Encore Beach Club

Top choice in Las Vegas


Soak up sunshine on a larger-than-life 'lilypad,' bob around the pool to DJ-spun tunes, play high-stakes blackjack by the pool or kick back in a private bungalow or cabana with its own hot tub. The club features three tiered pools (one with an island platform for dancing), plus a gaming pavilion and top international DJs.

No 'European' (topless) sunbathing allowed. Follow the strict dress code to avoid being refused entry; check the website for details.
