hi.

There has been no problems whatsoever on my last visit. Getting the whole area free of people will be more difficult as lots of people walk by but getting close up shots will be easy


I personally found mornings better as there are fewer people around to accidentally walk into your photos

Easier to ask forgiveness rather than permission. I'm not a photographer but I see people taking selfies and photos of friends on the casino floor often. Years ago cameras on the casino floor were strictly policed and a few times I saw signs posted in the walkway to casino that filming was taking place at certain hours and by entering, you gave consent.

I'd just avoid including people without their permission. At worst, delete the photos as needed.

Update: I did the Tower upgrade and we definitely enjoyed it. I appreciated the valet parking right next to check-in and the elevators so that you don't have to travel the length of the casino floor to get to your room. (Granted, the Wynn casino floor seems quite a bit smaller than other casinos I've stayed in.) Yes the rooms are identical to the regular rooms, but I liked the turn down service and the additional amenities and the $50 breakfast credit, which is good at several restaurants. We had a lovely breakfast in Tableau on our last morning. I was very impressed by the service. It was professional and attentive. I had to rush out to a morning meeting and asked if they could expedite our meal - which they did with remarkable speed, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely breakfast even though I was pressed for time. I had no trouble taking photographs either. I mostly stuck to the lobby, the floral arrangements and the carousel. A good trip.

I'm considering the Tower options at Wynn and Encore and wondering about any possible pros and cons between the Tower amenities at the two hotels. I've read about the pool tradeoffs and think I am okay with Encore on that measure, and I prefer the decor at Encore.

But, what is the Tower complimentary coffee setup for Encore Tower Suites? It's a small thing but it can be such a hassle to get coffee in the morning in Vegas that it is a point of interest for me. I understand from other posts that Wynn Tower Suites comes with free coffee at Tableau restaurant; does Encore Tower Suites require trekking over there to get coffee or is there another setup in the Encore lobby? And any idea what the operating hours are? (I'm assuming that like most other Strip resorts, but unlike most other hotels in the US, there is also not a free coffee maker available in the room?)

Also, any other non-obvious pros and cons to the Tower setups in either property? I see that it looks like there is a dedicated Tower bar in the lobby at Wynn but maybe not at Encore?

Thanks!

It's been a while and pre COVID but the complimentary coffee was at the bar/restaurant entrance. Just self service urns.

I've only stayed on the Wynn side but the main plus to the towers is that you tend to have older, quieter neighbors and the elevators had shorter waits and were less crowded. Needless to say, I'm a tower fan after a poor experience with the regular.

Hi,
Agree with AFAM-DFW
I think also ( been a couple of years) the free coffee was until 830am.

When I stayed at the Encore Tower, the free breakfast was room service whereas at the Wynn towers it was in Tableau.

Loved the location of the Wynn towers elevators ( practically beside the entrance to the Towers pools)

Thanks both!

Ending the free coffee at 8:30am is pretty early for Vegas ... I guess maybe that's part of targeting the older clientele.

I'm leaning toward going for the Encore regardless, based on preference for the decor and having more pool options available, and I guess we'll see how it goes!

Hi,

Enjoy. I would check on arrival about the coffee times as they could have changed recently

Wish I was back in vegas. Had to cancel cancel the 2020 trip due to the us immigration restrictions and 2021 is not looking good at the moment for us in the uk although hopefully things will improve later on

HI All. thanks for all the great information here. First time posting. My question is this. I have just booked a great deal at the Wynn for five nights and it came with $25 dollars slot play and $225 resort credit. We are so excited. Then I got an email stating I may request some upgrades using E-STANDBY and if they are available we will notified and charged accordingly. There is a great deal for trying to upgrade to Wynn TOWER SUITES for 81 dollars a night. The upgrade includes 50 per day for breakfast at a few restaraunts till noon, plus the benefits of the Tower Suites. So my big question is this.........If i request and get notified that I got the upgrade for 81 per night with the 50 dollar daily breakfast credit DO I LOSE THE RESORT CREDIT OF 225 AND SLOT CREDIT OF 25 DOLLARS THAT CAME WITH MY ORIGINAL RESERVATION. I love the idea of the free 50 dollars for breakfast, but dont want to risk the losing the resort credit.

Thanks in advance
Kyle

You should call and ask the hotel.
