I stayed, gambled, and partied at Encore during the Halloween weekend. I must say, this is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Granted, I've never stayed at a 5-star hotel before, but I feel you cannot ask for more. \n\nGambling: The roulette table was so much fun. My friend Jose spilled his drink on the table and nobody even yelled at him or made him feel bad. They just cleaned it up and joked about it. So cool. Also, as a first time customer, they gave me and my friend Carlo $20 to play the slot machines. We ended up winning over $100 collectively from that.\n\nPool: European. Nuff said.\n\nRoom: OMG. So nice. My phone had my name on the LCD. The room had a doorbell. Next to my bed was a control panel that could close or open the curtains! Swivel flat screen TV. Floor to ceiling windows. Tub and shower. Dual sinks. Amazing concierge service.\n\nNightclub: XS and Surrender are both at Encore. Surrender was awesome, but XS, I cannot explain how nice this nightclub is. You have to go to find out. It was expensive ($50 cover and $500 bottles), but hey, it's Vegas. It's expected.\n\nFood: Ate at the Wynn buffet. Incredible. Although I prefer hot crab legs over cold ones. It was fresh nonetheless.
