"Resort" Rooms
After checking the website, I'm seriously considering canceling my reservation. IMHO, the colors in that room are ugly and the furniture looks cheap. Also, as someone else posted, you can't see the television when lying on the bed. I'm a bit disappointed

The floor plan for the basic room refers to an "adjustable flat screen LCD HDTV" . I assume the adjustable part of that allows viewing from the bed.
Would love to give this hotel a whirl, but I can't see it personally until the market for the Wynn product softens a bit.

WSJ had an article on Wynn earlier this week and said they're opening a second resort called "Encore" across the street (Desert Inn) from Wynn Las Vegas in a little while. I believe that's across from the new Trump project underway. They're talking about suites around 1,030 square feet running $350-$400/night, and going for the higher budget travelers, even higher than Wynn will be targeting.
Apparently the investors are very happy with the idea -- they've been throwing money at the project to get it going.

I'll be staying there in June. Most helpful was the CSR. She steered me away from some rooms which would face the golf course and steered me to other rooms which overlook the fountains. I was impressed with the knowledge the CSR had. Best to look at the website and than make a phone call.

I have been in the rooms. The t.v.'s do swivel. They are on wall mounted brackets and you will be able to see them fine from your bed.

That "Aqua" theater sounds really interesting.
I was at Bellagio a few months after it opened and it was a complete nightmare. The table minimums were way, way higher than they are now. How the mighty fall.
Wynn is probably going to be the same thing. I'll stop by to visit, but I'll let the dust settle before I stay or gamble there.

Was in LV last weekend and the Wynn seems to be coming along nicely, very cool looking from the outside, I would be suprised if they are not ready on time.

I checked out the website and there doesn't seem to be any mention of a pool area. There is info on the spa/salon. One of the reasons I love to go Vegas is the pool scene on a Saturday afternoon. Anyone have info on a pool at Wynn?
