Hotel

This thread is to be used to discuss hotel accommodations at Wynn/Encore.

Too snooty for my taste. I much prefer Venetian/Palazzo.

Beware the little tray with goodies on it...they are all remote sensored to auto-bill you if you (re)move them! Maybe you can try the Indiana Jones trick :)

In late 2008, I received offers from both Wynn's/Encore and Venetian/Palazzo for free nights. Since I had never been to either place, I was surprised I was on their mailing lists. In fact, the Venetian offer was good for multiple stays before 6/1/09. I was fortunate enough to be able to get to Vegas several times last year and was able to take advantage of the offers.
Wynn's did not seem 'snooty', or at least no more than the Palazzo. The Encore was deserted while I was there. However, all the dealers/staff were very cordial, and one even suggested I try a different game during an amazingly 'cold' spell at the craps.
I would stay at either place again. However, of the two complexes, the Venetian/Palazzo had the nicer (mainly because they are larger suite type) rooms. The self parking at the Palazzo is the most convenient of any place I've been in Vegas.
BTW- Even after joining their Players Club, I have not received any offers for more free nights. I did gamble at least 4 hours each day, but usually at the minimums at craps and BJ. As I said to my wife while there, "We better enjoy this, as once they realize we aren't green/black chip players, they won't give us these offers again".

I should clarify: When i said 'snooty' i just meant that the place is expensive. When i stayed there I did all my dining/gaming elsewhere except for some $1 video poker.

boymimbo's review of the Wynn, which used to be found here, was so good that it was moved to the official Wynn review.

Great review, I see you used the Wizard's format. Perhaps he will post it on this site?

That was generous of them to comp your food charges, nice to see some places still do discretionary comps.

Did you utilize the pool or any of the spa facilities?

The Wynn pool was under renovations and the weather was not warm enough to use. We did not use the spa facilities.

The discretionary comp was a surprise. We were told to go see the casino host on our third night. We asked him if we could have a dinner comp at Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare and they denied me. I asked if we were even close and he shook his head.

upper tier strip hotel (Harrah's, Bellagio, Venetian).

One of these things is not like the others
One of these things just doesn't belong

Harrah's -- sorry. Maybe I meant the Paris.

Great review, thanks! I would indeed like to use that as the official Wynn review, with your permission. I'm also willing to pay you something for your trouble. Please write to me directly via the contact form to discuss.
