It is a much longer walk to the poker room from the Encore, the Wynn is closer to all the other casino's I wanted to visit, the minimum stakes for the table games is generally higher at Encore (when I went I had a hard time finding a $25 BJ table), and the restaurants and coffee shop are considerably more expensive.
It all depends on what you want - if you prefer quieter, less busy and more upscale casino with slightly better rooms, then Encore. For more convenience, slightly lower stakes (but still quite upscale) casino go for Wynn. Both are fantastic resorts.
Thank you, sir, and thanks everyone for replies. Pretty contrasting responses across the line, but I think in the end I've decided to just stick with the Wynn reservation as that seems to be becoming the consensus, plus I'm sure it will be good either way since both are top rated. So yeah, thanks all! Now I just have to patiently wait until June arrives
