As for them being basic, I don't know what you could possibly be referring to. All of the rooms have at least 2 flat panel TVs, electronic motorized curtains, double vanities, separate tub & shower, cordless phones, exquisite beds...what more do you want for a "standard" room?
Fair point. I guess I was expecting the Wynn to slightly eclipse the Venetian and Bellagio, and it doesn't. Rather, I would call it basically equivalent to those places -- which is a high standard. My expectations were perhaps unfairly high, so when I say "basic," I should have said, "about I would expect but not more." I didn't walk in and say, "wow, this resets the bar for standard Las Vegas rooms." (I did at the Encore, however.)
The bed didn't do much for me at either Wynn property -- I wouldn't use the word "exquisite." I prefer the elegant room design at the Bellagio, although that's just my personal preference. I think that the rooms are the about same size at the Wynn as the Bellagio and, although it's hard to compare to the Venetian, my standard room at the latter (from where I am writing now) has three flat panel TVs, a DVD player, and nicer furniture.
