The entrance to Encore is across Las Vegas Blvd from the new Resorts World. It is north of the Venetian, east of Fashion Show Mall, and southwest of the Convention Center. Wynn/Encore is located on the north end of the strip. The rooms at Encore are a bit larger than at Wynn, with the base room being over 700 square feet and are designed as junior suites with a divider between the bed and seating areas. Encore is farther north along the strip than Wynn but from the ground floor you don’t realize it is two properties - it just flows in to one massive resort. Each hotel tower looks nearly identical from the outside. The Wynn and Encore are two hotels within the same property - think Venetian/Palazzo as the closest parallel.
It had been a number of years since I had stayed at either the Wynn or Encore and I was excited to try out the property again.
I was able to book a free weekend at the Encore through a double status match.
