Came here with high expectations after going to Drai's the day before and having a blast. To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed. I felt like the energy just wasn't as high at Encore and it was more like fancy hotel pool instead of a pool party. A lot of the girls here are super fake (a few friends and I actually made a game of pointing out all the fake boobs), but some people are into that so to each their own. I wish there were more dancing areas with ankle deep water so you didn't either bake or turn all pruney. Drinks are expensive as usual - going rate is about $19.
Pros:
-Good music.
-Good looking guys and gals.
-Poolside couches/cabanas are well placed (though absurdly priced.)
-Large pool space.
-Decently priced lockers.
Cons:
-No shade (you will buuuuurn) in the pool.
-There is NO splashing. Security is 100% on top of that.
-ABSOLUTELY NO dudes on that middle dance area with the stripper poles. You will be bounced in under 15 seconds guaranteed. And leads me to another point.
-Security are Nazis here.
-Water costs $11 (so ask for a glass of ice instead).
-Sunscreen costs $30
-Pool water gets really gross really fast. The water was murky when we left after 2 hours. Also there was an assortment of floating straws, cups, and bottles. Ew.
