Of course, a cup of coffee will cost you an arm and a leg, but I suppose that's to be expected. Seriously, though, don't come thinking you'll just buy a sunscreen at the sundries store. The cheapest bottle starts at $34. \n\nWhile I like the pools at Encore, I wasn't blown away. There's a main pool that's small-ish and kid-friendly, and there's the adults-only European (read: optional topless) pool that's larger with a swim-up bar. It's fine, but I've been to better pools in Vegas - namely, the pool at Palazzo, which I think is leaps and bounds bigger/better/nicer. Encore's Euro pool has a ton of tree coverage, for obvious reasons, but the trees get in the way of my tanning dreams.\n\nBeyond the pool issue, the restaurants are great, the dealers are friendly and the views from the upgraded suites are magnificent.\n\nThis is the place to stay in Vegas."^^ .
