I don't think it's going to make all that much difference, but I would guess catching a taxi at Encore would be faster since they can take the secret tunnel to Desert Inn, which goes to Paradise with no lights.

Quickest would be the tower suite entrance where they can make a left onto Sands blvd (Spring Mountain) and then onto Paradise. However, not many taxi's by the tower suite entrance. You're looking at saving 5-10 minutes vs the normal Wynn entrance.

Either way, the actual taxi travel time from south entrance isn't going to save 5-10 mins compared to main gate - the whole trip from main gate to McCarran (assuming the taxi driver is instructed to go down Paradise) should only take around 10 minutes.

Thanks. I guess the more important question is what route is best? Sounds like Paradise...

Yes, directly to Paradise and straight down to the airport is best (make sure to tell the cab driver that route when you get in the cab). There are a lot of routes that will take basically the same amount of time, but the distance is longer so you'll just wind up paying more.

Update. We walked out the south entrance at noon, jumped in a waiting cab and were at the airport in 10 minutes.
One caveat: There were only 2 cabs in the rank. I was told by the concierge that there should be plenty...
