Behind the Red Ropes: XS at the Encore

While the entire world is battling a global recession, the bright lights of Las Vegas remain lit. The city of sin has always been infamous for excess and even with a recession, Vegas seems to be, well, recession proof!

With the constant expansion of hotels, clubs and real estate there is no stopping the city that never sleeps. And one spot that is making a lot of noise is club XS, located inside the Encore hotel, which is Steve Wynn’s new addition to the Wynn hotel.

XS is by far one of the most sophisticated nightclubs in the world, hence the name XS, which stands for, excess.

This Hollyscoop certified hotspot brings in Hollywood’s biggest stars, such as Justin Timberlake and Paris Hilton. When you walk into this club, you will be mesmerized by the design of the 40,000 square foot indoor and outdoor space.

For a second you may forget you're in a nightclub to party and not there to gaze at the mosaics as if it’s a work of art inside a museum.

The location is key as the club surrounds Encore’s sparkling pool. The new club comes as a follow-up to the collaboration between Steve Wynn and Las Vegas nightclub impresario Victor Drai, who together created Tryst along with managing partners Cy and Jesse Waits.

Designed by Victor Drai and Roger Thomas, the club is inspired by the sexy curves of the human body and decorated in rich gold, black, bronze and browns. There are more than 10,000 individual sources that illuminate light throughout the club.

Dance poles designed to look like lanterns and chandeliers are spread throughout the exclusive nightclub. Mirrored mosaics, gold crocodile embossed leather, Kinon laminates, black Galazy mosaics, brushed brass and gold resin bar tops collaborate to form a rich, sexy nightclub environment.

The club boasts 95 indoor VIP tables and 30 VIP cabanas, but don't think you can just pick up the phone and get a last minute reservation. The space packs up quickly and the lines begin at the door even before the nightclub opens its doors. We recommend you make reservations before attempting to hit this venue.

For those partygoers that want to truly enjoy the “XS” experience, we recommend you try the “Ono” cocktail, which features Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981 and Louis XIII de Remy Martin Black Pearl cognac.

The cocktail comes with men’s sterling silver cufflinks embossed with stingray and the raised XS logo and a woman’s 18K white gold chain with a black pearl pendant and XS logo. The drink will cost you $10,000.

Now enough talking, lets get to the fun stuff. Make sure to check out our exclusive coverage inside the club where we catch up with one of the masterminds, Cy Waits, as he gives us the scoop on XS.
