text: I am writing this review as I am about to embark on another LV journey with the girls A bit ago me j went on a LV trip first time going with an other without a group of my girls was sad they were not therennTruth is I do not really know how to gamble I hate buffets So for a person like me i go to Vegas for the lavish hotels morning mojitos the tricked out pools and the like Encore provided just that Anyone that has walked through Encore knows that the colorful interior with the mosaic tiles and slightly asian inspired subtle decor makes for sophisticated without crossing the line over to gaudinessnnThe spa lounge area can see it when one is crossing over to the XS pool area is soo pristine i wished my gfs to be there they would have gotten excited about it more than J The pool itself has two sections One is directly connected to the spa and on the other side is the European style xs pool although we did not see more than brazen topless women it was a big area for sunning and playing blackjack same area they do at nighttime at the clubnnnAs for the rooms we had requested a quiet suite since Encore is known to have loud music coming from XS at in the morning so we got a north facing room Not the greatest view just small strip plaza but the King Suite which is the smallest room at Encore I believe was pretty spacious for peoplennAnother thing I do not know if anyone else notices but the music they constantly play in the casino is by Kaskade I have heard at least Kaskade songs during this stay and I remember hearing her years ago when i was in this hotel as well and i actually went home to look up who this artist was and has made a permanent spot on my ipod playlist For those that know of this artists work it adds a serene element to the casinonnOne of the only negatives to EncoreWynn properties they are so damn far from everything else We spent most of the trip at this hotel except for the dinnershow which we cabbed to Bellagio but the cab driver insisted taking some freeway looking road to get from Encore to Bellagio due to traffic nnThey sometimes send deals over one that i got in the mail which was nights for incl weekends Except J threw it away and we did not get to use it So if you get one in the mail take the offer This place will be worth your stay
