you do get the 2 daily breakfast credits and one time lunch credit... I was able to use the buffet for 3 people for both days and ended up being $140 w/ tip EACH TIME but did not see it in the folio checkout... front desk agent said they took care of everything.. Used the lunch credit for $120 worth of drinks and appetizers and did not see it on the bill either.

All-in

Any information regarding booking with a regular plat. card would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I just stayed at the Salon Suite in the Wynn. If you are "going to be 7-8 guys in the room" you might be in for a rude awakening. Although you say it is "1950 sq ft" (it's actually 1817 sq ft, according to the hotel itself), there is one bedroom and one living room. That's it. The living room is simply very large. There are no pull-out couches, and because of the furniture in the living room you cannot fit a roll-in bed in there. Maybe you can have a camp-out in the room with the guys - and they can sleep on the floor, in the bathroom (which is big too) or on a couch - but you can't put 8 people in there. Not close.

If you want to fit more people in a room - go to the Trump. Their one-bedroom suites are smaller than the Wynn Salon Suite, but still very large, they have a full pull-out couch with sheets and pillows, and the second bathroom has a full shower. The Wynn's "second bathroom" is just a toilet and a small sink.

About the $100 credit: If you are NOT booking with Amex, you get $75 credit. Everyone does. The hotel gives everyone $75 credit, with amex you just get $25 more. That said, it cannot be used for retail, gambling, or tips (or alcohol, but I don't think this is enforced). I actually used it for dinner which was $73 and a $17 tip - so my bill was $90 (which was $10 below my $100 credit). You would think that my dinner bill would have been deleted from my account, since I had a $100 credit - nope. I had to pay the $17 since it was a tip, and the credit does not cover tips. Asking 2 more people would not do anything. Same with the lunch credit: I was under the limit, but they insisted on me paying the tip, which they all confirmed was not included in the "free lunch".
I guess you can't knock a free gift, but just keep in mind that they will ask you to pay the tip when you check out.

You can either use the $100 credit on more food, or else on the spa.

So, there's a $75 resort credit in addition to the normal FHR benefits, for everyone? Even us lowly Plats? Funny no one has mentioned it before.

No.....

If you are on the "free deal" is the $100 resort credit the same as the one-time lunch credit or is that separate? I think that is what heathriel was asking, but it's still not clear if those are different.

Interesting. Do you know if any of the salon suites have 2 beds or are they all 1 King bed?

And besides, sleep will be overrated for this little adventure. After all, we're in Vegas...sleep will be 4-5 hrs/night (if at all) and napping at the pool. At least that's how it was last time we all went...

S.Bling

One king bed.

Honestly, in your case, I would look into either a different type of suite (not so "high ranking" as the Salon, but more useful to you) or else another hotel.

Unless you are taking turns on the bed, or the guys are so drunk that they will sleep in an armchair/couch, or on the floor of the bathroom (which is carpeted) - you will have 2 people happy to get their 4-5 hours rest, and the other 6 guys walking around like irritable zombies.

Why not try a smaller suite which has a couch to sleep on? Is there a reason you need the salon suite? It won't serve any of your purposes.

Two junior suites would be better, and even 2 of them will cost half of what the Salon suite will...

S.Bling

Free deal or no free deal - there are 2 things you are mixing up:

1. lunch credit - as I explained, this is $90 per room. Not $100, not $75. Tips not included.

2. $100 resort credit for Centurion holders. This is what heathriel asked about - regarding the $75 resort credit that the hotel gives everyone.
And others have pointed out that her question is answered clearly in my previous statement: Everyone gets $75 if you DON'T book through Amex. If you DO book through Amex, you get $100 - so your "extra" benefit is $25.

Just FYI - you have to show a room key all day long to get to the elevators. And security seems to have a very short term memory - they ask to see my key less than 15 minutes later, when I realized I forgot something in my room. Might be a hassle for 7-8 people.

jammanxc

you only have to flash a room key in the late evening hours

S.Bling

Was never asked to show a key, and never saw them ask anyone else. People kept going to the Tower Elevators all day and night, and the armed guard either said "hello" or nothing at all.

I began to question the level security at one point - so my experience was 180 degrees opposite to yours.

its possible.. there are 2 couches (2 guys), one massage room (1 guy), take the king mattress and seperate it from its boxspring, voila, the rest of the guys can sleep on the matress & the boxsprings... usually the boxsprings are padded in these high end hotels.

i don't know anyone who naps in a pool..... i know i'll be at the topless pool area w/ the cabanas
