EBC is a well known day club. Nowadays it's in competition with Wet Republic and Marquee Day Club for the top day clubs on the strip, at least in my (younger) age range. Compared to all of the other pools at most of the other average hotels, EBC is really nice.
Don't worry about having to walk through the casino because the day club entrance is right outside of the parking structure. Get on a guestlist and arrive at the suggested time frame that your promoter tells you to and you'll get in free. Girls get 2 free drink cards but those drink tickets are only for mimosas. Use your drink cards right when you get in because there's a time frame on those drink cards too.
There's ground level and 2nd floor cabanas. Half naked people everywhere. It's some ratchetness but it's fun. There were even gaming tables by one of the bars. Skrillex was playing when I was here.
Drinks are ridiculously expensive. My friend ordered 2 vodka sodas and a margarita and wasn't sure how much the bartender said the tab was. "Did she say 57 or 27?" She asked the bartender again. Apparently it came out to $57. $19 for a margarita is somewhat understandable. But for vodka sodas? Yeeeah right. So pregame hard.
