Labor Day was insane!  Blazing hot, scantily-clad beautiful women and men, expensive but weak drinks, and not a place to sit... unless of course you reserve a cabana or daybed.  Fortunately for us, my fianc\u00e9 knew the promoter so we all got in for free (including him) and had a huge reserved area to ourselves! *score*\n\nI'll admit... I love to be poolside but not inside the pool. ;o)  Especially when it involves sharing the pool with 100s of strangers!  However, the water was clear & appeared clean.  My friends got in the pool but I didn't.  I covered myself in sunblock and still managed to get a tan. (I hate getting darker bc I'm dark enough as it is!)  \n\nBe prepared to drop serious $$$ on drinks.  Like any other club, bar, restaurant in Vegas they aren't cheap.  My girlfriend bought the 1st round of drinks - 2 cocktails and 1 beer. Total was $42.  The bartender was SLOW and tended to other patrons who arrived after us.  And she had the nerve to say she couldn't make a mojito bc she had no mint leaves.  We saw a tub full of mint leaves a few feet away from her. WTF?\n\nThe next round was on my fianc\u00e9.  I asked for a double bc my 1st drink was totally weak.  Total cost for 2 double cocktails was $60.\n\nOverall, I had a great time.  Lil Jon had a personal cabana across from us & that was our only celeb-sighting.  \n\nEncore Beach Club is a beautiful & relaxing pool party option.  Super chill and I loved seeing the ladies in bikinis paired with heels. Sexy!
