Using flat-histogram simulations, we calculate the entropy of molecular fluids along the vapor-liquid phase boundary. Our simulation approach is based on the evaluation of the canonical and grand-canonical partition functions, which, in turn, provide access to entropy through the statistical mechanics formalism. The results allow us to determine the critical entropy of molecular fluids and to uncover that the transition occurs symmetrically from an entropic standpoint. This can best be seen through the patterns exhibited by the thermodynamic variables temperature and pressure when plotted against the entropy of the coexisting phases. This behavior is found to hold for apolar, quadrupolar, and dipolar fluids. Finally, we identify functional forms that characterize the relation between thermodynamic variables and entropy along the coexistence curve up to the critical point.
