| - The Encore is as high class as you can get in Vegas. Some of the best restaurants and best night clubs in the world are in this hotel. You will not find many families with kids here, this hotel is for the singles and couples without children folks. XS and Surrender and Encore Beach Club are the night/day clubs here and if you have ever been to any of them you know that they have some of the best parties in Vegas. The amenities at Encore are outstanding, the pool is luxurious, the suites are large and spacious, the golf course is amazing(from what I've heard) and the view from the rooms is breathtaking!
However, I have one gripe, which probably was a one time thing, I'm hoping. I had reserved a double queen suite for Memorial Day Weekend two months in advance, but when I got there to check in they told me they gave my room away and it was "first come first serve". You can just imagine how pissed off I was. I'm not paying $400 per night to argue with the hotel front desk about what I reserved and what they think I reserved. I even showed them the email confirmation that showed I reserved a double queen suite(the regular single queen suite is almost half the size of a double queen suite and costs $50 less per night). The girl at the front desk and her manager refused to acknowledge that the single queen suite was $50 less and obviously played dumb. After some arguing, I finally convinced them to knock off the $50 per night. At that point it was all about principle. If you are going to give away my room that I reserved 2 months in advance the least you can do is give me the correct price of the smaller room? For a Five star hotel, the front desk employees should be able to recite the pricing on the website from memory. The next day a double queen suite opened up and we moved to the new room which was much much more spacious, which is why I reserved it in the first place.
Other than that misunderstanding(it was the busiest weekend of the year), the Encore is top notch and I would stay there again just because it is one of the three nicest hotels in Vegas, hands down!! One thing I forgot to mention, if you are staying there and want to party at Encore or Surrender or EBC, just talk to the concierge and ask if you can get tickets. Most of the time those parties are sold out, but if you are staying at the hotel you get privileges! Also, if you don't get one of the high end suites, I highly recommend the double queen suite. It has so much more room and square footage than a king suite.
