Brief Description:

In a city that keeps raising the bar for sheer luxury, the Wynn, monolithic in both name and appearance steals the show. In his latest project, Steve Wynn, the developer most associated with Las Vegas glitz and showmanship and the creator of the Mirage, Treasure Island, and Bellagio, shirks the campy, theme park trend of other resorts for a new one: haute Las Vegas. At a price tag of $2.7 billion, this is the most expensive hotel project ever undertaken, a fact you'll be reminded of at every turn. First, there's the Madison Avenue lineup of boutiques: Chanel, Dior, Gaultier, de la Renta. Then, there's the collection of chefs, including New York's Daniel Boulud, legendary Japanese chef Takashi Yagahashi, and France's most renowned pastry chef, Frédéric Robert. There's a Ferrari car dealership, a theater in the round showroom, an exclusive championship golf course right outside the hotel's back door, a poolside cabana-style casino (play blackjack while you swim!), and a snazzy spa offering everything from sake and rice body treatments to 80-minute feng shui inspired "good luck rituals." It's a best of everything list under one roof, a playground for jet setters, high-rollers, or anyone who wants to feel like one.

HOTEL: The princely rooms in this monument to Vegas glamour average a whopping 650 square feet, are decked out with replicas of pieces from Steve Wynn's acclaimed art collection, and offer spectacular views through floor to ceiling windows. Rest your head at night on custom pillow-top beds with 320 thread count linens, and stay plugged into the world with cordless phones and high-speed Internet. The super posh Tower Suites Parlor and Salon units have use of a separate pool and lanai and have such opulent amenities as granite wet bars, separate powder rooms, 42-inch flat screen TVs, walk in closets, and individual bedside controls for lighting and draperies. Even relatively minor touches, such as richly appointed armchairs with ottomans and giant, fluffy Turkish towels, speak to the sheer sumptuousness of this place.

CASINO: The bad news or good news on the Wynn casino depends on how much money you walk in with. You'll see $500 minimum blackjack tables on the regular casino floor, not just inside the high rollers casino (which is adjacent to a casino lounge and shares the ambience of its jazz trio). If you can pony up the cash for tables with a $100 buy in or higher, though, you'll have some of the best rules possible: the games are hand-dealt and honor the the old-fashioned 1.5 payouts on a natural. During the day or early evening, you can find $15 tables, but they're dealt from a shoe or automatic card shuffler. Lest you dismiss Wynn Las Vegas as completely snooty, rest assured that a healthy number of one-cent slots are out in a prominent area, not shuffled off to some remote corner. The multi-level poker room unfolds near the exotic car dealership, and there is a nice bar area next to the sports book, where plush chairs line the individual viewing cubicles augmenting the usual big-screen TVs.
