10 encore las vegas attractions Ideas

See Lake of Dreams: Grab a cocktail at Parasol Down overlooking the free Lake of Dreams show offered nightly every half hour starting at sundown.

The man-made lake, acting as the setting of the show, is accentuated by over 1,500 trees, a 90-foot waterfall, and over 5,500 LED lights.

In addition to Parasol Down, both Lakeside and SW Steakhouse have patios overlooking Wynn’s Lake of Dreams. There is also a free viewing area for those not looking to grab food or drink.

Sing Along with Dueling Pianos: Another free show at Wynn, Eastside Lounge hosts one of the few dueling piano shows in Las Vegas. Entertainment kicks off nightly at 9:30, with the average handcrafted cocktail costing $18-$20. As an upscale lounge, we recommend dressing the part. Swimwear and tank tops are not permitted.

Explore the Conservatory: Among all things to do at Wynn, admiring the conservatory should be at the top of your list. Enjoy the floral arrangements, plant life, and trees that are difficult to find in the middle of the desert, much less inside a Las Vegas casino. Another free attraction, Wynn’s Conservatory makes for a perfect photo opportunity.

Enjoy an Entertaining Dinner: Delilah ranks among the trendiest dinner shows in Las Vegas, supplying what seems to be a neverending stream of celebrity sightings since opening.

Created in the image of Vegas showrooms from the ’50s, Delilah entertains over dinner with an assortment of live music. View Delilah’s menu here.

High-End Shopping: I detest shopping. I don’t enjoy doing it at home, and wouldn’t dream of spending my time in Vegas walking around a shopping mall. I promise you, the Wynn Plaza Shops are an exception.

While shoppers will enjoy perusing stores like Breitling, Le Labo, Loewe, and Louis Vuitton, all will enjoy the beauty, luxury, and artistic displays at the Wynn Plaza Shops.

Ideas For Things To Do Near Wynn and Encore

Explore Venetian: Just south of Wynn, Venetian is intricately themed and stunning to see in person. Ensure you walk through the Grand Canal Shoppes, which give guests the illusion of walking the streets of Venice, Italy. Complete with canals, gondoliers, and even a replica St. Mark’s Square, the 160 retail shops are almost an afterthought.

See an Eruption: The volcano out front of Mirage is a free attraction and deserves to be at the top of your list of things to do near Wynn and Encore. A powerful, and hot, display, the Mirage Volcano is among the best free things to do in Las Vegas.

Grab Dinner With a View: We compiled a list of restaurants with a view of the iconic Fountains of Bellagio. While restaurants at Bellagio with a view tend to be spendy, options across the street at Alexxa’s, Beer Park, and Mon Ami Gabi come with less sticker shock.

Venture to the Top of STRAT’s SkyPod: Take a quick Uber/Lyft to STRAT and take the elevator to the top of their SkyPod. There, you’ll be able to enjoy stunning views of Las Vegas, grab a cocktail, and scare yourself silly on one of the 3 rides that will test your fear of heights.

Discounted observation deck tickets and ride packages can be bought via this deal currently on Groupon.

Visit Resorts World: The newest resort in Las Vegas, Resorts World, is a 10-minute walk north of Encore and worth the trip! In addition to a sprawling casino and an abundance of food options, the casino is also home to the Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den Speakeasy, which is disguised by a functioning restaurant called Fuhu Cha Chaan Teng.

Tacos El Gordo: Also 10 minutes north of Encore by foot, Tacos El Gordo delivers authentic Mexican fare at a price that won’t break the bank.

Best yet, your food is made right in front of you after you place your order. It’s a popular spot, but don’t let the crowds scare you off. Tacos El Gordo is worth the wait.

Play Vintage Slots: Real coin slot machines are making their last stand on the Strip at Circus Circus, a short ride away from Wynn & Encore. Located just inside the front entrance is a sizable bank of about twenty $1 token slot games.

Make a stop if you crave that metallic “ting, ting, ting” of yesteryear!

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.

Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
