Encore Tower Suites
The Encore's Tower Suite has a private entrance, lobby, lounge, and elevator, plus a certain style of dignified decor rare in Vegas: creams and browns, black and white—plus punches of graphic stripes and checks. The Tower Suite lobby bar is one of Las Vegas's power rooms for casual meetings and drinks with clients. (Rooms, from $310)
