Vegas Baby! Vegas!

So much to choose from, but I love the Wynn Resort. It took me a while to warm up to the Wynn because I had a soft spot for the old Desert Inn which was demolished to make way for the hotel, but this property is spectacular.

I guess when you have as much money as Steve Wynn, you might as well name the place after yourself, but he has every right to be proud of it. Its beautiful tinted facde gives it an otherworldly feel and also serves to reflect the punishing desert sunlight, keeping the place reasonably cool during the hot summer months.

The casino is great, the restaurants are over the top and, my buddy Pete will testify that the "Eurpean sunbathing" pool (complete with bar and outdoor blackjack tables!) is not to be missed.

According to Wiki:

Wynn Las Vegas is one of the tallest buildings in Las Vegas, towering 60
stories over the Strip. It is located at Las Vegas Boulevard
South and Sands Avenue, diagonally from the Fashion Show
Mall
.

The 2,716 rooms range in size from 620 square feet (58 m²) to the
villas at 7,000 square feet (650 m²) with a 111,000 ft² (10,200 m²) casino, a
convention center with 223,000 ft² (20,700 m²) of space, 76,000 square feet
(7,000 m²) of retail space.

The Wynn is a must hit your next time in Sin City!
