Had a fantastic three nights / four days staying a Wynn Las Vegas. Let's get the negatives out of the way - the buffet is overwhelming initially but compared to similar offerings at othe Las Vegas hotels it isn't as good. Check in was an absolute nightmare - easily 45 minutes wait which is unacceptable and no apologies were forthcoming which isn't good enough.

On the plus side - great location, close to everything, super stylish hotel, great spacious rooms, fast elevators, friendly staff who are always willing to help, pool area great, drinks not too expensive and the casino was easily the nicest we visited.

All in all, highly recommended - but please Wynn, get the check in process sorted.

My fiance and I stayed at the Wynn for four nights (Friday through Tuesday) for a getaway from the never-ending rain in the Northeast. We took a cab to the Wynn and checked in at around 11:30pm. There was no line and the front desk woman (Sydney) was extremely professional and welcoming. We were upgraded to the 50th floor to a room overlooking the golf course and mountains. It was a spacious room with a king bed, loveseat and ottoman, desk, flat screen tv, and amazing bathroom with separate tub and shower. Even though it was a "smoking optional" room, it didn't smell at all, and I am very sensitive. We spent every day by the pool, which was gorgeous and well kept by the staff. Cocktail waitresses were always coming around and there was also free ice water coolers that you could help yourself to throughout the day. We ate lunch at the pool bar two of the days, which was good (chips and salsa/guac and a sandwich). We didn't eat at any of the fine dining restaurants at the Wynn but the Terrance Point Cafe for breakfast was good and the Coffee shop had a delicious berry, granola, and yogurt parfait. We went to XS on Sunday night (ask the concierge for complementary passes) which was really cool and I would definitely recommend. I think its a lot crazier on a Saturday night though. Overall, the hotel was beautiful and the staff was attentive, polite, and professional (and we are definitely not rich and uppity or rich or uppity looking... we were casually dressed the whole time). I would definitely recommend the Wynn to anyone! We got a great deal with airfare on Orbitz.

We received 3 nights free stay at the Wynn. When we arrived, we were told that we had been expected the day before, and didn't have a room for us. We knew the reservations we made, and the desk clerk confirmed that there had been a change to the date by us, which was an untruth. Don't know how they got that info, or they were just trying to mess with us. If they did the change to our date, they certainly did not notify us.

My other issue was the pool area. We had no problem lining up at the pool to reserve some beds (which was the only way to guarantee seating anytime during the day). However we were blatantly ignored by the pool waitresses (or whatever they were called). Tried to place orders with them, which were never brought to us. Or sometimes they would tell us they'll be right back to take our order, and never would come back. It was easier just getting our own stuff.

My final issue was the way everything was so overpriced. Food there was ridiculous. I got so tired of paying so much!

I will say that I loved our room, it was huge, comfortable. The mattress was amazing, and that was the rollaway bed!

First let me emphasize... take comfortable shoes! Yes you want to look sharp, but nothing ruins your trip faster than blisters. I have been to Vegas 3 times and have had major blisters three times. This time my sister and I resorted to going to Macy's and purchasing house shoes to finish up the trip. (They were cute black ballet style shoes that actually didn't look too bad.)<P>

I had received a card advertising two FREE night at the Wynn. I had already booked four night trip at MGM, but canceled two of the nights there, because who in their right mind would pass up FREE nights at the Wynn. <P>

I will say my first two nights of the trip at MGM were nice, nothing spectacular, but i had a good rate there also and the staff and rooms were very pleasant. THe slot machines were tight! My sister had arrived about 10 hours before me and had went thru her cash quite quickly. The check-in was very smooth.... the checkout at around 10:30 was a really big hassle, after them moving me to three different lines, a nice fellow finally noticed that I wasn't making any progress and moved me to the VIP checkout. <P>

We took our taxi to the WYNN, it was early for check-in probably around noon, but they already had a room ready and let us check in early. The staff was so sweet. THe lobby as well as the rooms, casino etc. were immaculate at all times. Our doorknob was a little sticky, but they sent someone up in minutes and fixed it right away. THe view wall sized window had a nice view of the golf course, but I am sure it was not one of the better views. (for the price I was well satisfied.) The curved hallways kept giving flashbacks of "The Shining". <P>

The Red Card comp system seemed to really pay off the first day with free buffet, free play etc., but the next day I had racked up 1000 points and it wouldn't even get me a free breakfast, so I am not sure how it works exactly. The machines were nice but also very tight<p>

We saw Loui Anderson which was wonderful, THe Jersey boys which were also great. Across the street in front of the mall is a discount ticket booth for shows, it pays to get there early and you can find tickets to most shows the day of for about half price.<p>

We ate at the breakfast buffet at the Wynn two mornings and it was ok, nothing great. We had lunch at one restaurant in the shopping esplanaide and it was also ok. It is worth a taxi ride to do the Breakfast Buffet at Paris. It is much better and less expensive too. The Wynn caters to a very upscale traveler, which is great, but I did miss having deli or fast food area nearby for a quick snack.<p>

Make sure to visit Encore. It is spectacular also and the shopping hall connects it with the Wynn it is a really quick walk. In my experience it was worth the 5 minute or so walk to the casino in Encore as it had the only slot machines that I found that were paying off at all.<P>

I have stayed at Harrah's, MGM, Caesars Palace and now Wynn. If money is no object or you luck up like me and get it for FREE... the Wynn is the best hands down.
