Looks like Expedia has leaked out some extra photos of the rooms at Encore, the companion resort to Wynn Las Vegas.

We get to see the entry way, bathroom and most interestingly, the sitting area. You can see in photographic detail how the 'suite' is divided - a wall with a cut-out for a TV that swivels between the two rooms.
Thanks to reader JK for the find.

I like the decor and design a lot. Contemporary but not so severe like Mirage's new Jetsons-like design. Very classy. Only thing I don't like is that cutout for the TV. That's a specific reason why we sometimes look for a suite--so that one can watch TV while the other sleeps and this arrangement wouldn't really work any better than a regular room. Still, that's more of a quibble than a major complaint.
I think they've hit a real home run. The entry way is stunning with mirrors and Wynn Apartment Villa-inspired closet doors. I also love the two-tone moldings. If they would just replace that sofa with something beige or dark brown, it would be perfect.
I still think it's a bit of a stretch to call it a "suite" though. The first point of entry for a suite should be the living room. For what it's worth, Orbitz has also got the pictures plus lots of flowery-talk descriptions I hadn't seen before:

Hey, Mike E, I like that gray sofa.
I assume the room with the cut-out replaces the Executive Suite in Wynn. It's a nice room, and the divider helps, but I agree with Gregory, it's nice to have a suite with a fully separate bedroom.
Eating LV has some more recent restaurant details:

Also, they're citing a December 22nd opening date. Hopefully that date stands (I'm serious - despite what some people think, I want it to open on time).
I like these rooms a lot. It's a stretch to call it a suite, but they're pretty nice.
In the shot of the living area, it looks like the flooring is a hardwood floor...maybe its just the pattern of the carpet but it certainly looks interesting to me.
No, that's just a pattern on the carpet you're seeing I think.
Encore is now open for reservations with 2 pictures and floor plans of rooms on encorelasvegas.com
As expected, it's damn expensive. But, I think we knew that going into this.
Well I just got sent a invite for 3 comp nights at the Encore and I will give yall the real low down when i get back, becuse if i went off the comments, and pictures yall might make me cancel my trip.
