Super fun nighttime pool party! Lots of nice day beds if you have a hook up, you can score one for free. It's kind of essential because otherwise you're posted in the water. The area surrounding the pool is a bit crowded and wet. Stay near the bottles and you'll be fine. There are two bars and one of 'em is more crowded than the other.
Super fun!
I am not a nightclub type of gal. But, on the rare occasion I do go out, I like coming to Surrender. In my opinion it is the best club in the city. I guess in a city with so many clubs indoors, which can get so suffocating, it is refreshing that the majority of the club is outside. The inside is actually not that great, I find it kind of shady. But outside it's so nice, what with the pools and the music that is not too loud. Drinks are prohibitively expensive and not anything to get excited about, I usually order pineapple juice with gin.
As with all clubs in this city, the lines are super long. For sure get in contact with a promoter, otherwise you could be looking at an hour long wait to enter, at the very least.
NO RETREAT!
NO SURRENDER!
Ohhh wait yes surrender to me please, insert evil laugh; Â MUHAHAHAHA!
So yes I had some fun times here with a bunch of friends. I think that perhaps the biggest reason was that we prepartied like a bunch of drunks. We showed up at this place 5 sheets to the wind, not your typical 3! In other words, we were thankful for cab rides and cheap drinks.
We were scattered across several guess lists but were all able to cruise in together once we arrived. I was on the Crowd Control LV guess list and was in for free. Thanks Chhen!
Pro Tip: Do not plan on clubben in tennis shoes, hats, or douchey v-neck tee shirts.
When we showed up women were drinking for free and the guys had to pay $19-$23 per drink! That was ridiculous, but that is how LV clubs are unfortunately. They also had more tables than any club I have ever been to.
Pro Tip #2: You can rest/sit down on the edge of the planters throughout the club.
The main dance floor has a bar along one side as well as the entrance, a couple of stripper poles (only the staff gogogirls can use them though =), a number of tables and the DJ booth. The best part was that they had some water cooling misters or something like that to help it stay a tad bit cooler in the 100+ degree heat.
Pro Tip #3: Beginning around 1am a number of the tables started to clear so we were able to snag one for our group
The music was good, lots of fun dancing as well. A place I would go back to so long as I prepartied and was on the right guest list for free! Fun stuff in the long run. Perhaps I will see you there...
In A Nutshell:
*Surrender the Booty! (in my best pirate voice). Â You get lot's of it here.
*Come here with a promoter - you avoid standing in line, you get a discounted cabana and you get a heads up on what to wear.
*Please take note, that when you come here in the summer (100 degrees plus), you can wear a bathing suit and get in.
*I wore my neon green shorts and a white tank top, while strolling around in comfort (yes even at night) and just saw some miserable guys who were dressed up like you would if you were going out to a normal club (jeans, button up shirts, dress shoes).
Overall, I had the best time and there were just beautiful people everywhere. Â The pool was nice and warm and perfect to dunk yourself into. Â Too bad they don't play more hip hop b/c I can see this place become an orgefest.
My first impression - "Is this a strip club?" The first thing I saw when I walked in Surrender was a bunch of stripper poles and gogo dancers dancing with dollar bills in their panties. Was totally NOT expecting that!
I'm not sure what it is but this club was completely dead on a Saturday night. The promoters told me it would be crowded so they even convinced me to buy presale for my bf, even though when we showed up it was comped admission for both guys and girls and there was absolutely NO line at midnight.
After checking out Light, the atmosphere at Surrender was definitely different. They played more hip hop than anything. Also, the LED wall and sound system was unimpressive compared to Light. I did like that there was more room to dance and the outdoor area provided a nice escape when my feet started hurting. They even have blackjack tables in the outdoor area for those who want to continue gambling in the club. I also loved that they gave out the colored LED tube thingys. That kept everyone entertained on the dance floor since we thought of some creative things to do with them.
Came here on a Friday night on the guestlist with my girlfriends. We were told to check-in @10:30pm, but of course, we didn't all arrive together until about 11pm. Lines weren't outrageously long, and general admission line was constantly moving. Big plus for a Vegas nightclub. We finally got in the club at around 11:20pm and met up with some guy friends who purchased a table for the night.
They advertise free drinks for girls from 11:30pm-12:30am and that includes vodka and champagne as well as any well mixers. The lines for that, however, were insane and we had to push our way to other girl groups to get anything to get us going.
I loved the layout of this club. Indoor dancing and outdoor tables with a carnival-feel. The fleur-de-lis flower is stamped all along different fixtures. There are also gaming tables that people could gamble at. I did find two things that could be fixed in the layout. None of the pools are roped off; I can see this being a huge problem for sober, especially drunk people alike. There was also a raised level seperating the table area from the gaming area/bars with no indication. Again, possible dilemma right there, esp being in heels!
The music for the night was decent. Music was groovable. The go-go dancers that night were esquisite. Especially this one hottie who did all sorts of moves I can't go into on this review. Whew! I would come back to see her. All-in-all, it was an alright experience, but would probably only return if invited on comped admission.
Was at Surrender for MDW to see Calvin Harris, bought prepaid tickets which got us in fast, despite arriving at the scene at 11:30pm. After entering the club hassle-free, the excitement quickly dwindled.
The concept of having 80% of the club outdoor is nice, however the implementation was poor. Calvin Harris was playing at the indoor portion of the club, except no one was allowed on the dance floor except if you purchased a $3000 table. Why even let people in if you don't allow anyone on the dance floor? Waste of money on cover, and it wasn't like the cover was cheap either; $100 for guys and $40 for ladies. Go somewhere else to have a  good time.
I went to Surrender with a few friends Sunday - Memorial Weekend. Â We got a table outside with the pool right behind us. Â Great view of the DJ on screen and the staff was flawless. Â Our promoters, Kevin and Leo and hostess Kimmy, was amazing and all did an excellent job ensuring we were happy and comfortable. Â Yes, I know that's their job but I couldn't have asked for better service. Â Beautiful venue and had a great time!
Review Source:I am astonished to see that this venue received four stars. I can find three stars plausible however, this club lacks a multitude of things.
For one, I despise the security management. For a resort that is rated as a five diamond resort, Surrender has security that can be found in the ghettos of North Las Vegas. I've been threatened multiple times and cursed at. I don't care if a bouncer is socialized to have a tough attitude, there is no justification for any employee affiliated with a five diamond resort to threaten me or any of its guests.
There is also terrible organization in the promotions staff. There are times where I enlist myself in the guest list, but somehow when I get to the line, I don't find my name. Fortunately at times, they let me go, but it is hard to hide the fact that this promotions team lacks organization.
Yes they do have high profile DJs coming out. However, blindfold me and hell, I won't be able to tell whose playing. All the DJs play the same music!!!!! Note that I am very well aware of EDM. But all the music played at Surrender sounds practically identical.
My only catch to come out to Surrender will only be when I get a comped table. A table makes my experience at Surrender a lot more convenient.
I expect a lot more from a 5 Diamond Resort so I suggest that this management starts living up to the resort's expectations and standards.
I came here on a Sunday night during MDW for Above & Beyond. Â With a pre-sale ticket the line moved flawlessly. Â Surrender is a beautiful outdoor club that also doubles as Encore Beach Club. Â Lots of space to walk around and not feel like a sardine. Â
The only negative thing here was the dance/DJ area is fairly long and narrow and was heavily regulated by Surrender staff. Â Yeah, you know what that means, basically GIRLS only. Â I know this should be expected, but I'm not sure about you, but it's a major buzz kill to be in the presence of artists like A&B and NOT be dancing. Â It's ok, still an awesome looking club.
Came here to see Above & Beyond, and had an awesome time! I really liked how open and airy the outdoor area is. I should've stayed out there so I could've had room to dance, but it was still really fun. The not so big dance floor got packed fast and closed pretty early on in the night. Fearing I wouldn't be able to return back to the main room, I ended up just staying inside. Despite the packed crowd, everyone was friendly and gave it a fun atmosphere. A&B's set was also really enjoyable and kept the energy up. At one point, they directed a snide remark towards will.i.am for his rip off of Rebound which left the crowd cheering. With its beautiful setup, Surrender is definitely one of my favorite venues in Vegas. Untz Untz Untz
Tip: If you need to get a cab after the night is done at XS or Surrender, walk over to the Palazzo and grab a cab without the absurd lines.
I had a lot of fun here, but I'm not really a clubby type person (why I went to Vegas, I don't know). We just ad to put our name on the list online and we got in within 15 minutes.
The place is full of little separate pools which sets a fun mood, but they are only open to people on certain days/nights. They had an open bar from 11pm-midnight which was lovely and the bartender was super quick about it and made sure to rotate around and serve everyone. There are  couple of bars and a dance area but most of it is just to lounge around and socialize which is nice. And the crowd that it draws is cool. Not a bunch of stuck ups, which is a plus.
I do have to say it's a little over priced though. Over $50 for three drinks after open bar was over.
This review is more on the performance and DJ, rather than the nightclub itself. It is a nice nightclub with outdoor and indoor seating. But I'm all about the music that fills the air.
ERIC PRYDZ... Black Dice! ...enough said. I've been here twice... a few years ago for Afrojack and Calvin Harris in one night. Recently for Prydz... a master at work (DJing). His Black Dice themed party is not your glamour Vegas production show. It is cut down, focused just on the music. Eric played a 3 1/2 set past 4am. Great times!
The place is swank, with its cool lights and awesome conversion of the outside pool area. But the DJ was pretty bad and the drinks were pretty pricey  ($22 for a redbull vodka) so I can't say that I was really feeling it that night. But it wasn't super crowded and there was plenty of room to talk outside so I guess it was good for just chillin. Oh and the outside blackjack and craps tables were a definite plus. If I had to do it over again though, I'd go back to XS or check out Hakkasan.
Review Source:Surrender is the sh!t!! Always a good time! Saw Calvin Harris here and Afrojack. Both times were amazing. Had a Cabanna for Calvin Harris which was way over 5,000$. Worth every cent. This club is beautiful and the pool makes it even better.
The warming tent in winter is UGLY and rediculous. So dirty. Come with friends and BUY BOTTLE SERVICE.... Its VERY nice to have your own personal space.
I felt like a VIP when I came here. Â I was able to score a pass to the front of the line, so I did not have to wait long to get in. Â How you ask? Not sure, my friend who I was with has magic club powers. Â If you have to wait in the very long line, Â I'm sure its not as a great experience as I had getting in. I believe girls get in free and guys have to pay $40; that was the case for that night anyway. I came on a Saturday night and girls received free drinks until midnight. Â The club often has DJs come and play music. Â Eric Prydz (Call on me) was there that night. Â I heard celebrities will make an appearance here once and a while. Â I saw Jimmi Simpson (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter) there, not super well known but an actor none the less.
The atmosphere is very posh with pools in the center of the nightclub and cool lighting. Â However, do not attempt to go in the pools, you will get yelled at. There are circular cushion chairs you can purchase, as well as tables (for a steep price). I like to track down the photographers at clubs because they take great photos that make anyone look good. Â
There is an unofficial dress code. Â Ladies should wear heels and a dress/skirt. Â Guys should wear nice jeans or pants, dress shoes and a button down shirt.
I was here on the Saturday of the first weekend of March Madness.
The sickest club I have been too. Amazing setting and just absolutely beautiful.
If you have a big group, get a cabana. They are sweet.
Morgan Pagie was there and he was unbelieveable.
Only thing was its outside and it was chilly out, so I can not even imagine how packed it gets in the summer.
Go to Surrender if you want to go to the sickest club in Las Vegas!
This place is BANGIN. We went here for my birthday 3/30/2013 to see my favorite dj, Eric Prydz. We got on a promoter's guest list and went around 1030pm (girls got in free). Line was totally chill, we got in in probably 15 minutes tops. Very easy line, no searching or pat downs from security.
The club is beautiful. Pictures don't do it justice. Lots and lots of room to move around. The dance floor is pretty packed, but it started clearing out as the night went on. We spent of the time dancing around by the pool. The sound system is unbelievable, you can literally go anywhere in the club and you'll hear the music crisp and clear.
We made a couple friends here too! People are very classy and nice, I personally didn't encounter a lot of douches or trashy girls. It was so fun to dance with chill people.
Oh, and Eric Prydz threw down so well. His set was FANTASTIC. I highly recommend anyone going to to Vegas to check out his Black Dice set at Surrender.
The only reason it doesn't get 5 full stars is because of the water situation. Maybe I'm a Vegas amateur or something, but the bartenders won't give you tap water. You have to BUY an $8 tiny Fiji water bottle. There are water foundations by the bathrooms, but who wants to leave their spot on the dance floor?
Can't speak much of the price because I always get in for free. Guys, just go with a giant group of girls and get a promoter.
Dancefloor: TINY and PACKED! (As a person who has been to clubs in Ibiza.) Don't expect to dance, because you'll be standing the whole night. Either on the dance floor or outside.
Club: Inside and outside with a pool, it's at the Wynn so of course it's a nice club.
Drinks: Again, go with a giant group of girls, because girls get free drinks. BUT, let the girls carry it out. A bouncer once snatched it from my hands because they use a different cup. And apparently guys can't carry them, even if she needs to use the bathroom and asks you to hold it. Or even if a girl is too intoxicated and wants you to help her finish it.
Bouncers: -_______- It's Vegas, we all know.
I've had so so experiences, Good and Bad. Either you're wasted that night and don't remember, so the night was amazing. Or its your first time in Vegas, or first time in a big city for some people.
Out of all the nightclubs I went to in Vegas, this was one of the top ones on my list.
I was really impressed! The music, the drinks, enough space to accommodate pretty much everyone, drinks, strippers, drinks....
Come to Vegas, do come here. Better than some of the other clubs on the strip.
I can't decide how much I like this club. On one hand I really like the fact that there is so much room and that most of the club is outside. There is definitely a lot of room to spread out and escape the crowds. The VIP setup, however, wasn't my fav of the Vegas club's i've been to. Bouncers were also severely cranky. I also feel like because it's so large it may be easy to get lost in the space.
It's worth a trip to see what you think for yourself.
Wow. Â Just wow.
Even if you have presale tickets, they make you wait behind the notorious velvet rope now just to get to the dance floor. Â Most of Surrender is now outside where Encore Beach Club is and if you don't come pretty early, it's almost impossible to get to the dance floor to see the DJ. Â What's the point in coming here if only 10% of the guests can actually see the talent instead of watching them on a screen outside?
Even if you do get in, it's crammed like hell in there. Â They rope off the right side for VIP tables and the left side for the bar. Â If you are next to the stage, good luck getting out to get a drink or even use the restroom. Â You won't be able to. Â Horrible, HORRIBLE experience. Â I am never coming back here for as long as I live. Â Mark my words. Â I hope they don't eff up Splash Dance and do the same lame set up.
The best!
Open bar, great set-up, nice decor, friendly bartenders, big open space, good music, what more can someone ask for?
Surrender ROCKED. We had the best time ever. We partied way into the early morning and danced like we never danced before. We found a nice area outside by the pool where we were able to stash our stuff and even sit when we needed a break. The cute cocktail waitresses came around with the pre-made shots which were very tasty. The dj played great music and there were plenty of places to go if you wanted to leave the main dance floor when it got to crowded.
It was my baby cousin's 21st birthday and she had a blast and we all did too. Luckily we were on a list so we didn't have to wait to long. I would definitely check out Surrender again the next time I'm in Vegas.
Surrender is one of the best clubs I've ever been to. There's like a million dance floors, always ends up being open bar somewhere or the other (or free champagne for girls) and it's so incredibly spacious that it's never too crowded. It's a lot of walking but I honestly think it's worth it because there's a lot to see and each area of the club is a greattttt time. Every time I come to Vegas I find myself at Surrender. The one huge indoor dance floor gets REALLY crowded and there will be douches that push little girls like me around. But there is always a solution to that problem, stick your gum in their hair and run away.
Note to drunk girls -- don't lie on the counter in the bathroom with your purse open. Everything WILL fall out, and you WILL NOT notice, and you WILL lose your ID. And then find it 10 minutes later because the cleaning lady is an angel.
Another note -- do not go to the cabanas to pee because security WILL incessantly knock on your door yelling for you to come out or else they will kick you out. Those are private, $10,000 bathrooms and they will make sure you don't forget that. Go find a normal bathroom and save yourself the humiliation.
Celebrated the eve of my birthday here on August 8, 2012. Initially, we wanted to celebrate it at Marquee, but decided to let whichever place was best on that particular day and whoever was playing be the deciding factor. Surrender was the only one who had anyone we recognized - Sultan & Ned - playing on a Wednesday night. We had bottle service and arrived around 11:45pm. Upon arriving, we were upgraded to a private cabana with a balcony facing Las Vegas Blvd.
While Surrender may not be the shiniest most newest club in Vegas, it is still a lot of fun - especially when you've got your own cabana. I thought that the heat would've been an issue in the middle of August with Surrender being open air, but fortunately I didn't even really notice it. (The heat makes me very cranky.)
I was, however, surprised by the lack of service and security guards near our cabana. We had a number of random people coming in to take epic swigs of our liquor (they finished more than 2 bottles), and my friend ended up having to assume the role of alcohol guardian.
I was far too smashed to really notice much else.
I'll start this review off by staying that I hate clubs and always thought they were ridiculous - Surrender completely changed that. Â I decided to go out for my 30th birthday and had one of the best nights of my life. Â
The club is stunning both inside and out, the music was killer (Knife Party), and most importantly there was a lot of good looking people having a blast. Â The only thing that I semi had a problem with was the differences in drink prices - I ordered the same thing multiple times and each time it was a different price...
Other than that, I will be back and I highly recommend people to go! Â (We went on a Thursday)
On a side note (I thought it was absolutely hilarious) when we were waiting to get into the club the bouncer was coming around checking IDs. Â The guy behind me tried to use a fake ID and argue with the bouncer that it was real. Â The bouncer proceeds to get another ID from the same state and shows him how his is fake - tells him "nice try". Â After being nice and giving him the fake ID back the guy tries to pay him off so he could get in the club and the bouncer straight out says "now your trying to bribe me? I could have you arrested for that" and calls security on him. Â Point of the story, don't try a fake ID here! Â (Also t-shirts and tennis shoes will get you removed from the line)
I went to Surrender on a Saturday night. Â It was crowded and a long line, but no for bottle service. Â Ordered 4 bottles and was given a table next to the DJ. Â WOW!!! Â What a view of the total party and this awsome looking club.
You can walk tot he back and out onto the pool, where there is more music and partying. Â If you are coming to Vegas and reading this review wondering if it is a place for you and friends to party/dance/people watch and have a VEGAS club experience... Answer is "YES" Â Â VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously I don't remember much this may be one of my vaguest reviews yet, can't blame me I was in Vegas for a reason as most are :)
Me and my girls got in super fast, free, with no problems. Complimentary table, and bottle service/drinks all night. I do remember a stripper pole in the outside area, Jacuzzi, and cabanas. I had a blast and have the pictures that will never see the light of day to prove it. Well done Vegas ...well done!
The best way to start any Vegas trip is Surrender on Friday. Â For some reason, all the good looking girls are always here on Friday's! Â If you're a guy, that's all you needed to know. Â As always though, buy presale so you don't have to deal with too much door drama.
It can get pretty damn cold during the Winter months, but they put up some "greenhouse" kind of structure over the center portion of the pool that will keep you warm. Â You can still pretty much go around the whole club, it's just cold.
One of the top 3 clubs of Las Vegas!!!.. A very beautiful and upscale club which is exactly what you would expect from The Encore. Love how they have both an awesome indoor AND outdoor area for party goers. The outdoor area is also known as Encore Beach Club during the summer days. PARK IN THE GARAGE TO THE RIGHT OF EBC so you don't have to walk all through the casino in your heels and hoochimama outfit~
I got a comped cabana here with bottle service for my birthday and the cocktail servers were nice.. They didn't really socialize with us and I think they only made 1 round of drinks for us but they were friendly haha that night we met a VIP Host named Edwin Flowers,he was very helpful and polite so contact him if you ever need anything!
OH I just remembered.. One of the bouncers out by the lines was SO rude! we had been waiting in line for a good 30 minutes and then some other bouncer told us to move to another line so we moved only to find that was the WRONG LINE. So we went back to where we were standing and the bouncer who clearly saw us standing there before was such an ass and told us we needed to go to the back of the line UGHHH.. lack of communication on their part and he was just plain RUDE! Fellow yelpers, Mandi L & Jenny D., told his ass we would YELP him!! too bad we got too drunk and forgot his name HAHAHA
Anyways, besides the rude security dude.. Surrender Nightclub is pretty awesome ;]]]
HOT TIP: Make sure to stop by and say hello to that cutie Asian bartender with a mohawk AKA Mike C. ~!!! He makes the best drinks!
This club is so ass backwards.
My girlfriend purchased tickets for Calvin Harris to save time. Instead we got dumped into the guest list line where they kept it backed up. Turns out girls get in for free with guest list and only guys have to pay. What was the point of getting tickets then? Wouldn't it make more sense to put general admission and guest list together? Common sense is hard to come by these days, I suppose.
Secondly, the line management was awful. They manufactured a line and allowed other people to step right up to the front outside the line and cut to get in. Of course money will buy you that sort of convenience, but at least keep the line moving. My girlfriend called Encore's management to file a complaint and they handled it very poorly. They kept transferring her over and eventually hung up on her.
The set up inside was a nightmare. It was shoulder to shoulder inside and in order to get into the actual dance floor, you had to pay ANOTHER $40 to get in. Otherwise you get to enjoy the talent from some speakers and a TV. Oh, and by enjoy I mean a grainy ass image of the talent on stage and some sorry ass speakers tucked away in the background.
Go spend your money and time elsewhere.
MY NEW FAVORITE SPOT IN VEGAS!
Came here Friday 1/25/3013 Nervo was guest Dj that night.
Arrived here around 11:30 pm line was not the long, went in free so cool with me!!
I'm guessing they play top 40 and hip hop before the guest DJ comes out at 1:30 which is fine with me you get a good mix of both!
-Drinks are regular Vegas prices!
-Dance floor is tight but I could manage.
This is my new EDM spot in Vegas. I can't wait to come back when they open up the beach club area in the Spring!If you love EDM stick to XS, SURRENDER, MARQUEE, and HAZE as far as I know.
I always have soooo much fun when I'm here! My boyfriend knows one of the promoters so this is THE club we're always at whenever we're in Vegas. The line to get in is never really that long when I'm here. But then again, being on the guest list has its perks!
The venus is absolutely gorgeous! It's an outdoor club and I love the whole pool thing they have going on in the middle - it's so pretty! During the summer, they use it as a day club - Encore Beach Club. I've only been once but it's amazing! At night, people can come dressed up in club attire or in their bathing suits. In the winter, they close the pool area and put a huge tent-like roof over it so it seems more indoory and to keep it warmer. It does make the whole place more crowded because they don't use up the entire area, but it's still great!
I love how Surrender ALWAYS takes care of their girls - free champagne and vodka! They also have a gambling area by the back bar. I love how my boyfriend is able to have fun gambling while I enjoy the drinks and the DJ. And the music... AMAZING! I absolutely love partying here!
Four stars, mainly because of the deal we got.
We came here on a Friday night (a few days before Christmas). We actually came because a promoter offered us free drinks, table service, and of course entry.
We had a lot of fun, some people lost their tables though when others actually bought a table. Â I think the place was filled mainly because they offered the same deal to so many groups of ladies to get the place filled. I thought the drinks barely tasted like alcohol, but hey, I might drink a little more than others do. We also received wristbands that allowed us to get free drinks (vodka and champagne only) at the bar. The bar area was packed with people trying to get drinks by 11.
The dancefloor is pretty small, but it wasn't too crowded. I thought overall it was great time, minus the fight that ensued and one of my girls getting punched in the face. The bouncer who helped her was really nice about everything and even asked if she needed ice, wanted to press charges, etc.
Overall I would like to come back and check this place out on a busier weekend.
Came here on a Friday night with 3 of my girls. I had a hook up get us in with some open bar perks. Lil John was there that night so we were excited. This club was way too small to accommodate the people in it. When we arrived, we didn't have a lot of time to get free open bar, so we decided to get on it ASAP. Because the club was so crowded, the security men weren't even letting people get in line around the bar area!! It was ridiculous. After waiting over 30 mins to get to the bar, the bartenders were total assholes. I always tip even if it's open bar, but they were obviously bitter about the crowds. All of the music played while we were here was house which was another ehh. One of my gfs said she was getting charged $22 for the same drink I was paying $15 for at a different bar in the same club.
Looking at the high reviews from the other people here, it was obviously an off-night for Surrender, and I can understand that. There were enough inexcusable inconveniences that night to keep me from ever coming back here. NEXT!
