| - I went to Surrender on my last night in Vegas...a Wednesday. I was bit hesitant that I wasn't going to find something to do in the middle of the week, but my best friend (who is a local) found out from one of he former co-workers that this place is bumpin' and it was.
We got to Encore and there was a bit of a line outside of the club. People were dressed to the nines like they were going out on a weekend (we definitely weren't in DC anymore, Toto!). The good thing was the line moved pretty quickly, about 15-20 minutes. Trust me, that is short since I have seen lines circle the hotel casino at other club nights that take at least an hour wait!
Anyway, we get to the door and locals are free, but out-of-towners have to pay a $30 cover. Ouch, but we are in Vegas so we give the man our money.
We enter the club into a crowded bar/dance floor area. The dance floor is small and surrounded by tables for table service, thus limiting the area for dancing. wah wah. But was still nice and the gogo girls that were dancing their a$$es off and were gorgeous!
The piece de resistance is the outdoor area. It is the pool where they have their day party, turned nighttime area. A platform is put over part of the pool and there are many tables surrounding the pool area. It is gorgeous! The bathrooms were easlily accessible and clean and had an attendent, of course. There were even some tables that had their own private pools! And if you didn't feel like you were spending enough money already there were some table games to play on for those high rollers.
The perfect lighting, the water, the night sky, and of course the people watching made for a great scene. It also looks like they get some top notch DJs that spin there. I can't recall the name of the DJ spinning that evening, but he was still good! Now that's what I want in a Vegas club!
I am taking just 1/2 a star off for the small dance floor and another 1/2 star for pricey drinks and cover, but then again, it IS Vegas...
