The Encore is my favorite hotel; the first time I ever went was for Valentine’s Day right after a break up (he was supposed to go with me, but that didn’t happen, obviously) and it’s been a staple ever since! I just booked 10 days for my birthday. That’s a long time for Vegas, I know, but I plan to eat, drink and relax to the max! I can’t wait - I’ve missed it!
Another great video. Your enthusiasm for this property is inspirational and I've never even been there. By far the best channel dealing with Vegas hotels and as always I look forward to the next.
I walked into the Wynn for the first time a few days ago, and my jaw just dropped. Some hotels give me a “meh” kind of vibe, but this is just otherworldly. It was also the first time I’d ever ventured up to the north end of the strip, and it is indeed better than the south end, where I usually stay. One day, I will stay at Wynn/Encore, but I was just happy I got to see it up close. I can see why it’s considered the best in Vegas.
Completely agree with you! Encore my go to Vegas hotel always (pre covid when Canadians could travel to Vegas without issue!) Also agree that this is the absolute best part of the strip. Beautiful, safe and so much to do. Thanks for your review! Reminded me of many great stays at the Encore and the Wynn.
Great video once again! Encore is epic. Even the carpet is soft on the casino floor lol. Sinatra has to be my favorite restaurant on the property. Will be at the elara Thursday to Sunday. Can't wait. Keep up the amazing work.
Loved your take on Encore James, I was reminiscing, it just took me back to when I visited.. Great video, hope you're going to be doing more videos in Vegas again this summer..
Love staying at the Encore. I’ve stayed there several times especially when my nights are comped!! Love your videos and yes the Encore/Wynn are my favorites!!
That Rave intro music was killer . Loved it . Those cocktails looked delish …who doesn’t love a Bellini ? Definitely an incredible property . They should offer you the job as their brand ambassador lol. Great video Mr James . Encore is on my to stay list . 😎😎😎
That Song did have a 90's classic race style, eh? I actually found it categorized under hip hop 🤷🏻♂️ I'm not keen on going back to work, but an ambassador job for Wynn:encore would be highly considered. 😎 Hope you're well bro!
Just watched this again James! Excellent video as going for first time this Friday for 3 nights! Super excited just as the warm weather returns!!! Summer of love drink looks like a must!!!
I enjoy your vlogs sooo much! Gives me the opportunity to see how the upper class vacations! I've had the opportunity to stay at Encore, Wynn, Bellagio & Ceasars, but not to dine at the venues you have. But then, if I had to pay $500 for a meal I wouldn't expect to have to cook it myself - not even if they were there to feed me!🤣 It's still interesting to see. So thanks, and keep having fun for all of us!
Hi! I know this video is two years old now but I just wanted to explain something for you - ‘Prefecture’ isn’t the name of a place where Kobe beef comes from, there are 47 prefectures in Japan, a little bit like states in America. Kobe beef is beef from Kobe, the capital city of Hyogo prefecture. Love your videos, I’m planning a trip to Vegas soon and they’ve been so useful in helping me plan where to stay and dine. Thank you!
I appreciate your research and input. Me and my wife is visiting Las Vegas for the first time next month and we’re taking your recommendations. Thanks bro!
Love your focus on the overlooked ceilings! I think I might like the exotic seafood more than you! Smooth, getting the shots of the adult pool! Another great video.
You speak my language! My all time favorite on the strip. Next time, check out the Tower Suites. It will elevate your experience to yet another luxurious level!
Was in Vegas for the 1st time in early January for a weekend. Stayed at Encore. Our room was so amazing with the tech features and luxury everywhere. I researched and learned the man behind the hotel and The Mirage as well is Steve Wynn. He built Wynn and Encore around 2007/08 with such high quality materials that the hotel still looks new and up-to-date. I didn’t eat there, but next visit will try Cirpriani. I love Italian. I also want to go to parasol down for drinks and to watch the lakeside dream show. I’m looking at Cosmopolitan or Mirage for my 2nd visit at the end of May/ early June. I’m staying longer and mid week to get a better room rate. Your reviews are great and really help a picky wicket like me get into the right hotel! 🤓
GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WOW! WYNN/ ENCORE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND BEYOND BREATHTAKING! 🙏
Amazing property and great video! I'm heading to Vegas in December and have been watching all your videos to get the best insight available. Thanks and keep it up!
when I go to Vegas it is all about exploring, you will always find something special that suits you :)..I think I like Paris as a base since the location is perfect .and was my first base ever :) and the rooms can be nice over there as well :)
Paris is really really nice...gambled for a half hour at paris while I was staying at Flamingo... mandalay bay the next day.. I barely even left mandalay bay it had everything I needed in it...left to look at the raiders stadium for a few minutes
I get frustrated at Wynn rooms sometimes and it amazed me how it was considered a five star hotel once you entered the elevator. Encore is on another level and barely comes close. It's easy to give this one the 5 star rating.
Great video! I love watching your videos, you always seem to have so much fun. Plus, I travel by myself quite a bit and it's nice to see videos from the perspective of another solo traveler. I was in Vegas at the end of July and stayed at the Encore for the first time (I've stayed at Wynn before). I loved it. I had a parlor suite and it was great, so much room. I think my entire apartment would fit in the bathroom. Unfortunately, Costa di Mare closed down shortly before my trip. I was really looking forward to eating there. I did go to Mizumi and thought it was fantastic. Loved the view of the lake and waterfall. Also went to Wing Lei, and that was amazing. I am going back to Vegas for a couple days in November but this time I'm staying over at Wynn in a salon suite. I'm hoping to get in to Delilah for dinner and want to check out Cipriani, too.
@@Coolist Delilah does have a no photos/vidoes policy. I'm not sure how strictly they enforce it because when I was there the couple sitting next to me at the bar took a lot of pictures of the stage and dancers (maybe they knew someone?). Regardless, Delilah is fantastic and if you can get a reservation, it's totally worth it. Everything about Delilah is fantastic. The parlor suite at Encore was so amazing, worth every penny. My only regret was the I didn't take advantage of the en suite massage room.
You would've gotten a real kick out of having Alexa control the lights, open / close the curtains & control the temperature in the room... THAT IS MY ONLY SUITE I GO TO ON THE STRIP!!! ❤
Thanks for this video, I always thought Encore was sort of an afterthought when they built it but I can see by your video I'm way off base. Sounds like you would stay at Encore over Wynn and Palazzo over Venetian? Happy Labor Day!
What a fantastic video again james. Every video you make gets better. Fantastic insight of the hotel and I’m sure when I’m next in Vegas I’ll be definitely visiting the encore. Keep them coming, tremendous work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm going there for the first time March 29-April 1. To say I'm ecstatic would be the understatement of the millennium because Wynn stole my heart when I stayed there in October and I truly didn't think it could get any better than that. Thanks sooooooooooooo much as always for your awesome content! =D
I've been there for a daytime visit. Gambling and eating. Had a great time. Food was fantastic. Won at gambling. That always makes your day. But never stayed over night there. I'll have to do a more intense visit next time, for sure. And I'll try Cipriani's. I'm glad you had a awesome visit there. 😍😎xoxo
Great filming, I will eat at Ciprini , & someday stay in Encore. I like your jackets& the blue shirt at end, not huge fan of the white undershirt ones. Keep sharing w us your trips.
I started watching your vids about two weeks ago. I think I've seen them all since. I really like the cost breakdown diaries. I'd be interested in your back story. Money is obviously not a factor. Which makes your vlogs so fun to watch. I'm in the media biz. I mentioned this before. You use too many pans in your shoots. Pans are fine but they have to be slow. Otherwise a viewer literally gets motion sickness. But it hasn't stopped me from watching. Overall, you do a great job. We will be in Vegas from 9/27 to 10/4 for our son's wedding. I'll keep an eye out for you in case you're in town.
I'm in Vegas now staying at the Wynn for the first time. I like it alot but I'm looking forward to coming back and staying at the Encore Suites next time
Stayed at the Wynn in Nov of 21' then at Encore in Feb 22' as well as July of 22'. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in my opinion of Encore lol because I for sure came to the conclusion that there can't be a hotel better than this but thought I was just being biased.
I visited Vegas in August on a solo trip and desperately tried to book a room at either Wynn or Encore, but the comped rooms were unavailable during the dates I had planned. I did go to the Wynn Spa and SW Steakhouse though! There was such a luxurious feeling throughout all of it and I have no doubt that the rooms would be incredible to experience as well. Great video!
@@Coolist, I thought it was pretty good! I felt like a weirdo being alone there, but the staff was amazing. I had the shrimp cocktail, filet, potatoes, asparagus, and the rocky road dessert. I liked it, but I always compare everything to Manny's Steakhouse, which hasn't been beat.
Yo james being a las vegas vet you probably do this already, but you should sign up for the hotel rewards and get credit for your spend. They'll offer you comped or discounted rooms for your future stays
Oh man, you are still in Vegas? I think Costa di Mare was easily the best Italian restaurant in Vegas when Bartolotta was running it - he also ran Spiaggia in Chicago. Sadly we lost two of the best Italian chefs, him and Mario Batali. Looks like you are having great fun. Enjoy your infinity trip!
INSANE Videos!!! The quality of your Videos are top notch!! There is a vegas guy on u tube named pompsie and I thought he was the best vegas content maker but u have officially taken the spot!!! I would love more vegas content from u!! All your Videos are top notch but I love the vegas Videos .. keep up the good work
Thanks. We usually do SW, Lakeside, and Sinatra for our dinners. I love lunch and dinner at Wazuzu. Their Yellowtail sushi is fantastic. The drunken noodles also some of the best. Last trip in August we tried Wing Lei. The table side duck was very tasty. Most of the apps were very nicely done. Even the pot stickers came each in their own basket. Very cool image1.jpeg
I watch your videos in AWE. I'm in Puerto Vallarta, MX for 5 years now....the prices you pay for things in Vegas are Crazy! A 5 Star dinner here is a fraction of what you pay for a day at a pool there. But you are the Pro with your videos for Vegas afficianados.!
The Encore/Winn iarw my favorite hotels in Vegas but unfortunately I’ve on stayed at Winn and so watching your video makes want to stay there on my next trip to Vega$
Just a little correction to your comment about Wing Lei. Wing Lei was not the only restaurant in Las Vegas with Michelin Stars. Joel Robuchon at MGM had 3 stars before they stopped doing inspections a few years ago.
At one time it was the only Vegas restaurant with a Michelin rating, as Joel Roubechon lost theirs whilst Wing Lei attained it. I didn't say wing lei was the only Michelin rated restaurant in Vegas, I Said at one time is was the only one that was rated in the city, which is 100 factual.
Nice video, I''ll be there the end of September......What days of the week were you there, it looked a little dead...... was it crowded? Did the adult pool get crowded? Thanks man!
@@Coolist small bar but they do have a bar nonetheless and I’ve eaten there solo numerous times. The bar had 8 seats pre COVID times. Highly recommend Frank’s Spaghetti and Clams
That was my problem with the Wynn, the security is somewhat aggressive. Maybe it’s necessary, but it can also be frightening. ‘Swarming’ you when one guard would do is overkill. While staying I felt a bit intimidated by them.
@@Coolist Mizumi it is then! Been so hooked on your channel, so thank you for all that you do for us! Your luxury hotel series has def helped out for my Miami trip too!
i think long island ice teas taste like they have no booze in them. my husband and i and our friends all drank them at a new years eve party. myself and our friends wife both got pregnant that night and both delivered girls on oct 2nd lol! exactly 9 months later lol!! we always say there something in those drinks.
The cheapest rate I could find for Encore was $700 a night. You can get a room at the Palazzo for $150 to $250 mid week. Is Encore really three or four times better than Palazzo? I really doubt it. I think it’s the name and the prestige and the image that you’re paying for. But I guess I am never going to find out, because I am not going to spend that much money for a room night in Vegas. Having said all that, it’s a very fun review and I appreciate your reviewing it so us common folks can see how the rich live! While I won’t ever stay there, places like this make Vegas cool!
I would love to see you do a head to head video of Wynn vs Encore Tower Suites and their amenities. Parlor to Parlor suites for example. But then it might have to wait until next year because the Wynn is getting a make over that should be completed by Christmas, I think. A completely new palette. I believe there's a mock-up in the Wynn store where you can buy everything from the sheets, robes, pillows and even the bed! We've never stayed in a King room. We were talked into upgrading on our first stay. We've tried the Executive, Parlor and Salon Suites at Wynn Tower. We walk over to Encore to dine at Sinatra's and Wazuzu. We've been comped a room at Encore next month. The same kind that you showcased in this video. I've already submitted to upgrade to Wynn Tower Parlor. We may reconsider since it has a separate living space. However, we really like having a powder room. We have reservations for Mizumi. In all the times we been, we just haven't made it over there. We're always on the hunt for a vegan experience that includes a great ambiance. It's time to check it out. Thanks for all your efforts. We really enjoy your videos. They're smart, elegant and lavish. That's the way we like to Vegas. We can eat steamed broccoli and baked tofu at home.
Am I mistaken or is that the remnants of a stain I see on the black sofa in the living room? I AM a fan of Encore and Wynn but I've noticed in just about all Vegas hotels that it's common to find the furniture often leaves traces of previous guests.
@@Coolist gotcha, thanks for clarifying! I DID have a similar looking type stain on the sofa when I stayed at The Palazzo. I called housekeeping and they ended up removing it and giving me a new replacement. On a side note, I think it's true that the rooms at Encore are the most comfortable and elegant on the strip BUT I still prefer The Palazzo because I think the vibe is more interesting and the options for shopping and dining much greater. The Venetian is, to my mind and as you mentioned in another video, busier and has a less exclusive feel than The Palazzo. Overall the rooms are very comfortable even though the amenities aren't good in the room. But it's comfy with the 2 televisions and great views and so on. I also prefer the more central location - Encore is just a bit far from other places that I like. So yes, while I think Encore rooms are the best, I prefer The Palazzo as an overall choice. Thanks for your great posts, they're very informative!
He’s telling the truth. Stayed at Encore several times. It is truly amazing.
You must be rich 😂
The Encore is my favorite hotel; the first time I ever went was for Valentine’s Day right after a break up (he was supposed to go with me, but that didn’t happen, obviously) and it’s been a staple ever since!

Thank you Double B. 🤝
Amen 🙏
I walked into the Wynn for the first time a few days ago, and my jaw just dropped. Some hotels give me a “meh” kind of vibe, but this is just otherworldly. It was also the first time I’d ever ventured up to the north end of the strip, and it is indeed better than the south end, where I usually stay. One day, I will stay at Wynn/Encore, but I was just happy I got to see it up close. I can see why it’s considered the best in Vegas.
Just stayed at Encore with my wife. Completely agree with your thoughts on the property. Encore is one of the best in the entire world. Unreal.
Completely agree with you! Encore my go to Vegas hotel always (pre covid when Canadians could travel to Vegas without issue!) Also agree that this is the absolute best part of the strip. Beautiful, safe and so much to do. Thanks for your review! Reminded me of many great stays at the Encore and the Wynn.
Great video once again! Encore is epic. Even the carpet is soft on the casino floor lol. Sinatra has to be my favorite restaurant on the property. Will be at the elara Thursday to Sunday. Can't wait. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks JP. Sinatra vs Carbone ? 🤔
great review! I agree with you, I always get sooo excited to come back to Encore. Literally the best hotel on the strip
The best!
The de facto RUclipsr to follow for class, elegance and upscale tastes. Dude needs a travel channel show.
Thanks bro. This video was a ton of fun!
Another great video. Just returned frim the Encore. One of my favorite meals was at Wazuzu at the Encore. Lookimg forward to your next video!
I do wish wazuza had a bar.
Cannot agree more. Always stay at the Encore, Wing Lei is fantastic, also Sinatra.
thanks for the footage from the European pool
Loved your take on Encore James, I was reminiscing, it just took me back to when I visited.. Great video, hope you're going to be doing more videos in Vegas again this summer..
Bravo my friend. Your reviews of these luxurious properties are so descriptive that you saved me a trip there !
Love staying at the Encore. I’ve stayed there several times especially when my nights are comped!! Love your videos and yes the Encore/Wynn are my favorites!!
That Rave intro music was killer . Loved it . Those cocktails looked delish …who doesn’t love a Bellini ? Definitely an incredible property . They should offer you the job as their brand ambassador lol. Great video Mr James . Encore is on my to stay list . 😎😎😎
That Song did have a 90's classic race style, eh? I actually found it categorized under hip hop 🤷🏻♂️
I'm not keen on going back to work, but an ambassador job for Wynn:encore would be highly considered. 😎
Hope you're well bro!
Just watched this again James! Excellent video as going for first time this Friday for 3 nights! Super excited just as the warm weather returns!!! Summer of love drink looks like a must!!!
I enjoy your vlogs sooo much! Gives me the opportunity to see how the upper class vacations! I've had the opportunity to stay at Encore, Wynn, Bellagio & Ceasars, but not to dine at the venues you have. But then, if I had to pay $500 for a meal I wouldn't expect to have to cook it myself - not even if they were there to feed me!🤣 It's still interesting to see. So thanks, and keep having fun for all of us!
They should've hand-fed me for that price. Hilarious 🤣
Hi! I know this video is two years old now but I just wanted to explain something for you - ‘Prefecture’ isn’t the name of a place where Kobe beef comes from, there are 47 prefectures in Japan, a little bit like states in America. Kobe beef is beef from Kobe, the capital city of Hyogo prefecture. Love your videos, I’m planning a trip to Vegas soon and they’ve been so useful in helping me plan where to stay and dine. Thank you!
I appreciate your research and input. Me and my wife is visiting Las Vegas for the first time next month and we’re taking your recommendations. Thanks bro!
Your video captured the beauty and class of the property.
Nice video. Looking forward to your next stop.
Circa!
Great tour! I enjoy watching your videos.
I just came back from Vegas and have been binge watching your videos ❤
Going in October, can’t wait!! Love your reviews!!
Thanks Steph! October is one of the best months to visit
Very intelligent comments. Well-made vlog.
Thanks JR
I love Encore... always my #1 choice. But, you really should have tried Sinatra for dinner. It's my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas.
Love your focus on the overlooked ceilings! I think I might like the exotic seafood more than you! Smooth, getting the shots of the adult pool! Another great video.
Apparently that was the only place in America with live Langoustine on the menu.
Love the blue jacket... Please share who makes it... or where to find it.
You speak my language! My all time favorite on the strip. Next time, check out the Tower Suites. It will elevate your experience to yet another luxurious level!
As the channel evolves you know I'll be there 😎
You will be there in no time the way your channel is growing! Well deserved!! ✌🏼⚡️

Wow great job 👏
What a amazing video thanks
Thanks AA
The chocolate mask looked really cool. Did it taste good? Sometimes deserts can look cool but not taste the greatest…
Divine! As delicious as it was striking.
Looking forward to exploring this soon
Absolutely love this channel. You got me so amped up for this place that I booked it for next April. Keep up the great work, all the best.
GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WOW! WYNN/ ENCORE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND BEYOND BREATHTAKING! 🙏
Amazing property and great video! I'm heading to Vegas in December and have been watching all your videos to get the best insight available. Thanks and keep it up!

Great video and I agree with you. But Costa Di Mare closed In July 2021....:(
Honestly I can see why. It was my least favorite dining experience there.
Thanks for bringing this to us….I hope some day I can afford to go to any of these awesome locations…
I just got back from staying at the Encore LV. OMG...HEAVEN!!!!
Best channel James keep up the fabulous work great gratitude⚘✈🎰
Great camera angles 👌
This place drools coolness

I am going back to Vegas for a couple days in November but this time I'm staying over at Wynn in a salon suite. I'm hoping to get in to Delilah for dinner and want to check out Cipriani, too.
They are replacing costa di mare with Gucci cafe
Parlor suite is next level. Apparently there are no photos / videos allowed at Delilah.
@@Coolist Delilah does have a no photos/vidoes policy. I'm not sure how strictly they enforce it because when I was there the couple sitting next to me at the bar took a lot of pictures of the stage and dancers (maybe they knew someone?).

I have encore/Wynn at 1 and 2 respectively, and then palazzo/Venetian at 3/4, respectively.
What a fantastic video again james. Every video you make gets better. Fantastic insight of the hotel and I’m sure when I’m next in Vegas I’ll be definitely visiting the encore. Keep them coming, tremendous work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks David! On the home stretch - four hotels left on this trip.
@@Coolist looking forward to them, you do a great job.
This was a fantastic video definitely going to stay at the encore on my next trip to Vegas Definitely gonna restaurant the next time I’m in Vegas
Thanks! Definitely check out it - you'll love it 💯

Have an awesome stay! Spoiler: it gets better than Wynn and it's right next door 😎
I've been there for a daytime visit. Gambling and eating. Had a great time. Food was fantastic. Won at gambling. That always makes your day. But never stayed over night there. I'll have to do a more intense visit next time, for sure. And I'll try Cipriani's. I'm glad you had a awesome visit there. 😍😎xoxo
wow, what a review! On my next trip to Vegas we're staying at Encore. Take care
Thanks John.
Only staying here when I go! Thanks james as always for the knowledge 🤝
Yo! Always 🤝
Feel like I on a mini holiday eventhough I'm 7000 miles away ! Mabuhay ! From the P. I.
I will definitely plan a visit for my birthday. I've joined the rewards program. 🍾🍾
Boom 💥
Great filming, I will eat at Ciprini , & someday stay in Encore. I like your jackets& the blue shirt at end, not huge fan of the white undershirt ones. Keep sharing w us your trips.

Great review of the best resort in Vegas!
Wynncore will always be #1 🤌
Very Nice-da! Thanks! Staying there in November.
November is the perfect month.
Your channel is awesome! We love your content.
I'm in Vegas now staying at the Wynn for the first time. I like it alot but I'm looking forward to coming back and staying at the Encore Suites next time
Looking fly with that blazer. Do you think the coconut water helps you stay hydrated pretty good?
It Very much helps with hydration, but just as important: it's loaded with potassium, which helps to purge sodium out of your system.
Stayed at the Wynn in Nov of 21' then at Encore in Feb 22' as well as July of 22'. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in my opinion of Encore lol because I for sure came to the conclusion that there can't be a hotel better than this but thought I was just being biased.

Manny's in Minneapolis?
@@Coolist yes!
@@Coolist the bigger question is - what did YOU think of SW?
I definitely want the best of my Vegas experience, so I’ll be staying here 😍
The best or nothing 💫
Yo james being a las vegas vet you probably do this already, but you should sign up for the hotel rewards and get credit for your spend. They'll offer you comped or discounted rooms for your future stays
Oh man, you are still in Vegas? I think Costa di Mare was easily the best Italian restaurant in Vegas when Bartolotta was running it - he also ran Spiaggia in Chicago. Sadly we lost two of the best Italian chefs, him and Mario Batali. Looks like you are having great fun. Enjoy your infinity trip!
Awesome insight on the chef/restaurant scene.
I'm so sad to learn that Costa Di Mare is closed permanently now! I was going to check it based on your review here, thanks for the great video!
INSANE Videos!!! The quality of your Videos are top notch!! There is a vegas guy on u tube named pompsie and I thought he was the best vegas content maker but u have officially taken the spot!!! I would love more vegas content from u!! All your Videos are top notch but I love the vegas Videos .. keep up the good work
Thanks. We usually do SW, Lakeside, and Sinatra for our dinners. I love lunch and dinner at Wazuzu. Their Yellowtail sushi is fantastic. The drunken noodles also some of the best.
Last trip in August we tried Wing Lei. The table side duck was very tasty. Most of the apps were very nicely done. Even the pot stickers came each in their own basket. Very cool
image1.jpeg
Table side duck? 😃
@@Coolist Yes they carve the full Peking duck table side.
Costa has been closed for about two months. The langoustine was ok. Atmosphere was awesome totally agree that Encore is super nice to stay at.
It closed July 18. Looks like I had one of the last meals they served.
The 21 pool looks amazing do you know how much it would be to get in if you were not staying at the hotel.
Need to stay at encore to get in. Staying at Wynn won't even get you in there.
I watch your videos in AWE. I'm in Puerto Vallarta, MX for 5 years now....the prices you pay for things in Vegas are Crazy! A 5 Star dinner here is a fraction of what you pay for a day at a pool there. But you are the Pro with your videos for Vegas afficianados.!
I did some Puerto Vallarta content! I loved Sonora Prime
@@Coolist I will check it out!!
The Encore/Winn iarw my favorite hotels in Vegas but unfortunately I’ve on stayed at Winn and so watching your video makes want to stay there on my next trip to Vega$
Love Encore too. But Palazzo my #1.
My two favorite properties
Great Room!
A step above the rest 💯🤙🏼
The best is yet to come bro
@@Coolist Can’t wait you see what’s next brother 🤙🏼💯👊🏼
Encore is my favorite also.
Just a little correction to your comment about Wing Lei. Wing Lei was not the only restaurant in Las Vegas with Michelin Stars. Joel Robuchon at MGM had 3 stars before they stopped doing inspections a few years ago.
At one time it was the only Vegas restaurant with a Michelin rating, as Joel Roubechon lost theirs whilst Wing Lei attained it. I didn't say wing lei was the only Michelin rated restaurant in Vegas, I Said at one time is was the only one that was rated in the city, which is 100 factual.
omg pina colado! how much was dat drink? 20bucks?
Nice video, I''ll be there the end of September......What days of the week were you there, it looked a little dead...... was it crowded? Did the adult pool get crowded? Thanks man!
Those shots were taken at dawn - I do that to get bright and unobstructed shots. Enjoy your stay 🤝
Try eating at the bar at Sinatra. It’s the best Italian at encore/Wynn by far in my opinion
From recollect, it's a small bar setup, right? Maybe 4 seats?
@@Coolist small bar but they do have a bar nonetheless and I’ve eaten there solo numerous times. The bar had 8 seats pre COVID times. Highly recommend Frank’s Spaghetti and Clams
As long as there's a bar im in! Only dined there before and vaguely remembered a small bar setup.
That was my problem with the Wynn, the security is somewhat aggressive. Maybe it’s necessary, but it can also be frightening. ‘Swarming’ you when one guard would do is overkill. While staying I felt a bit intimidated by them.
@coolist do you get to keep those fancy cups the drinks come in? iv bag, disco ball and glass fish martini glass?
Iv bag - yes
Disco ball - not sure
Fish glass - nope
James you have convinced me to stay at the Encore for my upcoming anniversary! Would you recommend Mizumi or SW steakhouse for an anniversary dinner?
Mizumi, because the experience is more spectacular, sensational, and memorable.
@@Coolist Mizumi it is then! Been so hooked on your channel, so thank you for all that you do for us! Your luxury hotel series has def helped out for my Miami trip too!
i think long island ice teas taste like they have no booze in them. my husband and i and our friends all drank them at a new years eve party. myself and our friends wife both got pregnant that night and both delivered girls on oct 2nd lol! exactly 9 months later lol!! we always say there something in those drinks.
The cheapest rate I could find for Encore was $700 a night. You can get a room at the Palazzo for $150 to $250 mid week. Is Encore really three or four times better than Palazzo? I really doubt it. I think it’s the name and the prestige and the image that you’re paying for. But I guess I am never going to find out, because I am not going to spend that much money for a room night in Vegas. Having said all that, it’s a very fun review and I appreciate your reviewing it so us common folks can see how the rich live!
While I won’t ever stay there, places like this make Vegas cool!
I would love to see you do a head to head video of Wynn vs Encore Tower Suites and their amenities. Parlor to Parlor suites for example. But then it might have to wait until next year because the Wynn is getting a make over that should be completed by Christmas, I think. A completely new palette. I believe there's a mock-up in the Wynn store where you can buy everything from the sheets, robes, pillows and even the bed! We've never stayed in a King room. We were talked into upgrading on our first stay. We've tried the Executive, Parlor and Salon Suites at Wynn Tower. We walk over to Encore to dine at Sinatra's and Wazuzu. We've been comped a room at Encore next month. The same kind that you showcased in this video. I've already submitted to upgrade to Wynn Tower Parlor. We may reconsider since it has a separate living space. However, we really like having a powder room. We have reservations for Mizumi. In all the times we been, we just haven't made it over there. We're always on the hunt for a vegan experience that includes a great ambiance. It's time to check it out. Thanks for all your efforts. We really enjoy your videos. They're smart, elegant and lavish. That's the way we like to Vegas. We can eat steamed broccoli and baked tofu at home.
I absolutely love everything about this comment.
And yes, a tower suite comparison will come someday.
5:36 they do the same thing with my liquor bottles.
Best hotel I’ve ever been to BUT 1985 called and wants its music back 😅
Am I mistaken or is that the remnants of a stain I see on the black sofa in the living room? I AM a fan of Encore and Wynn but I've noticed in just about all Vegas hotels that it's common to find the furniture often leaves traces of previous guests.
It was just the way the fibers were positioned in that one spot
@@Coolist gotcha, thanks for clarifying! I DID have a similar looking type stain on the sofa when I stayed at The Palazzo. I called housekeeping and they ended up removing it and giving me a new replacement. On a side note, I think it's true that the rooms at Encore are the most comfortable and elegant on the strip BUT I still prefer The Palazzo because I think the vibe is more interesting and the options for shopping and dining much greater. The Venetian is, to my mind and as you mentioned in another video, busier and has a less exclusive feel than The Palazzo. Overall the rooms are very comfortable even though the amenities aren't good in the room. But it's comfy with the 2 televisions and great views and so on. I also prefer the more central location - Encore is just a bit far from other places that I like. So yes, while I think Encore rooms are the best, I prefer The Palazzo as an overall choice. Thanks for your great posts, they're very informative!
is the adult european pool topless? im surprised they didnt demand your film @COOLIST
Nah, they were cool. There wasn't a soul there so nobody's privacy was violated. And it's a "top-tional" pool.
You should do a Gold Coast hotel stay

"I'm gonna sweat out the toxins from last night." Proceeds to refill his body with toxins. NICE.
Next time, order a cup of rice. One bite of A5 wagyu 3 spoons of white rice.
Wynn is the best!
How do you indulge like this everyday and stay trim and fit? I gain 5 lbs watching each of your videos.
"There's still unfinished business here for me" lol. In other words: You wanted to stay again :)
