Life is really, really good at Encore. We have been there multiple times and just recently returned for another visit. We got an early check on (requested ahead of time) and received a beautiful suite located in a quiet area, on a high floor (just as requested). Check in was easy, although there was a bit of a wait. Once you are in your mini "apartment" (this is what I refer to it as bc you have a doorbell and the entry way is HUGE), you can fully relax and escape from the commotion of the strip. The room itself lacks nothing (except maybe a coffee maker?!) and is super comfortable. The bathroom is gorgeous. The sitting area is comfortable and separate from the "bedroom" area. The whole suite can be managed by your bedside i-pad like station (closing curtains, turning on lights, etc.). High tech for a hotel room. I love staying here because it feels more like a high end boutique hotel, rather than a huge, ultra modern city like Aria. We did prefer the pool at the Wynn and went there instead (a little walk through the lobby- not bad) because it was more relaxing than the European or general pool at Encore. We loved our visit and will definitely stay here again!
