View from Tower Suite

Truth be told, the view from this tower suite at Encore Las Vegas is vast yet uninspiring. But this is Vegas, and like everything else here, subject to change.

Further north on the Strip than Wynn Las Vegas, the location of Encore Las Vegas is slightly less desirable. Not only did it face a vacant lot at opening, but it's a longer walk to reach the Fashion Show Mall across the street on the Las Vegas Strip. And it will cost a few dollars more to taxi to other hotel-casinos such as Caesars Palace and Bellagio as well as McCarran airport.
