Hotels in LasVegas

Costing $2.7 billion, the Wynn is a luxury hotel and casino resort located directly opposite the Fashion Show Shopping Mall. Unlike other Las Vegas hotels, it doesn’t have a theme – it just exudes class. Like a huge curving wave of glistening darkened glass, the Wynn is jaw-dropping. At 50 storeys tall, it’s one of the tallest buildings on the strip and covers 215 acres.

Named after casino developer Steve Wynn and opened on April 28th 2005, the Wynn has 2,716 rooms and suites a 110,000 square feet casino, 22 restaurants, and an 18 hole luxury golf course (the Wynn Golf and Country Club).

And it works, too. No Egyptian Sphynx, Eiffel Tower or New York skyline is needed to draw your attention to the building. Its size, style, and the glorious greenery and lakes that surround it are enough to draw you in all by themselves. Of course, the waterfall, enormous moving sign and huge booming soundtrack that booms out as you soak in its splendour don’t hurt, either!

To give you an indication of the luxury of the Wynn, it also has its own Ferrari and Maserati dealership located on-site. In case you’re wondering just who’d buy a Ferrari or Masserati whlst on holiday, remember this is Vegas – people can occasionally win vast sums of money! If you’ve just beat the house, what better way for the house to get its cash back than to tempt you to spend that cash at the same hotel. Marketing genius!

For those not lucky enough to scoop the jackpot, the Wynn also has its own car exhibition (the Penske-Wynn), featuring many of the world’s top supercars for people to drool over.
