What's Included

Casa Playa · the table

Intimate conversations with a curated group of security leaders and the Flare team, kept intentionally small so every conversation counts.

Coastal Mexican · the menu

A custom dining experience built around Casa Playa's coastal Mexican menu: fresh seafood, wood-fired flavors, and a premium agave program.

Encore · the room

One of the best rooms in Las Vegas that isn't a poker table. Casa Playa is Encore's most visually striking venue, and you'll have it to yourself.
Seats are extremely limited and this invitation is non-transferable. If you've received this link, we'd like you there.

Finding Your Way

Getting to Casa Playa

Get to Encore, not Wynn. From the LVCC the Vegas Loop runs straight to the Encore station — or take a ride-share to the Encore main valet off Encore Resort Blvd. Once inside Encore, Casa Playa is in the southwest corner of the casino, by Sinatra and the Encore Beach Club, with the Poker Room and High Limit just alongside.
