"Because of the synergy between all the clubs, we often have nights where all kinds of entertainers and celebrities converge onstage at the same time." —sean christie and you can expect more opportunities to see our top DJs. Rather than having superstars like Avicii and Kaskade only playing Saturdays at the Beach Club, you'll also be able to see them on Fridays and Sundays." Wynn's DJ lineup for the coming season is deep, masterful, and com- pelling. The stellar posse of music makers locked down by XS, Tryst, Surrender, and Encore Beach Club has pushed electronic dance music to the next level. Besides Avicii and Kaskade, they include Diplo, David Guetta, Zedd, Skrillex, and deadmau5. "Sean and I went all out on talent," says Waits. "Las Vegas right now focuses on the big guys. People want to see DJs that they hear on the radio. We're going to have top talent every week." Christie adds that it's not always the scheduled performers who make nights at Wynn so memorable: "Because of the synergy between all the clubs, we often have nights where all kinds of entertainers and celebrities converge onstage at the same time." Pressed for an example, Christie reaches for a big one: "After Michael Phelps won all those Olympic medals, we held his retirement party at Encore Beach Club. As Michael was coming into the DJ booth to meet David Guetta, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn were walking in as well. All of them ended up in the DJ booth at the same time, jumping up and down to the music. It was three generations of people who had achieved amazing things in their lives." Beyond all the big stuff—like the air-conditioning in the cabanas or the impeccable bottle presentations at XS or the water in the Encore Beach Club pool being turned over every 15 minutes—it's the ability to create an all- inclusive party that really contributes to the ongoing success of the night- clubs and beach club at Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Encore, says Waits. "When big moments take place—like the time that Usher, Chris Brown, and One Direction all came to celebrate Skrillex's birthday at XS—I really feel good to see all the people in the club going crazy, snapping iPhone photos, posting to social media. The stars have aligned and everybody's having a really good time. That is what makes it fun and satisfying to run a club. It's what drew me into this business in the first place." n Encore Beach Club. photography by russell macmasters 66 Wynn nIGhTLIFE SPOTLIGhT
