The Encore project, built by Tutor Saliba, cost $2.3 billion. Construction of Encore began on April 28, 2006, the first anniversary of Wynn Las Vegas' opening.
Encore took the place of two Desert Inn hotel structures, the Palms and St. Both are owned by Wynn Resorts and located on the former site of the Desert Inn resort, which Steve Wynn purchased and closed in 2000. The resort is connected to its sister resort, Wynn Las Vegas, located directly south.
