Encore Boston Harbor

Encore Boston Harbor — Gaming Floor

Encore Boston Harbor stands as the crown jewel of Massachusetts gaming, representing a transformative $2.6 billion investment by Wynn Resorts that opened in June 2019. Located on a meticulously remediated former Superfund site along the Mystic River in Everett, this Forbes Five-Star resort sits just three miles from downtown Boston and has fundamentally reshaped New England’s gaming landscape. The property holds more Forbes Five-Star awards than any other casino in the region, establishing an unprecedented level of luxury for Massachusetts casinos.

The expansive 210,000-square-foot gaming floor showcases Wynn’s signature design philosophy through natural light, botanical installations, and premium finishes throughout every corner. With 3,158 state-of-the-art slot machines spanning penny slots to high-denomination reels, the gaming selection caters to every preference and bankroll. Furthermore, the property features 232 meticulously maintained table games including blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and craps, all operated within a completely non-smoking environment that prioritizes guest comfort.

The dedicated poker room operates with professional dealers and tournament-quality tables, while the exclusive high-limit gaming salon provides privacy and personalized service for premium players. Notably, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission recognized Encore Boston Harbor’s operational excellence from day one, setting new standards for responsible gaming and regulatory compliance. The integration of Wynn Rewards loyalty program ensures players earn valuable benefits across dining, entertainment, and hotel accommodations with every visit.

The 671-room hotel tower represents the finest hospitality offering among Boston Area casinos, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of Boston’s skyline and the Mystic River waterfront. Each guest room and suite incorporates Wynn’s meticulous attention to detail through custom furnishings, marble bathrooms, and cutting-edge technology amenities. The Forbes Five-Star designation reflects the property’s commitment to exceptional service standards, from 24-hour room service to personalized concierge assistance.

Suites range from spacious parlor accommodations to expansive presidential quarters, many featuring private terraces overlooking the resort’s manicured gardens and water features. However, even standard rooms exceed typical luxury hotel expectations with premium linens, designer amenities, and thoughtful touches that reflect Wynn’s hospitality expertise. The hotel’s spa and wellness facilities complement the accommodations with world-class treatments and fitness amenities.

Dining & Nightlife

Encore Boston Harbor’s culinary program encompasses fifteen distinctive dining outlets that rival the finest restaurants in Boston proper. Rare Steakhouse anchors the fine dining experience with prime cuts and an extensive wine collection, while Sinatra pays homage to the Chairman of the Board with classic Italian-American cuisine and sophisticated cocktails. In addition, Overlook Restaurant & Bar provides elevated casual dining with sweeping harbor views and New England-inspired menu selections.

The waterfront boardwalk creates a unique dining destination with multiple casual concepts, outdoor seating, and panoramic water views that transform throughout the seasons. Meanwhile, the Encore Boston Harbor Nightclub delivers premium nightlife entertainment with world-class DJs, VIP table service, and a sophisticated sound and lighting system. The Waterfront Pool & Bar extends the entertainment into outdoor seasons with poolside service, premium cocktails, and private cabana rentals overlooking the Mystic River.

The Forbes Five-Star spa facility spans multiple treatment rooms with therapeutic services ranging from massage therapy to advanced skincare treatments, complemented by co-ed relaxation areas and premium wellness amenities. The outdoor pool complex features a resort-style atmosphere with private cabanas, poolside dining service, and panoramic water views that create an urban oasis experience. Furthermore, the fitness center incorporates state-of-the-art equipment and personal training services for guests maintaining their wellness routines.

The 3,200-seat entertainment venue regularly hosts major touring acts, comedy shows, and special events, establishing Encore Boston Harbor as a premier destination for live entertainment in New England. As a result, the property attracts world-class performers who appreciate the venue’s acoustic design and intimate atmosphere. The public waterfront boardwalk provides community access to the harbor views and creates a welcoming environment for both resort guests and local visitors.

Sports Betting at Encore Boston Harbor

Following Massachusetts’ legalization of sports betting in early 2023, Encore Boston Harbor launched one of the state’s premier retail sportsbooks through its partnership with WynnBET and the Encore Bet platform. The full-service sports betting lounge features premium seating, multiple viewing screens, and dedicated wagering windows strategically positioned to serve New England sports fans. The timing proved perfect for Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins enthusiasts seeking a luxury environment for sports wagering.

The integrated approach allows players to seamlessly manage both retail and mobile sports betting through a single account, with Wynn Rewards points earned across all gaming activities. Notably, the sportsbook’s location within the main gaming floor creates easy access while maintaining the sophisticated atmosphere that defines the Encore Boston Harbor experience throughout the property.

Plan Your Visit

Encore Boston Harbor operates 24 hours daily, seven days per week, with all gaming activities restricted to guests 21 years of age and older as required by Massachusetts gaming regulations.
