Encore is farther north along the strip than Wynn but from the ground floor you don’t realize it is two properties - it just flows in to one massive resort. Each hotel tower looks nearly identical from the outside. The Wynn and Encore are two hotels within the same property - think Venetian/Palazzo as the closest parallel. It had been a number of years since I had stayed at either the Wynn or Encore and I was excited to try out the property again. I was able to book a free weekend at the Encore through a double status match.
