Encore's Beach Club
The hottest parties in Las Vegas aren’t at the nightclubs. They’re now by the pools. Anyone deprived of spring break shenanigans in college can make up for lost time at any of Vegas’ latest indulgence – the ultra pool. Many resorts have recently added opulent swimming areas each with a distinct personality catering to an adult crowd. Here is a round up of the latest splashiest scene.
Encore Beach Club
At 60,000 square feet, Steve Wynn’s new Encore Beach Club is larger than the combined square footage of XS Nightclub (40,000), Tryst (10,000) and Blush (4,000) at the Wynn properties. The venue features three tiered pools, daybeds and 26 cabanas with refrigerators and flat screen TVs. Eight luxurious bungalows include balconies overlooking the Las Vegas strip, each with a private bathroom, shower and Jacuzzi.
Guests can also play blackjack at air-conditioned poolside open-air tables. Encore Beach Club is the first pool venue to offer sunbathers air conditioning outside.
