| - This is my favorite pool party in Vegas. For a point of reference, I've been to Rehab, Marquee Day Club, and Liquid (at Aria). But I don't really need to go to all the pool parties in Vegas to know that this one is one of the best -- I come here almost every time I come to Vegas in the summer - it's been consistently good for years and I never have a bad time. I don't know if classy and Vegas pool party ever go together in the same sentence, but I think this is the classiest of the pool parties, if a thing ever existed.
The lines can get super long and crazy, especially if there is a good DJ playing. If you know are going to come here, stay at the Encore and buy tickets ahead of time so that you can skip the line. Cover will be around $40-80 depending if you're a girl or a guy and who is playing (bought via the Encore concierge) Get there early, around 11:30 am or 12 pm to avoid the craziness and crowds - sometimes if it gets too crowded, they will stop letting people in.
To me, this is way more fun than the clubs at night - no heels that you have to wear for hours, sunshine, good music, and hanging out in the pool in 100 degree weather (usually). There's no hiding what anyone looks like here, in broad daylight and bathing suits, you better hope you've been working out.
I recommend not bringing anything to check in (no phone, no purse) because the bag check is $25. It's certainly better to pay that than to stash your phone somewhere and get it stolen, but $25 bag check fee is pretty ridiculously high.
Drinks are expensive, around $10 for a beer and $16-18 for a mixed drink, but pretty normal for Vegas. They also serve food if you get hungry which is pretty awesome - they have chicken fingers, some salads, sandwiches. There's probably 10 things on the menu. Food is decent and will run you $15-20 per thing.
The party usually gets pretty busy around 1 pm and the main DJ plays around 2:30-3 pm. The party usually starts to wind down around 5 pm. There's a stage with a pole with "rain" that is in the middle of the pole. It ends up attracting either girls that look like ex-strippers who will sometimes get dollar bills in their bathing suits, girls who shouldn't be up there to begin with, girls that are too drunk, and/or girls grinding on one another. Whatever is up there is pretty entertaining and it's one of these things where the girls think they look sexy, but in reality it's more like a trainwreck where you can't look away.
All in all, it's a super fun time and one of the bigger pool parties with a better looking crowd of people that most the other pool parties and good DJs. Fork over the money and deal with the lines and crowds - it's worth it.
