Wynn RFB - what does that really mean?

That's a great offer and it is cool that it is explicit that you have lounge access (which can be worth a lot over the course of a stay) and the special check in. Your can enjoy your first beverages and a snack while checking in and the hours for the lounges are long; 7 am to 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 7 am to midnight Friday and Saturday.

 

Definitely not TMI! I really appreciate the input from someone who's well-versed in how these things work at Wynn. Even in my younger, harder drinking days, I got loaded on copious amounts of beer and not on expensive wine or scotch, so they have no fear there. LOL. But I totally understand why they would want to protect themselves. We will just go and eat what we want when we're hungry, and it sounds like everything will be just fine. Again, thanks very much to all of you for sharing your insight and experiences.

 

Oh sorry, one more thing. You get complimentary pressing of up to 4 items every day for the duration of your trip. Pressed clothes are back in your closet within 2 hours of being picked up. You can leave them in a laundry bag on the back of the door, call the bell desk, and head out. They will be in your closet when you return. You have to pay for laundry but pressing clean clothes is complimentary. Love that perk. No ironing or steaming by you on vacation required!

 

Holy cow, that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know. It works out really well because I'm going to combine this Wynn stay with a conference at the Bellagio later in the week, so Wynn can press my dress shirts and sport coat for me and I can leave the steamer at home. Score!

 

They are located inside the Tower Suites check in areas so unless you are checking into the Tower Suites you would not see them.

On the Encore side the lounge is located just before you get to the Encore Tower Suites elevators.

On the Wynn side there are two doors to the lounge; one is more clearly visible and next to the restroom door in the Tower Suites area. The other door is in the hallway to the left as you are walking towards Wing Lei, right across from the Judith Lieber purse shop. If you open that door you will enter the special RFB check in area. The check in desks are to the right and then the lounge is to the left.

 

I have also never had my host not comp all charges billed to my room that was food and beverage, even when I know that I had low played for that particular trip. And, unlike Aria host, I’ve had the Wynn comp me even when I had a winning trips. As a general guideline, you need 5-6k slot points per day for a regular room and for tower suite around 7 without anything like f&b. The Star you get on your room key in addition to providing access to both the Encore and Wynn lounges, also provides a line pass for the buffet if you are ever interested in trying the revamped buffet. Since you are on comp, you won’t be entitled to the free breakfast at Tableu that paying tower suite guests get, and since you are not paying for any resort fees the internet is not free. Even when I had offers from Wynn hosts that limited f&b to $200 a day, my host has always comped off any overages at the end of my stay, so I do think the language is there as a deterrence from abuse. As I’ve mentioned before in prior postings, my experience is that Wynn hosts comp better with same play than mlife which is strange cause the Wynn is definitely a nicer hotel imo with better restaurants and facilities.

 

If you taking taxi from airport just ask them to drop you off at the tower suite side of Wynn cause they have a separate entrance and then it will lead you to the tower suite checkin which has the lounge.

 

And when you are staying at the tower suite rooms you can’t get your own ice but have to call and they will bring you ice in big container

 

Great offer! I hope you enjoy your stay. We are going for 3 nights on a "WINTRY5" pure teaser from an hour~ of dropin slot play(earned 49XX points). 200/day FB, pano king room, and 1000 freecredit. I am REALLY looking forward to it. We plan to play a bit but not sure living up to the full requirement to get another offer like this again

 

Agree with this and with the general guideline. Given that I was there for a long trip my daily average was less than 7k points per day but still no issue with RFB, even though I was there over NYE, or with spa charges, which most hosts, at any casino, rarely comp. I assume my host factored in my historical level of play but to your point, I also think Wynncore hosts have a fair amount of flexibility.

 

Sweet offer!!!

Also, nearly 5000 points for an hour or two of play is a lot of play, hence the offer, including 1k in free play. Playing a few more points than that over the course of a DAY will keep good offers coming, even if not 1k in free play.

 

Thats great. We only lost $200 in real $ (obviously theo was higher) too, so were very happy with the offer. I have read your trip reports too and am extremely excited to stay at the Wynn. Will be hard to go back to Mirage, Mandalay, etc...so hope we don't have to LOL.

 

In the old days (Stardust, 90’s) RFB meant three meals a day. A meal included app, entree and dessert. Nowadays, most resorts will put a dollar limit. Check with your host.

 

Ah, my white whale. I have chased after Full RFB for 18 years. Never got it though. But my understanding is that it does not just mean 1-2 meals a day. It means you order whatever food and beverage you want on the trip and it's covered. But I would want something more than the advice from the peanut gallery before racking up thousands in 2 pound lobsters, tomahawk ribeyes and bottles of Cabernets.

 

I thought I was doing well with ~11,000 points over my 6 days there last month, but I guess I am super low rolling

I only play Min-$2 a spin, but it takes a long time to rack them up, and keeps me busy most of the night.

Some really great info as always. Thank you

 

You are having a good time for a good while and have a shot winning without risking losing too much. That's a win!

 

It went wrong this trip, as I think at a rough estimate the hold was about 20%

Hopefully I'll get some back in the summer, but if not they have super hot chocolate!

 

I've noticed recently on some reservations in the MGM/Mlife family that there is sometimes a code on the reservation that says "RFBXXXX" where, and I'm just guessing, XXXX is a daily limit/guideline/category. It doesn't show on the e-mailed itineraries but I have occasionally seen it on the web site itineraries when logged in.

 

Yes, that is correct The XXXX is the daily limit
