History

Encore Beach Club opened in May 2010. The indoor portion of Encore Beach Club was known as Surrender until 2018, and it spanned an adjacent 5,000 sq ft (460 m2) nightclub. Both were managed by Sean Christie's Las Vegas Nightlife Group, which also operated the Blush nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas. XS and Surrender later became some of the top-grossing nightclubs in the United States.

In 2010, rapper Lil Jon signed a DJ residency at Surrender. Swedish DJ Alesso has also performed there and at Encore Beach Club. The Chainsmokers and Kygo each began ongoing residencies at XS in 2017. Other entertainers at the clubs have included Swedish House Mafia, country artist Dustin Lynch, and DJs Marshmello, Diplo, and RL Grime. In 2018, the position of artist relations was taken over by David Hadden. By that time, Encore Beach Club had taken over the Surrender space.

Layout

Encore Beach Club is a 55,000 sq ft (5,100 m2) outdoor pool complex featuring 26 cabanas, eight two-story, 350-square-foot bungalows, and poolside blackjack and craps. A review from Condé Nast Traveler described EBC as designed with a Southern French architectural style.

The pool also sells various options for bottle and food service, which include daybeds, lounges, private cabanas and tables. Minimum spends, though, for the biggest names can surpass $18,000 USD.

Reception

According to Condé Nast Traveler, Encore Beach Club received positive reception during its review, though the magazine warned patrons would experience an "inevitable hangover".

Incidents and violations

In 2018, a man was kicked out of Encore Beach Club allegedly for his swim briefs and a potential act of homophobia. The man, who is gay, expressed on social media that he believes the club removed him for "being a gay man wearing a bathing suit that was just a little too gay". According to the man, security at Encore Beach Club told him "I don’t give a shit what you wear, but we had a complaint". Encore Beach Club, which originally had a policy prohibiting swim briefs, adjusted it to allow them, though still prohibiting "indecent" swim wear.

During 2025's annual pool inspections conducted by the Southern Nevada Health District, Encore Beach Club recorded four minor violations during its annual inspection on May 30. The District recorded two underwater lights out, rust on the wet deck, loose handrails, and chips in the deck, though an engineer tightened both deck and water bolts for the loose handrails during the inspection. None of the recorded violations if left unresolved would have resulted in closures or fees.
