by Esquire Magazine

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Society Cafe Encore, the
innovative American restaurant located inside Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, has
been named one of the "Best New Restaurants in America" by Esquire magazine
(November 2009).

The restaurant, featuring a menu of creative American cuisine by Chef Kim
Canteenwalla, is the only Las Vegas restaurant to receive this honor this
year. The annual Esquire list is written and compiled by world-renowned food
writer John Mariani and features the magazine's recommendations for the best
new restaurants nationwide.

"I'm delighted and humbled that Esquire selected Society as a place that
stands out on the dining scene," says Canteenwalla. "There are many great new
restaurants and we're thrilled to be acknowledged amongst this distinguished
group."

Society is known for its fun signature dishes, regardless of the time of day.
Guests start with fresh pretzel bread and house-made grainy mustard butter and
progress to the restaurant's favorite dishes. These include lunchtime's
lobster roll club with pancetta and avocado and grilled chicken salad with
cherries, figs, pears, cashews and a pomegranate vinaigrette. There is also a
section devoted to sliders including the BBQ filet mignon, charred rare tuna
and "sloppy Joe" options.

The popular mac 'n' cheese bites with truffle dipping sauce and the grilled
artichoke with chipotle spiced dip are two great ways to start dinner. Choose
from main courses such as bone-in cowboy rib-eye with peppercorn rub and
potato and bacon hash, seared ahi tuna with togarashi spice and cucumber shiso
salad and grilled jidori chicken breast with Yukon mashed potatoes. Diners can
top off their night with the restaurant's coveted warm donut bites.

Chef Canteenwalla partnered with Elizabeth Blau and Sean Christie to open
Society at Encore. Blau has helped establish Las Vegas as one of the country's
finest culinary destinations, while Christie is credited for changing the
profile of Las Vegas nightlife.

"I'm honored to be a part of this impressive list of restaurants," adds Blau.
"I love reading John's selections every year to find new culinary treasures
whether in big cities or remote locations."

Society Cafe Encore has quickly become the choice of locals, tourists and
celebrities for power outings during breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Society
Bar provides a great spot for a cocktail with its creative drink list and
extensive mojito menu. Society is open Sunday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to
11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Reservations are
encouraged and can be made by calling (702) 248-DINE (3463) or (888) 352-DINE
(3463).
