When a Girl Gang Took Over Encore Las Vegas

Описание: Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star luxury resort, casino, and hotel, epitomizes elegance and sophistication on the Las Vegas Strip. Opened on December 22, 2008, and built at a cost of $2.3 billion, Encore is a sister property to Wynn Las Vegas, connected via an indoor walkway and sharing the former site of the Desert Inn resort. Designed to attract an upscale clientele, Encore offers a boutique vibe with a playful yet refined aesthetic, featuring vibrant red chandeliers, butterfly motifs symbolizing good luck, and natural lighting—a rarity in casino design. Its 48-story bronze glass tower, nearly identical to Wynn’s, houses 2,034 suites, ranging from 700-square-foot Resort Suites to expansive 5,800-square-foot Tower Suites, all blending modern sophistication with intricate textures and a neutral color palette accented by houndstooth patterns and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The resort’s accommodations are a hallmark of luxury. Encore Resort Suites, starting at 745 square feet, feature one King or two Queen Wynn Dream Beds, a separate living area, and a 55-inch 4K UHD television on a swiveling base. Bathrooms boast Italian marble, oversized tubs, dual sinks, and a 13-inch LCD TV. In-room technology includes bedside consoles for controlling lights, drapes, and privacy settings, as well as tablets for managing reservations and room service. Tower Suites elevate the experience with exclusive amenities like a private pool deck, daily breakfast credits, and butler service for higher-end options like the 3,475-square-foot Two Bedroom Apartment or the 5,829-square-foot Three Bedroom Duplex, complete with billiard and exercise rooms.
Encore’s 72,000-square-foot casino offers a vibrant gaming experience with slots, table games like blackjack and roulette, and five high-limit salons for high rollers, featuring baccarat and panoramic views. A state-of-the-art race and sports book, added in 2017, enhances the gaming portfolio. The casino’s sky-lit, floral-filled galleries, adorned with red chandeliers, create an inviting atmosphere, though smoking is permitted, which some guests note as a drawback. The Wynn Rewards program offers perks like FREECREDIT for slot play, ensuring added value for frequent visitors.
Dining at Encore is a culinary journey, with signature restaurants catering to diverse palates. Sinatra, a Four-Star Italian restaurant, serves classics like lasagna Napoletana amid Frank Sinatra memorabilia. Wazuzu, a Pan-Asian eatery, features a 27-foot Swarovski crystal dragon and dishes from Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisines. Jardin offers farm-fresh fare in a conservatory setting, while Delilah, a modern supper club, evokes Hollywood glamour with shareable plates. Casual options like Espresso, a quick-serve café, and the resort’s famed buffet provide additional variety, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available across all venues.
The resort’s amenities are equally impressive. The Spa at Encore, also Four-Star rated, features 37 treatment rooms, plunge pools, and a golden peacock centerpiece, offering top-tier wellness treatments. Two sprawling pool areas, surrounded by manicured gardens and cabanas, include a seasonal European Pool and a lively Encore Beach Club, hosting world-class DJs. The 27,000-square-foot Encore Esplanade retail area showcases luxury brands like Chanel, Hermes, and Roberto Cavalli, while the intimate Encore Theater hosts legendary artists and comedians. XS Nightclub, with its outdoor pool and 10-foot rotating chandelier, remains a nightlife hotspot.
Located opposite the Fashion Show Mall, Encore is steps from Las Vegas Boulevard’s attractions, just 13 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport. Guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, fitness center access, and concierge services, though a $55 daily resort fee applies. Despite occasional critiques of crowded restaurants or pool access during events, Encore’s impeccable service, opulent design, and vibrant atmosphere make it a premier destination for those seeking an elevated Las Vegas experience.
