Wynn reaches for next level | Encore seeks to outdo Strip rivals in luxury, service | lasvegassun.com
The 2,034-room resort, Encore, seeks to replicate the service in high-end boutique hotels, and has its eye on the coveted Mobil five-star rating. Room rates at the hotel will start at $180 a night, compared with $150 at the adjacent Wynn Las Vegas. But they’re likely to increase as soon as the economy begins to pick up. Comparable hotels in other cities can command room rates of $1,000 a night.
