Encore Las Vegas Las Vegas Hotel

As the name suggests...considering Wynn Las Vegas is its big sister...you can expect the best of the best at Encore.


Starting at the suites (you won't find any "standard rooms" here) are spacious and, well, simply amazing. From the ultra comfy Wynn Dream bed and the TV in the bathroom (so you can watch TV while brushing your teeth) to the automated blinds and lights, everything in these suites is fantastic.


The location of Encore is fantastic too. Connected to Wynn, it's not far from the center of the Strip. It's also right across the street from the Fashion Show mall, plus several other must-visit megaresorts are within walking distance.


How shall we describe Encore's style? Exquisite. Impeccable. Bold. These are just a few of the words that come to mind. When you see the long Swarovski crystal dragon in Wazuzu or the golden statue of Daphne metamorphosing into a tree in Encore Lobby Bar, you'll probably come up with some of your own...if you're not rendered speechless.

Are you a traveling vegan or vegetarian wondering how you'll survive in Vegas? Relax. If you're staying at Encore, you'll be pleased to discover that all of its restaurants (along with those at Wynn) have menu items designed especially for you.


Use the self-parking garage at Encore. It's the kind of garage we wish all the hotels in Vegas had. When you drive in, you'll pull onto a ramp where a digital sign informs you of how many unoccupied parking spaces are available on each level. Once you've parked, it's a short walk to the elevator, which takes you to the property's northeast corner, near the pool and heart of the casino.


 

OK, when you choose to stay here you know you’re choosing to live on the luxurious side of life. It's not just the suites that look shiny and new. If you're looking for a meal sprinkled with sophistication and fabulousness, you’ve found it. Head over to Wazuzu (say Wazuzu ten times fast and try to tell us we didn’t give you 30 seconds of entertainment) or, If you don’t want to eat alone head over to Espresso, where you can pick up a quick coffee, pastry or sandwich and stuff your face in your room when no one is looking.


The Encore Esplanade is home to a handful of unique stores, but if you're big on shopping you should head over to the Wynn Esplanade or Wynn Plaza. It's a bit of a walk but well worth it. There are more stores here and the names on them like Alexander McQueen.


If you've come to Encore to go to XS, make sure to queue up immediately in the small rooms adjacent to the nightclub when you arrive. XS is located along the Encore Esplanade, so security guards will shoo you away if you appear to be hanging around with no purpose...because Encore is just not that kind of place.


Also as an FYI, no outside food or beverages are allowed in the resort or the casino, even if you're staying in a room. All guests who arrive with these items will be told to throw it away or leave it in their car.
