Encore Beach Club: 28 Days To Pool Season Finale

Pool Season 2019 has officially started, and I spent the first-day basking in the sun at Encore Beach Club. I got myself bikini ready by following my 28 Days to Pool Season Workout Program that you can follow too! Here is a bit of a rundown on Encore Beach Club and how I feel about it.

Encore is a BEAUTIFUL property by itself. I love to have my friends stay here as they will NEVER be disappointed with the staff, their service, or their stay. I have not heard a single complaint ever from them on anything here. Encore Beach Club is no different. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. Security is tight to get through, they do a full bag search and metal detector scan and have a long list of items that are not allowed in...like selfie sticks...I had to toss mine out... and even though I had to throw something away I still thought the staff handled me with kindness and that is a HUGE DEAL to me.

The lines will be long, but they are easy to figure out and the staff is more than happy to help you figure out where you are supposed to be. The lines are usually set up like Guest List - General Admission/Ticket Holders - Cabana/Daybed rentals. I always recommend you buy tickets or get a table with your friends. Depending on how busy the day is, the guest list line could wrap around the stairs and by the time you get to the front of the line, you may have to pay anyways. For women, tickets are typically around $25 and around $35 for men, but a guest list is still a good option regardless. You will have to either be an all-girl group or have an equal ratio of girls and guys to get in on a list. Make sure to follow all instructions from your VIP host regarding guest list entry. My best advice is to show up early and bring a bottle of water or cocktail in a disposable cup to tide you over while you wait.

Attire is Pool Club standard. Wear your Bikini/Swim trunks under your sundress or shorts. No offensive sayings or slogans. And nothing that is obviously torn up. Sandals, sneakers, and heels all seem to be just fine for the day. I usually like to keep it casual and wear a comfy dress that's quick to put on and take off that I can still walk through the casinos with and some wedges. This day I stuck to these unique ankle boots and a pink dress I got from Ross for like $7! Lockers are available to rent, and they have a coat check where you can check items that you didn't know you couldn't bring (Like selfie sticks) and your coat. I HIGHLY recommend a travel size sunscreen, lotion and sunshades. There are showers near the back bathrooms if you have any problems with chlorine or...you just like to be extra clean.

Music choice here is typically house/some form of EDM or a good top 40 mix from world-class DJs. Wynn Nightlife doesn't skimp when it comes to entertainment. Every DJ in their line up is a chart-topping entertainer. From Kygo to the Chainsmokers and Diplo. It's ALWAYS going to be a great day here. The bar is usual Vegas Entertainment prices $8 shots, $15 mixed drinks, $11 beers and hundreds for bottles with a Food and Beverage minimum for the tables, cabanas and day beds. Tip your service staff, please.

For me, Encore Beach Club is a MUST and had to be the first place I started Pool Season 2019. Final words of advice are, buy your tickets or table in advance bring your sunscreen and shades and HYDRATE! We are all adults and know what alcohol does to us, but drinking and being active out in the desert sun makes it something new. It is VITAL you get some water in between your rounds. Take care of your self and have fun! We see you, don't catch a Vegas L.

I'M BACK!! 2021 - VEGAS - TWITCH - AND BEYOND

Hello everyone and WELCOME BACK to the Nikki On Vegas Blog! I am SO happy to be back and have so much to update you on! I have been away for a LONG WHILE and wanted to come back with an update on all things NikkiOnVegas. Last time I was here we were talking about my Disney+, Netflix, and Hulu favorites, What's going on in Vegas, and how the death of George Floyd and resulting Black Lives Matter protests, national response and more was affecting me personally. So let's dig right back in on all that plus what I've been up to since the last time we spoke... VEGAS: We've definitely been on a wild ride. As a city built on tourism, we had a HARD time with the shutdown and now trying to re-build...but good news Vegas lovers - All signs point to a rapidly returning Vegas! It's definitely different now, as we've got to do our part to keep everyone safe but it is still VERY Vegas. Social Distancing and masks are very much enforced and minimized capacity has been strict...

Now Streaming: 'Legacies' on Netflix Seasons 1 and 2

I love a good supernatural drama series. I was all in on the 'Vampire Diaries' for a while, and when the 'Originals' came in with what felt like a more "grown-up" storyline from the beginning, I was instantly HOOKED! It had everything I needed in a supernatural drama, but when that ended I was left in a show hole. How do you even follow up on that epic storyline, but thank the bright minds at CW they made it happen with 'Legacies'. With 'Legacies', we are tuning in to the life of Hope Mikaelson after the loss of her parents at The Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted ran by Alaric Saltzman who is firmly seated in our hearts from 'Vampire Diaries'. Alaric is the headmaster of the Salvatore School and is looking after his twin daughters who are the last living members of the Gemini Coven. This is exactly the drama series I needed to check into during this quarantine. The Salvatore School is home to the witch, werewolf and vampire ...

The Women Of Las Vegas: With Love Reiki from Sheila

Meet Sheila Sclafani-Cook As a Usui/Holy Fire® III, Karuna Reiki®Master, and a Seraphim Blueprint practitioner, Sheila Sclafani-Cook is a local treasure. Her path through Spirituality has connected her with Spirit and she is guided to support others on the healing path through meditations, classes, Reiki sessions or bringing others to the way of Reiki by teaching Reiki to them.

Restaurants, bars, and lounges all have similar rules, masks will be needed while waiting in line to be seated/served but you do not have to wear a mask while eating and drinking. Social ...

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Someone asked me how I was doing, and that was the first time I took a moment to reflect on how I was actually feeling outside of complete outrage. I'm tired. I'm in anguish. I'm completely depleted. I'm overwhelmed and grieving. In a revolving state of being overtaken by incredible sadness to unbeleivably angry. I'm not ok. I wish things were better. https://t.co/lYhiqi7cML — Nikki On Vegas (@NikkiOnVegas) June 5, 2020 It's unbelievable to me that Black lives are still being lost at the hands that are meant to protect and serve us, without cause, and in most cases without punishment deserving of the crime. Then those officers are protected and shielded from any punishment by the same institution that systematically oppresses Black people. The duty to Protect and Serve that should be upheld by all officers does not count when it comes to Black people. The unjust murders of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, and now Georg...

Las Vegas, where the world comes to play. The rich and famous blend into the background and everyone can become anyone they want. It's an exciting place, bound to give you some of the best memories of your life... but before you start planning your trip, check out this list of Top 7 Mistakes Las Vegas Tourists Make: Micromanagement: 8am spa package, 10:30 brunch, 11:15-3pm walk the strip, 3pm-4pm get ready for dinner, 4pm-6pm gamble, 6pm-7:30 dinner and cocktails…..you get my drift.

Moming In Vegas: Container Park

Kid Friendly Life In Vegas We had our FIRST EVER play date! One of the dopest things about Las Vegas is that there are SO many family-friendly activities. I didn't even know about most of them until I became a mom. Our first date was at the Container Park, a place I thought was only for 21+. Turns out, 21+ is only at night from 9PM to close! First things first, PARKING. It's downtown so you can get "free" parking at places like Main Street Station if you plan on spending some money at their casino and validate your parking. For me, I don't have a problem dropping some change in the machine right next to where I'm going. DON'T FORGET to leave the ticket in your window, and how long you paid for! They are QUICK AF to give tickets down here. Prices range from $1-$3 in the lots. Ky and I - Babywearing with our CuddleBug wrap I am just in love with this place. They have super comfy seating where there is a turf area for kids to play,...
