Encore
Bravo, Bravo!Text & Photographs By Shelli Carlisle
Yes, Heaven is real and you can find it at Encore Las Vegas.
Encore is part of the fabulous Wynn Las Vegas. At Encore every room is a suite and each suite is impressive, no detail too small, nothing is overlooked for the perfect hotel stay.
The decor has an Asian influence, which is contemporary, smooth and elegant. The suites range in size from 745 square feet up to 2,261 square feet with a total of 2,034 rooms.
From the moment of arrival, you can clearly see that paradise abounds. Not one, but two valet attendants will run to your vehicle, one to open the passenger door and the other to assist the driver. Next, a welcoming greeting by a doorman with a friendly smile. Our check in process took a whole 12 minutes (I timed it). Impressive. The hotel staff is amazing. Everyone is helpful and takes the time to answer any questions you may have.
The rooms are elegant and very well appointed. The marble entry, plush carpet and dramatic lighting are a few of the things which make the room so inviting. The beds are sumptuous, complete with Egyptian cotton linens, an over-sized comforter and assorted cloud-soft artfully arranged pillows. A 42″ flat screen TV, perfect for viewing from your bed or sitting area features high definition channels. And, the view, oye vay, with wall to wall, ceiling high windows on the 51st floor overlooking the strip… breathtaking.
The bathroom is large with a nice sized soaking tub, separate shower and double vanity. Luxurious robes are available for use during your stay. A smaller television in the bathroom makes it convenient to catch the news as you are preparing for your day. Don’t watch television news? How about the Wall Street Journal delivered to your door every morning. Nice.
The lighting, curtains, and do not disturb are all adjusted by the touch of a button from your bed. Because the rooms are so quiet and the bed so lavish, I had the best nights’ sleep ever. In fact, I was so comfortable, I didn’t want to leave the room.
And, as for the housekeeping services, I have never met a nicer group of people. They all go the extra mile to make sure your stay is the best ever. I always bring my own pillow and blanket with me. The woman who tended to our room, incorporated my things into the bedding, a lovely personal touch. Another treat are the chocolates that were left on our turned-down bed every evening and the comfy slippers beside the bed. And, just like at Wynn, the staff will share what a wonderful man Steve Wynn (they call him Mr. Wynn) is to work for. I believe this is why the service is superior.
As I walked around the casino and then the shops I was overwhelmed by the stunning detail. I couldn’t stop looking at the light fixtures. Then, I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the light fixtures. I wasn’t the only one, everywhere I looked, people were taking pictures of the amazing lighting. The abundance of artful touches is also outstanding. A feast for the eyes. While you are checking things out, take a stroll by the pool. The gardens are refreshing and well manicured. The pool area is a great place to hang out. From the floating lounges, to the poolside bar, no detail has been overlooked. There are also very cool cabanas around the pool, which include all the amenities you need for a memorable day of fun in and out of the sun. Visit at night to enjoy the romantic ambiance.
Encore and Wynn are connected by an indoor esplanade lined with high-end boutiques. Rolex, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dior, just to name a few. All with unique, eye catching window displays. When you reach the end of the Encore walkway, before entering Wynn Casino, you will find the Wynn and Encore showroom theaters. Wynn features a unique and incredible cirque style show called Le Reve. The Encore showroom is home to Danny Gans, Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year.
Superior award winning dining at several upscale restaurants with world renown chefs. You will also find little intimate nooks and cafes that are less formal. And, if you just can’t leave your room, there’s always room service. Yum.
It has been my pleasure to stay at the prestigious Wynn and Encore. Encore is my personal favorite, but both are equally spectacular.
If you want to treat yourself to an exceptional Las Vegas stay, I definitely recommend Encore.
