| The Never-ending Luxuries of Las Vegas Accommodations |
Planners looking to maximize their budget by stretching their dollars to include food and entertainment will be thrilled to learn that the Palazzo offers amazing suite packages that are not likely to be found anywhere else. A few notable offers include the Reward Yourself Package, which allows guests to enjoy the best accommodations on the Strip along with $150 worth of entertainment, food and gaming credits, and the Lavo Nightlife Package, which treats visitors to dinner, drinks and dancing at one of the city’s premier adult venues.
Green transportation initiative include the nearby Monorail station and bus stops, rewarding carpools and drivers of fuel-efficient vehicles with preferred parking and providing valet bicycle services. The Palazzo has been able to reduce water waste by eight million gallons a year by replacing turf grass with artificial grass and installing drip-irrigation to eliminate run-off. In addition, two atria skylights fill the main building with natural sunlight and the hotel’s swimming pools are heated by solar-powered temperature regulation system.
The Palazzo’s neighbor, Encore, is also a new accommodations player on the Strip. This Wynn enterprise has been drawing top corporate clients since its opening in December 2008 and is expecting to stay at a near-booked pace through the end of this year.
Encore’s immaculate interior design reflects the many opulent resort cultures of the world, including Europe, India, and the Far East.
Meeting planners will find that Encore is a corporate events haven with 60,000-square-feet of flexible and ornately decorated space, combining the best aspects of aesthetic luxury and productive utility. A magnificent ballroom provides an expanse of open space that can accommodate galas, banquets and seated dinners while a vast array of small rooms provide the perfect setting for classroom- and boardroom-style functions.
Event services at Encore include a catering staff made up of some of the premier food and beverage works in the industry, a business center that provides convention attendees with equipment, office supplies and communication rentals and an entertainment production team that guarantees technically proficient presentations. A meetings concierge is also available to assist planners in communicating with the many branches of the resort’s staff and to make sure attendees are able to move from one session to the next with as little interruption in the event’s flow as possible.
Providing first-class entertainment is one of Encore’s specialty’s, as it is the only place in the world where guests can experience La Rêve, a breathtaking show combining acrobatics, dance and aqua theatrics that the Las Vegas Sun calls “visually stunning.” Group sales are available for this beautifully crafted spectacle in the tradition of the famous Cirque du Soleil productions.
Encore also attracts many top-name performers on a regular basis. One of the most highly anticipated shows in Las Vegas this summer is Encore’s limited engagement of international superstar Beyonce’s “I Am…Yours” concert, which runs July 30 through August 2.
