| - The last time we stayed in Vegas, we stayed at The Wynn, so this time we decided to try the Encore. The staff are wonderful here, and our room was clean. But, there is definitely room for improvement. They need to get better showerheads, we both didn't care for the one in our room. Also, the towels were rather rough, and so was the toilet paper they had. When I travel, I want to feel pampered, and when the towels, showerhead and toilet paper are better quality at home, I do not feel pampered. The red color inside both hotels really got to me this time. The dark red colors felt too heavy and gaudy. They really need to get a better designer in there to revamp the colors and decor. The one thing we loved is that we never had to wait more than about 5 seconds for an elevator, and there was no waiting at registration, or anything else here. But, that is also a sign that it is kind of dead here. There are really no ammenities inside this hotel. The entry doors from the self parking lot, were heavy and hard to open, and they didn't have a switch to open the doors if you are handicapped. The slots were super tight inside, and hardly anyone was gambling there.The tables in the casino are a minimum of $25.00, which I didn't like, because i like to start with $20.00 bets, and work up to about $50.00 to $100.00 per hand. I dropped over $400.00 at blackjack, and only won one hand the whole time, so obviously i quit playing here,and went to another casino. Also, the casino here was dead. I mean none of the casinos are as packed as they use to be, but this one was nearly a complete ghost town. When I go back to Vegas next time, I know we won't even drop in this place again. This place could be a real draw just because of the "Wynn" branding, but now that the economy is so down, I think it needs to be revamped to attract bigger crowds.
