Wandering Around The Wynn Hotel/Casino, Las Vegas
January 72009
Besides the creative Wynn Sign (which I highlighted in another video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEorLYuwns0&fmt=18 ), here are two more things I enjoy in the public areas of The Wynn Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas.
The first is the artificial, cascading, curtain type waterfall at the three acre Lake of Dreams. Of all the man-made waterfalls I’ve seen, this is my favorite. When The Wynn first opened a few years ago, there were several human sculptures in the pool, all of which were gazing towards the large wall of water. The overall effect of the human figures and the waterfall was very dramatic. I have no idea why, as of my latest visit, The Wynn has decided to remove all but one of the sculptures, but this lake and waterfall are still beautiful in the stark simplicity of this vista. (The photo at the beginning of this video, which was taken on a previous visit, shows two of the sculptures.)
What makes this lake and waterfall even more distinctive, is that at nighttime, the tranquil mood of the lake and waterfall is dramatically transformed, as its used as the backdrop for flashy audio visual presentations such as the one shown in this YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTHRLsu2kI8&fmt=18
The second area shown in this video is an arbor type walkway in The Wynn that is beautiful with the added use of hundreds of small lights illuminating the trees.
The song I chose for the video is Loreena McKennitt’s song: “Bonny Swans”.

The Las Vegas Strip (also known as The Strip) is an approximately 4 mile (6.4 km) section of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Paradise and Winchester, Nevada, south of the Las Vegas city limits. Most of “The Strip” has been designated an All-American Road.
Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on The Strip. Eighteen of the world’s twenty five largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 67,000 rooms.
Over the years, Las Vegas Boulevard South has been called Arrowhead Highway, or Los Angeles Highway. The Strip was reportedly named by Los Angeles police officer Guy McAfee, after his hometown’s Sunset Strip.
One of the most visible aspects of Las Vegas’ cityscape is its use of dramatic themes. The theming of hotels, casinos, and restaurants on the Strip has established the city as one of the most popular destinations for tourists.

STEVE WYNN: THE CASINO LEGEND OF LAS VEGAS
Stephen Alan Wynn (born January 27, 1942 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American casino resort developer who is credited with spearheading the dramatic resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas, Nevada, Strip in the 1990s. His companies refurbished or built some of the most currently widely recognized resorts in Las Vegas such as the Golden Nugget, The Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio, Wynn, and Encore. As of 2008, Wynn is the 277th richest man in the world with a wealth of $3.9 billion.
BIOGRAPHY
EARLY LIFE, FRONTIER, AND THE GOLDEN NUGGET
Wynn’s father Michael Weinberg ran a string of bingo parlors in eastern United States. In 1946, he had changed his name to “Wynn” presumably as a marketing strategy and a move to trump anti-Jewish bias.
Wynn was raised in Utica, New York, and graduated from The Manlius School, a private boys’ school east of Syracuse, New York, in 1959. He studied cultural anthropology and English literature at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity. In 1963, his father died of complications from open heart surgery in Minneapolis shortly before Wynn graduated from Penn with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. He married Elaine Farrell Pascal the same year.
Wynn took over running the family’s bingo operation in Maryland. He did well enough at it to accumulate the money to buy a small stake in the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, where he and Elaine moved in 1967. Between 1968 and 1972 Wynn also owned a wine and liquor importing company.
Wynn managed to parlay his profits from a land deal in 1971 (the deal involved Howard Hughes and Caesars Palace) into a controlling interest in the landmark downtown casino, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas (he also owned The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, New Jersey). Wynn renovated, revamped and expanded the Golden Nugget from a gambling hall to a resort hotel and casino with enormous success, in the process attracting a new upscale clientele to downtown Las Vegas.
The Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio
Wynn had previously acquired interests in various existing casinos. His first major Strip casino, The Mirage, which opened in 1989, set a new standard for size and lavishness, with construction costs to match. The Mirage featured an indoor forest and an outdoor “volcano,” and with high-quality room appointments and an emphasis on service, the Mirage was another great success. The Mirage was the first project in which he was involved in the design and construction of a casino. The $630 million cost to build The Mirage was financed largely with junk bonds issued by Michael Milken. The Mirage was considered a risky venture by the standards then prevailing in Las Vegas because of its high cost and emphasis on luxury. However, it proved to be enormously successful and made Wynn a major part of Las Vegas history.
Wynn’s next project was Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. It opened in 1993 at a cost of $450 million. With its live pirate show and location next to the Mirage, Treasure Island was another success for Wynn.
Wynn expanded further on his concept of the luxury casino with Bellagio, a $1.6 billion resort, including an artificial lake, indoor conservatory, a museum-quality art gallery and branches of high-end boutiques and restaurants from Paris, San Francisco and New York City. The architect was the famous American Jon Jerde of The Jerde Partnerships. The Bellagio is credited with starting a new spree of luxurious developments in Las Vegas. Among these developments include The Venetian, Mandalay Bay, and Paris Las Vegas.
WYNN LAS VEGAS TO PRESENT
Mirage Resorts was sold to MGM Grand Inc. for $6.6 billion ($21 a share) in June 2000 to form MGM Mirage. With the money he made on that deal, and with his ability to secure ever-greater financing, Wynn built a new resort, his most expensive yet, the Wynn Las Vegas, which opened on the former site of the Desert Inn on April 28, 2005. Wynn Las Vegas is owned and operated by Wynn Resorts Limited, of which Wynn is chairman and chief executive officer. Wynn became a billionaire in 2004, when his net worth doubled to $1.3 billion.
Wynn successfully bid for one of three gaming concessions that were opened for tender in Macau, a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, which has a long history of gaming and is the largest gaming market in the world, having surpassed Las Vegas in 2006. This property, known as Wynn Macau, opened on 5 September 2006.
In the summer of 2008, hiring began for Encore, the newest in Steve Wynn’s collection of resorts (the tower of Encore is modeled after the Wynn Las Vegas tower, and in fact, they share the same “property” though they are separate hotels). Wynn is said to be hiring 3500 employees for this expansion. Encore will be opening on December 22, 2008.
