But there’s so much to visually take in, you won’t mind the trek. No matter if you walk into Wynn or Encore, it’s a winding road through and around the casino floor, wherever you need to go.
Breathe in the lovely (quite possibly pumped in, but we don’t care) floral scent as you walk through the doors, and appreciate the lush red, gold, and green that accents the decor it’s like walking through one big manufactured, Wynn-branded garden.
And these htoels are among the swankiest on the Strip. It seems a shame to punish them for the founder's transgressions. (As of press time Wynn still denies any wrongdoing).So should one still stay here? We say yes, mostly for the efforts of the superb staff here. The allegations against him of sexual misconduct were so serious that he was forced to step down as CEO of his hotel company. He’s also the guy whose name is up on top of the hotel and, sadly, he was featured in one of the ugliest #MeToo scandals of 2018. And then he proved it, opening the Mirage and Bellagio and transforming Las Vegas into the high-service capital we know it as today. He’s the guy who invented the notion that Las Vegas could become a luxury destination for discerning guests. No long subway rides or cab rides to get to a great dinner or brunch location, but instead, a 5 to 20 minute walk and periodically, when I want to venture out a quick 10 or 15 minute drive with, relatively speaking (to Manhattan), no traffic.You can’t get away from Steve Wynn when you vacation in Las Vegas. It's why Vegas for me can actually be a RELAXING vacation though many people who are there for a couple of days wouldn't view Vegas as relaxing.ĮTA: And just like with concerts, it's the same thing with dining. So what does that mean? Longer trips so I can do more of everything and not feel rushed. I live in NYC so pre-Covid there were100 places to get world class entertainment every day but I loved in Vegas being able to see Celine Dion night 1 with an elevator ride down from my hotel room in Caesars or 20 minute walk from Wynn, some other artist on Day 2, potentially with an even shorter walk, etc.īut I DO enjoy gambling a lot and not feeling rushed. That was a nice feature that don't exist in the Encore spa though not as relevant for me as I spend 95% of my time in the water areas, in the the treatment room, or in the gender-specific lounge area snacking or lounging/relaxing.Ĭlick to expand.Agree 100% with this though I have always been a spa person but experiencing world class spas has only made me MORE of a spa person. Not 100% sure because no one was there as it was "closed" but you have to walk by it to get to your specific treatment room. Can't remember fully but I think that large circular area is a co-ed area so if you are a couple waiting for a treatment you could hang there with your SO. When the spas fully open and if I happen to be staying on the Wynn side rather than Encore, I'd just go very early or very late in the day when spas generally are less crowded.ĮTA: I am not 100% sure but I recall there being this dark, elegant, decadent (with all of the finishes, lounge chairs, etc.) and large lounge area once you entered the spa before going into different treatment rooms. For that reason alone I still much prefer the Encore spa but they are both fabulous. Encore's is appreciably bigger and you really see it in the water treatment areas. Much darker vibe but still quite elegant, but one thing the remodel couldn't do was to make the spa bigger. That's why I am a big believer of using the spa where you are staying, even as between Wynn and Encore.Ĭlick to expand.The remodel is wonderful. To answer you question, I prefer the Encore spa for its aesthetic and the size of the spa, which is larger than Wynn's but the most significant thing is that I was staying in Encore all of the time pre Covid and would go to and from the spa in my robe without having to go through the casino. Ironically, other than hanging out by the pool, this routine for me is the least expensive thing to do at Wynncore and Vegas generally and one of the most decadent.ĮTA. Over a period of days I would wind up packing, easily, a pound of that concoction to bring back to NYC. Hydrating with pineapple juice over ice, water, tea, and the amazing in house granola with lavender popcorn and other goodies in the spa was just wonderful. If I am up late, or doing an all nighter playing, after a quick breakfast and I have alternated sleeping (and I mean knocked out sleeping) on the heated stone benches and the steam room for sometimes 5 or 6 hours.
