The first time I ever set foot in the Wynn was waaaaay before the opening. They had just imploded the Desert Inn months before to make way for Steve Wynn's Le Reve, the original name of the Wynn. The only thing left of the old hotel was the lobby which housed the Marketing and Sales Department. I was working for a travel magazine at that time and was privy to preview some of the plans for this ultra-luxe hotel.
Considering the fact that we were in the remnants of the Deserts Inn's hotel lobby, in true Steve Wynn style, this temporary office space was redressed to impressed. Fully outfitted with the $2 Million Ferrari Mr. Wynn had just purchased. Interesting fact, Mr. Wynn is almost legally blind and does not have a driver's license. Kind of a shame that one would spend so much on a sports car, never to drive it to it's full potential.
Anyways, some time later I able to revisit the newly opened Hotel and I was not disappointed. True to the plans that I was able to preview, the Hotel was more impressive in person than on paper. So if you want swank, this is your hotel, but it'll cost ya!
