I spent some time at Encore on opening night.
CASINO: It's just like the Wynn, but with a slightly altered color scheme.
Too much red; I felt like I was walking around in a maraschino cherry.
The ceilings are too low making it seem claustrophobic.
RESTAURANTS: The Cirque-y moving-walls at Switch will underwhelm you every 25 minutes.
Didn't get in to Sinatra's cuz there was a private party.
Didn't get to Botero Steakhouse but it looks very appealing. Art helps with protein-digestion as far as I'm concerned.
There is no buffet: halleleujah!
XS was the one bright spot...a gorgeous venue! I predict this club will become the hottest destination in the club universe.
Until,of course, the next over-the-top, Rome-is-burning club opens.
Didn't see the rooms yet.
I heard the Spa is extraordinary.
The best thing about Encore is the same as the best thing about Wynn: the employees. They are the best-trained casino-workers anywhere. Frankly, it's worth going there just for them.
