Open since 2005, the Wynn is one of Las Vegas’ finest jewels. Built by Steve Wynn, the same man who built the Bellagio and the Mirage, the Wynn has the most upscale aura in town and it feels as much like a mansion as a casino.

And all of the programs that we're putting in place for our slot - for our slot win, we launched the Wynn Rewards program, which is a first for us in North America, which is a tiered card program.

The main theme of Wynn casino is that it is simply gorgeous, using red as its primary color. Red is the color of the walls, slot chairs, tables and many of the staff uniforms. On top of the decor, the Wynn features numerous views of gardens, lakes, and waterfalls both inside and outside the casino.

The Wynn draws in a ton of tourists that are either staying here or just want to see what the hype is all about. Given all the party options there are at Wynn, it can get pretty rowdy at night. It’s also one of the most preferred casinos for high limit gamblers, and because everything about the Wynn is top notch, plenty of locals hang out there too.

The Wynn is located on the Northern side of Las Vegas Blvd just across from Palazzo. As you go further north, it’s a bit of a walk till you reach the next casino. By the time you do, you’ll have passed a great spot to get some late night inexpensive chow in Tacos El Gordo, along with some souvenir stores and other local shopping. However, this area of town is a bit seedy. The areas to avoid in Las Vegas are the edges of the strip, and that’s kind of what this is because of the large gap between casinos.

The general rule is the further you go north the more seedy Las Vegas gets, and the Wynn is essentially the cutoff point to where the North begins. So, its location isn’t the best because even if you walk south towards the central part of the strip, while it’s only a short a while to get there it still requires that extra effort.

This is important to consider because the hotel, while it’s affordable, it is not exactly cheap. If your plan is to explore the strip and not spend much time in the room, then we advise staying at one of the many hotels smack in the middle of the action because several of them are relatively inexpensive. If you want to stay mainly in one fantastic casino with a majestic room then you can do no better than the Wynn.

Self-parking is accessed off the strip and valet is one block east of the strip on Sands Avenue. Each service charges based on how long you stay, but if you’ve gambled or played enough poker in the last year either or both services could be free. If you are new to the Wynn but are planning to gamble a lot, you can inquire about getting your parking validated.

Casino at Wynn

The gaming floor is a massive 189,000 square feet in which there are multiple pits. Smoke is controlled very well, and the floor is totally wide open and visible which is nice because some casino floors have all kinds of twists and turns. This can potentially cause you to finally stumble on the table you wanted after you thought you’d already seen them all.

As it is the standard for a top tier casino, most of the table minimum bets are at least $15 and they do not do you any favors with the payouts and odds.

Baccarat

You’ll have no problem finding a baccarat game as this game has its own large, dedicated section. Minimums were $100 for its Commission-Free game. This seemed a little high, but we were told $50 tables open at 8 PM.

Blackjack

Blackjack pays 6-5 for its $15 tables, but you can get 3-2 on its $100, $50, and $25 tables. The dealer must hit on soft 17 at all tables.

The 6-5 and 3-2 tables are separated in different pits, but we noticed something strange. We saw a $25 table in the 3-2 pit, and we also saw one in the 6-5 pit. The 3-2 allowed a $10,000 max and the 6-5 allowed only $5,000 but it still didn’t make any sense, so we asked. Normally that $25 table is a $15 table, hence the 6-5 payout. They moved the minimum up to $25 that particular day because all of its players sat down with $25 chips. So those players were unknowingly getting ripped off on the blackjack payout.

Seeing all this just goes to show how little casinos might care about its customers since they so willingly allowed these players to short themselves. The players certainly could have asked about a 3-2 payout, so it also speaks volumes as to how little some gamblers, know, care, or pay attention to what they are doing.

Nevertheless, if you are gambling you might as well get the biggest payout you are entitled to. And since this casino isn’t willing to tell you anything beneficial unless you ask, we advise you be careful.

Craps

We were happy to see craps could be played with $10 or $15 minimums but it only pays double odds, and this is the worst payout in town. The standard odds are 3-4-5, but you must play the $25 table to get them.

Roulette

Standard double zero roulette can be played for $15 or $25 minimums. There is also a virtual roulette game with a live wheel for $5 near the slots but know that it’s all in Chinese.

At nighttime the Wynn will also spin a triple zero roulette wheel for $15. The difference in adding the third zero is simple: The house has an even bigger edge. This begs the question then why offer triple zero roulette? For the same reason they raised limits on the 6-5 tables for the aforementioned blackjack players. To see if they’ll notice they’re scamming themselves.

In the case of roulette, there is nothing about the casino to criticize since triple zero roulette is a far newer concept than 6-5 blackjack. But players really should notice this difference and realize they’re needlessly burning extra money, but once again they either don’t know or don’t care. It’s really amazing that this is how it is, and that this freeroll experiment actually worked out for the house, but the Wynn is not the only casino to attempt this.

The only reason one should ever play triple zero roulette is if they want to bet the zeros which pays 11-1 (actual odds are 13-1). Otherwise it’s the definition of wasting money.

Other Wynn Table Games

– Casino War ($15 minimum)
– Three Card Poker ($15 minimum)
– Ultimate Texas Hold’em Progressive ($15, $25 or $100 minimum)
– Crazy 4 Poker Progressive ($25 minimum)
– Let It Ride ($10 minimum)
– High Card Flush ($15 minimum)
– Fortune Pai Gow Poker Progressive ($25 minimum)
– Pai Gow Tiles ($50 minimum)
– Big Wheel ($5 minimum**)

**The Big Wheel tables at Wynn have the highest minimum in town, you can usually find this for $1 or $2)

This is a solid mixed game selection, although none of them are challenging to find elsewhere except for War. Given how large the space is, there are always plenty of tables open.

High Limit Table Games Room at Wynn

The Wynn cares about its big gamblers, so it has a very large, quiet, and secluded room to accommodate them. There are many baccarat tables which start at $300 minimums. 6-deck blackjack has a $100 minimum in which the dealer must stand on all soft 17. There are two single zero roulette wheels for $100, and there is even a craps table but it is only available upon request.

Slots at Wynn

We don’t know the exact number of slots, but we estimate there are at least 2,000 machines. They begin at a penny slots and limits are available in all the standard denominations including $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $100 and even higher. Their slot game selection is wide and include many of the most games along with some distinct ones. Some of there most popular titles include Top Dollar, Buffalo Gold, Cleopatra, Willy Wonka, Wheel of Fortune, Megabucks, Monopoly, Lock it Link and The Walking Dead.

High Limit Slots Room at Wynn

High limit slots players have a large quiet area that allows some light to shine in from the beautiful garden located right outside. By that window there is also a section to lounge around in with a big screen TV. There is a mix of new video slots along with the traditional machines like Cleopatra and Wheel of Fortune. Limits start at $5 and rise to $10, $25, $50, $100, $200, $500, and $1,000 a pull, but the highest limits are only offered on the traditional slot.

A view of the high limit slots room from our last visit:

While the high limit section is mostly slots, video poker players will still find a wide enough selection of games and limits of $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $50, and $100.

Video Poker at Wynn

Along with the video poker games at bars which you can play for comped drinks, there are many sections of video poker all around the casino. You’ll find whatever game you want and limits often stay between a quarter and $1, but there are also many $2 and $5 machines along with some $10 and $25. Limits go as low as a nickel and many of the games give you the choice of 3-5 betting limits which you can change at any time, but other games may be exclusively for $5. Most bar video poker games are capped at $1 or $5, but some of the B Bar games allow you to bet up to $25.

Sportsbook at Wynn

One of its finest attractions, the newly renovated Wynn sportsbook is the very best on the strip. It will always be active and is guaranteed to fill up for big games. Unless you are sitting in the very back, it is away from casino noise, and the back is also the only area where you are allowed to smoke. There is a full video poker bar behind the sportsbook, and right behind that is Charlie’s Bar & Grill which also has a ton of TVs and will deliver food to the sportsbook.

Seating is comprised of dozens of premium red leather swivel chairs along with plenty of desk space seats that have granite countertops and their own TV. VIP seating is also available for either big bettors or those who will buy the one or two drink minimum. The VIP seats are in the back. They have their own roped off space made up of spacious chairs couches.

The sound quality is loud and clear and the picture quality for the many TVs, giant screen and small are great. Horse players are accommodated just as much as sports bettors, and the betting board is large and easy to read.

A view of the Wynn Sportsbook from our last visit:

Obtaining free drinks isn’t exactly cheap, but you can do a lot worse than the Wynn; you must wager at least $150 for sports or $20 for horses to receive a drink ticket. These hefty amounts reduce drinks to a mere throw-in, but this is now the norm.

If you’re going to be late or don’t have time to drop in on the sportsbook, you can open an account right inside the sportsbook for free and download the Wynn sports betting app. Here you’ve got access to all the lines, however, if you want to bet horse racing you need to create a separate account. Betting on games after they have started, known as live betting is still not available.

Hotel at Wynn

This magnificent 5-star hotel is sure to satisfy. There are over 2,700 rooms with its standard room starting at 640 square feet. Larger rooms with panoramic views of Las Vegas are also available as well as Bed & Breakfast. During the week these rooms start at $170 and get over $200, and they can double on the weekends. Sizable discounts are offered if you become a Wynn Insider.

In addition to the room rate is the tax inclusive $44.22 nightly and mandatory resort fee. This is the highest fee on the strip and doesn’t include anything worth talking about beyond Internet, fitness center, and pool access.

If you want a suite, they begin at over 900 square feet and get up to more than double that size. The price jumps are huge considering the space is only 2-4x larger, but that’s just the Wynn once again seeing how far it can stretch its boundaries. You still have to pay the resort fee, but the good news is you get $25 off each night and up to $250 for your trip.

If you are trying to stay in the palace like villas which are the size of large houses, prepare to spend in the thousands. Even if you are willing to do this, availability cannot be guaranteed as these are held in place for VIPs. If you are used to receiving comped rooms, this is not going to be an especially easy task at Wynn. You will certainly have to gamble a considerable amount, so make sure you make contact with a casino host before you begin.

Spa and Fitness Center

The first spa in Vegas to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Award is open daily from 7 AM to 8 PM, with its salon opening at 9 AM. Day passes are $40 for hotel guests and drop-ins pay $75. This huge facility offers a huge menu with every massage, body treatment, facial, and any other service a spa goer could possibly think of.

The state-of-the-art fitness center opens at 5:30 AM and closes at 8 PM. In addition to its start of the art cardio and weight equipment are a wide variety of classes. They are all $30 or $100 if you want a private class. All classes must be made by appointment.

Restaurants at Wynn

It’s hard to find a cheap meal at the Wynn, but that is to be expected from any prestige casino. The café is open 24 hours, the buffet is one of the best in the world, and every restaurant has selections for vegetarians and vegans.

Some of what the Wynn considers casual dining would fall under fine dining at other casinos. Nevertheless, some of its diverse choices are Allegro which opens late afternoon and stays open all night. The Terrace Point Café is outdoors and open for breakfast and lunch, and Asian goers can go to Red 8 for lunch or dinner.

Fine Dining

Including what is at its connecting neighbor The Encore, the Wynn has eight choices for fine dining. You’ll have to ante up but from the SW Steakhouse to its seafood, to its Chinese, Japanese, America, and Italian options the Wynn will make you anything you want and pour you your favorite wine. Some of them, like Mizumi and SW are set within a stellar ambience of waterfalls and gardens, making the culinary experience memorably aesthetic.

One eating strategy you might want to consider is selecting mainly from the wide variety of appetizers and sides because in our experience, these tend to be a better value than the entrees.

Bars at Wynn

There are multiple 24 hour bars spread around the Wynn that tailor to the video poker player. Though at night it can get pretty noisy, these bars are small enough that serious video poker players should not be disturbed.

Of the several other bars and lounges, two of its noteworthy choices are Parasol Up and Parasol Down. Parasol Up is a cocktail lounge right near the Esplanade and overlooks the 40 foot waterfall for the Lake of Dreams. Parasol Down is downstairs right outside SW. Here you can also get cocktails, small plates, and enjoy the view of the Lake of Dreams from the bottom.

Nightclubs at Wynn

Nightlife is one of the Wynn’s specialties beginning with XS which has been ranked #1 in the U.S. for the last five years. There are bars and hangouts indoors and outdoors, and nightswims during the warmer months. The club is open Friday-Sundays with some of its popular music guests being The Chainsmokers, Skrillex, and David Guetta. You can get VIP table and bottle service on either the inside or at one of the cabanas surrounding the Encore pool if you would rather have some distance from the loudness.

Since this is the most successful club in Vegas, it is a pretty penny to enter and drink. The cover charge varies, but it will be no less than $59 for men and $39 for women, and that breakdown can get up to $141/$87 depending on what time of year you go, who the DJ is, or if it’s during a nightswim.

Wynn’s other nightclub is called Intrigue. It’s a lot smaller but is nothing to sneeze at. Its cover also varies but is no less than $55/$33 for men and women. VIP service is also available, and there is an outdoor patio with a closeup view of the waterfall and pyrotechnics.

Introduction

Wynn Las Vegas — “The Wynn” — is a luxury Resort and Casino located on the north end of the Las Vegas strip. Built at a cost of $2.7 billion, the resort is named after Steve Wynn. Steve Wynn is known for his very successful gamble on the creation of the Mirage back in 1989—a truly opulent resort at the time and the resort which transformed Las Vegas into the colony of megaresorts that it is today. Wynn also was responsible for building Treasure Island (1993) and the Bellagio (1998). After these accomplishments, Wynn sold these properties in 2000 to the MGM group and bought the Desert Inn Hotel. With purchases of the adjacent golf course and private residences, he was able to build the 215 acre “Wynn” which opened on April 28, 2005 - Wynn’s wife’s birthday, the 55th Anniversary of the opening of the original Desert Year, and 5 years from the day Wynn purchased the site.

The Wynn resort is located at the northeast intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue, directly across the Strip from the Fashion Show Mall, and just north of the Palazzo/Venetian complex. The hotel features 2,716 rooms that range in size from 640 sq feet to the villas at 7,000 sq feet. The Nevada Gaming commission lists the size of the Wynn's casino, including the Encore, at 186,187 feet. I would estimate the square feet to be about 110,000 for the Wynn and 75,000 for the Encore.

Together with the adjacent Encore which opened in late 2008, the entire Wynn resort complex has a total of 4,750 rooms. Its height is 614 ft and there are 45 floors. The resort has earned AAA 5 diamond, Forbes (Mobil) five-star, and Michelin five-star ratings and is considered to be one of the finest hotels in the United States. Both the Wynn and Encore collectively hold more Forbes five-star awards than any other resort and casino in the world. Wynn Las Vegas also made Forbes Award history by earning five-star ratings in every category - Hotel, Restaurant, and Spa - for two consecutive years. (Source: Wikipedia)

I stayed at the Wynn from March 5 to 9, 2009. Here is my review.

Hotel

We stayed at the Wynn from March 5 to 9, 2010, over 4 nights. We booked the trip through Expedia.com as a package. Because most hotels have a lowest advertised rate policy on their own web site, the only way that you can get rates below the advertised rate is to purchase the hotel stay as part of a package. In this way, we were able to take advantage of a $95/night rate plus the 12% Nevada Hotel tax ($11.40/night) and a $75 resort credit. We could not pass up this offer for a premium hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel seemed to be more crowded on Sunday and Monday night than during the weekend, indicating that a busy convention was in town during the week.

The registration in the hotel is conveniently located close to the doors where the taxi lets you off. The registration lobby itself is fairly small, with desks located on either side, and with no preference to membership as in other hotels. The line happened to be Wendy's style that night, but without any ropes or indications on where to queue, the line-up could be disorganized with many people in different lines. As it stood, with us checking in around 8:30pm on Friday night, there was one person in front of us. Check in took a few minutes to complete and we were served within a couple of minutes.

The room that was assigned to us was a 'Resort Room', the lowest category, on the 9th floor overlooking the back of the hotel and the golf course. I kindly asked the clerk if she had anything else available on a higher floor. She made a call, and we were reassigned a room on the 26th floor overlooking the strip. Normally I try the “$20 trick” (where you give the clerk $20 with your credit card and ask kindly if any upgrades are available) up front, but I had heard attempts like this do not work at this hotel. Instead, I tipped the clerk afterwards $20 for getting us a much better room. She offered to upgrade our room to a suite for a nominal fee of $200 per night, which we of course turned down!

Our room keys also served as the Wynn/Encore's 'Red Card', the Player Card’s program. It seemed a bit disconcerting that you could lose your player's card in one of the machines and any passer-by could pick up your room key. We were given no coupons, just directions to our room.

The resort elevators are in the back of the casino, approximately 100 yards from the registration desk. Finding the elevators was pretty easy, and there are two banks of elevators serving both the lower floors (seven elevators) and the upper floors. Our room was very close to the elevator but during our stay, the only noise we heard in our rooms was the sound of the adjacent door closing.

The room itself was very large and well appointed as you would expect. The bed was king-sized (extremely comfortable) with night tables and a clock radio with an IPod docking station. There was a small couch with an ottoman on the right side of the room. Near the floor-to-ceiling windows is a desk on the right hand side with a HP printer where you can send and receive faxes as well as a jack to plug in your computer (wireless is also available), a night stand and a phone. The phone is personalized with your name appearing on the screen (a nice touch). Local/800 calls were $1.25/call. The TV was a 42 inch Sharp Aquos LCTV HDTV which was folded to the wall and could be turned to face the bed or the couch so you could watch TV from anywhere in the room. Channels were limited, but you are in Las Vegas after all. The room had an easy to use temperature control and the noise of the fan was very quiet. The windows were floor-to-ceiling and the room itself seemed to be about 20 feet wide. As well, there was a long, narrow vent at the base of the window that you could open and close to let in fresh air. The only drawback to the vent is that you could hear the noise from the outside, which included, unfortunately, the background rhythms from the Tryst nightclub all Friday and Saturday night.

The view overlooked the Lake of Dreams (Wynn's waterfall), Treasure Island, and the Venetian. Because the hotel is set back from the strip, you could not see past the Palazzo complex to the south. However, there were gorgeous views of the mountains.

As well, there was a well-stocked mini-bar and snacks. All were weighted, meaning that if you took the item for longer than 60 seconds you would be charged for the item. This was well explained both at the check-in counter and in the room itself. There was no coffee maker. The safe was the standard kind in Vegas with a four digit code to lock. You could also swipe a credit card to lock and unlock the door. The Wynn also supplied robes.

The very large bathroom featured both a large shower (fully glass enclosed) and a full sized soaker tub with double vanity sinks and a chair to sit in, with marble flooring. There was small 14” LCD television in the bathroom as well which could be viewed from the tub or from the sinks. The Wynn provided larger than normal bottles of shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer and shower gel and a well stocked vanity basket.

Restaurants

The Wynn/Encore boasts a variety of restaurants from Cafes to Michelin 2 Star french cuisine. We took park in the Wynn buffet and found it to be extremely good with a fantastic selection, but not quite worth the $40 price. Actually, I thought that all of the restaurants and items in the Wynn resort was overpriced by about 30%. For example, a 16 oz dark roast coffee was $3.75 in the hotel café, while the Starbucks across the street at the Fashion Mall was available for $1.85. We did eat a couple of times in the Terrace Point Cafe which was mostly empty at the time we ate (9:00pm). The food there was generally fine with the exception of the Lobster Agnoletti. While the lobster was quite plentiful, the pasta itself was very sticky (as if it had not been rinsed after cooking).

We also lunched at Zoozacrackers and had Roast Beef and Corned Beef sandwiches on rye bread. Though expensive, the sandwiches were packed with meat and were very tasty.

Here is a list of fancy restaurants available at the Wynn with links to their websites.

• Alex — French, Michelin 2 stars, AAA 5 Diamond Award, James Beard Foundation Award.
• Wing Lei — French influenced Shanghai, Michelin 1 star, AAA 4 Diamond Award
• SW Steakhouse — AAA 4 Diamond Award
• Daniel Boulod — French Brasserie, Michelin 1 Star
• Bartolotta — Italian Coastal Cuisine, AAA 4 Diamond Award
• Okada — Japanese, AAA 4 Diamond Award
• Country Club Grill — A New American Steakhouse
• Stratta — 'Casual yet stylish dining experience'
• Tableau — Modern American Cuisine

The following are the casual dining options are the Wynn.

• Buffet
• Red 8 — Chinese
• Terrace Pointe Cafe — American
• Zoozacrackers — Deli
• Cafe at the Drugstore — Coffee, sandwiches, & donuts
• Pizza Place

Gambling

According to the Wynn's own website, the casino is 110,000 square feet which seemed to be right. According to Nevada Gaming, the casino has 2,900 slot machines and 270 table games. I believe that these figures total both of Encore and Wynn's casinos together as I could not find figures for Encore. That said, I would estimate that the Wynn's casino is about 70,000 square feet and the Encore's 40,000 square feet.

The casinos feature 17 craps tables (I counted 11 at the Wynn and 6 at the Encore), 126 '21' tables (which I didn’t count), including the dreaded 6-5 blackjack tables, and Blackjack Switch. Limits varied between $10 and $25 depending on the time of day. As well, the casinos feature the standard table games (Pai-Gow – poker and tiles, Let it Ride, Caribbean Stud, 4-Card Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold-em Poker, and 3-card poker. As well, ShuffleMaster’s Rapid Roulette game was featured.

The Wynn's casino is laid out in a rectangular pattern split into four quadrants with wide walkways in the middle, which made it very easy to navigate. The casino is surrounded by the Parasol Bar and Lake of Dreams at the front of the Casino and the registration area. Restaurants and nightclubs are all along the sides of the hotel walkways to the convention centre and Encore at the back. When you walk into the magnificent Wynn, the first word that might come into your mind is “red”. The casino itself features bright red colors, high ceilings, and elegant lighting. There is a Red Card booth in each quadrant which you can use to break bills, cash in ticket redemptions, sign up for the Red Card (Player's Card), and inquire about comps.

I found that the Wynn's table limits varied considerably throughout the day. As tables became full, they raised the limits from $10-15 to $25-$100 to discourage new players from joining. This happened to us several times where we were playing at a lower limit but new players had to play more.

The Encore’s casino is much smaller and intimate than the Wynn and was much quieter. This is probably due to the Wynn’s better access to the rest of the strip (the front entrance seemed to be under construction). I believe that the Encore casino is aimed only at its guests as the casino is quite small. It has one central walkway and two walkways from the front to the back of the casino. The colors are also a very bright red with beautiful, opulent red chandeliers and very cheerful. That said, I found the Encore’s layout to be somewhat confusing. When you enter the casino from the Wynn, it is difficult to navigate to find your way from the corridors to the tables which are at the opposite corner of the casino.

Overall, both Casinos feature an excellent ventilation system. My clothes did not smell like smoke at any point during my stay, despite many smokers being present at the tables. As well, the hotel’s scent is not as overpowering as it is at the Venetian/Palazzo complex.

I would rate the Casino itself as first class. Here is a summary of the games:

Blackjack

I found no tables with liberal rules that I could see. However, the blackjack survey here does say that they do exist. Because I am not a high-limit player, I did not find any games where the dealers stood on 17.

Craps

Craps tables offered generous 'downtown' odds (31/16 for one on horn bets, 10/8 for one on hard ways, 3X on field 12s, and pay vig on win buy bets ($25 4/10, 1.11% HA). Table limits were from $10 to $100. It was very entertaining there, with young men playing in their pool robes at a reserved table, while another set of players at another $100 reserved table featured a young Asian woman with a miniskirt that went way too high, forcing the craps dealers to personally walk around the table to hand you your Red Card, only to catch a peek.

Roulette

Single zero did not seem to be available. Available at $10 - $25.

Wynn Slot Machines Total Defense

Pai-Gow

Available at $15 - $50 depending on time of day. Banking allowed every other hand by asking, otherwise, it was not offered. My wife and I were able to advise and comment on each other's hands without any issues.

Slots

It was outside of my gambling budget, but there is a $5,000 slot machine in the high-limit room. The Wizard says it is the highest denomination slot in Vegas to the best of his knowledge.

Video Poker

vpFree2 states that the best $1 game is FP bonus at 99% and at $.25 cents DDB at 98.3%. I found $.25 9/6/5 DB with a progressive jackpot at $1150 (98.2%) which I played. They changed the EPROM overnight and it turned into a much crappier 9/6/4 machine (96.6%). I found many different kinds of video poker including multi-play at denominations from $.25 to $5. Slots: The Slots at the Wynn are fairly comparable to those featured at other casinos at denominations from $.01 to $5. Games were old and new and were interspersed together throughout the floor with denominations of slots grouped together.

Wynn Slots Game

The Red Card

The Red Card program offers 1 point per $3 slot in and $9 video poker in. We accumulated 1,000 points during our stay, worth $10 in cash back, which I feel was quite stingy. And no 'Free Play'. We also presented our Red Card at tables and we were asked to consult the casino host for comps during our stay. The pit boss did put both of our action together. The Red Card’s program is somewhat of a mystery. The Web Site does not talk about redemption or accumulation of points.

Our Own Gambling

Over four nights, we played about 8 hours of $40 craps (4 bets x $10 per come out), 4 hours of $30 pai gow (2 hands at $15), 4 hours of $15/$25 Blackjack and Blackjack Switch, as well at 4 hours of video poker and a few hours at the slots.

At the end of the stay, I asked the agent at the front desk what she could do for us on the 'Red Card'. She made a call (I assume to the host) and our room food charges (about $100) was comped which was a pleasant surprise.

Summary

Our stay at the Wynn was probably the best of our many Vegas experiences that we've had. The casino is first rate with table limits about the same as any other upper tier strip hotel (Bellagio, Venetian, Paris). The hotel itself features very large rooms that are luxurious in nature.

My only recommendations for improvement are the following:

• Clarify the check in and check out area to clearly indicate where people are supposed to wait when checking in and checking out..
• Decrease the price of food by about 20%, especially in the morning.
• Loosen the player's card rewards somewhat to allow for more Cashback or FreePlay based on play.
