What do you guys suggest for shopping? I defintely plan on paying Tourneau a visit (daddy wants a new Bell & Ross) but is there much in terms of outlets and whatnot?

Thanks again!

... Be sure to bribe the desk attendant for a better room. No, I am not kidding! Put a $100 bill (or $50 or whatever you want) folded under your license when they ask for it and just push it forward and when they see it say "are there any complimentary upgrades available". Check the rooms out online because they will likely ask what you want... so you need to know enough to say "A deluxe suite" (or whatever the rooms are called). The desk agents have a lot of latitude to grant this request, and the money makes it likely to happen. About an 80% chance of success. Gotta be reasonable with the $$$ though... if you're staying for 5 days in a $100/night room, and a suite is $300/night, you're basically asking for $1000 worth of freebie... so a $20 ain't gonna cut it... but you could drop a c-note on it and still come out $900 ahead.

My wife and I, frequent Las Vegas visitors but new to the Encore, got caught in the front desk "upgrade scam"; We were told that for $50 dollars extra we would be upgraded to the "Tower Suites" We were promised a suite with floor to ceiling windows, private entrance, separate pool (this pool is located all the way in the Wynn a long walk in wet bathing suits) Sounded like a great deal so we did it. When we left our room we decided to see what the room we were scheduled to get looked like. You guessed it, the room was exactly the same. It was a suite, with floor to ceiling windows. In other words, they got us. I can't believe Steve Wynn condones this. He seems like such a great guy who really changed the face of Vegas with the opening of the Mirage. We were so pissed at being taken we checked out the next morning and went to another hotel where they know how to treat customers. Front desk manager was overwhelmed with irate customers when we went down to complain. The place is gorgeous but they have a lot to learn about taking advantage of customers.

i just got back from vegas a few weeks back, i stayed at the flamingo, which was nice, the first thing they asked me when i checked in was what type of bed i wanted, king or queen, i asked for the king, but the clerk noticed that all of the rooms with a king available didn't have a view of the strip, and actually offered me a queen with a nice view overlooking the strip, which i took. as far as the rooms out in vegas, i was in mine pretty much from about 2 til 7 or 8, so for me, the room didn't matter that much.

sorry for the crappy picture - my room had a screen on the outside, but it wasn't bad in person.
