Vegas Hotel Guide

Nightlife Near Wynn & Encore

No hotel in Las Vegas puts you closer to top-tier nightlife than the Wynn-Encore complex. The number one ranked nightclub in the country and the most iconic pool party on the Strip are both on your property. You never need to get in a car, wait for a rideshare, or cross a single street. The elevator is your commute.

But the Wynn's location at the north end of the Strip also gives you walking access to Resorts World and The Venetian — two more nightlife powerhouses within 10 minutes on foot. Here is every venue you can reach from your room.

On-Property: XS Nightclub

XS Nightclub is inside the Encore tower, accessible through the casino floor. For Wynn and Encore guests, the walk from your room to the club entrance is 3 to 5 minutes depending on which tower you are in. XS is a 40,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor venue with a pool deck, consistently ranked among the top nightclubs in the world. Headliner DJs play Friday and Saturday, with Sunday Nightswim events during pool season. Open Friday through Sunday, 10:30 PM to 4 AM.

The advantage of staying at Wynn: you can go back to your room between the pool party and the nightclub. No rideshare, no packing a change of clothes in a bag. Elevator up, shower, change, elevator down. This matters more than people realize after a full day in the sun.

On-Property: Encore Beach Club

Encore Beach Club is the dayclub that defined the Vegas pool party. Located at the Encore pool deck, it is a 60,000-square-foot complex with headliner DJs, cabanas, and lily pads. Open Friday through Sunday during pool season (March through October), 11 AM to 6 PM. As a Wynn or Encore guest, you have the shortest walk of any hotel — the pool area connects directly to the Encore tower.

EBC at Night runs seasonal Nightswim events on select nights, turning the pool into an after-dark party with the same production value as a nightclub.

5-Minute Walk: Resorts World

Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World is a 5-minute walk north from the Wynn. Zouk has one of the most advanced sound and lighting systems in Vegas and runs Thursday through Saturday with strong resident and headliner DJs. Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World is a Balinese-inspired pool party open Friday through Sunday during season.

The Wynn-to-Resorts World walk is straightforward and well-lit along Las Vegas Boulevard. No pedestrian bridges or casino floor mazes required.

10-Minute Walk: The Venetian

Tao Nightclub at The Venetian is roughly 10 minutes on foot heading south from the Wynn. Tao leans into hip-hop and mixed format, making it a strong complement to the EDM-heavy programming at XS and Zouk. Tao Beach dayclub is also at The Venetian with an upscale Asian-inspired design.

Strip Clubs: 5-Minute Ride

The two nearest strip clubs to the Wynn are both a short ride away. Sapphire Las Vegas is the world's largest gentlemen's club at 71,000 square feet, about 5 minutes from the Wynn's main entrance. Spearmint Rhino is also 5 minutes in the opposite direction and operates 24 hours. Both offer free entry and a free guest list directly from the Wynn valet area through our guest list.

Pre-Game Dining

The Wynn has some of the best restaurants on the Strip, so you never need to leave the property for dinner before going out. SW Steakhouse overlooks the Lake of Dreams with a theatrical water show. Mizumi serves Japanese cuisine in a garden setting. Lakeside offers seafood with lake views. Red 8 is the casual option for Asian food without a reservation. All are steps from XS, so dinner transitions seamlessly into the nightclub.
