I was staying at the Encore, and ended up waiting in the Reservations/Guest list line for 1 hour.    Watched while general admission got in just fine.   Finally gave up, and went into general admission after realizing only the bottle guests, and people who were bribing the bouncers  were getting in.    Luckily, the people overseeing that line took mercy(after noting we'd been waiting for as long as we had been).   \n\nThe club was great once I got in, but the night was shadowed by the events preceding.   Needless to say, the club itself is quite impressive.   The atmosphere is highly upbeat, and there are tons of crazy and outgoing people, which adds to the excitement!\n\nRecommend the management seriously look into creating a separate line for hotel guests......Encore is a gorgeous hotel, but  when I stayed at the venetian, I got into Tao after only 5 minutes, and was treated much more cordially.
