Encore Las Vegas
(From Wikipedia)
Encore Las Vegas or Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (often just called Encore) is a resort, casino hotel located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The resort is connected to its sister resort, Wynn Las Vegas (reflection can be seen on the side of Encore); both are owned by Wynn Resorts Limited, headed by noted casino developer Steve Wynn.
The resort features a 74,000 sq ft (6,900 m2) casino, 27,000 sq ft (2,500 m2) of retail space in "The Esplanade", a spa and salon, five restaurants, seven bars, as well a nightclub. The building is 631 ft (192 m) in height, and has 63 floors, making it three floors higher than Wynn Las Vegas, though the building is not actually 63 floors as floors 13, as well as 40 through 49, were left out: 13 has traditionally been an unlucky number in various Western cultures, and various East Asian cultures are superstitious about the number 4 because it is a homonym for "death" in their languages. |
