Great deal if you can get the $169/nt rate but not so good for the dates I need: $499x2 nights :(

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I went ahead and booked an Ecnore TS room after I took a look at the renovated Wynn TS rooms (not my cup of tea). I prefer the more modern look of Encore.
Anyway, I'm now debating about switching to the Cosmopolitan specifically because of the rooms with balconies facing the Bellagio fountains. ^^

I know Executive Suites at Wynn have 2 bathrooms - but is there more room space than a normal Tower Suite? Also, have they been renovated?

Have to decide whether to take 5 nights in a Tower Suite RFB or 5 nights in an Exec Suite with FB limited to $200 a night. Not sure what is the better deal.

Tower Suites gives you access to so much more. Restaurants, pools, line pass to buffet, etc. Not only that but sounds like you get FULL RFB. Why not ask them to upgrade your Tower Suites room for that extra $50-100/night? I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they said "OK" and put you in the Parlor Suite. A room is a room, and honestly unless you are entertaining you really don't need a ton of space, and you'll be out of it most of the time. I'd jump on the Tower Suites in my opinion. At check-in (or better through your Host) ask for a paid upgrade on top of your RFB.

My host has told me you can't pay to upgrade a comp room, either through him or at check in at Wynn. I would have been quite happy to do that.

My choice is a normal Tower Suite with full RFB or an Exec suite with $200 a night FB.

Is spa/gym access free for Tower guests?
 

Is spa/gym access free for Tower guests?

It is now. It's called a "resort fee"

I'm pretty sure there's no resort fee for anyone staying in a Tower suite or higher. I've seen this in the fine print when making a reservation.

No resort fee for TS guests but spa access was still $40/day a couple months back.

Was at Wynncore last week and 'resort fees' are now built-into the parlor/salone suites (and above) rate. They were still charging folks who were on the TS side, but in a base room, the standard resort fee.

This is Vegas, which means it's all subject to change at a moment's notice.

I believe the resort fee includes the gym but not the spa. However, if you rent a parlor suite or above (paid or comped), don't be surprised if the spa admission doesn't show up on your bill. Mr. Wynn has traditionally waived that automatically, even though no hotel employees seem to be willing to tell you.

This looks very attractive - does the credit work on all dining charges or just at certain particularly expensive restaurants? $225 may not cover a dinner for two at Bartolotta. :D

Found it. After entering in your dates and selecting a room type, you'll see a mention of the Resort Fee.

And that's why you always print out (or since it's Earth Day, take a screenshot of ;)) the fine print any time you make a reservation.

Thanks for the clarification. Since we are staying in one of the regular rooms listed, and knew I was paying the resort fee on the comped stay, I erroneously thought every room type incurred the fee.
Which leads me to a minor gripe: on comped stays at the Venetian, the resort fee had always been waived. Not true for our Wynn offer.

Exec suites are slightly larger than the regular TS rooms. They are on the Tower Suites side. I guess it depends on how much money you think you will spend on F&B each day....
