Re Tower Suites breakfast, I was not aware that TS includes breakfast.
I just charged breakfast (and pre-11AM lunch) to my room and everything except tips were credited at check-out......just like always with FHR.

"An exclusive entrance, complimentary breakfast for two and twice daily maid service are just a few of the highlights at Encore Tower Suites." Way upstream someone cited all the specifics, but it got lost in the deluge of the Aria credit
Trying to decide between this (can't seem to get TS at Wynn) and MO suite for the Sun- Wed night the week before Christmas. Both are offering the 4th night free. Haven't been for quite awhile (Wynn was under construction ), have done Paris, Venice most recently. After a rough few months, just looking to relax, have a very nice room, and enjoy LV. Not big into gambling (will spend some time with it), we just enjoy walking around the various casinos and observing the excess, taking in a show or two, having a few decent meals (may not have sense of taste back yet so don't want to go all out), maybe one day out hiking.

The FHR credit is just the $40 pp for breakfast...if you book FHR Tower suites, you don't get the "free breakfast". No difference really...

I think I'll go with the MO instead. It's a bit more to get a suite there, but we like the mid-strip location better, and more quiet (read of the louder crowd at Encore). While I don't mind walking a lot might as well be central - I can't see going North of the Encore for any reason.

this may be off-topic. I am staying in theHotel using FHR over the next weekend. One thing I always struggle with in LV is the cab line. I have looked to see if there a reasonably price car service (which is what I always use when i travel) and the only once I found were about $60 for a one way ride, which seems insane for a 10 minute ride from the airport to theHotel. Anyone has a driver recommendation?

Sorry, can't help with your issue but would you please report back on the benefits you received as an FHR! Some recent threads suggest that the breakfast amount per day has gone down to $20.00 pp as opposed to $40.00 pp for a total of $80.00 for two in a room...

I've stayed at THEHotel recently and breakfast is $80 (I stayed with someone and alone and it was still $80). It used to be $20 per person / total of $40, but that changed earlier this year.
P.S. Spending $80 on food alone is tough. I ended up buying breakfast for the couple sitting at the table next to me.

Stayed at the Bellagio this past weekend. Booked through FHR. Was offered the upgrade but sadly I needed a 2 queen bed, non smoking room. So I opted not to take the upgrade. I didn't mind it as I was barely in the room.
Received the usual late check out, breakfast vouchers (which I calculated to be approx $15pp/day for continental breakfast), and the $100 spa/$85 Olive's lunch Credit. Used the credit for Olive's and gave a hefty tip to the server to meet the $85 spend.
No problems here. The Holiday decorations went up this weekend so that was a nice surprise.

Booked Encore Tower Suite via FHR
Upgraded to Parlor Suite at check-in without having to ask.
Front desk also hands you a welcome letter that outlines the AmEx FHR benefits
- 2 x $40 breakfast credit inclusive of in-room dining (I didn't double check the fine print of a non-FHR booking but I guess without FHR maybe the "free breakfast" doesn't apply to in-room dining? - we used in-room breakfast and had to remind them to credit our bill $80 upon check-out as it wasn't automatically done)
-$100 spa credit (did not use)
-4pm checkout upon request (which I requested) - if you don't request 4pm, they give you 1pm
Had a great stay. Booking a "regular" Tower Suite to get upgraded to the Parlor Suite is definitely great. I believe the upgrade for one night pays for the annual platinum fee in itself.

Just arrived at TheHotel today. Busy (fight weekend, National Finals Rodeo and American Country Awards) and the hotel is packed, first time I haven't been offered any upgrade but it's not like the V Suites are that much of an upgrade.
$80/day breakfast will be a challenge with the limited options available
$100 spa
*Most notable though, upon arrival to my room I found a paper bag full of an array of drugs and paraphernalia in the open safe...some sort of new FHR amenity, crack and crack pipe in every room?

Booked 3 V Suites at The Hotel Mandalay Bay for the Thursday night before New Years. I had been checking the FHR website for about a week or so and the rate for this hotel dropped again.
I am hoping that they upgrade at least one of our rooms to an H Suite. I figure, we have a shot since it is only for 1 night.
