All right, all right, we don’t have to pick just one. Surely we can settle on 10 biggest casinos in Vegas and let everyone have a moment in the spotlight!
Ready to find out where each of the famous Vegas casinos land when it comes to their size? Here we go!
#1 Wynn/Encore: The Biggest Casino in Las Vegas
All right, we know it would be more exciting to do a countdown starting with the tenth place but we don’t want to keep you in the dark for too long. So we’re kicking it off with the actual biggest casino in Las Vegas: Wynn/Encore!
- Casino surface area: 191,424 square feet
- Number of rooms: 2,716 hotel rooms at Wynn Las Vegas + 2,034 suites at Encore = 4,750

Separately, Encore is a hotel tower with 48 floors and 2,034 rooms, while the resort stretches over 72,000 square feet (6,700 m2). Wynn, on the other hand, has 45 floors, 2,716 rooms and is located on 111,000 square feet (10,300 m2).
Combined, however, Wynn/Encore is the largest casino in Las Vegas bar none. The sister casinos, both owned by Wynn Resorts, together boast more than 1,800 slot machines and 180 table games, including baccarat, blackjack, craps, roulette, and different types of poker (from pai gow to Ultimate Texas Hold’em).
The casino is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it is said to be one of the most luxurious casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. Truly, getting to experience the glitz and the glamour of that calibre in vivo is one of the biggest advantages of gambling in a land-based casino.

What’s more, there are more than 2,500 slot machines and 160 table games at the MGM Grand, including baccarat, blackjack, roulette, craps, and plenty of different types of poker, like Texas Hold’em and Let It Ride.
