| - Much like the rest of the Wynn, Parasol Up / Parasol Down is as gorgeous of a lounge as they come. It's a spot where there are cocktails aplenty, people to watch, and a great night time view of the Lake of Dreams. It is a relaxing place for a killer drink and is ironically one of the least pretentious venues in the entire property.
For the uninitiated, Parasol Up and Parasol Down are almost two different venues. P-Up is the upstairs portion of the lounge, with comfy couches, dimmed lighting and a view of the lake from above. Downstairs is P-Down, where there is less seating near the bar but a more intimate feel all while taking in a view of the lake shows and seeing folks whisk on by. I prefer P-Down out of the two, especially if I'm drinking.
The cocktails are undoubtedly pricey at $15 each, but are potent with high quality liquor and made quite well. There is some magic in the Pear-a-sol and the Venetian Spritz is a nice one to start with. Classic drinks like an Old Fashioned or a Cosmo are very tasty and strong enough to where a couple should be sufficient to get the night rolling.
If you're not sure what to get, be sure to score some recs from the bartender / cocktail waitress. At the Wynn, service is paramount and P-Up / P-Down exhibits plenty of good vibes from the staff. I typically like to zone out and watch whatever performance the Lake of Dreams is having. It's kind of like watching the Fountains of the Bellagio (http://www.yelp.com/biz/fountains-of-bellagio-las-vegas) except indoors, without the excessive crowds, and a killer drink in hand. If only they had a serious happy hour ...
