I liked the fact that I could easily walk to the Fashion Mall and it wasn’t much further to a drug store which is always useful. The location is a bit remote compared with the other hotels I normally stay in but there are so many restaurants and facilities on site it wasn’t a major issue.
It is next to the Wynn and connected internally as well if you are there when it is very hot.
The Encore is at the North end of the strip at the finish of the main run of hotels.
