While he builds a great resort, Steve Wynn has yet to create a real nightlife hotspot in his two latest hotels ventures on the Vegas strip. Sure Tryst is pretty great on a Friday night, but the rest of the week it can't hold a gas torch to spots like Tao or Playboy Club. His newest late-night adventure is XS, located in the all-new Encore Tower at the Wynn. While money has never been an issue, this latest venture is a spare-no-expense nightclub in the round located in the main corridor connecting the two resorts. While Steve Wynn isn't usually the type of guy we hope to see when on a Vegas romp at 2am, his partners in XS are and include Victor Drai and Jesse Waits who have created some of the city's best celebrity dance clubs.
Vixens in stilettos and dapper dudes in white dress shirts make a grand entrance down a long corridor and revolving glass doors leading to the coat check entrance. Up and stairway, an ornate leads t the main entryway offering a magnificent view of the new Encore resort pool shimmering in light reflected from a grand chandelier located above the main dance floor. The amphitheater- architecture creates three levels offering banquette seating and table service for those too refined to walk to one of two bars. Throughout the club are several stripper poles that encourage ladies in their BeBe-best to show-off their finest drunken dance moves. During warmer months, glass doors open to an additional poolside lounge of daybeds and cabanas with additional bar.
Tips
Stay at Encore, beg concierge for door comps or at least a spot on the VIP list.
Last Word
Nightclub in the round is the latest Wynn nightclub to lure the dressy masses to upscale lounge life that rolls till 3am.
