New Encore Las Vegas, Nevada Hotel and Casino to Unveil



Vegas industrialist Steve Wynn certainly has a reason to be thrilled about this holiday time. With an estimated investment of nearly $2.3 billion, the spectacular hotel-casino called Encore will be open to the public this month.

This lavish casino and hotel is attached to the extremely popular Wynn Vegas on the LV Strip. As tons of Las Vegas, Nevada casino and hotel proprietors are doing their best to find a manner to keep their hotel-casinos afloat, Wynn is doing quite well with his billion dollar hotel-casinos.

The 2,000 room hotel-casino is an incredible creation. The main focus of this hotel-casino will be the nightclub, XS. Wynn has noticed in the recent past that nightclubs are hotspots in Las Vegas, Nevada, and not necessarily the hotels like they used to be. He states that Las Vegas nightclubs frequently generate more money and are a big magnet for the young pack.

Steve Wynn has also built a lavish restaurant near the XS nightclub. Inspired by the well-known Colombian painter, Fernando Botero this restaurant in the form of a circle has a gigantic Botero figure as the focal point. Not quite stunning as the nightclub which it is connected to; the Botero steakhouse is designed to harmonize pretty well with the loud Sin City nightclub.
The idea behind XS and Botero is a sort of St. Tropez atmosphere, where the party chugs along without a break and the main part of the party takes place near a swimming pool or beach. Times are a changin’ in Sin City, where many people would rather drinking and parties to gambling and casinos nowadays.
