Encore vs. Wynn pool

[BenjaminNicholas]

Having just returned from my 15th trip to Wynn/Encore this year alone, it was a madhouse for the 4th. ... Never again.

Pools: If you're staying in a tower suite at Wynn, you have access to either pool, not just the upper-deck of Wynn's pool. While Wynn remained at capacity for most of this past weekend, it seemed as if Encore was somehow empty. Pool loungers open everyday. Cabanas freely available. Impeccable service from the staff.

Unfortunately, Wynn's pool service was SLAMMED. They didn't handle it well and put far too few people on the floor to handle the cramped holiday traffic. This trip was my first real disappointment with the property, even if much of the problems came with the rowdy, shirtless, crass guests who seemed to lurk around every corner.

Unfortunately low airfares + low room rates + cutbacks in staff = what you experienced.

That's what I heard from a couple of locals that I see fairly frequently.

I just spoke with a cabana host at Encore.

On weekdays, cabanas are $300, as are the daybeds in the water. The round daybeds outside of the water at the European pool are $200.
