Encore Beach Club was awesome blossom; a great way to start a wknd in Vegas with some good friends.  We were able to get in for free so that was fab.  The place is def gorgeous.  We went during the day to lounge around, drink and get some sun.  There were lily pad's, day beds, food, a bar, pretty much everything you would need to be able to stay and lounge around.  Our group had two lily pads and we ordered about 5 pitchers of drinks.  Drinks were pretty awesome and it was definitely refreshing since it was super hot in Vegas. There are dance poles at the center of the pole and there was some pretty interesting ppl who went up to dance.  Especially this chick in a rainbow bikini - my friends nicknamed her rainbow bright.  But she was freakin crazy. lol.  she was definitely on something, but she was dancing on the pole and around the pool for hours.  So that was pretty interesting.  But my friends and I had a pretty good buzz...just in time for clubbing at Marquee. ;)
