Wynn Las Vegas,repparttar new mega resort. Steve Wynn originally namedrepparttar 133829 resort "Le Reve" afterrepparttar 133830 renowned painting by Picasso that he owns; he then decided it was not nearly as exciting asrepparttar 133831 name "Wynn Las Vegas". Think ofrepparttar 133832 implications - you can win Las Vegas at WYNN!

WYNN onrepparttar 133833 site ofrepparttar 133834 old Desert Inn will stir excitement inrepparttar 133835 hearts of any who have stayed atrepparttar 133836 Desert Inn inrepparttar 133837 past. There will be ghosts, as well as memories, I'm sure. Steve Wynn is such a magician when it comes to bringingrepparttar 133838 best to Las Vegas, and he's certainly onrepparttar 133839 site of whererepparttar 133840 best once was! The Desert Inn built in 1950 wasrepparttar 133841 first hotel or resort to use "water features" inrepparttar 133842 desert. They hadrepparttar 133843 original "Dancing Waters Show" and a fountain at their entrance. The Tournament of Champions (first Las Vegas golf tournament) was broadcast by NBC. The first "tall" structure, an observation tower, The Skyroom was built to overlookrepparttar 133844 new Strip's best views. You could see Sunrise Mountain andrepparttar 133845 twinkling lights that were beginning to show onrepparttar 133846 desert floor, but Wilbur Clark with all his imagination could not envision this bronzed glass spectacle that is Wynn Las Vegas.

Everyone is anxiously waiting to stay and enjoy this new thrill. Several years inrepparttar 133847 making, all have watchedrepparttar 133848 cranes andrepparttar 133849 earth being moved around, and nowrepparttar 133850 phoenix has arisen fromrepparttar 133851 ashes ofrepparttar 133852 old Desert Inn. The water-themed $1.85 billion megaresort has 42-story hotel tower, a three-acre man-made lake, Wynn's private art collection in an on-site museum, golf course and several private gambling areas.

Wynn megaresort has 2,701 rooms, an average "resort room" is 640 square feet, with special bedding, a sitting area with couch and ottoman, floor to ceiling windows with views of Las Vegas skyline and electronic controls to controlrepparttar 133853 window treatments to shut-out or bring-in those views. The price tag for middle ofrepparttar 133854 week is around $249.00, not exorbitant forrepparttar 133855 luxury you will enjoy.

All withrepparttar 133856 appropriate amenities...and even thoughrepparttar 133857 accommodations are out of this world, you'll be spending more time doing other things.

A bracelet from Cartier, shoes from Manolo Blahnik, a cute little purse from Judith Lieber. Don't forget Gizmos, where you can buy toys for big boys!

It took about 45 minutes to check our luggage in and boardrepparttar 133834 ship. Once onrepparttar 133835 Pride, we found our beautiful stateroom with private balcony, met our room steward, and our luggage magically appeared in our cabin. It's true that Carnival ships remind many people of newer Las Vegas resorts. We unpacked at once and made ourselves feel at home forrepparttar 133836 duration ofrepparttar 133837 cruise. After watchingrepparttar 133838 ship set sail from our balcony, we went for walks to get our bearings.

The first two days were sea days. We ate everything in sight, and just acted like people on vacation. The crew members are some ofrepparttar 133843 friendliest and most entertaining folks I've ever met. The second day was nice and warm, we lounged around onrepparttar 133844 deck.
