Drinks, food and a place to lounge. It really is not a casino bar as it does not have Vdara does not have a casino. It's a lobby bar but it is so good that you should check it out even if you can't play video poker while you drink.

Grab a drink and watch a game or take in the view of the Encore Pool. The Eastside lounge is a comfortable place to start or end your evening in Las Vegas. Plenty of casino bars seem too loud and lack the qualities of a place you would want to spend any considerable time at, the Eastside lounge is comfortable and has a touch of class that lends itself to a second drink. Walk around Encore Las Vegas and you'll quickly notice that casino bars surround the casino floor.

Grab a seat outside either during the day or in the early evening and soak in the atmosphere. You feel elegant, almost as if you have just showered and someone gave you a sea salt scrub and then tickled your toes with the softest towel on earth. Am I describing a bar? Yeah, I know, but a few drinks in the afternoon sun does that to you. Parasol Down is so comfortable you feel like you should have one too many. If you want a true casino bar then go upstairs to Parasol Up and you'll find that bar in the heart of the casino.
