Review from James B.
5/19/2012
The mesmerizing view of evening Las Vegas spread outside the window. I'd been to Wynn on my last covert operation called 'Operation: Blackjack,' but Encore had a breath of fresh air from another level. I'd also been to Bellagio and Palazzo on another covert operation called 'Operation: 21.' Encore kicked their azzes blindfolded.
What a supreme combination of modern luxury, design, and technology. Everything - the ceiling, the walls, the floor, the bedroom, and the bathroom - made me feel like I was in another world. The staff were couteous, professional, and perfect. It was clearly the undisputed heavyweight champ in Vegas hotel industry.
The order from MI6 was simple. Resume the same pattern. Show up at the scheduled places at the scheduled times. A couple hours of my routine cardio strength training at their trendy, modern gym. A nutritious breakfast at the buffet. A couple hours at a nearby business convention. A nutritious lunch at the buffet again. Blowing lots of cash at the casino the entire afternoon. A delicious dinner at one of the fine dining restaurants.
I thought I heard something. I walked out of shower, naked. Dripping water all over the floor, I opened the door. Then, I stared at a classy brunette standing in the doorway. A 5'9" 120. lb femme fatale... She was my Las Vegas liaison I was supposed to rendezvous with at midnight. But first things first... Oh, btw, the bed was clean enough for our naked romance and comfortable enough for our passionate manuever... -

This review is for the casino only, as I didn't stay here, but at The Wynn next door.
It was Friday night. We were supposed to go to the Marquee nightclub to see some DJ we had tickets for, but we had gone to Tao the night before and were not in the mood.
We went to Encore casino around 4 am. Besides all the drunk people leaving the nightclubs, the casino itself was fairly dead.
We played slots. A cute cocktail waitress came up and asked us if we wanted a drink
Yes please! I ordered a margarita. She came back shortly with a tasty cocktail.
I tipped her, and we continued to play various machines.
Before I was even done that drink, another waitress came by and offered me another drink. This time I ordered a White Russian. I was running out of small bills ( which I wanted to use to tip her) so I put in 20$ in the machine. I spun once and cha- ching ! I won. I cashed right out. $70. Got my drink, tipped the waitress and left - ahead of the game.
We walked around the casino and hotel and took photos. It's really nice and high end like the Wynn
Next time I am in Vegas, I'm sure I will be back. -

Stunning hotel - the decor is unparalleled, perhaps only Bellagio comes close. The main entrance has vibrant reds, entire hotel has an Asian theme with butterflies throughout. The Tower Suites area is done in vivant greens. Encore boasts natural sunlight, which is priceless in Vegas. Casino is probably the least smoky in Vegas (win).
Service was excellent - concierge was helpful. Absolute attention to detail: guest name programmed into the TV and phone on arrival. Do not disturb switch is a nice upgrade vs. standard door signs.
ROOMS (Tower Suites)
Each floor is gorgeously appointed. Rooms are well-done in calm palettes.
Bathroom was spacious and well-lit. The only issue was the bathroom mirror sconces, which were awkwardly placed right in the middle of the mirror (bizarre) vs. flanking the sink/wall. Amenities were nice.
Fully mirrored walkway was excellent. Curtains are drawn electronically. Settee area was well-thought out with a good layout. Beds were comfortable.
Minuses:
- If you're on the Pool side, request 30th floor or higher to avoid the music noise - EBC/Surrender are super-loud day/night.
- Extremely poor reception in the suites - was unable to place any mobile calls from the room. Have never encountered this issue at other hotels.
CLUBS
With Surrender (current favorite)/Encore Beach Club (one of the hottest pool scenes right now) and XS (mega-legend) conveniently at the Wynn/Encore, you basically have everything covered.
SHOPPING
Esplanades at the Wynn/Encore and Fashion Show Mall (down the street on the Strip) boast plenty of couture labels (2 Chanels, Hermes, Manolo, McQueen etc) within dangerous reach.Listed in: Waking up in Vegas

Our stay at the Encore was nothing short of wonderful. After a two week road trip to Austin, T.X. and back, we decided there was no better way to recover than staying in Vegas for a grown up St. Patrick's Day.
Parking was ample. There was no line at check in nor any sort of area roped off for a line. Check in was ridiculously quick by any hotel standards, but especially by Vegas standards.
The suite was not small by any means, but also not the largest that I've stayed in. The floor to ceiling windows are really what won my heart. There's something amazing about that kind of a view from a Vegas high rise.
The bed was sublime, the bathtub easily fit both my husband and I, the modern design was appealing and classy.
While we didn't partake of anything from the "mini" bar we were amused to find that it held not only candy and alcohol, but sexual aides as well.
Well done, Steve. Well done.
Pros:
Separate WC in bathroom
Large Tub
Ample toiletries
Separate shower
Comfy Bed
Quiet room
Amazing views
Name on everything from players card (also your room key) to the telephone
Cons:
Casino was lacking in slot machines
At the far end of the strip
Had a woman that was gambling next to me get treated like she was a hooker. It was so blatant and uncomfortable that I stayed with her a while until her husband came back. -

It was my first time staying at encore in March and I have to say this place was stunning! My bf and I fell in love with our room. The double sinks, the tab, the shower, and the list goes on! I was offered a 2 night package deal which includes 2 nights stay with 2 tickets to the show La Reve and 2 complimentary lunch buffet. The line to the buffet was too long but the show was very good! I definitely would be coming back here again!

Nice place, I've never stayed here but I've gone to the clubs here and gambled here, I'd say it's one of the "nicer" hotels on the strip and for a more "rich/older" crowd. For those that don't know XS and Surrender are both inside this hotel (or at least accessible from here).
The one downfall here is that there aren't that many places to eat, especially if you're looking to just grab a quick bite, I think there are virtually NO quick places, all are sit down and somewhat pricey. So if you're looking to grab a quick bite before clubbing make sure you do so before you get in here. -
Review from David G.
You know what?
Life is good. Life is really damn good.
You know life is good when you can book an impromptu getaway to the Encore resort.
I mean, this resort is so freakin' beautiful and comfortable, it makes you smile from ear to ear, starting at the moment you walk in. Everything from the tastefully appointed casino, to the gardens, to the peacock statues, to the gorgeous bars and lounges decked out in sumptuous reds and browns -- it's all a feast for the eyes -- more so than most Vegas hotel/casinos.
Encore gets it (mostly) right from the start. Even the parking is easy, with a large and spacious parking garage that's easy to access and lands you right at the check-in desk. Unfortunately, the check-in line takes a minimum of 30 minutes to get through, since the desk is perpetually understaffed.
Our 19th-floor "resort suite" room was lovely. Probably the most beautiful hotel room I've had the fortune of staying at. The living room had a magnificent Strip view, which the photos don't do justice to. The electronic shades/blinds covering the floor-to-ceiling windows and the flat-screen TV in the shower were so unnecessary (but awesome!) that I felt like I was on a Bravo reality show. The bedding was easily the finest, thickest, plushest bedding I've encountered at a hotel -- and I say that as someone who's admittedly very fussy about that sort of thing. The bathroom looked beautiful but had a few plumbing issues (i.e., water backing up in the shower). These issues were never resolved but were also never serious enough to interfere with our stay.
A tip: The Wynn/Encore hotel bathroom give you freebie bottles of the Desert Bambu bath products, which are the most delicious and heavenly products you'll encounter. Steal them! Take them home! Better yet: tip a housekeeper and see if he or she will give you extra! Desert Bambu is not available in any store, except for the in-house Wynn/Encore boutiques, where you'll be overcharged for them.
A warning: do NOT touch the tray of temptation. If you even displace any of the snack bar/tray items for even a few seconds, you'll be charged $8 for a couple Swedish fish. Yes, they're on a weight sensor. The Wynn/Encore will find every possible way to nickel-and-dime you, so I repeat -- do NOT touch the tray of temptation.
Rooms aside, the Wynn/Encore complex is superb because you never really have to leave. The pool is stunning, and it has a dedicated access elevator for hotel guests. (There's even a "European pool" if you're into seeing twice as many exposed areolas than you would at the regular pool.) The selection of restaurants is probably the best on the Strip. (We tried the Buffet and SW Steakhouse and loved both.) For entertainment, there's a handful of nightclubs (XS and Surrender) as well as a dayclub (Encore Beach Club). The point is: if you get bored at Encore, there's something seriously wrong.
With so many delicious hotel options on the Strip, it's often hard to choose. Take it from me, though: you can't go wrong with the Encore.Listed in: Stripped

Encore is amazing.
It has to be my favorite hotel in Vegas. It was originally the Venetian, but the Encore won me over.
First off I love the red color everywhere. The hotel is gorgeous, and staying at the Encore, you don't really need to leave your hotel at all, but of course you do.
You have XS and Surrender, which are both gorgeous clubs, and the encore beach club which is one of my favorite pools in Vegas.
Encore has it all...except a cheap price tag.
But when you do vegas, you have to do vegas right. ;) -

Not my favorite hotel, but if we ever give up on mLife, I wouldn't mind starting new here.
I'm not fond of the layout of either this nor its adjoining Wynn, we always get so lost so easily and finding our car after XS is not fun when you're on a good buzz (don't worry, we have DD's).
Tables here are hit or miss, mostly miss, but friendly dealers.
Slots are like highway robbery, no matter the denomination or bet, so I steer clear of those now. Definitely wish I had used a players card back then, who knows what offers I missed out on.
My parents stayed here a few times and have had pleasant experiences, but nothing to really draw them back in (my mom prefers Aria now and my dad prefers staying at home, lol).
We'll see, we don't like the changes so much for mLife, so the Wynn/Encore might be our new home next year. -

Recenly stayed at the Encore and thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day vacation. The hotel and rooms are beautifully decorated and maintained. The suites are large, well-appointed and very clean. As an added bonus, the impressive floor-to-ceiling windows boast a beautiful view of the strip. Mr. Wynn certainly knows hotels and it really shows in all of the details that really matter. Everything from the decor to their customer service is top notch.
The restaurants on the property are plentiful. We especially enjoyed Wazuzu.
I look forward to staying at the Encore on our next visit to Vegas. -

The last time I stayed here I gave this place two stars. Now, I'm dropping it to one star. Like I said last time, the place is beautiful and a great hotel. However, the rules have gotten worse. I've been coming to The Encore for over 5 years now. I never pack anything other than shorts and tank tops since Vegas is hot. So, I'm wearing my Baron Davis Warriors jersey and the lady at the lounge says to me that she can't serve my girlfriend food with me standing next to her since tank tops on men are banned. My girlfriend was wearing a tank top too and her nipples were poking through the shirt pretty good. I asked what's the difference if my shoulders were showing. I said my girldfriends nipples are showing and that would normally be a problem in many bars/restaurants. She said men have to wear shirts with sleaves and women can wear anything they want. Wow!
Later at the European pool, my girlfriend was topless and in her thong/g-string. She wanted to buy me a beer at the bar by the topless pool. We both walk up there and they say they can't sell her a beer because she is topless. My girlfriend says it's a topless pool and you are the bar at the topless pool. Why can't you sell me a beer? Their response was we have rules. Mind you, I was wearing my basketball jersey and at the topless pool they can serve me, but not a topless woman.
The Encore makes no sense to me. A great hotel that doesn't cater to its customers. I will stay there again because it's nice and the best hotel on the strip. However, I will never hangout there and spend money. I would rather go to other hotels where things are more laid back.
Sorry Encore, you only get one star.1 Previous Review: Show all »

In regards to the Encore- First of all, my family has been visiting Las Vegas two or three times a year for at least 30 years. We have stayed in almost all of the bigger hotels. But, Encore looked so pretty the last time we visited that we decided to stay there for part of our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Let's just say-I will never ever stay at the Encore again.
We has an ongoing problem in our room and it wasn't addressed until two days of complaining. We had been encouraged to pay extra for an upgrade and we took them up on the opportunity.
What we got? A smelly problem that turned out to be a SEWER back-up problem that was a frequent issue with a lot of the floors at this part of the Wynn/Encore Hotel. Our clothes smelled like this awful odor too. We tried to get them cleaned, but were refused. When we spoke to a hotel manager we were told that the person we needed to speak to wasn't available for two more days. A huge hotel and no one in customer service? Really? We were only offered a champagne fruit and cheese plate for our trouble and
we were moved, but the "new" room was not an-upgraded room and we were charged the same daily price.
I've told all of my friends to skip this hotel and never upgrade if they do go. The only difference I saw in the rooms were upper floor was supposed to be a better room. But, it was just the same as our friends' non-upgraded room.
Encore was very unprofessional about this smelly problem. -

My wife and I stayed at The Encore a couple days to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary.
Over all, what can I say? It was a truly amazing place. Our King Suite was fantastic, everything provided was outstanding, and the service from staff was first class. Honestly, the only real annoying thing about the place was the annoyance and excessive number of snobs everywhere. I am neither wealthy nor broke, but if I ever find myself with a sustained abundance of cash, I hope I NEVER start acting like "rich people."
I would definitely stay at The Encore again, but probably not with my kids. Again, as beautiful and elegant as the place is, it just seems a but overly hoity-toity for a family visit. Plus, with the "no strollers" sign visible at every entrance, I wouldn't want any snobs giving me a reason to backhand them for sneering at my kids.
I don't hold this against The Encore. Again, the staff there was amazing, friendly, and accommodating. The amenities were amazing. The buffet, quite honestly, puts any buffet I have ever been to to shame. Finally, The Encore is the home of the show called La Reve (I'll review that separately). You definitely get what you pay for. Other than the snobs, I guess I would say the only thing I felt a little lost on is the concept for the place... unless the concept is simply luxury. -

YOU NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE THIS HOTEL! The best restaurants, clubs, shops, pool party, and spa! are all in the Encore. I went here for my birthday and one thing I hate about Vegas is cab lines! Who the hell wants to wait 40 mins for a cab? Or even worse, who the hell wants to wait drunk! after you spent the entire night in killer heels! I rather spend those 40 mins sitting down eating in the hotel or just be able to walk back to my room. You never run out of options at the Encore and it's a beautiful hotel. The spa here is AMAZING! They have a waterfall shower area by the pool that is to die for! Oh and by the pool they have heated chairs to lay out on that will put you right to sleep! So relaxing!! I always like to check out all the hotels but this one has my heart right now so idk lol

It's quieter, less traffic than the Wynn, if that's what you prefer. It is definitely just as beautiful. All the rooms are suites, with a sitting area. One thing I loved was that your HDTV is adjustable to face your bed...or the sitting area, with just a swivel!
All the amenities are high quality, and the service to match, whether you want extra towels or room service. Which I have to say was the best room service breakfast I ever had. Ever. I paid a good amount, but completely worth it.
Nice restaurants, great nightclubs, overall one of the best places to stay in Vegas... -

I've stayed up and down the strip, and for me, the Encore is as good as it gets.
The casino is like walking into a fabulously wealthy Chinese grandmothers house. The decorations, if you consider them singularly, are gaudy and over the top, but taken together, they create a beautiful picture. The casino is less smoky than others and it's obvious time and care is taken with maintenance and cleaning.
I've never had a rude dealer and every Wynncore employee I've dealt with has been pleasant and professional. I'm not a high roller by any means (hello $15 blackjack table), but I'm always treated well here.
The casino does tend to be a bit quieter, but that's what I prefer.
In the hotel, the rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The housekeeping folks are always kind and considerate. -

Las Vegas! If i was forced to stay at a "motel" i'll still go to vegas! seriously? Come'N don't u agree? lol ok fine maybe motel is a bit too harsh (: you get the point people.
EnCore and its RED dragons and flying fish in the sky sure pulls your attention, their sky high level rooms and its beautiful full glass views will make you speech less. As in this is too much red, i mean if you are color blind this place would put you in a serious trouble. Stayed here for two nights and three days. Not with the wife though it was with few friends. We didn't really so much "enjoy" the stay as it was described in TV, and ads! lets just say i've had many other better experience before.
That being said, food, services and cigar selection downstairs is worth it. sadly it was winter so didn't enjoy the outdoor poor and cocktails. Not sure i do go back there again. Wait wait, if i was offered free promotion deals too good to be true I just might take it! hahah (:
Maybe this review seem "negative" due to the lose i had on their casino yea! pretty bad two nights. Who knows if I won that night I just might of been interested and had a bit more positive approach as an overall rating.
over all C+ aah-okay! -

If I had a choice, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Encore is always my first and only choice while visiting Vegas. Their customer service is quite stellar and the housekeeping beckons to your call with your every need.
They print your boarding pass for you and everything is taken care of. They also call you to make sure you received the item. Your room key is your player card as well.
The only thing they could improve on is upgrading their iHomes. They are out of date and kind of faulty.
Otherwise, everything is a one stop shop and in the summer, it is conveniently in the same building as Encore Beach Club. -

If you want a upscale hotel in Las Vegas that has a relaxing resort feel that just removed from the insanity down the strip, this is your best bet. Our room on the 61st floor featured a strip view and a view of the entire Las Vegas valley and the surrounding mountains. The bathroom is the highlight of the room, its huge. The beds are very comfortable, perfect for a good sleep after nonstop late night fun in Vegas.
The Encore casino never gets crazy crowded, but if you want more hype, the Wynn hotel casino just next door is definitely more happening. After walking along the strip one late evening, past all the craziness near Harrah's, Imperial Palace, etc, it was nice to return to the Encore's laid-back vibe. If you want a crazy party atmosphere you'll probably find this hotel/casino too quiet and laid back. -

This place is sick.
The decor is beautiful. This truly is a five star resort. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.
The room was amazing, from the lighting to the details of the room was perfect. We booked a panoramic king suite. It had floor to ceiling windows in the living room area to give an amazing view in the morning and at night.
The bathroom was huge and the travertine mosaics on the shower floor was exquisite.
The gym is clean and really busy. One thing i didnt mind was that there were 5 treadmills out of order so as a runner I was a bit annoyed. The gym and wifi access was included in the resort fee so that was nice to use the amenities that you are actually paying for during the stay.
Overall this hotel is amazing and we will be staying here again! -

Stayed her for a few nights beginning of the year in one of their suites. The hotel was very nice, clean, and simple. I usually stay at Aria, but thought I'd give Encore a try.
The rooms were super clean. The gaming in this hotel was not crowded. A bit empty and boring. But, when you walk over to the wynn, it's much more lively. Drink service was snail speed.
The bed was comfy and the amenities in the room were top notch. The only thing that was not working was the "night light" in the bathroom. no big deal. just wanted to see how it looked. haha.
The best part of staying here was the concierge service! If you have a flight to catch, they'll check you in & print out your boarding passes for you. no fee!
The coffee shop downstairs was convenient, but way over priced!
We spend most of the time next door at the wynn. just came back to encore to sleep.
Very comfortable and not crowded so I'll definitely stay here again! -

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas.
The rooms were spacious and very nicely decorated and we absolutely loved our view from the 38th floor. We were lucky with such a beautiful view. I saw on other reviews, that traffic from the Strip could still be heard from the 18th floor, but on the 38th, it was fine.
Technology within the room is nice. There is an console next to your bed that will open and close the shades and curtains on the windows. The TV swivels either towards the sofa area or towards the bed, which are on opposite sides of the suite. There is an additional small television in the bathroom.
Service was very prompt. When we arrived, I noticed that housekeeping had accidentally provided two shower gels and a conditioner, instead of one shower gel, one shampoo and a conditioner, so I called into the concierge about this. Within 5 minutes, someone dropped off an entirely new shower set with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, facial soap and shower soap at our hotel room.
For security reasons, in the evening, there is staff in front of the elevators checking to make sure that only hotel guests are heading upstairs to the hotel rooms. This was a nice plus for me, personally.
My favorite thing about the Encore was that it appeared to be more of a resort hotel than a casino hotel. Therefore, I feel like it is less smoky than other casino hotels. It makes it easier for me to try to spend time within the hotel if there is less of a smoky air than other places.
The casino areas within both the Encore and Wynn are smaller than at other hotels. If that is your reason for coming to Vegas, you may not want to stay at either the Encore or Wynn. Their amounts to buy-in for different games appear more expensive than other places. -

Have stayed up and down the strip for years and this place is definitely at the top of the list. I have had nothing but pleasant stays here....Steve Wynn has a handle on what makes a hotel run seamlessly. Yes, they do nickel and dime you, which is a Vegas standard, but here I don't mind as much as the experience is so nice. It's akin to being at a Disney property where the "Mouse" has his hand in your pocket all the time....but, you kinda like it. Maybe if they had a character....Steve the Magic Caterpillar?

I'm a big fan of the Encore in Vegas. Not only is it one of the most beautiful hotels but the casino is one of a kind. Most of the hotel rooms are very large with a comfortable seating area near the bedroom. The rooms are divided with an invisible divide created by the flat screen TV. The TV can be turned around so that you can watch TV in bed or face it in the other direction as well. The bathroom also has excellent amenities including a large shower and separate bathtub. There is also another flat screen TV in the bathroom too. Amazing!
Besides the room at the Encore, the variety of places to eat there are manifold. You will definitely find your favorite eatery there depending on your budget and tastes. My favorite is the Wazuzu Asian Restaurant. All of the walls are a bright red and the foods power matches the brightness of the walls. Finally, the casino at the Encore is one of the nicest I've found in Las Vegas. Best of all is that the air inside is so clean and there is no smell of smoke at all. All in all, the Wynn Resort Encore is the BEST. -

It is really hard for me not give the Encore five stars. The rooms are opulently appointed and there is a panel at your bedside to operate the curtains, lights and even the privacy option on your door. Very cool. The room is a compact suite and very well designed - but it is not large for a suite. The bathtub is a standard size soaking tub for one person. Again, nice but small. My main issue with the room is that despite the opulence, the walls were thin and I could hear my neighbor's t.v. Also, even though I was 21 floors up, I still heard the traffic on the strip late at night.
The staff at Encore is the best on the strip. This would also push me to five stars.
However, my issues with Encore are these: I sat down at a lobby bar and began playing video poker and was asked for my drink order. Anywhere else I have been in Vegas - including Caesars (at least on my last visit), you are comped while playing video poker at a bar. Not at the Encore. My absolute on the rocks - although plentiful and strong - was $15.00 w/ tip. Later in my trip, I went to Society Cafe for breakfast and the menu items were $18.00 and above. We're talking breakfast folks.
Onto the spa and fitness center. There is about a $15.00 fee to use the fitness center. I believe this price is reasonable and in-line with other Vegas properties if you're not paying a resort fee. However, beware that if you want to use the locker room or showers - that bumps up your visit to $55.00. This facility is very nice - but $55 to take a steam and shower is ridiculous.
So, obviously, who goes to the Wynn/Encore and complains about the prices? A valid point. However, regardless of the price you pay for your lodging in Las Vegas - we as customers should expect a decent value. High end properties should deliver high end value and so forth. My issue, is that I thought Wynn/Encore would be above the nickel and diming that takes place all over Vegas. It is not. That is why the property receives three stars, despite the great staff and nice room.Listed in: Vegas Hotels

ROOMS: I've stayed here before and the rooms are really nice. I had a nice view and it was clean. CLEAN. :D It's expensive - even with a "good" deal - it's expensive :P
SERVICE: Standard.
CASINO: Of course you're going to have people smoking but the games were standard. I don't gamble. I just make sure I don't go anywhere with cigarettes.
XS: I like the club because there is a pool area for the club and they do have seats for you in the game room portion with a bar that was not busy at all. The section that is across the pool. Awesome. The other section that you enter can get extremely full.
OVERALL: Nice place to stay. Pricey but you get what you paid for. -

This is it.
I'm-a Vegan in Vegas,.
I'm-a starvin' in Vegas...
UNTIL NOW!
Look. The place is beautiful... and smells nice, and is huge with a fabulous pool, they don't water down the drinks.. blah blah blah. VEGAN, I TELL YOU!
The Encore has more vegan options, (no I don't mean salads with fancy names...) They have pastas, burgers, milkshakes, chicken dishes, and everything you can possibly think of. You can eat vegan, and not even know it!
I've been around Vegas. I've done it repeatedly. This is by far the best.
Thank you Steve Wynn. I can stop eating nuts for 4 day stretches! -

The rooms are spacious and awesome-looking. I like the interior better here than at the Wynn (the theme at the Wynn is..butterflies? There are butterflies everywhere!)
But anyway! They have an AWESOME buffet downstairs (The Buffet), and it was not too smoky inside the casino (very good ventilation). It was super windy outside so the pool was chilly, but it was still relaxing to chill outside with some drinks from the cute servers. :) -

I refuse to stay anywhere else while I'm in Vegas, and, once I check in, will hardly leave since the hotel has all the stuffs that I need--fine dining, casual dining, a Sportsbook, tables, slots, cafes, a pool, an adult pool, several bars, XS (which is Tryst, but gaudier), great service, friendly patrons, and guest rooms with walls covered in floor to ceiling mirrors. It's one of my favorite places. Probably because I associate it with morning shots, fine food, and drunkenness.
The rooms are comfortable and spacious with a living area, a couple of flat screen TVs, floor to ceiling window, and a king sized bed. Restrooms have a tub, vanity, his and her sinks, and shower. The place is pristine. Customers of the Wynn and Encore can easily travel back and forth between the two. Also, the hotels are right across the street from the Fashion Show Mall and the Palazzo.
Notables: Well ventilated casino and hotel so that smoke and other irritants in the air are minimal. Wynn may have better ventilation. Older clientele who aren't as chaotic, obnoxiously loud, or disrespectful as those who sometimes roll in droves to the Venetian or New York New York. Though, on 3 separate visits here, younger men have approached me in the casino area to subtly ask me if I was a prostitute. -

The Encore is nice. It is a step above the Wynn, but allows for easy access to it so you can easily pass back and forth between the two hotels. The Tower Suites are nice and the view from the top floors is stunning. Room service is good and service is excellent.

Whats not to love? The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is amazing and I was treated like royalty for a week. The casino is not a busy as others which can be a welcome relief from the craziness of Vegas.
Some good things to know before you check in: they will want to authorize $150 per day you stay on your credit card for incidentals (its Vegas - no matter where you are they want to charge you for everything). XS, Surrender and various other bars and amazing restaurants are available to you within quick walking distance. I enjoyed the Society Cafe for breakfast and Switch restaurant for dinner. The pools are lovely and you have a quite a few options to chose from! The Fashion Show Mall is right across the street if Louis V, Channel, Hermes and Manolo are not on your agenda.
Quick tip - for great pizza, ambiance and a good deal, go to the Wynn down the long hallway past all the shops where you will find the Pizza Place - it even has outdoor seating next to a waterfall!
Will I be back - ABSOLUTELY! -

Usually stay at the Wynn but figured to change it up and try the Encore.Top notch all the way.The Wynn is better for gaming but the Encore does have some nice pools.Both properties are great. -1 star for overall value of food and drink.

I've been fortunate enough to stay at the Encore due to business a few times for a week + length. After staying here, I've definitely become spoiled when it comes to hotels.
My advice - DO stay here if you want impeccable service & to be treated like a Queen (or King). It's a nice departure from your typical Vegas scene. If you want to experience "Vegas" a la Jersey Shore style then this isn't for you.
I love their large rooms with a sitting area and spacious bath tub. I always make sure to bring a Lush bath bomb to enjoy.
All their restaurants are amazing, room service is no exception. When staying at Encore, there is no need to leave the hotel. It has everything you could ever imagine. -

AWESOME hotel!!! Came in through he week and were offered a suite at the Wynn so of course we took them up on the offer. The Encore Hotel is just beautiful! The front desk reception staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Can't review on the rooms because we moved to the Wynn.

Very nice. One of the newer hotels I've stayed at. The rooms compare to the Venetian with a more modern spin to it, so if you're into that you will appreciate. The building itself is 60 something stories so you can get a room way up there and feel like you're on top of the world. The negative is the prices of food and drink. Also, if you like to play slots or some electronic blackjack, don't expect to win anything! The odds are terrible and trust me this hotel doesn't stay as nice as it does by letting people win money.

Vegas hotels don't get any better than this!
My boyfriend signed up for the Wynn gaming card and they recently sent him two complimentary nights in a King suite at Wynn or Encore. We decided to go for Encore and since we usually pass on these deals because they are only good for Sun-Thurs stays, but because President's Day was coming up we decided to go on that weekend.
I seriously have never stayed in a more luxurious hotel than Encore. The decor, the smell, the cleaniness is more than I could ask for. Our suite was HUGE and we had the most amazing view of the strip. We could also see XS and Surrender from the 26th floor window of our room!
I think I'm seriously spoiled now and will probably never go back to pay money to stay at other cheapy hotels!
