Wynn Las Vegas Casino Resort to Open in April

Las Vegas, or rather, Steve Wynn is breaking ground again, set to open another casino resort on April 28, 2005. Called Wynn Las Vegas, which Mr. Wynn admits is the only building he has ever assigned his name to, is already introducing new milestones in design, as did his Mirage Casino Resort in ’89 and the Bellagio in ’98.

Now, Wynn has ventured into a more simplistic but graceful approach that puts emphasis on gardens, intimacy and accessibility. As for the gardens, there are two majestically sculpted gardens bordering the resort’s two main swimming pools, and a beautiful 35 feet waterfall at the end of the eighteenth hole on the redesigned Desert Inn golf course.

The casino resort has a theatre-in-the-round performing space that will seat up to 2,100, but at the same time putting no spectators more than forty-two feet from the performing space. Two shows are already lined up to perform there, including "Le Reye", another Franco Dragone Montreal cirque production, and the Tony award winning musical "Avenue Q".

With a 110,000 square feet casino floor and 2,700 luxuriant floor-to-wall windowed rooms, the Wynn’s new creation is par with the size and spaciousness of his former grand creations. However, this time around Wynn wanted to instill more accessibility to visitors. Therefore, there are several strategically placed elevators that limit walking distance to the casino and fine restaurant, which is sanctioned from the casino floor.

Reservations are already being booked online at the casino resort’s website, and range anywhere from $219 to $850 per night, depending on room size and day of the week.
