The rooms at Encore Boston Harbor are similar to those at Wynn in Las Vegas. My guide said the casino floor at Encore Boston Harbor is bigger than the casino floors at both of Wynn’s properties in Vegas combined. There’s a separate, upper level for the high-stakes games. The casino floor at Encore Boston Harbor is 210,000 square feet with 3,100 slots and 231 table games.

Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox said the facility’s payroll is $300 million. But he said the Hard Rock had 3,500 employees, while Encore Boston Harbor has more than 5,000 as it heads to the target level of 5,800 employees. My guide said he previously worked at the Hard Rock Café in Atlantic City, which had 2,000 rooms (versus 671 at Encore Boston Harbor) and an even bigger casino floor. This is a unique place, with lots of local flavor, but if you’ve been to either of the two Wynn Resorts properties in Las Vegas a lot will feel familiar – the flowery décor, the serene spa, and the heavy emphasis on personal attention.
