I want to give it a 5 but for some reason i can't do it.  I loved it there.  We had such a great time.  The staff is SUPER friendly and helpful.  That includes our initial call for reservations, calling the front desk with in-room questions, and all the other hotel interaction we had.  We booked a King Suite... initially they had problems when we checked in trying to locate an available room to match our reservation.  I thought this was odd but the front desk seemed confident they could figure it out and they did within about 10 minutes.  I didn't mind the wait and it helped that they were apologetic about it.  I didn't seem like a number, even though I really was for such a huge property.  The room was great.  Remote lights, blinds; TV in the bathroom; swivel big screen covers the living room and bedroom.  The bed was one of the most comfortable I've experienced.  The gym was ok... we liked the one we went to at the Palazzo next door on one day so I think we were comparing it a lot.  I did like that the gym was in the spa area and the bathroom facilities were unreal.  I think one of the biggest reasons I can't give this place a 5 is simply the location.  Its at the end of the strip and a bit far from many attractions.  Not that its so bad... there is plenty to do in the hotel and the immediate area.  I just would have liked to be more central.  I would definately stay again.  But if I found similar deals and had to choose between say the Bellagio and Encore, I would probably just stay at the Bellagio based on location.
