I took my father out to Vegas for Christmas week. We stayed at the Wynn. check in was a breeze. We were offered an upgrade to any suites because it was the “slow” time of the year. i declined because the regular room is more than enough. we were on the 55th floor with a beautiful view of the golf course. the room was fantastic. it’s the nicest hotel on the strip. we gambled at the local casinos. we find that we do better at the local places than the strip. my father played the slots at the wynn, but i didn’t. i only play craps and the minumum bets at the craps table at night are $25—$100. that’s a bit out of my range. I like playing at other casinos with lower minimum bets. the sportsbook at the wynn requires you to have a drink ticket to get a drink. if you don’t have a ticket, you don’t drink, even a soda or juice. you have to ask the person at the counter for them when you make a bet. alot of the people won’t give you one unless you ask. i made a $600 bet and had to ask for a ticket and only got one. from that point on, i made all my bets at the palms. they’re friendly and don’t have the drink tickets. for inexpensive food eat at terribles. we went there for breakfast. my dad got the pancakes and coffee. i got the ham and egg special with hashbrowns and toast for a total of $11. we didn’t have to eat until a late dinner. we ate there another day. we had dinner and i got the steak dinner with baked potato and green beans and salad for $6.99. my dad got fried chicken with mashed potatos and soup with a basket of bread for a total of $15 after a coupon i had. if you go to their website they have buy one get one free for the buffet that you can print out. the peppermill was very good to eat at. it’s on the strip. the trip was fun and i am looking forward to returning in the future….

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Wynn. I do not understand any of the negative comments regarding the Wynn as I found nothing to complain about. Understandably the room wasn’t ready when we checked in at 11:00 am but we were in the room by 1:00 pm. A panoramic view room on the corner with great views of the strip. Regarding construction noise, we heard none. I found the people at reception and throughout the resort friendly and polite. Yes we spent money in the restaurants and the casino but isn’t that the reason you are there! I am not a high roller but do like to play the slots. They were not tight at all. I did receive some comp on check out and a card for a host on my next visit. I did not hit it big on any machine and
did go home with money in my pocket. I do realize this will not occur on a regular basis but I do look at this as entertainment only and I budget accordingly. I highly recommend the Wynn.

A strip facing room is unacceptable for anyone other than a vampire or a party all night yuppie. I’ve had quieter nights in a Motel 6.

If you’re a human who expects to sleep sometime between midnight and dawn insist on a golf course view or get a Fairway Villa. Or better yet, stay elsewhere.

Rooms: Wonderful and roomy, with double sinks, tub and separate shower, plus separate toilet room.

Gaming: Highest minimums in Vegas, and lucky to find a minimum $25 table. Only double odds at craps, sub-par blackjack rules, and slots programmed at the legal minimum payout rating.

Food: EXPENSIVE, but good.

Service: Mostly ok, but to much obvious PHISHING for profile info. Big Brother is definitely watching here.

Prostitution: Technically not allowed, but I was approached by 4 hookers within a few hour timeframe just minding my own business playing slots. I brought it to the attention of the security guard and he basically laughed in my face and blew it off.

Tryst: This place is an absolute disgrace to the hotel. For a place that prides themselves in exceptional service, the Tryst is by far the opposite. We were supposedly on a VIP Guest list because we had gambled a lot, and also were staying in the hotel. But because I tried to walk in with 3 mildly overweight women, they repeatedly ignored us even at the front of the line. We never even got in the door, even with our VIP passes.

Luxury; I don’t thinks so, nickel and dime extractor; definately. The only thing luxury here is the price. Put money into a poker machine at the bar and get charged for a beer. 11.95 a day for very slow internet access, Non sense. All the resturant have very limited menues, food’s not bad but the service is the worst. Its just a big Holiday inn with a bad attitude. Wynn had such a good track record how could this happen? Greed.

The resort room we stayed in was the most comfortable room we have ever stayed in. The beds were so comfy with pillowtop comforters, down pillows and lots of pillows, flat panel TV in the room and bathroom. Incredibly classy and ritzy.

The casino staff were not the friendliest and the slots are tight. The people were a bit snobbish.

The buffet was excellent.

Great hotel but you get what you pay for. A sligt hiccup as soon as I checked in though, I went to change $1500 in cheques at the cashier who was very rude to me – she assumed that because I wasn’t smartly dressed I was just a bum from the street. She got a shock when I spoke to her manager and went mad at her attitude. Shame that that was my first impression of the staff there. Just remember they will treat you according to how you’re dressed. The next night I was in a suit and was being asked to come to the posh lounge there.
Nice hotel, remember to get a Red card to get free buffets!

At the end of March, Wynn had installed previously non-existent continuous shuffle machines at their BJ tables and are now hitting soft 17’s at most BJ tables. One of the best venues for the 21 player has joined its competitors in the cesspool.

The casino is gorgeous.

Bellagio screams opulence. Wynn is understated, whimsical opulence, money with a bit of a grin.

Pool was unremarkable. I still think Bellagio has the best pool area in town.

There’s a Rolex store there, but check out the Wynn watch shop—some real nice brands—since real horologists don’t love Rolex.

We booked a non-smoking room and called to say our flight was delayed due to mechanical problems, so we woudl be a later arrival.

When we got there (8pm), there were NO n/s rooms available. I explained that I had called ahead and was very sensitive to smoke. She could do nothing about a n/s room for us. So she put us in a panoramic view room. It did have a lovely view – and a distinct odor. They did bring up an ozone machine (after I convinced housekeeping that I really did want one). It helped quite a bit, but had to be run for an hour while we were out of the room. The odor was definitely back by morning.

The bathrooms are everything described; however I did notice that in the water closet (toilet area), the brown wallpaper was very “speckled” around the toilet. It was really bad behind it, but also obvious all around the walls. In addition, there were ashes on our windows sills. I just think for the level of facility – the room was frankly not very clean!

The food and pool were fantastic – absolutely not complaints there. On our first trip in Jan. 06, I thought the staff was extremely friendly. Much less so this trip.

If it weren’t for the pool, I would have been disapointed.

During my vacation in Las Vegas, I stayed at two hotels: Wynn Las Vegas and Red Rock Casino Resort Spa. After Reading such good reviews of Wynn, I had high expectations of the place. This place was without a doubt a very big disapointment. I had the worst service! My room wasn’t ready. The pool wasn’t all that great. I could go and go about this place!!! However, I had a totally different experience at the red rock. The rooms, atmosphere, and interior design were way better. Also, the service at red rock was more personalized, unlike the Wynn. Overall, all I have to say is to save your pennies and stay at the red rock.

I stayed at the Wynn for Thanksgiving 2005 and plan on going back within the month. I absolutely loved it there, and this is why I am returning for my birthday. I have stayed at the Bellagio in one of the big overpriced suites like three years ago. I will never go back there. The man at the pool yelled at me to show him my room key. The wall paper was peeling off the wall. It was a nice room but too stiff for my taste. Don’t get me wrong, I like pretentious and I think The Wynn does it perfectly for me. It has more of the American pretentious feel than the European kind at the Bellagio. The beds are amazing and the bathtub is so relaxing. Their room service food is really really good and the buffet is the best on the strip, expensive but worth it. This next time I go I will be enjoying the cabanas and getting to know the spa. I don’t plan on leaving the hotel this time, there is no reason to. I can’t wait!! Happy Birthday to me!!

We just returned this morning we had three rooms at the Wynn. One located top floor the other two on the 20 th and 28th all had wonderful views. Beds were wonderful, however in two rooms we had 4 people, beds could have been larger. Service first class. Pool amazing. Casino large well lit smelled great. Decor spectacular.Resturants A+ Buffett excellent. Plenty of shops. Construction underway next door, kind of a long walk from the street to Wynn. However they offer a shuttle to the monorail. Rooms are average size.But clean and beautifuly decorated. Would stay there again in the future.

Wynn is amazing. And so are the negative reviews. I was married and stayed three days in a Villa at Wynn and everything was the ultimate in luxury. While it is agreed that the Wynn is pricey (but in my opinion worth it) If you are not interested in paying for the best, stop complaining and go back to the Flamingo.

Wynn is ready for its implosion, Mr. DeMille.

The sound of workmen pounding woke me up at 4 this morning. Then there was no hot water in the shower, even after letting it run for a while. The bathroom scale is broken, I can hear
voices in the next room through the wall, and they charge per minute for calls to toll-free numbers.

I saw an interview where Steve Wynn talked about the good taste in the design, but its just the same old Vegas. A real disappointment from the guy who built the wonderful Bellagio.
Instead of this budget grandeur, they should have hired John Waters to do bad taste well.

The one bright spot is the staff, who have been friendly and helpful (except for the guy pounding this morning and the guy who turned off the hot water).

As many said,the hype was way much more than the place.Friends of mine who have worked and currently work at former Wynn’s properties all agree: this place wash rushed to open so that Steve Wynn could say “Ehi,watch out everyone,i’m back and read to kick some butt,i’m the man”.This place is just flashy and lack of the details you can find at Bellagio or Mirage,even TI.It will get old very soon,with all those reddish and purple colors.Sure it’s a beautiful place,and I really enjoyed the music in there,really unique(you have to go there and hear it to understand what I’m talking about).
Now it’s all about rich people,but it wont last.And imho,it’s not appealing enough to take a walk in there.Maybe that’s what Steve wanted,just rich people in and peones out.But ,again,this trend will not last long.Bellagio still the most elegant place in town,period.

I am a long time fan of Bellagio, but must admit the Wynn is just as gtood now with rooms at least one notch above the Bellagio.

Dinner at Alex is something that has me contemplating moving to Las Vegas, I love the place, the food and the ambiance.

A poor imitation of Bellagio The room was nice but the TV is too small and the auto-charge snack tray a bit tacky for a luxury hotel.
The closet light did not work, and the fomsy toilet seat was actually vwery off center.
I ordered a small fridge for my medicine at checkin and after repeated calls, it came six hours later.
The buffet staff was not well trained. to deal with guests. One does not tell a guest that you have never heard that complaint before and then turns and walks away.

As of 8/8/2005 I still feel they are not ready for guests! We were set to stay three nights and decided not to waste the money after staying one night…if you are into the details don’t stay here yet. The staff is not well trained even for the simple requests. The rooms are nice, but not finished. We still had construction markings in the shower and scratches on the walls and chips out of the marble tables…it appears the hotel was completed in a major rushed effort…perhaps in a few months or a year it might be worth the money. Everything costs there…the internet is not free, water is $4.00…save the money!

I’ve stayed at all the top tier Vegas hotels and Wynn Las Vegas blows them away. Everything in the hotel is top quality. The textured fabric wallpapers that abound look and feel great to the touch. Woodwork is outstanding. The lighting fixtures are unbelievable. Compare the plain chandeliers over at the Bellagio to the truly unique pieces at Wynn and you’ll see. I never thought I’d say it, but Bellagio looks bland inside after you take a walk around Wynn. Wynn Las Vegas completely out classes Bellagio, especially now that MGM owns Bellagio. The rooms at Bellagio’s new Spa Tower, built under MGM ownership are built cheaply…definitely not the same “spare no expense” attitude of building that Wynn used. For example, in Bellagio’s Spa tower, the tissue box is covered in a cheesy aluminum thing. At Wynn, the tissue box is a polished wood. Another example of Wynn outclassing Bellagio, Bellagio sticks a black Bic pen with a Bellagio logo on it with your room note pad. Wynn places a high quality metal pen with your pad. Towels at Wynn were plush and soft…Bellagio seems to have downgraded in their towel department.

The service Wynn was impeccable. Friendly greetings, helpful staff. Take time to explore the entire resort, even a stroll through the ballroom areas are filled with eye candy. Mosaic flooring was beautiful.

I ate several of the hotel’s restaurants. Tableau and had the best hamburger I’ve ever had. Red 8 had GREAT food at an affordable price. SW steakhouse served up a fine steak. DB was kind of a dissapointment…I never was much into celebrity chefs anyway. I had hibachi at Okada, and was pleased. Great atmosphere in there with stunning views of the waterfalls on the mountain.

In my opinion, Wynn Las Vegas is the new top hotel in Vegas.

Who are these people who are rating the Wynn so high? Have they never experienced the Bellagio? This is supposed to be a 5 star hotel and with all the hype you go expecting to be knocked off your feet. Instead you are greeted by a group of emotionless robots who check you in without even a smile. The elevators are not cooled and sometimes not even working. It is clean and smells nice because it is so new but not spacious or open like the Bellagio lobby. The rooms are just average. They are not as large as the Venetian rooms but maybe slightly larger than the Bellagio if you count the foyer or entry into the room. The views are limited as there is construction at the strip side and the golf course in the back. Nothing special about the golf course view. For the price per night, you want to feel pampered and special. Not here. VERY OVER PRICED for what you get. The buffet is probably the worst in Vegas. Stay with the hotels that are experienced at pampering their guest and giving them 5 star treatment. The Wynn needs to mature quite a bit before it earns the 5 star rating.

I am very unimpressed with the Wynn. While I would like to see Steve Wynn pull off another Bellagio or Mirage, this resort is an absolute joke. The so called “large rooms” are very average as he put the extra space in the entry ways. You enter the room in this huge foyer into an average size room. Nothing special about it. All the money he put into the place and he did not bother to air condition the elevators! A ride on the elevators is just like being in a sauna. You can’t wait to get off the thing! There are no big WOW features like the Bellagio fountains, or the volcano, pirate ship, etc. He has this big flat screen fountain that turns into a drive in movie screen for cartoons a couple of times a night. The buffet is just horrible. The food is presented in very small plates with only a small portion of food in each plate. No prime rib, lobster, duck, just the cheapest cut of meat, FLANK STEAK and fried chicken and some turkey. Seating is far away from the food and everything is cold by the time you sit down. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Don’t waste your time or money. The staff are very bland and you feel like you are in the check out line at Walmart when you check in. No personalties not even any eye contact. Very bland and distance reception for guest who stay there. Hotel does not compare to Mirage and Bellagio. Has Steve forgotten the things that matter most?

Stayed at the Wynn the week after it opened and was very unhappy. I reserved a room with a view on a high floor, but it was not available and the room I was given was on a very low floor with a floor to ceiling view of nothing but the casino roof, really ugly. Check in staff were rude and said I could not change my room that day because it is against their policy to change rooms on check-in day(???) Some 5 star hotel. The room was great except for the view and the dirty dishes from the last guest that were not removed. The Spa was also very disappointing and small. It was the worst Spa treatment I have had in Vegas and very expensive. The food was good and the public areas are beautiful, but totally derivative from the Belllagio, not original at all. For the same price I can have a corner suite at Bellagio with a great view from the whirlpool. I hope Steve Wynn can address some of the shortcomings with the addition, but the view from the lower floors is a disaster.

I was stayed at the Wynn during the July 4th weekend this year. We checked in on the 1st and were out by the 4th. The hotel and casino were very nice. The rooms were comfortable. I can’t say enough about the beds. The bed was so comfortable, the second you lay on it, you fall asleep. The spas were nice, the price for pedicures is a little steep for me($100). The gaming was also good. The dealers were nice, all the staff was friendly. We gambled at other places but ended up coming back to the Wynn due the friendly playing environment and overall ambience. The only complaint I have is about their comp system. Of course, I’m just an average player played only about $4k, but they should have a better system and pick up more of the tab for the amount I spent. I guess that is normal considering this is not Treasure Island or the Mirage. All in all, if you have the money; stay here!!

I just returned from a 3-night stay in a Salon Suite at Wynn and have just about nothing but praise! The approach to the Tower Suites through the atrium is absolutely gorgeous. Arrived on a Friday at 6 pm and didn’t wait at all to check in… Then, the room. I can’t even begin to describe to absolute beauty and glamor of the Salon Suite. Ours was deocrated in browns, reds and whites and worked wonderfully. The artwork selected for the room was perfect and matched well with the overall color scheme of the room. The master bathroom was larger than the living room in my condo and was amazing! The champagne jets in the huge bath, and the rain feature in the shower were two of my favorite things about our room. Room service was exceptional, and they even came in and set our places at our table. Before leaving, they asked what time they should come by to pick up after us! Brilliant! We had a great time in the casino and I found it to be very warm and inviting. In fact, one forgets just how big Wynn really is; I think the design is just wonderful – you never feel like you’re in a huge cavernous place as you do at Bellagio or other large casinos. The resort as a whole just made me feel so HAPPY. The colors, the plants, the design – all wonderful. I really can’t understand what people have complained about, but whatever! I had the most amazing time at Wynn and will find it very difficult to stay anywhere else now… We did have some electrical issues with our DVD players, but they were fixed, and we were granted a $100 credit on our bill, as well as a 5pm check-out! Awesome!

To start off, Steve – I would like to say GOOD JOB! This is by far the best hotel on the Strip. Just got back from an executive suite at Wynn – My entire stay could not get any better. When I arrived, my car was taken quickly and I was ushered into the V.I.P lobby…Breathtaking. The design is fresh and original. Stylish like Bellagio but fun and energetic like T.I. My room was ready immediately. The elevators to the thirty-eighth floor were quick and efficient. When I opened the doors, I was shocked by the bold and beautiful decor. Wynn’s previous hotels were usually very classic. This one builds on that classical design with modern and bold touches. It was very clear to me that this was my new favorite suite in Las Vegas! From the plush bed to the TVs and air-infused tub in the bathroom, everything was GREAT! Had dinner at SW Steakhouse – My favorite used to be Delmonico’s at Venetian. I liked to have dinner there every trip. Well, that all changed when I tried SW. Forget Delmonico! The casino was very lucky for me, as was the poker room. Every fixture was top-notch, everything the latest and greatest technology available. And it was all done on a truly impressive scale. Later, I decided to try the pool. It was top notch! The topless area was truly breathtaking :) and the VIP pools were great! I even rented a cabana – well worth the price. These are not your usual canvas tents, either. They are real, solid, permanent structures! It was like having a mini-suite right by the pool!

Now on to the staff – some say that they are unhelpful. Well, I don’t know what happened to other guests, but I felt like a god! Every person that I met was willing to help and extremely friendly. I was also very happy to find that Wynn had a couple of nightspots – La Bete and Lure. Went to La Bete and found a new favorite nightspot. It is truly breathtaking to sit in a nightclub and look out the window to see a waterfall! Lure was equally luring :) – better than Tabu at MGM!

Overall, my trip to Vegas was fantastic. And I credit this to my staying at Wynn Las Vegas. They have set a new standard for luxury in this bright city! Keep up the good work, Wynn. I’ll be back!

No doubt this is an upscale property, but that being said: (1) While the rooms are stated to be 650 sq. feet, the bedroom is probably only about 60% of the total square footage with the rest devoted to the bathroom. Therefore, the bedroom is only slightly bigger than most standard Las Vegas rooms. Great bed and all amentites are of very high quality; (2) Bathroom is oversized, but with toilet open to the rest of the room reducing its use to one guest at a time. Separate toilet area (ala Venetian) is more practical for more than a single occupant at a time. Again, great finish and amenties in the bathroom; (3) Pool is more for soaking and lounging than an active public place. Very much in the style of the Bellagio than, say the Mirage or Mandalay Bay. Bold move in using artificial grass in the pool (and other) areas. Looks fairly real, but astroturf? Does it work

After staying here for 4 nights, I have to say the Wynn is beautiful, but needs to hire the appropriate staff. Unless you are a gluton for punishment, do not go on a holiday weekend. Issues: They gave me a room that was occupied, could not reach anyone at front desk from a house phone (just kept ringing), was upgraded to panoramic view room (not sure what the views are from other rooms, but this one was fantastic), there were no lightbulbs in any lamps, paint was on the carpet, etc. Maintenance was called and never showed. The SPA was beautiful (bellagio is much better) but service was rude and my massage was the WORST. The elevators were malfunctioning so 25 min wait to go up AND down. There was a 1hour& 45 min wait at Buffet, but when we complained, got a pass to the front of the line only to be surrounded by 10-14 EMPTY tables! Okada sushi was to die for – best sake ever. Do yourself a favor and check into the Bellagio or Four Seasons and avoid the hassle until they hire more people.

The reality of the Wynn Las Vegas fell far short of my expectations. I’m glad I visited it, but don’t feel the need to re-visit. While it is a lovely hotel and casino (altho not if you enjoy slots), it lacks the luxury and grandeur of the Bellagio. It is reminiscent of the Bellagio in its “mood” and “color,” but it lacks the “takes your breath away” impact when you first walk through the front door. The water feature, waterfall and the Parasol Bar were the highlights. But, again, it falls short of the sheer beauty of driving up to the Bellagio and seeing the lake, the fountains, the sheer magnitude of the building itself. I was disappointed. I had expected that Wynn would do something more original, more breathtaking. I think the Bellagio takes first place, the Venetian second place as the “must see” to believe hotel/casinos in Las Vegas!

Wynn Las Vegas is everything you hope it will be. It provides an intimate experience unlike any other. Throughout the resort, dramatic decor excites the imagination. Each new area brings a new theme, giving profoundly diverse but equally impressive ambiance to every corner. The charming staff goes above and beyond to impress, from personal tours to calling their guests by name. The restaurants and bars offer world-class food, drink, service, intimacy, and environment. Alex is a perfect example (read my review below… you’ll recognize the style). In sum, Wynn Las Vegas has redefined the LV experience in every regard. It’s worth every penny.

I just returned from four nights at Wynn. It was a magnificent experience that I would tell people to try! I had a room on the top (60th) floor that had a panoramic view. It overlooked the golf course, which was great for me. The room was very large and had a liquid crystal – high def tv. The curtains and drapes were electronically controlled by a switch by the bed. What a treat to wake up, puch a button, and have a world of light and sights come flooding into the room. The bathroom was large and also had a lcd tv next to the sink. It was fun to shave, watch the news, and drink some very good coffee at the same time. Since the resort has only been open for a short time, there are quite a few non-guest visitors in the casino and resturants. Ask a host for a line pass and forget about waiting! I was a Bellagio guest – emphasize ‘was.’ There are few expereinces in life during a vacation like this, go for it.

Wynn Las Vegas sets the new standard for Las Vegas rooms. The service is top notch, despite a little check-in problem – but it was the first weekend! This place amazes around every bend.

Wynn Las Vegas is the pure epitome of luxury in Las Vegas. It is unmatched by all! The rooms ARE reminiscent of a New York apartment with luxurious and comfortable touches. The casino is new and freshly designed, with employees walking by every minute. The entire resort has the feel of a private club!

I got a chance to visit the Wynn Resort tonight. To borrow the tagline from the resort’s show “La Reve”, the Wynn Resort is a rearranged collection of rehashed ideas. But it will be a great anchor to the north end of the strip.

Architecturally the Wynn Resort is the Mirage repackaged in Bellagio form. Lush vegetation and waterfalls greet visitors from the street. Entering the Esplanade, one is quickly reminded of the shopping esplanade at the Bellagio, albeit less sterile and more colorful. The center of the complex is a flower atrium in the style of the Bellagio’s conservatory, but without the welcome quiet space. The adjoining casino is reminiscent of the Mirage Casino with Bellagio treatments. Throughout, the color scheme was chocolate browns accented by reds, purples, flowers, and confectionary colors.

The “weenie” of the resort is the “Water Feature”, a small lake with adjoining 100 foot high flat waterful that doubles as a screen. The fit of the screen/waterfall had all the charm of a drive-in movie theatre set in the middle of Yosemite. Worse, to actually enjoy the show requires seating at one of the restaurants or lounges that borders the cove. Other than the crowd overwhelming the security people at the top of the curvy escalators, a public viewing area was unavailable.

There is a working Ferarri / Masserati dealership and Ferarri store – I suppose that is the other “weenie”. A second theatre and a new expansion project to the north will enlarge the casino over time.

Overall a solid entry from Wynn, but not a revolutionary new casino on the strip.
