Encore and Wynn Las Vegas collectively hold more Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star awards than any other resort and casino in the world, and in 2020 were named the second-largest and largest FTG Five-Star resorts in the world respectively. Encore has also been awarded the AAA Five Diamond Award every year since opening. The Tower Suites at Encore and The Spa have both received the Forbes Travel Guide five-star award. Together with adjacent Wynn Las Vegas, the entire Wynn complex has a total of 4,748 rooms, making it the world's seventh-largest hotel.

The resort features a 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) casino, 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) of convention space, 27,000 sq ft (2,500 m2) of retail space in "The Esplanade", a spa and salon, four restaurants, two bars, a nightclub and a Beach Club. The building is 631 feet (192 m) in height and 93 feet (28 m) in width, and has 63 floors, making it three floors higher than Wynn Las Vegas.

The resort's interior public spaces feature a combination of European and Asian influences and whimsical designs, including strong reds and a butterfly motif, in its design; the overall theme was designed by Roger Thomas. In addition, the hotel continues and expands on the original Wynn Resort's use of large scenic windows, dense greenery and filtered natural light to pervade more areas of the casino than had traditionally been done in Las Vegas. The pool area includes 29 rentable cabanas.
