Stayed here Fri-Sat this past weekend booking through Amex platinum's FHR, and it was a huge hit. We stayed in on the 17th floor with a view of Wynn/Encore, king room, party of 2, for $316 (technically $116 after using Amex platinum $200 yearly hotel credit). Totally worth the stay! Was also super convenient to stay here for a show at the Palazzo theater.
Pros:
- HUGE. ROOM, biggest on the strip. Impressively the suite looked exactly like the photos on their website, with the sunken living room, jack and jill bathroom sinks, huge bathroom with a TV in it, tub AND walk-in shower, a TV across the bed and across the couch.
- Fantastic service from check in to check out - The front desk was super helpful when I called to check in on how many experience credits I still had to use, the check in process was super easy and quick.
- The little details - the cute amenities kit, great automated blackout shades, the tiny TV in the bathroom that you can use when you shower, and the fact that there's never a super long wait for the elevator (not like Luxor! lol).
- Super easy to check your room bill on your room's TV, and very easy checkout process that you can do from your TV or on a kiosk in the lobby.
- I know some people complain about the hotel having a dated aesthetic, but I feel like it fits with the kitschy Italian vibe? Not the worst theme on the strip.
- The Amex plat FHR credit was super easy to use, tons of dining options - we had a great dinner at Grand Luxe Cafe right before going to the Palazzo theater for our show. Had bouchon bakery goods for breakfast the next morning.
- Great professional interactions while gambling in the casino - felt very safe throughout
- not as busy and bustling as the Venetian, which I like
- Separate rideshare pickup area in the lower level valet area, was super easy to get a ride
- They communicated with us beforehand to ask if we were checking in late, to make sure everything was ready by the time we arrived.
- overall super spotless and clean room, bedsheets were comfortable and I slept well in the bed.
Cons:
- The amex FHR list of places to use the credit is a bit inaccurate (Grand Luxe cafe isn't listed on the experience credit but you CAN use it there), and they told me over the phone that grabbing drinks from the fridge would count towards the experience credit, but it did not. So this could be cleaned up a bit.
- Also I wish that the hotel mini fridge was more functional and had larger than a small space at the top to put your own food - you can't move any of the drinks they put in there without getting charged, which is kind of annoying
Otherwise, no complaints. The huge room made for super relaxing vibes during our trip. I'm kind of shocked at the negative reviews here and am bummed people experience otherwise!
