| - Beautiful rooms. We stayed in 1827 for three nights in December 2013. It's on the quieter side of the hotel and has a nice view (see my pictures). I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Encore. It's a smaller hotel on the north side of the Strip, so if you're looking for something with a lot of casino action, then this is not the place for you. It has a few high end shops in between Encore and the Wynn hotel. It's a easy, quick walk to the Wynn.
The room has a large bathroom with separate bathtub and shower and an additional door for the toilet. There is a large closet with a luggage rack and small safe (set your own combination). We had a large king bed that was very comfortable and more importantly, the pillows were soft and fluffy. There is several dressers for your clothes, a mini-fridge with all sorts of drinks and a mini-snack bar. Towards the end of the room, there's a nice couch and a desk and chair. Then, there's the large bay window so you can view Vegas! The TV swivels 270 degrees, so you can watch it either from the bed or the couch.
Everything is top notch - room, service, concierge, interior, casino, restaurants, and clubs. The only thing that wasn't in service when we were there was the pool. It was drained and closed. I would imagine the hotel was preparing for Christmas and New Year's.
I liked the fact that the parking lot is right next to the hotel entrance, so you don't have to walk a mile in order to reach the casino/hotel entrance. If you have a car, like we did, then it's an easy drive to all the other hotels on the Strip and to the old downtown Vegas (which I heard has been improved tremendously).
At Encore, you will most likely be charged the $25 resort fee on top of the room rate. You may be able to find better rates on hotwire, hotels.com or priceline rather than going to the encore website.
