Encore Las Vegas Hotel

By , About.com Guide

The most significant addition to the Las Vegas Strip in 2008, Encore Las Vegas is another towering hotel from casino impresario Steve Wynn. Imaginatively designed, it furthers the Wynn ethos of creating hotels that don't look like anywhere else. (Previous Wynn works include the AAA 5-Diamond award-winning Bellagio and the luxurious Wynn Las Vegas, connected to Encore by carpeted walkways.)

Both Encore and Wynn are opulent and contain more than 2,000 guest rooms. Their casinos are brighter than most, their restaurants are conceived by top chefs, and their shopping esplanades house some of the world's most prestigious brands.

Encore refines ideas that first appeared in Wynn Las Vegas and adds eye-popping ones of its own: Mosaic butterflies embedded in marble floors... fantastical lamps spun out of multi-colored Murano glass... glittering peacocks with plumes lit from within are among the visual delights that await visitors to this pleasure palace.
