Encore, Mandarin Oriental or Vdara?

trying to decide on where to spend our anniversary weekend at the end of May
Vdara is ~$900 all in
and the other 2 are $1200 ish

never stayed at Wynn or M.O.


what say you?

 

Mandarin. Have Sunday brunch at Mozen.

 

strongly considering it, how far is the walk to the nearest casino?
K barely plays $100/day at the BJ tables

 

5 minute walk to Aria.

 

cool, thx

 

Encore. Haven't stayed at MO but enjoyed the spa there (Chinese foot treatment) and afternoon tea there in April. Lovely experience but the Encore spa is a far superior to MO's IMO. Not just size but sheer beauty. I love Qua and Encore blew me away. I also absolutely loved my Encore Tower Suite experience. I'm now hooked and will be paying four nights to stay there even though I can have my entire trip comped between CET and Cosmo. Gaming of course is right there but given that Encore is quieter than Wynn it is crazy. Pools are fabulous as well. Too cold for me to enjoy in early April but I visited them to check out the scene. Plus you can catch a show right there, either Le Reve or Showstoppers. Saw the former many years ago and enjoyed it. I highly recommend the latter. I've now seen the show twice in five months and enjoyed it both times.

 

I've stayed at Aria and Encore. I prefer Wynncore as a property in terms of rooms and casino vibe. But some people don't like how far Wynncore is from everything else, that does not bother me. In fact I like the walk.

I've read that MO is a nicer hotel room than a standard Encore room. To me if you want to be near center strip it's a no brainer.

 

Brunch at Country Club at Wynncore is very nice and with jazz music on Sundays. I enjoyed the Sunday brunch during my April trip as well.

 

Is it memorial day weekend? That mine also!

 

Is that where we had brunch together? If so, frank, it's real good with unlimited champagne.

 

Indeed, it is.

 

yeah and there must be a convention that weekend, because the weekends before and after are half the cost
thinking about doing an early celebration
can't get divorced in a week, LOL

 

How about you bring your wife out to the Atlantis instead? Ours is the 25th for our 12 year. Dinner on you!!

 

pffht, not leaving our kids with her psycho Greek mom longer than humanly possible *shudders*

 

Ok fine, I will buy dinner! Is that a negative? :evillaugh

 

if you go to Atlantis bring the kids....

Well worth it to bring kids to Atlantis.

 

no I hate my MIL, plus my Aria host just said he'd comp the weekend before if I play

 

Atlantis>Vegas? Just dooo it.

 

broh?, I hear you maybe after school gets out?
when your kid starts school it'll make sense

 

Does daycare count as school? Lol
