Item Description

Wynn Las Vegas-Enjoy a three-night stay at this 5-star resort in 630 square foot accommodations at the only 5-star casino resort in the world. The Wynn claims that some of its rooms cost upwards of $1 million to construct. All rooms are elegant with their coffee-and-cream palettes showing floor-to-ceiling windows, sitting areas with a sofa and ottoman, dining tables and chairs, and queen beds topped with European linens. Automatic drapery controls are bedside. Guests can expect high-speed Internet access, a fax machine, cordless phones and big flat-screen TVs. Baths are fitted with soaking tubs, glass-enclosed showers, dual sinks, TVs and high-quality toiletries.

This sexy, curved, copper-clad high-rise is perhaps developer Steve Wynn's best, raising the bar on elegance to dizzying heights. Given Mr. Wynn's track record (Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio), this is a heady entrant indeed, and one that carries a $2.5 billion price tag. The mirrored-glass skin of the 50-story tower reflects the lights of the city, as well as Mr. Wynn's Ferrari dealership, which stands rather conspicuously beside the entrance to the hotel. With 217 acres of grounds, this property is the only resort on the Strip to boast an 18-hole golf course. Commanding the exterior is a 150-foot tall mountain covered with pines, and an artificial stream that courses through waterfalls and ponds. Footbridges crossing the stream lead to the hotel's entrances on one side and the shopping arcade on the other.

The atrium is decked with the Wynn trademark of real and artificial flowers so artfully intertwined that it's nearly impossible to tell them apart. Other Wynn trademarks include lots of water and trees. Another feature of note is the calm one encounters upon entering the hotel: There are no clanging slot machines; the casino is thoughtfully removed from the lobby. Unique circular escalators descend to a patio by a three-acre pool with a 70-foot waterfall over a washboard-textured wall. Occasionally, the pool and waterfall are the stage for a multimedia extravaganza of light, water, animatronics, projected images and music.

This place is blessed with some of the most talented staff in the West, and guests enjoy attentive service and a team of concierges that are at least as well-connected as the lovely mosaic tiles that brighten the lobby floor. Customers in the 110,000-square foot casino can choose from more than 100 game tables, 2,000 slot machines, and low and high stakes poker rooms, as well as legal race and sports booking operations. Guests here want for almost nothing. Mr. Wynn's private art gallery features works by Picasso and Van Gogh. Orange-tufted chiffon fabric decorates ceiling alcoves in the shopping mall, which houses 76,000 square feet of retail space. Shops showcase the designs of Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, Dior, Cartier and Manolo Blahnik, among many others. A spa and salon are among this hotel's posh services. The Tom Fazio-designed golf course has two marshes and a waterfall.

Since opening in 2005, this pleasure palace has proved itself to be every bit as good as the best on the Strip, namely Caesars, Bellagio, Venetian, Mandalay and Mirage and MGM Grand. Golfers especially love this place, as it provides preferred tee times for guests. Unlike some of the properties in Vegas, this one could stand on its own in LA, New York or London, not just Las Vegas.

Valid through December 29, 2007 and from January 11, 2008 through one year from event date.
