goal of becoming the “the greatest daytime venue ever created”. at the incredible cost $68 million, it seems mr. wynn was prepared to pay for it too. yet beyond the michelin-starred service, it’s the custom designed John Lyons lighting and sound systems that continue to attract the biggest dJs in house and electro to Encore Beach Club, counting Tiesto, deadmau5, Steve angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, afrojack, Calvin Harris, Steve aoki and many more on their list of resident talent.
