I fully agree. Encore and poker room NUMBER 1 for sure

I think it's a bit unfair to judge Encore as a stand alone property. The reason I like staying there is because of the smaller casino and just an overall more relaxed vibe. Even on those busy nights when the lobby bar and piano bar are jumping its easy to avoid them if you just want to go to the room. I love the smaller casino and the fact that it is only a 5 minute walk to Wynn casino is amazing. I love bouncing between the two. A 10 minute walk and you're inside the Venetian shops and all of their amazing restaurants. Encore is great but you can't go there and expect to spend all of your time there. I look at it as more of a "boutique" hotel Las Vegas style. I will say that I have never stayed at the Wynn and that's just because I feel like the room and my overall experience couldn't be any better than it is at Encore.

Enjoyed your video. When my wife and I first toured the Encore, we were blown away by all the RED color; walls, chandeliers. I see it's still there; not sure if all the Chinese gamblers are still in attendance. What is troubling about Wynn and Encore is all of the boutique stores now on the property; not sure if the businesses get enough foot traffic to pay their bills. There are several long corridors of them.

I've stayed at Encore a few times in a few different room types (standard king, parlour suite and salon suite) and I like them but overall I prefer the remodeled/updatedd rooms over at Wynn. Two things I do like about Encore rooms are the houndstooth patterned wallpaper and the layout of the standard king rooms. I prefer Encore's check in area (both the regular check in and the tower suites check in), just more intimate and I love the red color. And the sculpture of Daphne turning into a tree in the lobby bar is kinda awesome. I think the dining at Wynn is far superior to Encore. Brunch at Jardin is great but for every other meal, I'm over at Wynn at Red 8, SW, Delilah or Wing Lei. Or in the Wynn Plaza Shops eating at Cipriani.

Absolutely, why Wynn is simply the best for us as well

I love them both and have stayed at each a handful of times, I could see both people's argument here on why they do or do not prefer Encore over the Wynn. To me the current room decor at the Encore feels kinda old especially now that sister property Wynn just rolled out brand new upgraded rooms, but the actual room layout is far superior at the Encore, the separated bed area and swivel TV, I really do like that but the all black couches are getting really old and dated fast, Wynn was light and bright before now going more dark brown and natural tones and Encore is jet black, very going out vibes vs home and comfy at the Wynn... and its also the original design and style for when the Encore was initially launched... Also all the action is def happening at the Wynn but it's much much more crowded too, Encore is a smaller footprint feel at the ground level and does not feel as large as Wynn when your walking around but it has a nice and quiet vibe, close enough to easily get to the Wynn and even better views too, all and all I love both and once the Encore rooms are eventually upgraded, it will be hard to beat those massive 700 foot plus setup, it offers so much room and I love the Encore Tower Suits strip views looking all the way down south of the strip, most of the time at the Wynn your just stating at TI or Fashion Show Mall with your view unless you opt for the golf course mountain views in the back which also is a great option, very relaxing views from the back side of Wynn.

The rooms are great but I hear ya about the color contrast going on between the updated Wynn and current/original Encore rooms. Has definitely brought up some interesting discussion in the comments about who wants the more quiet further walk location or the one with the action. Overall we would never have a problem staying at either property and will always take them up on an offer!

About a month ago, we went to Wynn to follow your recommendation to get a tier level transfer from Platinum at MGM to whatever the comparable tier level is at Wynn. The woman we dealt with at their player’s club desk was downright rude to us. She also informed us that they are no longer doing tier level matches. They did it in 2021, but did not do it last year and won’t be doing it this year. Not the greatest customer service experience, I must say! My husband and I were rather shocked, because we used to get great customer service when we were Wynn regulars about 10 years ago. Unfortunate. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We are going back to Vegas in Oct. We always stay at the Cosmo because we love the balcony. I checked prices for other places this year and was shocked that the Wynn was almost 60% more.

I loved the Wynn but I think the new room renovations are ugly af. Way too masculine and they just don’t have that luxurious whimsical Wynn vibe at all. We prefer the style of the rooms at Encore. The food at the Wynn properties used to be really good but it’s gone downhill a lot and the prices have skyrocketed. I don’t care to pay $50 for chicken parm when I could make a better one myself. If you’re going to charge those prices, fine but the food better be outstanding. They’re clearly cutting corners and they just don’t have the caliber of kitchen staff that they used to have. The room service seems like cafeteria food now. They don’t really have any delicious fast casual food spots anymore. There used to be a spot called Pizza Place that had really legit pizza by the slice but it’s been gone for years. We usually go eat at the Pallazo or other places.
