Erected on land where the legendary Desert Inn once
stood, the 42-story, curvilinear Wynn Las Vegas is sheathed
in a coppery bronze that reflects the bright desert
sun.
On 192 acres, Wynn Las Vegas will hold approximately
2,700 guest rooms, 18 restaurants -- including the first
Vegas outpost of New York's trendy Balthazar -- and
an 110,000 square foot casino with several gambling
areas. There will also be an 18-hole championship golf
course.
The centerpiece of the Wynn Las Vegas mega resort will
be a 150-foot-tall mountain with a five-story waterfall
that cascades into a three-acre, man-made lake.
Wynn Las Vegas, at 3201 Las Vegas Blvd South, boasts
one of the best locations in Las Vegas. Standing mid-Strip,
Wynn is next door to the popular Venetian hotel resort
casino. Wynn Las Vegas is across the Las Vegas Strip
from the recently expanded Las Vegas Fashion Show Mall,
making it a perfect perch for passionate shoppers. Wynn
Las Vegas is also close to Wynn Casino and the Mirage
(two other Steve Wynn properties) and Caesars Las Vegas.
Expect to see priceless artworks by Picasso, Renoir,
Cezanne, and Van Gogh from Steve Wynn's collection inside
Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas was originally to be
called La Reve ("the dream"), after a painting
of the same name by Picasso. Perhaps the double entendre
-- inviting visitors to "wynn" in Las Vegas
-- inspired the change.
Like every major Las Vegas casino resort hotel, Wynn
Las Vegas will attract visitors with larger-than-life
entertainment offerings. It will hold two major theaters,
one of which will be a 2,000-seat domed showroom with
a circular stage. A production by Franco Dragone of
Cirque du Soleil may outdo the "Mystere" and
"O" shows he also brought to Las Vegas. With
your winnings you'll be able to shop at Chanel and Christian
Dior boutiques. Need to get out of town, fast? Wynn
Las Vegas plans to have a full-service Ferrari and Maserati
car dealership on the premises.
Expect the service to be spectacular, too. Rumor has
it that Steve Wynn has been recruiting the top staffers
from his other Las Vegas hotels, including Bellagio,
to work at Wynn Las Vegas.
Although there's been no mention yet of wedding chapels
at Wynn Las Vegas, it's likely the property will incorporate
one.
In November 2004, months before Wynn Las Vegas' opening,
Wynn Resorts announced an expansion on the original
Wynn Las Vegas plan. The new 20-acre development, known
as Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, may feature an additional
1,500-suite hotel tower, more restaurants and casino
areas, swimming pools, a spa, and other facilities adjacent
to the original Wynn Las Vegas.
