| - Reviewing Tower Suites. Spontaneous decision to spend the weekend in LV had me phoning the Wynn casino marketing to see if I could get a room comped for the weekend. Luckily, I was able to book a complimentary room based on play from last visit (two nights would have been $800+). We checked in right around midnight on Friday, there was no line so it was pretty easy process. One note, I realize it was very late but front desk clerk was not friendly and actually our reception was borderline icy and not what I am accustomed to at Wynn properties. We were given room 56-62. I would not recommend it and here's why:
1. Dated decor. Mr Wynn, it's time to fire your designer. This room looks like my grandmothers high end condo. Cream colored, tufted leather sofa, cream plaid carpeting. They've tried to modernize with art and some furniture but it doesn't work.
2. Noisy. Really noisy! Club music until 4am and starts back up at 10am at the club at the pool. While I don't come to Vegas for R&R, i do hope to get SOME sleep. This is, by far, the worst thing about Wynn.
3. There are no usable outlets near the bed. Major inconvenience if your phone needs charge and just plain unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.
4. Elevators to suites are small and hot (yes, I'm knit-picking).
5. No room service menu in our suite.
6. Not related to the room, but the Wynn is seriously lacking a 24/7 casual restaurant (think Grand Lux). At 1:30am our options were Allegro, a mid level Italian eatery or counter service at The Cafe. We chose Allegro and ended up eating undercooked pasta and paid $6 for bread basket...at an Italian restaurant. Really???? I'm not even going to go into how bad the service was.
A positive note...nice bathroom toiletries and the bed was very comfortable.
Don't think I'll be back to the Wynn again. The Encore is a different story (it's lovely) but that's another review. I think I'll be back at Venetian next visit.
