By Heather Waugh

Lady Gaga had a slither of downtime in between shows on her ArtPop tour.

After performing in Las Vegas on Friday the star headed straight for her next stop and spent some time poolside at Harveys Casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

In one cheeky Instagram shot the 28-year-old diva displayed her derriere in a barely there nude bathing suit and captioned: 'Pooltime babies'

She also got in some holiday reading with a crime novel and read it as she stood sunning her shoulders in the aqua blue water.

With her curly black locks pinned up out of the way and covering her eyes in a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses, the pop diva looked thoroughly content.

In another photo Gaga posed with a white wine spritzer in hand. Looking like she'd just arrived at the lakeside resort, she leaned against a railing in her wild curly wig wearing a pair of ripped Daisy Dukes and black boots. She wrote alongside it simply: 'Nevada'
