Budget isn't really the issue. The complicated part is that I won't actually be there. I guess I could call the hotel and ask to speak to the concierge. I'm still hoping someone has real-life experience with a good florist, though. With the concierge, I always wonder if they're giving me the best or if they get some sort of referal fee.

in that case, id suggest trying the four seasons concierge >
Concierge
The Concierge service was the only area of the hotel which was fantastic. Lisa Carson, Chef Concierge, is a wonderful person who runs an excellent team of Concierge staff. From restaurant reservations to all the information and directions we needed they took care of the requests in a timely manner and very professionally. The Concierge I worked with also helped negotiate a 25% discount off of a watch at Tourneau at the Forum Shops as I was only able to negotiate 15-20% off the price. I was clear to mention to the Managers I spoke with that the Concierge service was excellent.

I had a client send me a floral arrangement and a bottle of champagne when I stayed at the Wynn - apparently he called the concierge to arrange it all. The flowers were lovely. The Wynn apparently has its own florist on call but I bet all of the better class of Strip hotels either have someone in-house or someone good available to do it.

The two florist I deal with almost excusively(an I do a lot of buisiness with them)are Flower Fair and Tiger Lily.Both are excellent and deliver to all of the hotels. Flower fair is a little more "designer"and is also a lot more expensive.If a traditional arangement is ok call Tiger Lily,give them a good buget and they will do you proud.
