Built for comfort as well as style, the living room features a sexy chaise longue adjoining the traditional couch seating and an oval leather ottoman. There's also a work desk and wi-fi, for which a daily usage rate is charged.
The king-size bed is soft and welcoming, as are the downy pillows. And the bedside control panel -- which operates the lights and drapes -- is a thoughtful touch. We also appreciated the push-button dimmer switches on all of the lamps in the suite.
The only thing we don't like in this suite at Encore Las Vegas is the dreaded 60-second minibar. The evil conception of a revenue-management-crazed geek, these contraptions electronically note if you remove an item and will charge you for it if you do not replace it within 60 seconds. Further, in the refrigerated portion, you may not remove a beverage and replace it with one of your own without being charged as well. Encore Las Vegas is not the first hotel we've seen with this scourge, but we hope it will be the last. To find out more: Slay the Monster in the Minibar.
