Overview

Encore Las Vegas, next to Wynn, opened on December 22, 2008, as a $2.3 billion all-suite tower. It is a luxury resort with an 80,000-square-foot casino, a spa, 60,000 square feet of convention space, and shops in The Esplanade. Together with Wynn, it holds more Forbes Five-Star awards than any other resort in the world, and people come for luxury, nightlife, and fine dining.

The interior mixes European and Asian styles, with strong reds, chandeliers, and a butterfly motif that shows up in mosaics and carpets throughout the resort. All of the roughly 2,000 rooms are suites, upscale and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole resort has a polished, high-end feel.

Encore's attractions include the Lake of Dreams water and light show nearby at Wynn, along with the resort's garden-style public spaces and its large casino.

Sinatra serves Italian in a Frank Sinatra-themed room, Wazuzu is Pan-Asian, Lakeside focuses on seafood with views of the Lake of Dreams, and Jardin and Casa Playa serve American and Mexican food. Cafes and casual options round out the choices.

Encore does not have a resident production show of its own, but the Encore Theater hosts headliners, concerts, and comedy, and Wynn Las Vegas next door is home to Awakening. Check current listings.

Encore Beach Club is a 55,000-square-foot day club with three tiered pools, and the resort also has quieter pool areas. The pool season is mostly warmer months.

XS Nightclub, which opened with the resort, is one of the biggest and most famous clubs in the U.S., with an indoor room and an outdoor pool deck where top DJs perform. Encore also has lounges and bars for a quieter drink.

The Esplanade at Wynn and Encore has luxury shops, with designer fashion, jewelry, and watches from brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier. Wynn Plaza, along the Strip frontage, adds more high-end boutiques.

The resort has a spa, a salon, a fitness center, and luxury suites and villas, in keeping with its Five-Star reputation.

Encore is next to Wynn Las Vegas and near the Fashion Show mall, Resorts World, the Sphere, the Venetian and Palazzo, and the Strat.
