We've stayed at almost every hotel on the strip at one time or another, and Vegas hasn't won my heart for the past ten years. After not being here for a while we ended up coming back again and decided to book the Encore. The check in was seamless, we arrived about 5pm, walked straight up to the desk without a wait and were greeted by a great check in agent. Mark made sure we had the highest floor available with the best view, the top floor actually, 63, and it was amazing. You don't have to walk through a mile of the casino to get to the elevator, it's right around the corner from the check in desk, which is just inside from the valet. The room was calming and comfortable with a beautiful big bathroom and a view of everything from floor to ceiling windows. It was so quiet, big comfortable king bed, nice robes, big TV. The casino in the hotel is small which suits me, unfortunately smoke, but not as bad as most, there were a few little pockets, we found that we could sit for a while and play, and they were good machines. The drink service was great, they were attentive and came by often to check that we were OKAY and the house wine was actually really decent. I would definitely make this my place to come back on any future trip.
