A: The Wynn is all about the aesthetics. The colors are beautiful (Mandarin orange, Plum purple, etc.). The motifs are lovely (parasols, butterflies, etc.). There’s plenty of sparkling (mostly in the shop windows) and a lot of flowers and plants (not sure if they’re real though). Walking down the corridor of shops I noticed that in addition to being on the floors and ceilings of the walkway, butterflies also abound in the shop windows. I asked one of the salesmen who was standing by his shop door if the Wynn makes them put butterflies in their store. He said yes. The Wynn has a design team that tells them what to do! Personally I think it works. I love butterflies, and I love having them everywhere. They bring everything together and make it feel less like a mall!
Touchy Feely
A: I was so caught up in the touching of everything (inviting drapes, tassels on lampshades, etc.) when I got back to my car in the Fashion Show Mall parking garage, I almost reached out to touch the stucco support columns!
Layout
B: It’s a bit confusing because it’s round (think “Look kids, there’s Big Ben!”). But it’s also nice because it’s round. In a round casino you don’t wind up feeling “oh I have to get way over to the other end of the casino!” Also in a round casino the games are usually all in the middle, with a walkway around the edge. That makes getting around a lot simpler and getting confused a lot less likely.
Bathroom
A-: The bathrooms are classy and they go the extra mile. Lots of marble, parasol lamps on the ceiling, lamps with tassel shades in the stalls. I like the sinks, they are different. The stalls have high doors and partitions, and the hook on the center of the door is a safe place to hang your purse! I gave them A- instead of A because they just didn’t blow me away. It needs to be more funky or over the top for a full A!


Games
B-: I sat down at Gold Fish, but realized (before I put any money in, whew!) it was 5 cents a line minimum. (At 30 lines, that’s $1.50 per button-press—out of my league.) They have penny Wizard of Oz, which I’m a sucker for, and Crystal Forest, etc. The game selection is decent but the denominations are higher than what I prefer.
Attractions
C: There aren’t really any. There are some waterfall gazing spots. Pretty, flowered walkways. High end shops. There are two circular escalators which are kinda cool.
