It is my impression that they "dumbed down" the restaurants at Encore since the hotel wound up opening in the most vicious part of the downturn and Wynn already had empty seats at many of his higher end restaurants next door.
Sinatra is a bit of a joke, a red sauce Italian joint with high prices (good service, however.) I really didn't want to like Switch, as the moving walls seem so gimmicky, but it is actually a pretty good choice at its price point. They have an excellent foie gras dish and a great young sommelier who used to work for Charlie Trotter. I have not been in Botero.
Under the same roof, I would do Alex or Daniel Boulud brasserie over anything at Encore, but I will have to try Botero at some point and I will hope for the best.
