Wynn Resorts said the Encore Boston Harbor is opening its
doors on June 23.
The $2.6 billion luxury resort will feature a 210,000-square-foot gaming venue with 3,000 slot machines, 143
table games and an 88-table Poker Room for high-end poker and private-gaming
experiences.
The Encore Boston Harbor will house 671 guestrooms and
suites, each outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, premium linens and
tech-friendly amenities like flat-screen 4K televisions, bedside mobile
charging devices and wireless iPadsRooms will feature a voice-activation
system, allowing guests to control curtains, lighting, heating,
air-conditioning and privacy settings via speech.
The property will feature 15 restaurants, bars and lounges.
Several dining concepts from the Wynn and Encore Las Vegas have been replicated
at the resort, including the Sinatra restaurant and Wynn Buffet, while
the resort's Rare Steakhouse draws direct inspiration from the SW
Steakhouse at the Wynn Las Vegas.
Other culinary options will take a more localized approach,
with the New England-inspired Oyster Bar showcasing freshly shucked oysters and
clams and the Waterfront pairing regional craft beers and spirits with sharable
plates.
The Encore Boston Harbor's more nightlife-focused venues
will include the Center Bar, located in the middle of the casino floor, and the
Garden Lounge, a craft cocktail bar perched above the lobby. Memoire, billed as
an "upscale lounge experience," will host DJ performances and offer
VIP table service.
Other offerings include a spa with 17 treatment rooms, more
than 50,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and a retail component,
with outposts like Wynn Collection, Wynn Beauty and Wynn Men's stocking
designer fashion and cosmetics and a Wynn Drugstore selling various sundries
and gifts.
Encore Boston Harbor's opening follows a period of some
uncertainty for Wynn Resorts. Massachusetts gaming regulators recently called into
question Wynn's ability to retain a gaming license in the state after
investigations were made into the company's concealment of sexual misconduct
claims against founder Steve Wynn.
This past April, regulators ruled that Wynn Resorts could
hold on to its license but they fined the company $35 million.
