Encore

How does a showman like Steve Wynn follow Wynn Las Vegas, his Mobil Five Star, AAA Five-Diamond Award–winning resort? With an Encore, of course.

In December 2008, Wynn drew back the curtain on his latest luxury Las Vegas creation. Encore, the 2,034-suite hotel, comes complete with five celebrity-chef restaurants, 11 designer boutiques, the sizzling nightspot XS, a European-inspired spa and salon, and access to the Tom Fazio–designed golf course at Wynn. Innovations range from private gaming salons in the Sky Casino—complete with private dining rooms—to poolside gaming and floods of natural light throughout the building. Wynn even commissioned special nonreflective glass to make the poolside social scene visible day and night from the main casino.

Despite the wealth of leisure incentives, corporate events top the bill at Encore. A spectacular pillarless ballroom highlights 60,000 square feet of meeting space, and the 17 rooms complement more than 200,000 square feet of venues at Wynn next door. Every meeting space at Encore provides floor-to-ceiling windows and a terrace overlooking the exquisitely landscaped pools and garden. Seasoned convention service experts, a meetings concierge, and catering managers attend to everything from preplanning requirements to last-minute needs.
Steve Wynn set a lofty standard for meetings on The Strip when he opened Wynn Las Vegas in 2005. After the rousing success of his opening debut, planners can expect “bravos” for meetings at his Encore as well.

Schoeneggers relationships with California farmers allow him to bring the areas fresh, seasonal and greenmarket ingredients to his restaurant at Encore.

At Encore, he opens Wazuzu, a modern Asian bistro, named after a Chinese word that means Nine Dragons.
