Upgrading meant eliminating the Resort Fee, so it was a simple $10/night to upgrade to the Tower Suites (which gave us exclusive pool access, free in-room breakfast served daily, private elevator, etc.). Given there are two of us, the free breakfast justifies the $10 no problem.
Happy with the cheapness of the options. But, assume this is because we're arriving mid-week in the Summer.
Nice one - this is indeed the best strategy at Wynn/Encore if you want an upgrade. A lot less tacky than handing over a bill or 2, which inevitably gets handed back anyway at the Wynn properties.
