| - Really, this should be 2 1/2 but I am feeling generous.
I have walked through the Wynn many times and always admired how beautiful it is, so I was really looking forward to our week staying there and had high expectations.
I do enjoy the aesthetics of the casino and shopping areas, although our resort room was entirely done in pinks so my husband felt like he was on vacation with Dame Edna. I would say the color scheme didn't take into consideration the comfort of most males, but I know my Grandma would love it!
Our room was very clean and the maid service was very good. However, I can't say this was any better than any other LV hotel I have stayed at. So far every hotel room has been very clean and spacious. They all have flat screen TVs in the bedroom area and in the bathroom. They all have had great views, comfortable beds, lovely toiletries, and great bathrooms with double vanities and separated bathtub/shower. Wynn was in no way superior.
There are a few downfalls w/ Wynn.
During our week stay I went to the concierge desk twice to ask for assistance and both times the ladies acted like they just wanted me out of their face. Absolutely horrible customer service, and all I was doing was asking for recommendations.
Wynn is very busy, there is always a crowd making it more of a chore to stroll around than a pleasure. Of course weekends in LV are always a madhouse, but even on a Tuesday afternoon the hotel was packed. Encore was a totally different story, so we would go over there for drinks and gambling - a much more comfortable atmosphere.
If you are someone who is wanting to catch a few vagina flashes when the wasted girls fall down - hang out in the Wynn or Encore in the wee hours. Tryst and XS became the bane of my existence and seeing the types of girls hanging out around there makes me afraid to have children. While the behavior of club goers is not a reflection on the hotels, having the clubs in the locations they are within the hotels was a problem for hotel guests. We were on the 26th floor and could hear the music from Tryst until 5am. I will admit it didn't keep me up, but I would think if you are on floors 10 or less it would be an issue. My friend staying in Encore had the same problem with the XS music. It was all very Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, which is just not my scene.
And my experience at the salon was the WORST of my life, but I will save that story for the salon/spa review.
I probably would not stay at Wynn again, although I would definitely consider staying at Encore. Encore felt more intimate. Both hotels are stunning and most definitely should be seen while in LV. And they both have some great dining options. I was just a bit let down as my expectations were very high.
