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.

“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.
