Stunning New Encore Las Vegas Hotel and Nightclub to Open Soon



Vegas hotel tycoon Steve Wynn unquestionably has something to be eager about this holiday season. With an investment of about $2.3 billion, the spectacular casino-hotel called Encore will open this week.

This deluxe casino and hotel is connected to the tremendously trendy Wynn Vegas on the Las Vegas, Nevada Strip. Whereas many Vegas casino-hotel owners are trying to come across a manner to keep their hotel-casinos afloat, Wynn is doing pretty well with his $billion investments.

This 2000 room hotel and casino is another incredible creation by Wynn. The centerpiece of this hotel and casino will be the nightclub, named XS. Wynn has seen in the last few years that nightclubs are the biggest draw in LV, and not predominantly the casinos as they were years ago. Steve states that Sin City nightclubs for the most part produce more money and are a huge magnet for the young and hip set.

Steve Wynn has also constructed a luxurious eatery connected to the XS nightclub. Named after the well-known Colombian painter, Fernando Botero this circular steakhouse has a massive Botero carving as the main focus point. Although not dramatic as the nightclub which it is connected to; the Botero steakhouse is planned to harmonize pretty well with the flashy LV nightclub.
The design pertaining to XS and Botero is a kind of St. Tropez vibe, where the bash carries on without a break and most of the partying goes down near a swimming pool or ocean area. Times have definitely changed in Sin City, where folks prefer drinking and parties to slot machines right now.
