Hotel Encore at Wynn, Las Vegas
More photosEncore at Wynn Las Vegas, which opened in 2008, serves as the stylish “younger sister” to the adjacent Wynn Las Vegas. Conceived by Steve Wynn and named by his then-wife Elaine, the resort was built on the former site of the iconic Desert Inn. Designed to be more intimate and contemporary than its predecessor, it features a bold aesthetic filled with vibrant colors, floral motifs, and unique butterfly accents meant to bring good luck.
One of the most innovative design choices at Encore is its approach to the casino floor. Unlike the traditional, windowless gaming halls found elsewhere on the Strip, the Encore casino is flooded with natural light. It is divided into columned, garden-flanked pavilions, creating a refreshing atmosphere that feels more like a conservatory than a standard gaming space.
The resort is essentially a “resort-within-a-resort,” offering its own distinct entrance, pools, and high-end retail area known as the Encore Esplanade. It is also a major entertainment hub, housing the famous Encore Beach Club and the nightclub XS, which is known for its iconic rotating chandelier. Dining options are equally notable, including the restaurant Sinatra, which pays homage to the legendary singer with an impressive collection of personal memorabilia.
Situated at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, the property is perfectly positioned for exploring the city. You are just a short trip from major attractions like the Fountains of Bellagio or the High Roller observation wheel, making it a luxurious, central launchpad for any Vegas adventure.
Expert reviews
“Choose from Resort or Tower rooms at Steve Wynn’s youngest and arguably most stylish property, whose curvaceous form is an almost perfect inversion of Wynn’s, three years its senior.”
“As far as luxury is concerned, Las Vegas simply doesn’t get much better. Encore redefines the typical Vegas casino-resort experience with new levels of extravagance.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Las Vegas.
“The rooms of younger sister Encore next door are comparatively elegant and luxurious, following the same calming aesthetic, but with a few subtle, chic differences. Encore is all suites, with separate sitting and sleeping areas divided by a half wall.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Las Vegas.
“The casual elegance of the décor is both playful and intimate, from the vibrant red chandeliers in the casino to the alluring golden peacock in the spa to the signature butterfly motif fluttering throughout the property (said to portend good luck). Guest suites have floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Strip, swiveling ultra-high definition TVs and limestone and marble baths.”
“The younger, sister property to Wynn Las Vegas maintains the lavish standards of the original, with unabashed displays of opulence and high-end design around every corner. It’s the brand that started luxury in Vegas, and it shows.”

Great luxury stay on the strip.
Room was spacious and clean. Good location. Great view.
The price for what is a non-peak tourist season still seemed pretty high. Especially considering there is no sort of breakfast included.

Always great memories at the Encore.
Encore Is above the other hotels I have visited in Las Vegas. Service, decor and facilities are what you would expect in a luxury hotel.
Week day cost was a bit exaggerated as compare to Conrad for example; another luxury stay.

Happy the hotel delivered what I expected 😊
Loved everything about the hotel.
Beds super comfortable.
Staff attentive.
I asked for 2 rooms near each other .Didn't happen.
Although I appreciate the staff at the casino work long hours a little more of a welcome ie a smile when you sit down at the table might be nice .

Fantastic service and attention
Excelent stay, everything was perfect as you would dream of a high class hotel . Absolutely fantastic.
The price of services and food overall are higher than you would expect. Even for Las Vegas standard. Somebody gotta finance all that staff lol

Beautiful room with all the coolest features.
Loved the breakfast at Jardin. The food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. Our waitress, Lori, was really nice and fun to talk to.
The coffee place in the lobby was too small and very few places to sit down. The food was OK but not great.

Great experience, front desk lady very rude
The rooms were great for their price, clean, room service excellent, whole room technology
A worker at the check-in counter was asking us if we had any plans, I didn’t know she was trying to dig in so I just said visiting the sphere, and she was like “no high end restaurant reservations?” Like why would I tell you? So during the checkin process she kept saying stuff we couldn’t here and rolling eyes at us, we decided before to give the checkin staff 100 dollars if they had a good attitude, but the attitude of this lady? I’ve been to many high end hotels and this staff is the worst I’ve ever had to deal with

Other Las Vegas hotels
The Cosmopolitan Hotel, Las Vegas
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, which opened in 2010, is a striking landmark on the Strip designed by the architecture firm Arquitectonica. Unlike many neighboring resorts that rely on specific themes, the Cosmopolitan was designed as a modern, vertical urban space. Its two iconic towers, the Boulevard and the Chelsea, are notable for their dramatic, folding glass facades that shimmer like sculptures against the desert sky.
Fodors + 4 more“The Cosmopolitan is artistic. It’s stylish. It’s sophisticated. If you came to Vegas wanting a little bit more elegance mixed with your typical Vegas charm, you have come to the right place.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Las Vegas.
Circa Resort & Casino, Las Vegas
Circa Resort & Casino is a game-changer for downtown Las Vegas, marking the first ground-up casino resort built in the area since 1980. Opened in 2020 by brothers Derek and Greg Stevens, the property occupies the historic site of the old Las Vegas Club and Mermaids Casino. It stands out as an adults-only destination, blending modern luxury with a nostalgic nod to the city’s past.
CN Traveler + 1 more“A modern, 21-plus playground that mashes up vintage downtown neon and hospitality with some of the most massive sports-watching infrastructure you’ll find anywhere.”
Bellagio, Las Vegas
The Bellagio Las Vegas is an iconic resort that redefined luxury on the Strip when it opened in 1998. Conceived by casino mogul Steve Wynn, the property was built on the former site of the legendary Dunes Hotel. Designed by architect Jon Jerde, the resort draws heavy inspiration from the picturesque village of Bellagio on Italy’s Lake Como, aiming to transport guests to the opulence of the Mediterranean.
Lonely Planet + 3 more“When it opened in 1998, Bellagio was the world’s most expensive hotel. Aging gracefully, it remains one of America’s finest. Its sumptuous oversized guest rooms fuse classic style with modern amenities and feature palettes of platinum, indigo and muted white-gold.”
New York-New York Hotel, Las Vegas
The New York-New York Hotel & Casino is a quintessential slice of the Big Apple transplanted directly onto the Las Vegas Strip. Opened in 1997, the resort was designed by Gaskin-Bezanski & Associates to replicate a condensed, 1940s-era Manhattan skyline. Its striking architecture features a collection of 12 interconnected skyscrapers, including a 47-story replica of the Empire State Building, all constructed at approximately one-third the scale of the real thing.
Telegraph“If you want peak United States, then this budget-friendly Vegas Strip favourite is your spot. Colourful pageantry, ersatz replicas of US landmarks aplenty, and the most American amenity possible: an on-site roller coaster. Give it the old razzle-dazzle without breaking the bank.”
