Unlike many casinos that are an enormous spread of tables and slots, the Encore gaming floor is sectioned by columns and drapery to suggest intimacy and privacy. Adjacent to XS nightclub, this lounge area merges with the nightclub’s festive and sultry environment after dark.
Several blackjack tables are positioned poolside. The European pool’s island bar encourages guests to dip their feet while enjoying cocktails. The Resort pool is bordered by a formal garden of slender amphora vases, flowering plants, palms, and evergreen magnolia trees. Tropez vibe with white cabanas, lily pods (reclining cushions surrounding umbrellas), and in-pool daybeds. The largest water features are the two oval plunges immediately outside the casino. All Encore restaurants offer a sophisticated and visually exciting environment. Restaurants include Sinatra, serving classical Italian cuisine Wazuzu, featuring pan-Asian preparations Andrea’s, for Asian fusion and Jardin, a more casual alfresco venue. Affecting the light are lustrous white-and-beige marble floors and walls, which reflect the glow.

Those same windows transmit radiant moonlight as well. A deluge of sunlight flows though vaulted translucent ceilings and vertical windows at the main entrance atrium, as well as in the casino, conference center, shopping area, and nooks overlooking the pool. Guests are invited to rub the paws of each dog. One dog sits over a ball representing Earth and symbolizes power the other dog straddles a baby and is a symbol of good fortune. The Foo Dogs are replicas of large canines that historically guarded Asian palaces and temples by thwarting evil spirits. The Oriental influence at Encore is apparent from the moment you arrive at the hotel’s dual porte cocheres, where two bronze sculptures greet arrivals. The flowers, predominantly red roses and red chrysanthemums, are effusive throughout. The rich, vibrant reds signify luck-appropriate for a gaming establishment-and the whimsical, beautiful, and colorful butterflies denote evolution and change. The signature components of Encore’s environment are the color red, flowers, natural sunlight, and butterflies.
According to Steve Wynn, the casino is modeled on his Macau casino. Standard accommodations at Encore are 700-square-foot suites with separate sleeping and sitting areas. More than an expansion of Wynn Las Vegas, Encore is a full-scale resort with a 74,000-square-foot casino, an elaborate pool complex, five fine-dining venues, a half-dozen lounges and bars (including a hot and très-chic nightclub), a showroom, an upscale shopping venue, and, of course, a spa and fitness center. This 2,034-suite hotel, called Wynn Encore, is similar in size and design to the original hotel. Wynn launched construction on a second hotel on the first anniversary of the opening of Wynn Las Vegas. Bob Sehlinger, author of The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas, shares with us his review of the Wynn Encore in Las Vegas.
