I know we've had a thread up about Encore vs. Wynn, but I am wondering specifically about the pool. I am booked to stay at a Tower Suite at Encore and have been told I could use either pool. I usually book a cabana while I am out there, so I have a few questions for you guys that have been out there already.
1. I've heard the Encore pool is smaller than Wynn--not taking cabanas into account, which pool would you rather use?
2. Are there any differences in cabanas between the two hotels? I'd be willing to use the Encore pool even if it isn't as good as the Wynn if the cabana is better.
3. I've heard that people staying in Tower Suites at Wynn get access to a private pool but that isn't given at Encore. Can Encore Tower Suites residents use the Tower Suites pool at Wynn? Is this an important thing to consider--how good is this private pool? Are there different cabanas on it?
I believe all the cabanas are around the main Wynn pool. There are no cabana on the Tower pool level (its one level above the main Wynn pool with a bridge that crosses over the main Wynn pool).
second-floor cabanas feature balconies overlooking the pools.
VIP Tower Suite guests also have access to separate private Cabanas.
VIP Tower Suite Cabanas offer the same amenities along with a few more perks:
* Flat Screen TV
* Air Conditioning
* WiFi
* Mini-Bar
* Food Service From Tableau
1. I like Encore's more. While it is smaller, there's ample seating. Lots of lounge chairs, literally in the water and even day beds to use without having to pay extra or make reservations. The European pool at Encore was dead despite the great weather--makes me think that a lot of people don't even know it exists.
2. Encore's cabanas are much better. Larger and darker shades. Request one on the second floor overlooking the Euro pool.
3. Yes, Encore TS guests have access to Wynn TS pools. Those pools are small dipping pools more for lounging around than actually swimming in. The cabanas there have the small balconies, but are otherwise similar to the rest.
I have a reservation at Encore in few weeks. I normally like to play BJ at the outdoor tables at the Wynn. I was wondering how Encore's gaming area by the pool compares?

Encore has a nice gaming area near the European pool. Very nice.
I'm staying specifically at Wynn instead of Encore for my summer visit because of the pool. Tower Suites pool is nice and more private. We do the cabana thing. Even though Encore guests have use of the Wynn pool, location of the Wynn Tower Suites to the Tower Suites pool can't be beat.
Correction: Wynn Tower Suite pools DO have cabanas... Just clearing that up. They have some pretty nice corner units with up to two separate balconies.
If it were up to me, I'd take Encore's pool scene over Wynn's. Newer cabanas with better design. If you're really into BEING in the water, it's Wynn all the way.

Does anyone know if this is still true? If so, is it just first come/first serve? Also, I was there about six weeks ago on a Saturday and it was packed. Are weekdays more open?

When I was there a few weeks ago the beds had signs about how to reserve them. I would be amazed if any hotel in Vegas would have first come first served for that type amenity, and let people use them for free, that is not the Vegas way.
but that takes the rooms : pool up a lot.
