| - have stayed here a many times, because I am such a stinkin degenerate, manage to dodge hotel room charges since they opened. Of course they rip my a new a**hole once in a while at the tables, nothing is free, especially in Las Vegas.
Could not believe my eyes when I checked in June 1 to find hardened spots of urine stains that would make motel 6's proud on the toilet! I chalked it up as a housekeeping faus pax and they apologized and cleaned toilet within 1/2 hour.
I must say when the Wynn first opened, their buffet was first-rate. Took my son there to eat and got charged 45 and 25, respectively. It was one of the worst buffets I ate. The new hotels do this quite often: start out great, then suck the customers in, lower food quality and options considerably. The rack of lamb thats carved at a station used to be my favorite. The chef cut the meat in front of me and it was ICE COLD I mean almost like it was meant to be cold. Terrible. The sushi is a JOKE they should call it "for people who have no clue what sushi is" section. I know I cant and dont expect yellowtail sahimi, but how much imitation crab meat laced crappy california rolls can you stomach? Crab legs another item which used to taste great now its a disaster. All I taste is sodium and water, mixed in with a "fishy" crab which probably has been hangin around the freezer too long. But people are so dumb and blind they keep coming back, paying 1/2 a c-note just to eat. Every single "hot" entree was anything but, ranging from lukewarm to dead cold, just disgusting. Lots of quantity, minimal quality, just doesnt suit the Wynn. But again, once you make a good name, its hard to bring down and thats the case here clearly.
Pool is good, clearly one of the least noisy and spacious pools in Vegas, and of course, towels are on the seats at 9am so good luck after that finding any shade.
Casinos. You know a dealer on the blackjack table once told me here "you dont look like youre having fun" I told her "lady, I am not here to have fun I am here to win money" For me I take playing blackjack on the tables seriously and get in a "war" mode. I leave the standing on soft 17's and standing on 16 vs dealer 10 to the sorry saps that boosts the casinos profit. I am a casual card-counter, and the double deck tables at the wynn and encore are decent, with good penetration but, like most casinos now, they have changed the stand on S17 rule to H17, which drives me fcuking crazy. These bastards are doing everything they can to not give you a tiny, microscopic chance of winning anything. The limits are awful, minimums are $50 before 9am and after that its all $100. I strolled to the encore to find 3 empty tables---thats 18 seats, of double deck $100 21. I asked the boss kindly if he can lower limit to ONE table to $50, he said no, jerk-off. Had dinner another night at Stratta, which was packed so assumed food was to die for. It was very average food disguised as Italian cuisine. Highlight was watching Steve Wynn enter and sit across us with his single-mom bimbo new 38-yr old gold-digger. Also, the cafe is decent but hardly memorable. A great resort thats showing a few cracks already in terms of quality slippage
