text: I swore I was not the Vegas type until I actually went there and realized just how awesome it is to spend a few days in a town where everyone has one goal to have as as much fun as possible The Encore proved that my perceptions about everything in Vegas being sleezydirty and tasteless do not always hold true This place exudes luxury and class while being just over the top enough that it is unmistakingly Vegas nThe lobby and Casio areas are a delight for the senses overflowing with natural light beautiful bright tiles butterfly wall hangings that are out of a fairytale and the gentle not overwhelming ping ping of slot machines being played When we got to our rooms we could not help but do a little dance accompanied with shrieks of excitement The folks at the encore thought of everyhting And I mean everything The standard rooms are huge and feature a separate living room section with a wrap around sofa and a deluxe bathroom that was almost as big as my studio apartment The fun extras included lights and blinds operated by remote control an iPod dock fluffy white bathrobes huge flat screen TV and of course the well stocked and overprices minibar Honeslty this was by far the most amazing hotel room I have ever been in Modern sexy and plenty big for pre and post partying nThe customer service at The Encore was top notch from beginning to end We were checked in quickly and the woman at the desk did not mind in the least when halfway through the check in process we decided that we should all be on the same floor We ordered room service several times and I even called the concierge early one morning when I was in desperate need of some hangover assistance befire I showed my face they were up to me room in minutes flat with Visine The free drinks in the casino were pretty easy to come by even when I was sitting at the penny slots a sure giveaway that you are only there for said free drinks nTop to bottom start to finish The Encore is an amazing hotel and worth the few extra bucks as compared to other popular places in Vegas The only reason I was not able to give it the elusive stars is because of it is location on the strip and the high prices at all of their bars and restaurants The tlocation would not bother me so much because that solved by a quick cab ride but it is tough to escape those high prices when you cannot duck out to another hotel easily
