Wynn Las Vegas

Erected on the spot where once stood the legendary Desert Inn, one of Las Vegas' newest landmarks is the glamorous Wynn Las Vegas. The latest property developed by Vegas casino kingpin Steve Wynn opened its doors in April 2005. Sheathed in coppery bronze reflecting the desert sun, this 42-storey, 78-hectare (192-acre), US$2.7 billion megaresort boasts a 10,000-sq-m (110,000-sq-ft) casino, 2,700 guest rooms, an 18-hole professionally designed golf course, a fine art gallery and Las Vegas' only fully authorised Ferrari-Maserati dealership. The centrepiece of the resort is a 46m- (150ft-) high mountain with a five-storey waterfall cascading into a man-made lake featuring The Lake of Dreams, a multimedia spectacular in an environmental theatre setting. The Wynn also features a US$70m, 2,000-seat domed showroom with a circular stage, the first of its kind in the city and the home of Le Reve, the latest production from Franco Dragone, of Cirque du Soleil fame and the mastermind behind three of Las Vegas' most popular shows.
