I went to Las Vegas for a business conference and stayed at my favorite hotel on the strip, the Encore. You really cannot beat the value of the Encore in terms of a luxury suite (the hotel is all suites) at a great price. The Wynn is also nice; however, you get a normal room for the same price. The standard Encore suite has a great view, a living room with desk and a nice size bedroom with a terrific bed. The bathrooms are large and have a wonderful shower. You really have lots of room and can entertain guests if necessary.

This trip, they upgraded me to a Panoramic View Suite. It was very nice and I love the view at night as the lights of Las Vegas are terrific over 60 floors up. The casino is upscale and not as crowded as other casinos. It was a nice respite after a day of work at the convention.

While, I didn't get a chance this time, the Encore is also great people watching as all of the best clubs are in the Wynn/Encore. Speaking of clubs, the concierge can provide bypass the line passes to guests of the hotel for XS. It is well worth it as the lines are pretty crazy on good nights. Also, they have great celebrity DJs/Bands on the weekend. They had Avicii when I was there.

I have stayed all over the strip; but, I keep coming back to the Encore. It is truly a special hotel that I would recommend to everyone.

If you want to sleep before 4 am forget about this place. The front desk warned me about the noise but she said word for word .. "oh its not much.. you'll just hear the bass line" .. No problem I'm a heavy sleeper .. Ill take it. I went to bed around 12 am with just that little bass line in the background and then I woke up at 2 am to blasting unbearable house music shaking my room. I can literally hear every word in the songs forget about the room shaking bass. I'm located 36 stories up - just imagine how loud that music has to be.

A hotel of this caliber should have fixed this major flaw by now. I stay in Vegas 20+ nights a year and this my first visit to Wynn/encore and obviously my last. Very unhappy about getting woken up in the middle of the night. I don't post often on here so when I do ... it has to be really awesome service or realllllllly bad. In this case the encore is extremely bad.

A call downstairs to ask when i can expect an end to the maddness ended up w her offering me ear plugs.. Waiting for them as I write. We're obviously not the first to complain about this... Surprised Steve Wynn and his attention to such detail would allow a known problem to exist in his hotel. Says a lot about him and his properties. I will no longer be gambling or spending my money at his establishments.

Btw ordered those ear plugs 15 mins ago and still not here...

We had the luxury of staying at the Encore for 5 days last January and February 2012, and the Encore did not disappoint. Got a great room rate through their Red Card program, and we had a blast. Room was so fresh and clean, bathroom was huge, had floor to ceiling glass overlooking the Strip on the 60th floor. The pool area at Encore is closed in the winter, but you are welcome to use the Wynn pool, and we did have some sunny days and spent some time over there. The place and grounds are immaculate, as is the casino area, and so many gorgeous flower arrangements around. Hubby won some points on the slots and we got comped the amazing buffet for dinner, which is huge and food was excellent. My absolute fave spot to eat is La Cave, lovely spot, try for a table outside overlooking the Wynn pool area if you are there for lunch. Can't wait to go back and heading there in a couple of weeks with another family member. Just found out that La Cave has an awesome Sunday Brunch I cannot wait to try.

Perfect weekend getaway. plenty to do even with pool area closed for the winter. Le Reve show was fantastic. We were fortunate to have it in a package price. I would pass on the buffet unless you can eat alot of food.It was very good, just overpriced. The room was really a 5 star room. Spacious and all the amenities you would expect from a five star hotel. Only minor issue is that although the room was a non-smoking room, the floor was not.
