For some reason, visiting and staying here gave me two different impressions. When you visit, you just see the casino floor which is pretty but it isn't the best. However, when you stay here, the rooms are BEAUTIFUL and makes you feel so pimp lol the boyfriend called ahead and gave the hotel our preferences of a strip view, which Encore gave us so we got a sweeeeeeet view. PLUS, we got it for such a great rate since Vegas is losing business (bad for them but great for us!) The pool area is nice, the service is great and the look is very modern. You can even check your hotel bill on the TV (dunno if other hotels offer this service) so it's nice to have this extra convenience.
The only con I have about this place is the crappy reception in the rooms. Maybe it's just my service (T-mobile) or maybe it was because we were 25 floors up, but I rarely got service in the room, except when I stood in certain places and there were certain places on the casino floor where I got bad reception too.
