Ok so this time, I went to Encore and experienced without being completely obliterated. This was a much better experience.
We got in around 1:15 pm. I came in free with my boyfriend only being $55. We were told $75 by our promoter, so that was a nice surprise.
The place is big, but there were still huge crowds of people. We stole a seat on one of the planters and people watched.
We ordered drinks but they were majorly expensive. $25 for a redbull vodka, $10 for a bud light. But that's where ALL our money went this trip, to those drinks. Because we both, especially my boyfriend, proceeded to get sh**faced.
Then Deadmau5 came out - who we traveled all the way out to Vegas to see. He was awesome, and there was a crowd of people to watch him, but it didn't get out of control like it sometimes can at clubs. It was awesome but semi-mellow at the same time.
We made friends and got invited back to a cabana. That was cool, I loved how it was setup. There was a balcony to overlook the people walking outside the hotel. We had a great time and scored some free drinks from them too.
Overall I had a great experience at EBC this time. The pool water was even warm which was awesome for that semi-chilly day.
