For sale with that $22 fruit plate – a delicious Review-Journal
The New York Times reviewed Steve Wynn’s Encore in its travel section today, and it’s mostly good news for the swanky new resort.
But I think I found a place the R-J’s intrepid sales personnel can go to make a score.
On the subject of room service, writer Brooks Barnes was left cold by the lack of an available newspaper.
“It started out poorly: An attendant told us there was “zero chance” of getting a newspaper, local or otherwise, delivered with breakfast. The food arrived a short 17 minutes later. A fruit plate was pricey at $22, but the assortment was perfectly ripe. An $18 breakfast sandwich — two dainty croissants with ham and melted cheese — was delicious if greasy. A large pot of coffee ($14) came in two small French presses.”
Barnes liked the Encore despite spotting several shortcomings.
