"Vegas With the GF" TR

[GP7787]

Ok. This may bore some but in the end it’s a trip report.

June 13th-June 16th.

Flew in Monday and stayed at the Encore Tower Suites. If anyone is looking at either the Wynn or Encore do yourself a favor and look into the Tower Suites for both hotels. They are little extra coin but worth every penny + there is technically no resort fee and you end up paying for the separate entrance, separate check-in and separate elevators.

Set up transportation through Encore concierge and got more than expected. AWG (Alan Waxler Group) was professional, on-time and helpful. I was expecting to get a town car but instead we were picked up in an Escalade (both pick up and drop off @ airport). Recommended. Shout out to Chris Michael from concierge for dinner reservations and transportation.

Ate at SW Steakhouse and I really don’t have much to say, honestly. Really busy and overpriced. Waiter was nice but again too busy to BS a bit. $50 corkage is pretty damn steep even for the WynnCore restaurants. I had a better filet over at the Circus Circus Steakhouse. Now Stratta in Wynn was way better than expected. David, the manager, waived the corkage and talked to us for a good 10 minutes. The Veal Parmagiana was delicious. The bill at Stratta was half the price of SW and it was 10X better!

Monday night me and the girly hit up both XS and Marquee. IMO, XS>Marquee. Shouts to Ryan Perrings… Hooked it up with guestlist and we got right in. Thanks again, Ryan! Marquee was packed and the lines were long. Luckily I know someone who works there and she got me on the employee guest list with two free drink ticks. Anyways, both were tight but XS is a notch above Marquee. Tuesday thought about Blush but ended up goin to Lion King and kicked it in the room after. Then Wednesday night went to Stratta and then gambled till early morn.

The pools at Wynn/ Encore are some of the best, especially the European pool @ Encore. Good music, great drinks, and good atmosphere.

That’s it! I’m already looking for a time to go back. I was overly impressed with the Encore Tower Suites and have not seen better service. I will definitely get back whenever possible.

Shouts to iRock also...Hope Reno treated you well...

UPDATE: Added the Tower Suites amenities card photo. 4 press's/ day and never took advantage!

Looks like you were right below us. We were staying in 6324 for the past two weeks. At the pool everyday tbh.

Was the consistent highlight of our trip and my new favourite game is spot the hooker

Visited both clubs on my last trip for the first time and I felt the same way also.

If I wasn't a broke college student, I'd stay at the Encore every trip. Steve Wynn knows how to build a casino.

IMO you can't go wrong with either one on any night they're open. Just great clubs. Comes down to what type of music you prefer and who's spinning on a particular night.

Encore is so damn nice but it's too damn expensive a lot of the times - for next weekend I got Palazzo for half the price of Encore. I mean it's nice but c'mon

I couldn't agree with you more. On the DJ note I thought I would like Eric DLux's style but didn't..

I found a ridiculous deal through WynnCore itself and I acted on it. The timing was perfect. I graduated and got a little money which definitely helped.Anytime I can find any type of deal at WynnCore I will surely look into a trip.

Whats great is that my funds aren't affected by gambling much because of my roots in Reno. I got to see people lose money all the time growing up. Although I do play the mutli-slots at the bars (no comped drinks at WynnCore bars..ROUGH)

WynnCore is still my favorite and I jump on deals as well. Couldn't resist this Palazzo deal (~200 a night on a holiday weekend).

I've used priceline twice for 5 star north end and got Wynn once and Palazzo the other time
Yeah the few locals I know don't seem big on gambling

Stayed at the Venetian in October and thought it was perfect for the situation..3 guys lookin for a big enough room. This trip obviously was with the girly so the Encore made total sense. Each trip is always different which is why Vegas can be so fun.

Yea that's why I go so much. Next weekend will be my 3rd trip this year. 1st 2 had completely different groups. Next trip has some of the same people as the 1st but some new ones too

Thats why I'm starting to go more...I'm hella close so why not..The differing groups is cool to because each one has its own dynamic.
