of the Spa and Salon. Confirm at check-in that your pass qualifies before you hand over the keys.
One thing worth knowing about the booking flow is the cancellation window. Our test carts were refundable until the end of the day before the visit. The ResortPass cancellation and refund policy article explains how disputes are handled and what the window looks like before you commit.
Pool vibe and who this is for
The spa circuit is adult-oriented and quiet by design. The spa pass is for adults 18 and over, and the pool-only pass is for ages 21 and over. Children are not part of the picture here. For a D.C.-area family pool day, this is the wrong venue.
For couples planning a date day, a birthday, or a post-work decompression that needs more than a gym, the spa pass offers real value on a weekday. The couples massage bundle builds the treatment and the spa access into one price.
- Couples spa day · Two adults on a weekday pay $178.08 all in for the spa access on September 22, 2026. Add the couples massage bundle for a full treatment day.
- D.C.-area locals · No overnight commitment needed. A weekday spa visit is a low-cost escape from the city.
- Post-checkout recharge · If you are already staying nearby, the pass covers a spa visit for up to 3 hours without another night.
- Spa-first visitors · Anyone who wants a treatment-anchored day. The massage and facial bundles build spa access into the treatment price.
- Families with children · The spa pass is for adults 18 and over. The pool-only pass is for ages 21 and over.
- Weekend budget shoppers · Two adults on a Friday were $356.16 all in on September 25, 2026, before food. Run the room math first.
- Pool-only visitors · The pool-only pass was blocked out on every date we checked. The outdoor pool is closed from September to May.
- Anyone counting on the pool · MGM's FAQ says the pool is for hotel guests. Confirm pool access with the spa before a summer booking.
What to bring and pro tips
Bring a swimsuit for the hot tub, plus sandals for the wet areas. Ask at the desk about towels, robes, and slippers, since the listing does not name them. Budget for at least one meal or snack if you plan a long visit, and treat food as a separate line item.
Join MGM Rewards before your visit if you plan to self-park. The program is free, activation can take up to 24 hours, and you can add up to two license plates to the account. That avoids the $15 daily fee if the complimentary valet does not apply to your booking.
Book the weekday pass as far ahead as you can. The weekday price is half the weekend price for the same access. The ResortPass page shows live availability by date, so check several dates before settling on one.
For couples, the couples massage bundle at $432 per couple (checked September 23, 2026) includes the treatment and spa access for both partners. If a couples treatment is already in your plan, the bundle avoids paying for two spa passes on top of a standalone treatment.
The better alternative: room math and nearby options
The room math is worth running before any Friday to Sunday booking. MGM lists a resort fee of $27 per night plus tax (MGM terms, updated August 26, 2026). We did not price a room for this guide. Two adult passes on a Friday were $300 base before the fee and tax. Compare that with the direct room rate for the same night. The resort day pass vs. booking the room post walks through the math framework.
The Gaylord National Resort sits nearby in National Harbor and also sells passes through ResortPass. On September 21, 2026 its listing showed a Spa Pass from $50 and a Day Pass plus Spa Pass from $95 that includes an indoor pool. We did not confirm the indoor pool’s year-round schedule with the resort. It is worth comparing if the MGM outdoor pool is closed.
For the Las Vegas version of this question, the Mandalay Bay day pass is the closest Strip equivalent. Its general admission is a weekday product from about $25 in season (verified July 2026), a very different price point from a spa bundle.
If the spa circuit is the goal and the weekend price feels high, book the weekday Spa and Pool Day Pass instead. It is the same access at half the base price, at $75 per adult on the dates we checked in September 2026. Two adults on a Tuesday were $178.08 all in.
