The Encore at Wynn Las Vegas is scheduled to remain open daily starting on April 8. That will end a midweek shuttering that was in effect due to COVID-19 since last October.
The hotel-casino only was open each week on Thursday at 2 pm PT until Monday at noon due to low volume. Next month, both Encore’s gaming floor and hotel will be open daily, the property announced on Monday. Restaurants and The Spa at Encore, will operate under revised schedules.
Tourists, Workers Happy About Reopening
News of the latest reopening of a Las Vegas property is certainly welcome, according to Alan Feldman, UNLV’s Distinguished Fellow in Responsible Gaming at the International Gaming Institute. Last year, he said he was unaware of anything like the Encore midweek shutdown ever happening.
“The fact that Las Vegas is able to re-open more hotel rooms, restaurants, shows, and attractions is all comforting news not only for visitors to Las Vegas, but also for the many workers returning to their jobs,” says Feldman, who worked for decades at MGM Resorts International.
