Las Vegas billionaire Steve Wynn undeniably has something to be thrilled about this holiday time. Investing about $2.3 billion, the dazzling casino-hotel named Encore will inaugurate this week.

This posh hotel is joined to the tremendously fashionable Wynn Vegas on the Sin City Strip. As lots of Las Vegas hotel proprietors are doing the best they can to come across a manner to keep their hotels from closing, Wynn is doing quite well with his $billion property investments.

This 2,000 room building is a masterpiece in itself. The centerpiece of this casino-hotel will be the nightclub, XS. Steve Wynn has noticed in the recent past that nightclubs are hotspots in LV, and not necessarily the hotels as they were years ago. He says that LV nightclubs typically make more riches and are a large hotspot for the young crowd.

He has also created a lush eatery joined to the XS nightclub. Named after the popular Colombian artist, Fernando Botero this restaurant in the form of a circle has a huge Botero figure as the main focus point. Not quite spectacular as the nightclub which it is connected to; the Botero steakhouse is designed to harmonize quite well with the showy Vegas nightclub.
The inspiration behind XS and Botero is a sort of St. Tropez feeling, where the bash carries on without a pause and most of the party happens close to a swimming pool or beach. Times are a changin’ in Vegas, where many folks would rather drinking and parties to gambling at the present time.
