When we go to Vegas we now stay at the Wynn properties, Encore or Wynn.   These hotels are TOP shelf.  They are beautiful and quiet and they rarely have families or children there.  The casinos are large and open and lovely.  \nThe rooms are large and beautiful and the hotel staff is amazing.  From the front desk to the concierge to the cleaning people, exceptional. \nFrom the second you check in they call you by your name, and when you need something at the room they are on it. \nI like that the hotels are at the other end of the strip from places like the MGM which has gone so far down hill and hosts so many children than I can barely stand to go there anymore, even to the casino. \nThe casions at Wynn and Encore have such a great filtration system that you never smell the smoke at all.\nThey have great restaurants, great booze, wine and weight staff including the cocktail waitresses. \nI agree with some of the other reviews that they could use a few more tables for gambling, like Pai Gow, but I think as they become more popular and the economy rises they will do this. \nThe other thing we dont like is the resort fee and that the resort fee does not include using some of the facilities like the weight room and the spa area.  To me if I pay the resort fee than it should give me the priveledge of these areas.  Otherwise you should either up the price of the room or end the resort fee all together, its just obnoxious. \nIts nice that they comped us our meals because we spent so much time at the tables gambling and they were super nice about it all.  \nSo all in all we always have a great experience at these two hotels.  It can be pricey if you go at high times but sometimes you can get some pretty good deals.  \nI highly recommend staying in these two resorts.
