Wynn Hotel & Casino

Owned by Steve Wynn formally of the Mirage and the Bellagio, The Wynn boasts to be Las Vegas’s only 5 stars and 5-diamond resort and certainly wants to impress its guests. It is a fantastic looking property and with its Ferrari dealership, and shops such as Chanel, Dior, Cartier and Louis Vuitton just to name a few, it is looking to attract the Las Vegas high rollers. The opulence continues inside, you are firstly hit by the fragrance, which is pumped through the public areas, you won’t find any stale cigarette smells wafting from the casino here. There are waterfalls and lots of trees lit by thousands of pea lights. The atmosphere is one of the best in town and you feel a million dollars just being there.

Check in was quick and the staff are very courteous and happy to help. The service at the Wynn is second to none.

Room:

Entering the rooms you are greeted by fantastic views of either the strip or the Wynn’s exclusive golf course through the floor to ceiling windows dressed in expensive, electric drapes, tastefully decorated our room was one of the cleanest we experienced in Las Vegas, it had two queen size beds with beautiful linen, a sofa and a small dining table, a HD Flat screen TV.

The bathrooms are also of a great standard; they boast twin vanity units, a large bath and a separate shower and WC. There was also a 15” flat screen, for you to catch up with the soaps whilst you relax in the tub. The towels at the Wynn were fantastic quality but disappointingly there is no Aveda here, the freebies were The Wynn’s own brand.

If you are feeling a little cheeky try and blag an upgrade to a tower suite, you get a private entrance and even better service.

Gaming:

Offering 111,000 sq ft of gaming with the tables running through the centre, the Wynn’s casino is well thought out and easy to get around without much fuss.

Minimums on the tables start at around $15- $25, but they are few and far between, expect to be betting around $50 minimums, after all this is a premium casino and wants to attract the rich and beautiful.

Slot machines start at a penny and go up to a whopping $5000

The cocktails are amazing at the Wynn and are served by pretty waitresses; we were extremely impressed when one of them remembered us from our visit last year. It can take a while to be served though.

Dining:

The Wynn offers a wide selection of eateries, from Italian to Asian cuisine it is all of a very high standard and as with everything in the Wynn service is excellent in all. You’ll require a reservation in most of the restaurants and all have fairly hefty prices.
