Stayed: September, 2008 The Wynn is simply the best hi-end property on the Strip (until they inevitably build a new one that outclasses it, but that'll be tough). It's quite expensive but worth it if you want to go all-out for a wedding or vacation. Decked out in royal purple and filled with flowers (all real, all fresh), its opulence makes places like the Bellagio (a great hotel in its own right and former Wynn creation) look cheap and touristy in comparison.
The fine dining (Alex) and steakhouse (SW) are among the very best in a city that in recent years has developed some of the best of both. The club/lounge outclasses the competition, with its Armani-clad nobility with stunning eye-candy on their arms, but loses its stiffness with great dancing after midnight. I'll put it this way--what other hotel could have its own world-class golf course on-site? No, not one you take a van 20 minutes to get to, but one built right behind the hotel. It's in a class of its own.
Rooms: Normal-sized but decked out w/ plasma TVs and stuff most hotels reserve for top suites. Beds are incredible. Don't even think about touching the mini-bar! Like most places in Vegas, it's legalized robbery.
In-room Dining: Top restaurant quality and fast.
Breakfast restaurant: As good as Bellagio and just as ridiculously expensive.
Service: Impeccable, though check-in can be slow at peak times.
Spa/Gym: Top-rate but expensive. Like most Vegas hotels, you pay dearly for a morning workout.
Location: North Strip across from fashion show mall. This used to be a decaying area but the Strip's center of gravity is moving north, and with the Mall, the Wynn and soon-to-be completed second Wynn property (called "Encore"), this is increasingly the center of action, minus the seediness of the south Strip.
Bottom line: You want luxury that's a couple notches above Paris or Bellagio, and are willing to pay for it? This is the place. Liked: Rooms are ultra-comfortable, hotel is top-rate Dis-Liked: Expensive Recommended activities:
