You will never see me with a copy of People, bc I simply do NOT give a shit if Britney is driving drunk with a babyseat on the hood, but out here, even I love to star watch, and Palms is the palce for it. Good luck has followed me in the casino here also.

So what if it's off strip? Ask for a room in the fantasy tower and prepare to relax.
The bathrooms are massive. The beds are very comfortable. Room service is affordable (!). Casino is big, but feels cozy. Design is comfortable. And the tables are lucky.

It's hip. It's funky. It's pimp. It's The Palms, baby!

I must admit I have a soft spot for this joint. I always seem to win in the casino. Simon at Palms Place is my new favorite Sunday Brunch spot. The clubs here are sexy and always bursting with action.

All in all, this is what the ideal "Ultimate Vegas" casino looks like.

skyvillas and the hardcourt suite are reasons why god invented the American Express Black card. if you ever find out that you are terminally ill and only have 3 days to live, i'd suggest on getting one of the fantasy suites in the new tower and run up your credit cards by partying it up here. service is almost non-existent unless you're royalty from dubai, hollywood celeb, or at minimum a purple chip player. if you are a rap video director, the pool area is the place to be to look for new talent.

A fun place to party. Playboy Club, Ghostbar, Rain, and Moon all have nice views of the Las Vegas Strip. The Palms boasts some of the best restaurants in town, and the best video poker and slot machine odds near the Strip. Stayed in the Fantasy Tower. Furniture looked new. Bed was very comfortable. Flat screen TV. In-room safe. Pool was closed for winter. Biggest downside is you need a car to get to the Strip.

Stayed in the Director's Suite during the AVN weekend in 2010, and took a tour of the one of the suites with the outdoor pool hanging over the hotel. The room was amazing, and we had a great time hanging out there on that Saturday night. The casino was full of energy and I ended up shooting dice with Flavor Flav.

That being said, it was a great place to visit, but I don't think I would stay there for an extended amount of time.

What else is there to say after you acknowledge the fact that this is a step up from the Wynn which was the best hotel in Vegas...make that the US. You just can't get more plush and first class than Encore. Bravo once again Mr. Wynn.

Amazing hotel in a less than perfect location, but no problem if you plan to stay on property. Casino is light and airy, private yet open, and the right mix of high roller meets working joe. Check out the casino by the pool on a hot day for some outdoor fun, and enjoy the music and fake boobs floating by. Rooms are amazingly designed with well thought out touches and the best bed you'll ever sleep on. Bump up to the Tower Suites and feel like you're right at home with better perks and less work.

OMIGD. Who thought it could get better than Wynn. Well, this is amazing, beautiful, the best of the best design, suites.The only thing is I'm not sure of the restaurants. Switch was silly, and I don't remember what I ate.Sinatra was very good, but the atmosphere was too reserved, and very expensive. (SW steakhouse looks inexpensive next to this).Saw Danny Gans again a year ago and he was terrible. The most current thing he did was George Burns. My 20 something kids wanted to walk out. Steve should watch him again, he's dated and seems his voice sounds worn out.I know The Reve has been redone, but seeing it 4 years ago, I didn't like it, and we've seen all the circ's but Ka and love all. I think Wynn is still in search of their entertainment.

THE finest , classiest place in Vegas...period. I got my room after a promo code and my unused resort credit was applied for $264 June6-8! I will stay here every chance I get!!!but will place elsewhere, casino was boring, (but not meant for a low roller like me) and we laugh at anyone who will stand outside in of ANY club (XS) on a Sunday at 2 am, and still try to take themselves seriously. First class all the way!!

I stayed here when I was in the process of buying my condo in town (where I now reside). If I were still living in Orange County, I'd DEFINITELY stay here when visiting! The standard suites are quite spacious at over 700 sq. ft., and they are certainly decorated tastefully and stocked with amazing luxuries like a flat-screen TV in the bathroom and a great lounge sofa in the living room.
And if the accomodations aren't exciting enough, try the food! Sinatra serves classic Italian dishes done perfectly, while Society Cafe is a "gourmet diner" doing luxurious comfort food. Also try Daniel Boulud and Stratta next door at Wynn. Nightlife sizzles here with XS, Blush, and Tryst... And don't you dare miss the fabulous show at Le Reve! For a few extra bucks, the VIP Indulgence package with champagne service during the show is definitely worth it! ;-)

Absolutely amazing. Stayed here in a panoramic tower suite on the 61st floor. The room was much bigger that I anticipated, and the couch area was a very nice touch. The bathroom was equally awesome, except for the standard shower head. I would have expected an upgraded shower head. (silly, I know).

The service was top notch for the entire long weekend, including casino hosts, cocktail waitresses, restaurant servers, check-in, etc. This place blew me away, and I severely doubt I'd stay at a different property.

Place was absolutely amazing! Got a really good mid-week deal to stay in one of the regular rooms and they bumped me up and waived the resort fee so it ended up being a total of 60 or 70 bucks more....totally worth it. We even were hitting on the slots here. Girlfriend won $700, should have been $2,200 is she had max bet. Really liked the breakfast at the place across from the Wynn Buffet.

Together with Wynn Las Vegas is the best Resort on the Strip. Casino is horrible. No free drinks, horrible payoff, and a bunch of frats and half-naked girls waiting on lines to get into the clubs. No Vegas feeling at all...

I was shocked when I walked into the room...OMG....black sheer curtains. I immediately got a funeral home vibe. Brown and ivory striped curtains, black sofa, everything is black, white, cream and brown. Gold and beige laminate walls with black trim around the ceiling, I felt like I was sleeping under a cheap formica table. The only color was a red behind the headboard of the bed. The bed IS very comfy which makes up for the gawd awful room decor. In the bathroom were black and white drawings that looked they were painted on a chalkboard of a nude woman with a big bottom. If I wanted to see that, I'd look in the mirror. On the plus side, the room's flat screen TV swivels so you can see it in the sofa area or from the bed. The bathroom has a TV and is large and has great amenities. The casino is boring, spotty drink service. Expectations for this place were much higher.

Really like the Encore. Awesome view and good resturants. Couple things that botherd me..
1. You can hear the music from Surrender all night, even up on the 34th floor.
2. There was no coffee maker in the room. Coffee was $4 at the bar downstairs.

Other than that I was a great hotel...

Simply put, this is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. Spent two nights in an Encore Suite King with a view of downtown. View was nothing spectacular, but the window let in a nice amount of light and using the remote control for the window shades made me feel VERY classy. Large bathroom with separate bath tub, shower, and a toilet in its own room with door....these always make staying at a hotel that much nicer.

As far as the gaming goes...this is why the Encore will only get 5 stars from me. Most blackjack tables pay out at 6/5 versus the traditional 3/2 when the player hits 21, which makes a big difference in the long run. And if you like wagering on sports, please note that the Encore DOES NOT have a sports book. You'll end up walking 20-25 minutes each way to the Wynn to place your bets, which becomes something of a pain in the neck after you've down it more then three times.

Overall, I had a great time and found that I never had to leave the Encore/Wynn complex over the two days I was in Vegas. And considering that the pools weren't really an option during my stay (cabanas were closed for the season, and it was too cold in late November to swim anyways) I can only imagine how much more enjoyable it would've been during a warmer time of year. If you're looking for high-end opulence, this just might be the ticket.

Beautiful place but, I think it's overrated, gorgeous and spacious rooms but the location sucks and the $25 min tables kinda suck. I guess if you have the money and you would rather spend it on a hotel room then entertainment you cant go wrong. personally I like a better price in a better location.

A bit directionless upon opening, Encore is slowly being retooled for Steve Wynn's new focus on nightlife. Lots of bars, booze, and now multiple pools for you to get your social freak on. That's nice, but the catch is that I just don't like nightlife. While you're clubbin', I'm 30 floors up trying to sleep over the UNTS UNTS UNTS sound of your party.

Formerly a boxcar, downgraded to half a hard eight, thanks to the choking influx of d-bags here for XS and Surrender, not to mention Encore Beach Club. This place had a very brief run as the creme de la creme, before The Steve decided to alienate his elderly (read: over 30) customers and cater directly to the young and heavily leveraged.

The rooms are great. Separate living room. The bed was very comfortable. The Encore property feels smaller than the Wynn, like a small boutique hotel. Wazuzu is a really good Asian restaurant.

I love the Encore casino. I think it has the perfect mix of natural light and color that can really liven the place up. The clientele has gone downhill, however, since the beach club opened.

For a couple of years this was my new favorite place on the strip. Well times have changed. I don't drink Red Bull 24/7. I don't reek of Axe bodyspray. I think wifebeater a-shirts are underwear, not casualwear. I don't have testicles the size of grapes from years of steroid useage.... so obviously I don't fit in with with Encores new demographic. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Too bad the economy took a crap.
