The original 2008 Encore covered driveway (porte-cochere) is now the current 2010 site of the Encore Beach.

Encore's New Beach Club

When Steve Wynn's Encore Hotel first opened, in 2008, the hotel had two entry-ways and porte-cocheres.
The covered driveway closest to the Las Vegas Boulevard Strip was the West Entry and the driveway on the
other side of the hotel was the North Entry. These dual entrys were designed during the time when three other
new hotels were expected to soon open nearby (the Fountainebleau, Plaza and Eschelon hotels). After delays
caused construction on these hotels to be stalled & stopped - the Encore found better use for the West Entry.

During the last year the Encore property along the Strip was re-designed and converted into a roadside
pool & cabana area. The former West interior entry area has been turned into the Surrender nightclub.

Chandeliers and the entire covered driveway (porte cochere) have been removed for the Beach expansion.
The main entry to Encore is now the North porte cochere. Direct access to the Beach is available from
the Strip parking-garage located between the Encore and Wynn Las Vegas hotels (seen in video below).
