Whether you want a hearty breakfast, quick lunch or sumptuous dinner, the restaurants and cafes at Encore Las Vegas (might) offer what you’re looking for. Many of Encore’s restaurants are only open for dinner, so if you can’t find the right meal at the right time of day, head over to Wynn Las Vegas, which is only a short walk away.

Lobby Bar and Café
Encore’s Lobby Bar and Café is located near the resort’s lobby and is a great place to grab a cocktail, quick snack or pastry before heading out to the pool or explore the Strip.
