Back in February 2010 - seems like ages ago - Surfaces organized an insider's tour in Las Vegas of the Encore, hipper, younger sister to the Wynn, led by the Encore design team. The experience - because it captured intense Las Vegas style inspiration - was unforgettable. Luckily, I had my camera handy and kept it busy thereby allowing me to share with you several bathrooms.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that opulence is a dominant theme throughout the Wynn and Encore in terms of unique materials and themes and fascinating juxtapositions of products.
We started out at the Wynn Las Vegas. This first bathroom is located in the shopper section - definitely not your average shopping mall public restroom! Notice the beautiful materials and the combinations of colors, shapes and textures. I love the contrast between the bold floor pattern and the more soothing solids of the other surfaces.

As you transition from the Wynn to the Encore you notice butterflies. The effect is subtle because the color scheme works together. The Encore theme is the butterfly which symbolizes metamorphosis; it's considered good luck across all cultures. I took many photos of all of the instances of butterflies: in store windows, on the walls, in sconces.
Carpet transitioning from the Wynn to Encore
This bold butterfly carpet pattern was repeated in tile patterns. Truly marvelous!
Moving on to another bathroom.
We visited the XS Club, inspired by the human body, and were told that this was a place that got pretty wild at night. Luckily, we were there early in the day and had it all to ourselves. Check out the women's room....
The Women's Room: What's That in the Mirror?
Understated, utilitarian flash
Functional with glitz
Consider yourself warned!
As you exited the bar to make your way to the foyer, these marvelous torsos lined the wall.
This image I took along our walk. I just had to include it. You are right in concluding that it has nothing to do with the club we just left. I consider it timelessly elegant, possibly even reminiscent of the 60s?.

Finally, this bathroom was in one of the special ritzy suites. I couldn't get over the soothing green color scheme and the rich, sparkly insets and details. Luckily, the mirror frames were simple shapes. Isn't that fabric scrumptious?

I've been to the bathrooms at they Wynn and was impressed. I didn't love it; but, the selection of material and use of color and texture is amazing.
The women's room in the XS club, I hadn't seen (surprisingly) and was impressed.
