Wynn Las Vegas has two towers, and they are not the same hotel. The Wynn tower is the original: grand, polished, and built around the casino floor. The Encore tower, next door, is newer, quieter, and slightly more modern. Both are five-star, both are expensive, and both attract VIP players — but they attract different kinds of VIP players, and the difference matters if you are choosing where to stay.

This guide compares the Wynn Tower Suites and Encore as a VIP stay: the rooms, the casino access, the service, and which one fits which kind of player.

The Wynn Tower Suites are the classic Wynn experience. The rooms are large, warm, and richly furnished, with floor-to-ceiling windows, deep soaking tubs, and a colour palette that has barely changed since the resort opened — because it never needed to. The suites on the higher floors offer views across the Strip and the golf course, and the Tower Suites have their own private entrance, check-in, and pool area, which keeps the experience separate from the main hotel.

For a VIP player, the Tower Suites' greatest advantage is location. You are steps from the main casino floor, the high-limit rooms, and the private salons. The walk from your room to your table is measured in seconds, not minutes, which matters more than it sounds at three in the morning. The Tower Suites also put you closer to the resort's fine dining, including the restaurants that VIP hosts use for their best clients.

Encore's rooms are brighter, more modern, and slightly larger on average than the Wynn tower's. The design is cleaner — more glass, more light, less ornament — and the suites feel more like a contemporary luxury apartment than a classic casino hotel room. Encore also has its own tower suites with a private entrance and a separate pool, and the resort's beach club and nightclub give it a younger, more energetic feel.

For a VIP player, Encore's advantage is calm. The casino floor is smaller and quieter than Wynn's, the high-limit area is more intimate, and the resort feels less crowded even on a busy weekend. If you want to play seriously without the noise of the main floor, Encore is the better base. The trade-off is distance: the walk to Wynn's private salons is longer, and the resort's dining is more casual than Wynn's fine dining rooms.

Both towers share the same loyalty program and the same host team, so your tier status and your comps work identically in either building. The difference is in the rooms themselves. Wynn's high-limit area is larger and busier, with more tables and higher limits, and it attracts the bigger games. Encore's high-limit area is smaller, quieter, and more private, which suits players who prefer a slower game with fewer onlookers.

The hosts work across both towers, so a host who knows you will arrange the room you want regardless of which building you choose. What changes is the experience around the play: Wynn's tower puts you in the middle of the action, Encore puts you slightly apart from it. Neither is better in the abstract — the right choice depends on how you like to play.

The service in both towers is excellent, but the style differs. Wynn's service is formal and polished, with a concierge team that has been handling VIP players for nearly two decades. Encore's service is warmer and more relaxed, with staff who remember your preferences quickly and a front desk that moves fast. Both towers offer private check-in, luggage service, and a dedicated team for suite guests.

Dining is where Wynn pulls ahead for most VIP players. The tower's restaurants include some of the Strip's best fine dining, and a host can book a private room with almost no notice. Encore's dining is good but more casual, with a stronger focus on the beach club and the nightlife scene. If your trip is built around long dinners and late tables, Wynn is the better fit. If your trip is built around the pool, the club, and a quieter casino, Encore wins.

Choose the Wynn Tower Suites if you want to be at the centre of the action: the biggest high-limit rooms, the finest dining, and the shortest walk to your table. Choose Encore if you want a quieter, more modern stay with a smaller casino, a better pool scene, and a more relaxed pace. And if you cannot decide, ask your host — they know both towers intimately, and they will tell you honestly which one fits your trip.

Either way, you are staying in one of the best VIP hotels in Las Vegas. The choice is not between good and bad; it is between two different kinds of excellent, and the right answer is the one that matches how you actually spend your time.
