Encore Beach Club (also known as EBC) is, without a doubt, one of the BEST POOL PARTIES in Las Vegas. The beach club has top-level DJs (like The Chainsmokers), beautiful bungalows and cabanas, the most extravagant bottle service presentations, and a fantastic crowd.
And today, I’m going to share with you everything there is to know about this Vegas pool party to turn you into an Encore Beach Club expert.

Encore Beach Club: Overview
There’s just something about the Wynn properties, isn’t there? They’re clean, beautiful, and the epitome of high-end without being too stuffy. And Encore Beach Club, well, it’s no exception. It’s day club perfection.
With the club’s bright red and white color scheme and striped awnings, EBC puts you in a good mood the moment you step inside the club. It might sound unbelievable when I say you’ll have one of the best days of your life here. But it’s true. EBC is just that good.
Property Info
Encore Beach Club spans 60,000 square feet and features three pools separated by winding walkways. One of the day club’s most unique features is its covered gaming area. (In fact, it’s the only daytime pool party in Las Vegas where you can gamble.)
Everyone is welcome in the gaming pavilion too, so if you want to escape the heat, this is the place to come. And don’t forget to grab your drinks while you’re there. The large bar tucked in the back is decently fast.
EBC also comes equipped with a generously sized LED screen that rests above the DJ booth, so every guest has a fantastic view. And, there’s even a dance floor between the DJ and the main pool. When the headlining DJ comes on, this is where you’ll find the most action.

Location
Encore Beach Club is at the Encore hotel. The address is 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
Enter the hotel from Encore’s Main Valet, and make a right at Encore’s front desk. Then follow the overhead signs to the beach club.
If you know where the poker room is (or the new restaurant Casa Playa), head in that direction. Additionally, there’s an entrance to the beach club from the parking garage.
Dress Code
EBC’s dress code is simple – wear swim attire. Cover-ups are allowed, but you must have a swimsuit on underneath. Also, almost any shoes go, although you’ll want to avoid wearing Jordans or Nikes.
There are some prohibited items that you’ll want to keep in mind too. For example, please don’t wear basketball shorts, jerseys, jeans, pants, undergarments, torn or cut-off clothes, see-through swimsuits, offensive prints, chains, baggy clothing, athletic gear, or attire with rivets, hooks, and studs.
Additionally, you’ll want to avoid anything with a sports team’s logo.
Tickets
It’s best to purchase tickets for Encore Beach Club on their official site. And it’s a good idea to buy your tickets online in advance as prices are usually much higher at the door.
Who Should Buy Tickets
Tickets are the right option for you if you’re a group of guys (without a table reservation) or if you’re not on the guest list.
There are two ticket options: general admission and expedited entry. Of the two, general admission is the more budget-friendly option.
With a general admission ticket, you’ll need to wait in line to get into the club. Wait times vary depending on the day, but you should expect to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour (unless you’re arriving near the club’s opening time). Encore Beach Club is, after all, one of the best beach clubs in Las Vegas, and the crowds are BIG.
Alternatively, an expedited entry ticket gets you into the club faster. So if you don’t want to wait in the general admission line, this is the option for you.
Now we frequently get asked if expedited entry is worth it. And the short answer is – it depends.
For instance, if you’re arriving around 1:00 pm, then the line will be longer than if you arrive at 10:30 am. Or if you come on a Friday, then the crowd won’t be as big as Saturdays. Further still, wait times are considerably shorter in the spring as compared to the summer months.
Ticket Prices
Here are the current ticket prices at EBC in Las Vegas. Prices vary depending on the day of the week and DJ.
- Ladies: $20 – $50 general admission tickets
- Guys: $30 – $75 general admission tickets
- Expedited Entry: $65 – $125
Guest List
On most days, if you’re on EBC’s guest list, you’ll get free entry into the club (or pay a reduced admission). To get on Encore Beach Club’s guest list, you’ll want to reach out to a promoter. The list closes before the club’s opening, so it’s a good idea to reach out at least a day in advance.
The current guest list cut-off times are listed below. Please note that you need to be at the front of the line (not just in line) by these times. Also, times and availability are subject to change.
- Ladies free before 1:00 pm
- Guys in even ratio parties free before noon (even ratio means having at least the same number of women in your party as men).
Table Reservations
The beach club offers a variety of bottle service options to suit every budget.
And, the good news is that no matter where you sit, we’re confident you’ll like your table location. For instance, the club is designed with tables surrounding EBC’s pools, so everyone feels like they’re part of the action.
Table service options include beach couches, daybeds, lily pads, gaming tables, L-couches, water couches, DJ tables, cabanas, and bungalows. We’ll cover each in more detail coming up.
What You Get With A Bottle Service Reservation
All Encore Beach Club bottle service reservations include the following benefits.
- Free VIP expedited entry
- Dedicated table with seating for the entire day
- Storage and safes at most tables
- Unlimited mixers (juices and tonic water)
- Food and beverage service
- Cocktail server
- Busser
- Security staff
Additionally, with a cabana or bungalow reservation, you’ll enjoy a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, safe, fan, misting system, and a private daybed too. There are also shared private pools with a lower-level bungalow reservation.
Table Map
Below is the table map for Encore Beach Club. Please refer to the key for the locations of the different bottle service options.
Also, the venue has recently added a new pricing structure for its L-couches and lily pads. For example, you can now select between a center or standard location. The center locations are offered at a premium price as they’re in the middle of the club.
Table Service Options
To assist in your day club preparations, we’ve included a brief description of all the bottle service options as well as the number of guests allowed at walk-in. We’ve also added photos so you can easily select the best table option for your group.
An excellent way to understand how Encore Beach Club’s tables are laid out is to divide the club in half. There are two sides to the club – north and south.
When you split the pool party down the middle, the sides are pretty close to a mirror image of each other. For example, daybeds on the north side are in the same location as they are on the south side. As to which section is better, they’re both fantastic. I wouldn’t have any hesitation about getting a table in either area.
The prices shown below are April 2024 averages based on Fridays. Table minimums are usually much higher on Saturdays.
Beach Couch
- Cost: $1,000+
- Guests: 6
- Location: Main level
- Description: EBC’s beach couches are aptly named. They’re actual couches that come with stools for extra seating or a place to put your drinks. You’ll find most of the beach couches near the club’s grill and dance floor.
Gaming Section
- Cost: $1,000+
- Guests: 6
- Location: Main level
- Description: The gaming tables are near the gaming area in front of the card tables. (They’re perfect if you want to have shade all day.) They’re also in the middle of the club, so you’ll be just a few steps away from the pool and have a direct eye line to the DJ.
Lily Pad
- Cost: $1,000+
- Guests: 6-8
- Location: Main level (in the pool)
- Description: Lily pads are a favorite among guests. These tables are in the shallow section of the pools. They’re an excellent choice for hot days because you can dip your feet in the pool (or jump in) and dance while enjoying your drinks.
Daybed
- Cost: $1,500+
- Guests: 8
- Location: Main level
- Description: EBC’s daybeds are comfortable and spacious. They’re an attractive option because you can sit or lay down easily (or dance on top of them). Daybeds also offer prime seating – right along the edges of the Encore Beach Club pools.
L Couch
- Cost: $1,500+
- Guests: 8
- Location: Main level
- Description: EBC’s L couches are close to the club’s pools. The center L couches are in the center of the venue, so you’ll have an excellent location with a reservation here. The regular L couches are further back and to the sides, but they’re still a terrific spot. And, of course, they all come with umbrellas too.
Cabana
- Cost: $2,000+ (upper) & $2,500+ (lower)
- Guests: 10 – 12 guests
- Location: Upper and main levels
- Description: Cabanas are one of the most sought-after bottle service locations. With a reservation here, you’ll get two tables for the price of one. And that’s all thanks to the complimentary daybed located in front of your cabana. You’ll also have a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, safe, and a misting system to help keep your group cool.
Water Couch
- Cost: $2,500+
- Guests: 10
- Location: Main level (in the pool)
- Description: Water couches are couches that are in the shallow part of the club’s pool. Like the lily pads, they’re a crowd favorite because you can easily wade in the water. They’re also superbly located in the venue as they’re centrally located in front of the gaming tables. If you want to be in the middle of the action, these are for you!
Dance Floor Section
- Cost: $2,500+
- Guests: 10
- Location: Main level
- Description: The dance floor tables are couches located in the heart of the pool party, next to the DJ booth. These are typically some of the highest-priced tables in the club because they have a phenomenal view.
Bungalows
- Cost: $4,000+ (upper) & $7,000+ (lower)
- Guests: 12-15
- Location: Upper and main
- Description: Perfect for larger groups, EBC’s bungalows are the ultimate party option. The lower-level bungalows feature private pools, while the upper bungalows have private restrooms. Similar to cabanas, you’ll also get a refrigerator, safe, flat-screen TV, and a daybed for lounging in front of your bungalow. Additionally, bungalows offer a fantastic view of the DJ.
Best Table Locations
One of the most asked questions we get is: what are the best table locations at Encore Beach? Now, if budget is not a factor, you may want to consider a cabana or bungalow. Both of these options offer a plethora of amenities.
Cabana vs. Bungalow
One of the coolest features of cabanas and bungalows is that they have doors opening to The Strip. So you can take in the view while you party at the same time. They also both offer daybeds to lounge in that are located out front. Having an additional seating area is a nice benefit if you’re partying with a large group or want to invite other guests to join you.
Where the Encore cabanas and bungalows differ, though, is in their square footage. Bungalows are bigger than cabanas, so if space is of the utmost importance, you’ll want to book a bungalow.
Additionally, the lower-level bungalows are the only table option in the venue with a private pool. And you won’t find your very own VIP restroom inside a cabana – like you will with an upper bungalow.
Best Value Tables
Encore Beach Club is one of the most expensive beach clubs in Las Vegas. On average, their table service options start at least $250 – $500 higher than most other clubs. And the same goes for their bottle menu too.
So, if you’re looking for the lowest-priced table option here, then you’ll want to take a look at the beach couches. These typically start at a $1,000 minimum spend on Fridays. Prices are generally higher on Saturdays and Sundays.
Patio Tables
You may see an additional table option available on the most in-demand days. These are the club’s patio tables, and they’re on the outside terrace of the old Andrea’s Restaurant (now Casa Playa).
They’re further back from the party, but they’re great if you want shade for most of the day. And when these are available for reservations, they’re usually the cheapest option.
Best Combination Of Location And Price
Now, if you want the best combination of location and price, we’re big fans of the lily pads. In our opinion, there’s nothing better than wading and sipping on some bubbly.
The lily pads come with umbrellas as well, so you’ll have no problem escaping the Vegas heat between the pool and the shade the umbrella provides. There’s one essential thing to know about the lily pads, though. And that is – you can’t eat at your table.
How To Calculate The All-In Bottle Service Cost
Once you’ve decided on a table for your day of partying, you need to know the final amount you’ll pay. The industry standard for quoting table service is to state the price in terms of a minimum spend requirement.
For example, let’s say you’re interested in making a daybed reservation, and you’re quoted $1,000. This means that you’ll need to spend at least $1,000 at the club.
But, $1,000 isn’t the total cost you’ll pay. There are three other fees that all Las Vegas day and nightclubs charge. These include a venue fee (may also be called a service or admin fee), tax, and a gratuity. In total, a close estimate of these fees is 38% of the bottle service minimum spend (or total spend, if higher).
So, in our example above, you’ll want to add 38% to the $1,000 minimum to calculate the final price. Keep in mind that if you go over your minimum, you’ll be responsible for the overage as well. Alternatively, if you don’t spend at least $1,000, then you’ll be charged $1,000 anyway, so it’s best to get to celebrating!
Here’s how the calculation works.
Bottle Service Minimum: $1,000
Plus: 38% (venue fee, tax, and tip): $380
Total Approximate Price: $1,380
Bottle Menu
When it comes to bottles, your money won’t go as far at EBC compared to other day clubs in Las Vegas. For example, EBC’s vodka options are up to $200 more for the same brand at other venues.
Although offerings on the menu typically stay the same, prices are subject to change.
Presentations
EBC has some of the most elaborate bottle presentations. I might even go so far as to call them mind-blowing. You’ll be hard-pressed to find other clubs in Vegas taking their presentations this far.
For those of you who’ve never seen one, a bottle presentation is when a big display is made over a bottle order. If you spend a certain amount on a bottle or if your minimum exceeds a set amount, Encore Beach Club rewards you by drawing all eyes in the club to you. There’s also a special bottle presentation menu.
Some examples of presentations include the club delivering your bottle via a Ferris wheel, helicopter, fire truck, or Harley Davidson motorcycle. (Yes, you get to keep the bike.) There are even presentations that include meeting the DJ. Of course, they don’t come with a low price tag. Get ready to spend some serious cash for one of these.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a bottle presentation that’s a little less over the top, EBC offers those too. For example, you’ll find more traditional bottle presentations with sparklers and signs that are perfect for birthday and bachelor (or bachelorette) celebrations.
What’s Cool About The Pool
Celebrities Go To EBC
Celebrity sightings at Encore Beach Club are almost a weekly occurrence during the summer. And some are even regulars. For instance, if you like fighting, you’ll be thrilled to know that Connor McGregor comes to Encore Beach Club frequently.
Shower Rain Pavilion
There are three dance pavilions at the beach club. These pavilions are located on both sides of the club as well as in the middle of the main pool. And if there’s any confusion as to what a dance pavilion is, let me clarify. They’re poles on platforms that you get to dance on!
Best Talent
In our opinion, the only other day clubs that rival Encore Beach Club regarding EDM talent is Wet Republic Las Vegas and Ayu Dayclub. But, overall, we still think that Encore wins this race. Just look at the incredible talent!
- The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Dillon Francis, Diplo, Kygo, and more
Encore Beach Club At Night
I love a nighttime pool party, and (lucky for me), so does Wynn. So much that there are two night swims at the Encore hotel: XS Las Vegas and Encore Beach Club Night Swim. You’ll find lower prices during the nighttime pool parties too, and you’ll still get to party with the top DJs. Even better, there’s no chance of a sunburn.
Other FAQs
Does Encore Beach Have Lockers?
Yes, they’re available to rent for around $40 – $75. Pricing may vary depending on the day, though. Lockers are first come, first served, so you’ll want to get to the club early before they sell out. You can find the lockers at the main entrance to the club (after you go through security).
What’s The Bag Policy At The Beach Club?
Some bags are allowed inside the venue. For example, drawstring bags, purses, small backpacks, and fanny packs are all permitted.
You’ll want to avoid duffle bags or suitcases. If your bag happens to be considered “oversized” by the club, a bag check is available. On most days, the cost is between $20 – $40. Please note that all bags will be subject to a security search at entry.
Is Sunscreen Allowed At EBC Las Vegas?
You can’t bring liquid sunscreens, but sealed aerosol cans are allowed at Encore Beach Club.
Are There Discounts For Guests Staying At Wynn Or Encore?
The Wynn concierge offers “preferred entry” for guests of either hotel. For additional information, you can contact the concierge directly by sending an email to conciergeservices@wynnlasvegas.com.
Conclusion
Encore Beach Club is the pool party for you if you’re looking to see the best EDM talent around. And if you want to party at the prettiest day club in Vegas! (The club is gorgeous and makes you feel happy the instant you walk in.)
The venue gets packed fast, though. So make sure you head there early. Otherwise, you’ll be spending quite a while in line.
Table service is also expensive. Booking in advance, though, will get you the best pricing as rates tend to increase the closer it gets to the event date.
Lastly, we love the fact that as the day goes on, shade takes over the venue. So you won’t be in the sun the entire time!
