Encore is the all-suite sister tower to Wynn Las Vegas, with roughly 2,000 suites from about 745 square feet, Encore Beach Club and XS nightclub on site, and an indoor link to everything at Wynn. It is the livelier, more nightlife-focused half of the Wynn pair, and it costs accordingly.
Encore opened in December 2008 next door to Wynn Las Vegas, in a matching bronze-glass tower on the north Strip. Wynn Resorts owns and runs both, and they share a single resort experience: you can walk indoors along the Esplanade to Wynn's restaurants, golf club and theater in a few minutes. Encore's difference is that every room is a suite. Entry-level suites start at about 745 square feet, with a separate sitting area, large bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows.
That extra space makes Encore a good choice for longer stays and for groups who want room to get ready together. Upper-floor suites facing the Strip or the golf course are worth requesting. Suites have motorized curtains and good blackout, which helps after a late night at the club.
Encore leans more toward nightlife than Wynn. Encore Beach Club is a 55,000-square-foot pool and dayclub with cabanas, bungalows and DJ sets, and on selected nights it becomes an outdoor nightclub. It runs seasonally, usually from spring into early autumn, so check dates before you plan around it. Encore also has its own quieter guest pool, a spa and a casino that is brighter and more relaxed than many on the Strip.
Dining on the Encore side is a strength. It includes Sinatra, an Italian room themed on the singer, Wazuzu for pan-Asian dishes and Casa Playa for coastal Mexican, and Wynn's SW Steakhouse and Delilah are a short walk away. Encore Theater, a 1,480-seat room shared with Wynn, books comedy and concerts. Fontainebleau and Resorts World are a short walk or ride north, and The Venetian and Sphere are to the south, about 15 minutes on foot.
Before you book, ask whether any suite renovation is scheduled during your stay, because the Wynn group refreshes rooms in phases. Rates are at the top of the market. A nightly resort fee is added to the room rate and parking charges may apply, so compare total prices rather than headline rates before you book.
