I walked to the Encore and had to pass through a labyrinthine-like maze starting at the Venetian. In these harsh economic times, who can afford to play a $5 slot machine? I visited Encore on the 27th and the place was packed! There was ample space to gamble, as most of the people were merely trudging through the establishment with a curious eye. Similar in design to the Wynn, Encore has a gaudy red color palette and butterfly motif. Steve Wynn's newest luxury casino, Encore, recently opened on December 22nd.
