I spoke to the reservations center a few weeks ago about an early May stay; they knew of no opening specials scheduled or being planned.

According to a post on vegaswatch.com, which quotes a reporter who spoke with a host, RFB comps for BJ require $500 per hand for 4 hours per day. RFB for VP players require $50,000 coin-in per day for RFB.

I received a special invite to stay at Wynn during its first week of opening (April 28th, 2005)... by luck of the draw, I just turned 21 too.
I have a three night stay (no one stays longer than three nights in Vegas) in a Tower Suite so I'll post about the amenities and everything when I get back!

I drove by there two days ago and if it opens in April I will be very, very surprised (were talking 6 weeks here folks)
The fact that LV has been getting a lot of rain ala So Cal is not helping any and all the TV news can talk about is flooded streets etc. etc.
(of course the shots shown on the news look a normal Summer evening in Florida )

Theme??

I have heard San Fransisco or a London casino theme. Is there any truth to this?

Just got my 'vegasresource.com' newsletter in my inbox this morning...There was a write up on it:

April 28: WYNN LAS VEGAS is opening The
Strip's pre-eminent luxury mega-resort
costing a whopping $2.7 billion!
The 45-story (the tallest tower in
Las Vegas), is 514-foot tall,
arc-shaped and is a chocolate-colored
reflective glass Tower. Will have
2,698 hotel rooms and suites, a
111,000-square-foot casino,
16 restaurants (including six
fine dining each with an indoor
and outdoor experience),
three-acre pool, luxury spa,
many brand-name high-end rstores,
The Strip's only 18-hole golf
course and an art gallery.
Each hotel room will cost $750,000
to build (Bellagio cost
$533,000 per room). Each room will
have floor-to-ceiling windows,
European linen and flat screen TV's.

Total of 8,000 permanent employees.
It is estimated that 2,500 of those will be present Bellagio
and Mirage employees, who previously worked for Steve
Wynn, attesting to the high esteem Steve Wynn is held and
the fact that he treats his employees so well and in
such high regard. Union shop is expected.

An eight-story, 100-foot mountain in the front of the
property (now rising out of the ground will enclose a
three-acre lake. Two winding, curved, atrium escalators
in the main lobby will cost $1.8 million.

Some of the upscale shopping that will be available are
Ferrari and Maserati car dealerships; Manolo Blahnik
(ladies shoes); Jean_Paul Gauthier (haute couture
womens clothing); Oscar de la Renta (high-end fashion
designer); Jo Malone (perfumes); Brioni (Italian
clothing designer); Graff Jewelers; Chanel; Dior;
Louis Vuitton and Cartier.

There will be 16 restaurants in the project!
One of the restaurants specializing in high-end,
contemporary Japanese food will be named OKADA
in honor of a major investor in the project. Another
restaurant will be called ALEX after the star chef, Alex
Stratta, who closed his five-star restaurant, Renoir, in
the Mirage to join Steve Wynn in this project.
Daniel Boulud of Le Cirque and Daniel Restaurants in
New York City and Paul Bartolotta of Spiaggia
Restaurant in Chicago are some of the other famous
chefs who will open restaurants in this project.

The water-based, $24 million production show much
like "O", will be housed in the 2,080-seat, $70-million
AQUA THEATER, which will be finished eight months
before the Hotel to give rehearsal time for the new show.
Water will surround the audience - above, below and
even around their seats. The farthest seat will be a mere
40 feet from the stage.
In another 1,200-seat, $40 million theater, the
Tony-award winning, unorthodox, Broadway puppet play
"Avenue Q" will be presented.

Four nightclubs will be in the project. One of them will
be called "La Bete" (The Beast) which will be a
restaurant that will turn into a nightclub after 11 p.m.

Construction of the whole project is on time and on
budget.
Telephone: (702)770-7000 or 1-877-770-7077.

We get the same newsletter MBS. What I want to know is which restaurant is going to be on the top floor with that great view. And now that the information is that the high end restaurants all have indoor and outdoor dining I'm wondering if there is going to be an outdoor lounge or restaurant on the roof?

Wynn doesn't have a theme like that. There have been rumors of resorts with London or SF themes, but they haven't materialized. One of by Phil Ruffin, owner of the New Frontier. Ruffin did recently announce he was planning to raze the New Frontier and replace it with a bigger, nicer resort. It's adjacent to Trump's condo project. Info on it is here . He has not mentioned a theme though. Themes are sort of not "in" right now, and projects that are talked about now don't mention a specific theme as they did ten to fifteen years ago.

Good god thats a lot of money. I thought maybe they just divided total hotel cost by total number of rooms, but that didn't add up. Of course, this is probably an average of every kind of room from the $20 million high roller suites to the double-twin overlooking the garage.

I just checked out the pics on the updated website.

Are they going to put those flat screen tvs on swivels? from the look of it you can only see the tv from the couch and even then you have to look off to the side, and you can't see it at all from the bed.... but i've never seen a swivel for a wall-mounted tv that big...

I walked by last weekend and they're putting up a ton of trees in the "front yard" area. Dunno exactly what's going on for the design, but it'll definately be cool to visit next time I go to town.

At the rates they're going to be asking for rooms, I don't think I'll be staying there anytime soon. I can play enough to get discounts at other places, but not there...
