After using Virtual DJ in the bedroom for so long, it is time for me to start blasting it at the club.
So my associates and I are opening a nightclub/arcade in the summer. And Ive been asked to set the place up with the sound system. The thing is, the place has quite some space all around, creating a lot of echo. I'm not exactly sure what set up would be needed in order for the music to flow loudly and smoothly throughout the entire club, without reverbing all over the place.

Thats the view from where the DJ booth will be

Pool will be turned into a dancefloor

What kind of sound system should I be looking for? How much? That bass has got to flow through your body-
Any advice, help , tips is appreciated. :)

your going to need to include a really good reverb system into your setup if you want to reduce the echo, either that or install some acoustic ceilings and wall plates to kill the echo. sound deadening sheets are not hugely expensive and will work better than any sound system will.
it is more than likely that a sound system for that place, that can be used without it echoing is going to run up a massive bill. the best option in my opinion would be to look into fitting sound deadening materials to the higher wall and ceiling areas or the venue. once this is done it will be much easier to solve the sound system.
the pool is also going to have some affect on sound... not exactly sure what, but it is..

There's only one way to do this and that is to seek the advice of specialist sound companies, get quotes from at least three or more if time permits, you will also need to get written into a (must have) contract stipulations what you want the system to produce and more importantly what you don't want. But the sound guys should know what they are about.
