Sister resort casinos Wynn and Encore are two of the most luxurious places in Las Vegas, offering various high-end experiences from dining to entertainment that you won’t get anywhere else. It’s also worth knowing that the Wynn and Encore casinos ow run at 100% capacity with no plexiglass dividers, making them the first Las Vegas Strip casinos to do so. Wynn and Encore reopening means guests can once again experience everything that makes these resorts worthy of a stay. And below are things you should add to your itinerary on your next visit:

The Lake of Dreams was in development for two years, during which the custom-built outdoor environmental theater saw upgrades worth $14 million. Since its reopening last year, the Wynn was the first casino resort to bring back big entertainment on The Strip since 2020. While the shows only run for three to five minutes, they offer an immersive theatrical journey that uses magic, lights, and animatronics, among other elements. Each of the acts in the show come to life by technology such as 4K video projectors, elaborate laser mapping, and thousands of LED lights. Lake of Dreams’ shows are free and run every half hour from 7pm until midnight.

Wynn houses a picture-perfect conservatory of plants you wouldn’t expect to see in the middle of a desert. From afar, the carousel and hot air balloon structures look real — but a closer view reveals that these are actually made from thousands of flowers. The Conservatory also has a canopy of trees and hanging flower balls. What makes these gardens more amazing is that a maintenance team replaces thousands of seasonal flowering plants every three weeks to create a dynamic environment. There are also waterfalls, a stream, and a small lake outside to cushion the noise from The Strip.

Las Vegas is big and bold, and some visitors may find all the excitement overwhelming and tiring. Encore’s The Spa offers a tranquil escape from the outside world. Here, you can experience unique treatments such as the Moroccan Mud Wrap and Shirodhara renewal. The Spa’s signature treatment is called The Good Luck Ritual, which uses Chinese elements to bring you happiness and prosperity. The facilities are top-notch as well, which include large jacuzzis and plunge pools. They also have a relaxation area that drowns out any outside noise with thick floor-to-ceiling curtains.

Sinatra is Encore’s signature restaurant that offers a great Italian dining experience, but also offers enough choices for all appetites. Among the favorite dishes is the cioppino, an Italian fish stew with lobster, clams, scallops, and shrimp. For dessert, try the ricotta and chocolate lollipops. Having a table indoors will give you views of fancy chandeliers and classic cream-colored walls with framed photos of Frank Sinatra, of course. Meanwhile, the outdoor tables offer a garden with low well-tended bushes with red flowers alongside a fireplace.
Wynn and Encore offer unforgettable experiences for everything, from entertainment with the Lake of Dreams to a high class food with Sinatra. When your stay at Las Vegas is over, consider building another itinerary for other places, such as famous destinations in Los Angeles.
