Close - I ended up with this and it worked: format_number(acres, 0) || '
' || 'Acres'
Thanks - I had no clue that format_number was something I could do.

Question - I'm building a map for a client. I need to label a polygon
with the Acres and the word Acres. The attribute for this polygon
would
be 184.35679835. In Properties -> Labels -> Formatting I can
remove the
decimals and I get 184 for a label.
If I add the word Acres to the label -> acres || ' Acres' I
expect to
see 184 Acres. Instead I see 184.35679835 Acres.
Is there something I'm missing when adding text to a label? I think
there probably is....but I'm drawing a blank.
Ubuntu 14.04 QGIS 2.6
I haven't had a chance to test in Windows 7 OSGEO Install.
