One of my new favorites compared to the Wynn. I would like to say that is definitely a superb choice to your hotel pickings if you consider the following
pros:
- next to Surrender XS and all the young adult clubs 21-35
- beautiful decor and well lit areas for night time prowling
- free valet (but with some annoyance)
- upscale and free of trashiness
- rooms are clean, room service does a great job, well designed
- staff is courteous and professional at all times
cons:
- DO NOT STAY IN A ROOM NEAR THE NIGHT CLUBS, they are EXTREMELY LOUD AND YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP (pool side generally)
- valet is a block walk down from the main entrance
- sports book is a 2 block walk down into WYNN (WTF!)
- room service can be spotty (different employees, different ideals)
- $25 room service fee that should be disclosed
- don't offer free upgrades like other places do
- not very close to the strip, takes a bit of a walk to get to it
ultimately I prefer the Wynn and will know where to stay next time, the Encore is extremely nice and will always be my second choice.
