"Now a little more than two years old, the Wynn still has \"It\". \n\nThere is not too much that I could say that hasn't been said by the other 485 reviews, except to share my experience: \n\nSteve Wynn has the experience of building so much of modern day Vegas. I just stayed at Bellagio last month and with the Wynn/Encore, he has truly built the best hotel. The difference between Bellagio and W/E is that they are now \"corporate-owned\" whereas Steve gets to do whatever he wants or needs to do.\n\nThe rooms are opulent. I should warn you that I think the front desk plays an upgrade game where they tell you that your room is not ready and then they try to upsell you to be a bigger room. I witnessed this on either side of me when I was checking in. They had a problem with my reservation and I was offered an \"upgrade\" for free. Comparing rooms with my coworkers, I could not see any difference. Hrmmm\n\nThe food is all over-the-top good. There are NO inexpensive restaurants in the hotel. Expect to eat like a king everywhere and pay a fortune for it. I ate at Lakeside and can wholely recommend it, if only for the experience of seeing a strange animatronic show. Steve Wynn certainly has a sense of humor having a giant, black-lit frog sing \"It's a Wonderful World\"\n\nThe convention services are phenominal. Not a blip of trouble and everyone was super nice and responsive. Catered lunches were almost as good as the restaurant food - definitely a departure from your normal troughs of food at trade shows. \n\nThe clubs - XS and Surrender - oh if the walls could only talk. I am beyond the \"clubbing\" age, but it was definitely a treat to see how/where the rich, young, rich, beautiful, rich people party.\n\nI am not sure who/how the $20/day resort fee works. I thought I signed something agreeing to it when I checked in. But then when I went to use the fitness center - they told me I didn't sign up for it. And then they wanted $15 for each day of using the center. \n\nYes, the blackjack tables START at $25 per hand - ON A TUESDAY NIGHT! There were no shortage of people playing/losing at the $100 table. I guess it goes with the rest of the place. \n\nOn the flip side, I only paid $159/night with my convention rate, but Steve made up for the [cheap] room rate with everything else. However, it was all worth it."^^ . "2011-11-04T00:00:00"^^ .
