Both sit at 9/10 with five stars, but Encore is $68 cheaper a night and comes with breakfast, a hot tub and golf that Fontainebleau doesn't list. Fontainebleau has a rooftop and a much larger review base (4,804 versus 529), suggesting a bigger, more heavily trafficked operation. If you want quieter luxury with more included, book Encore; if you want the newer tower and rooftop scene, pay the premium for Fontainebleau.
Encore is the Wynn's sister tower, all curved gold glass and Roger Thomas's maximalist interiors: butterfly motifs, jewel-toned carpets, chandeliers doing a lot of talking. Suites are the standard room type here, floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with desert light, dark wood and brass fittings giving it a private-club feel rather than a casino-floor one. The two nightclubs and the steak-and-Italian dining rotate a fashionable, slightly older Vegas crowd than the Strip's newer builds. It reads as considered rather than loud, an interior built to be lived in for a few days rather than just photographed.
Encore suits travellers who want a plush, self-contained resort stay with breakfast, a hot tub and golf included, and don't need the newest building on the Strip.
Fontainebleau brought the Miami name and its Morris Lapidus-descended glamour to Vegas after decades of construction limbo, opening in 2023 as a sleek blue-glass tower with a MICHELIN Key. The lobby leans cooler and more contemporary than Encore's jewel-box rooms, with a fine dining restaurant, a trendy bar and a rooftop pool scene that plays to the newer Strip crowd chasing views and Instagram light. It sits centrally near the Convention Center and Stratosphere, putting it closer to the convention and business traffic than the resort-corridor calm further south.
Fontainebleau suits guests chasing the newest tower, a rooftop scene and easy access to the Convention Center, and who don't mind paying more for it.
Fontainebleau's listing doesn't mention breakfast, a hot tub or golf, all of which Encore includes at a lower nightly rate, so the extra $68 buys the rooftop and the newer build rather than more amenities.
Encore is the more beautiful room to actually sit in, its Roger Thomas interiors giving it a richness and warmth that Fontainebleau's cooler, newer glass tower doesn't yet have.

“amazing resort, just very pricey. excellent hotel gym but DO NOT go 7-9am”
suuuuuuper nice room. we stayed in the Wynn not the newer encore. every restaurant was amazing, the pool and pool service were amazing, every staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. cons: very expensive. ie $30+ for a sandwich. basically everything is 2-3x what you'd pay off the Strip [i'm a local, we were on a staycation]. other thing is i'm a gym rat, been to literally hundreds of gyms esp during my many years o
“I would stay here again.”
The hotel was beautiful, the room was well appointed and comfortable.
My only complaint was that this is Vegas. We got there at 9pm and by the time we got checked in and were ready for dinner, all restaurants were closed except for the grab and go one.
“Very rude stuff that doesn’t solve any issues you might have”
The property is new. So it was clean and smelled good. But there were a couple of things that spoiled all the impression.
The pool didn’t have enough shade. Water in the pool was too cold. Even with extreme heat outside the difference in temperatures was unbearable. Stuff is very rude. It takes an out for them to answer your request. They talk to you in a dismissive and disrespectful manner. We had 50$ credit for the food. They didn’t e
