Encore Beach Club

I want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt so I hate broadcasting negative feedback on a specific person. Pm me if you want details as to who. Communication started a month in advance. All went bad a week and a half before date.

One person. All email. Next time I will call or text. Was reading on a separate thread that people advise against email. But then again even though it was email I was told one thing and then it changed multiple times. And a reservation should be a reservation right?

Who'd you deal with? How far in advance did you book?
The unfortunate thing is a reservation is not always a reservation especially if you book early. Booking anything more than 2 weeks out gets risky because pricing usually isn't set yet/confirmed until 1-2 weeks prior. Anything done before that is really more of a guestimate. Sucks yes.

Sometimes Email is your only option though, especially if you do not live in/around Vegas. Calling from England costs way too much so i relied heavily on emailing during my last visit, what happened to you sounds unbelievably harsh though.

I was trying to figure all this out on a separate thread. Wanted to be sure I had a place to lounge that also had food and bev. Lilly pads are in the water and bev only. Couches and tables no easy sun lounging and some are in the gaming area = no sun. Cabanas too pricey for 4 people. So settled on daybed for $1200 food and bev. Thought I had it all booked up for kaskade this Sunday but then apparently I was bumped. Was told I could instead do gaming table for 1500 min. No good since no lounging and no sun. So then I was told I could get a daybed for Saturday for a much lower f&b min. Then I was told $3000 min. Don't understand how that is lower. I understand ebc is hot now and things change fast but I don't want to be somewhere that treats customers like that. It won't be hot forever. Things change fast in Vegas.

I realize this is Las Vegas and money talks, but that's just plain shady.

Were you dealing with different people when you called for each different option?

When possible, I stick to one person and I tell them first and foremost how many people and my budget.

How are the 'Recess Fridays' at EBC?

Also, despite the EBC site having some great pics and stuff it is actually lacking quite in bit in terms of actual options... e.g. what exactly are all the levels of things which can be reserved for the day (any half day options?), in terms of tables, chairs, daybeds, cabanas (villas? lily pads?)

Also how are the gaming and food options? I have done the regular Encore poolside gaming, eaten on Botero patio, etc, but looking for a new experience this time around... wife is more of a lay out at the pool person while I am more of a drink and gamble near the pool person

thanks for any input! this would be for Fri 5/13 if it matters...

Anyone have the EBC pricing?

I think it always depends on the circumstances - # of people / # of guys / day of the week / special event. Hit up Mikey T.

For a Saturday, Cabanas start at a 2000 F&B minimum (probably 2k for the upper level, at least 1k more for ground floor)

daybeds can start at 1k F&B, lilypads 500-1000 DRINK ONLY minimum.

[dazmac13]

what are the VIP alternatives at EBC from least good to best? lounger, daybed etc?

going for the first time with 3 mates and unsure what to book. dont want to spend stupid money (i.e. cabana) but something that's nice, by the pool etc

[tombrokaw]

I showed up at 10:30 - 11 each time. Both times i had a lily pad or couch or something reserved though.

But the lines were maybe only 60 deep. Much less than say, rehab.

[BigDex14]

Yeah, I'm just wondering for the sake of the line and waiting and when to show up.. you know? Just kinda want to know what to expect. Though I imagine during the Summer on a weekend in July everyday that they are open has the potential to be "packed"

[tombrokaw]

I've only been there friday (more chill) and sunday (packed!).

But keep in mind kaskade was there that sunday. But I believe sunday is their busiest day. Probably Mike T will verify this.

[BigDex14]

Oh ok, thanks for the note! Is Sunday typically the most packed? or is that Saturday's role?

[tombrokaw]

Fridays are more chill than sundays, but definitely still a good time.

The most important thing to understand is that the space is very large, so it requires a much larger group to look "filled."
