| - I went to Vegas last weekend for my buddy's bachelor party and we visited Rehab on Sunday. We had visited Ditch Friday on Friday and Encore on Saturday, so by then I had two other pool parties under my belt to compare to. Here is how Rehab stacked up.
We arrived around noon and got in line for a cabana. We had to wait around a half hour to get one and were told it was going to be near the pool if we spent a $1500 minimum. We ended up getting placed far away from the main pool, but close to a secondary small pool with a slide and access to the gambling area.
The cabana is much smaller than the ones at Encore. There is a small HDTV, a small fridge, and a small safe along with a cornered couch and a couple little seats with a table. The food is reasonably priced (like Encore) and pretty good. We got a fruit tray, a slider platter with onion rings (really good), and a cobb salad (probably the best cobb I have ever had amazingly enough).
The bottles were $450 each, so definitely a bargain compared to Encore. The service was not as good as Encore, though. We had to ask for refills of mixers at times when at Encore there would be someone checking every 10 minutes or so (the carafes were also smaller).
As for the "scenery" at Rehab, it was nothing like Encore. There seems to be no quality control at Rehab, whereas there must be some Encore (whether we know it or not). There are multiple pools at the facility with one main pool and a couple smaller pools and a "lazy river" type connector. I, personally, had more fun here than Encore but see the tradeoffs between the two.
Summary: Stack it up against Encore:
Encore
Better service
Better "scenery"
Better cabana amenities
Rehab
More people
More pools
Better prices
Both are definitely fun, but depending on what you want to spend and what the most important factors are to you, consider choosing one over the other.
