New Frontier Plans; Encore at Wynn Las Vegas To Have 2,000+ Rooms

Posted by Hunter

Sorry I missed these over the weekend, I was doing research in Las Vegas.

The Clark County Planning Commission shared some details of upcoming projects for the New Frontier site and Wynn's Encore project.

Here's the Las Vegas Sun article discussion both: Las Vegas Sun.

If you want to read the commission's materials, they are located here:

I heard somewhere that Encore's name was being changed to Wynn North; do you know if that's true?

Hmm, poolside villas? Sounds nice.

Do you think the North Fairways will be annexed by Encore? Seems logical.

I saw that online as well but I can't confirm it.

Honestly though, I expect that Encore is a working name and that they will use something else when the project is completed. That's just my guess.

My first reaction to Ruffin's ferris wheel was "Oh no!", but...I think it will be okay (my understanding is that it will be modeled after the 'London Eye'). I'm just glad he's made a commitment.

I also read about the Encore name change to 'Wynn North' at Vegas Today and Tomorrow, but I haven't been able to confirm this anywhere.

On a side note (and off topic) the 'W Las Vegas' project has their web site up: edgeresorts.com
