   Hooray for Encore & The M! I stayed at BOTH places earlier this year when I was buying my condo, and I really think both deserve their respective stars. Encore may now be the most luxe resort on The Strip, and the "standard" resort suite I stayed in was HUGE at over 700 square feet! Meanwhile here in Henderson, The M is new favorite "locals' casino" because it really feels like anything but with all the luxury I expect at the top Strip resorts... But without all the pretentiousness ad much more comfort. :-)

   Wouldn't travel star ratings for hookers instead of hotels be of more interest to conventioneers?

   : )

   just what you need, more overpriced places for the rich and lazy to stay. went to the m on vacation 3 weeks ago at 5 am and place was a ghost town. $50 in a penny slot took us about 5 minutes and we left. headed to southpoint after, $50 in penny slot there lasted almost 2 hours. keep your overpriced crap, new places are not for regular folks. if your visiting, i suggest you stay someplace like the orleans, take a cab, do your strip thing, then come back to gamble where you stay. don't give those ceo crooks on the strip any of your money.may want to take your empty soda bottles to new city center as it looks like a recycling ctr.

   Harley-

   I guess Forbes can start rating the brothels in Pahrump? ;-)

   formervegas-

   Not all of us are rich & lazy. Some of us just appreciate a better place to stay. I know I enjoy a suite with a deep soaking tub and a TV in the bathroom so I can catch the weather update or "Chelsea Lately" while I wash up. And of course The M will look like a "ghost town" at 5:00 AM, but check back later in the day when the buffet lines are endless, the penny slots are nearly all taken, and the table games are filling up fast. While I don't think Tony Marnell has taken advantage of all the opportunities he's been given so far (like "Top Chef"), I do think he's overall doing a great job at The M and I hope he takes advantage of this opportunity to showcase the most elegant resort in Henderson.

   Every rating is given Politically. It's a joke how everyone knows when the rater is coming they follow them and call each other as they move through these Vegas hotels so everything is perfect where the person rating the property is. $$$ talks

   Never realized how many bitter people there are who want to see others fail. Does misery love company?

   Stayed this weekend on a promotion from the "M". Fantastic resort.

   Especially fond of the fifty minute message received from Brandi. Absolutely fantastic. First time I ever spent $85 like that on myself. Wonder why its taken me this long to figure out how relaxing and soothing it is.

   Never stayed at the Encore but can tell you that the M is definitely worthy.

   By the way... I don't think Forbes rates casinos, so losing $50 on penny slots probably has no effect on the rating whatsoever.

   muddapucker-

   Welcome to The Sun online. We have some interesting discussions... And then we have some bitter folks coming here to complain. Either it's all Obama's fault or it's all Harry Reid's fault or it's all the casino CEOs' fault or it's all the rich celebrities' fault.

   Whatever. I seem to annoy a lot of folks here on occasion, but I've learned to brush it off and keep speaking my mind.

   But anyway, do try Wynn and/or Encore soon. I just got a "Red Card member" promo for $119 per night rooms that will automatically (depending on availability) be upgraded to Encore resort suites for no extra charge! The suites are quite nice, and the best part is that you're just upstairs from some of the best restaurants in town. Society Cafe does great breakfasts, and Sinatra's always good for a classic Italian meal with a few contemporary twists.
