Inside Wynn Las Vegas
Wynn Las Vegas was originally to be called La Reve ("the dream"), after a painting of the same name by PIcasso owned by Steve Wynn. Perhaps the double entendre -- inviting visitors to "wynn" in Las Vegas -- inspired the change.
Like every major Las Vegas casino resort hotel, Wynn Las Vegas attracts visitors with larger-than-life entertainment offerings. It holds two major theaters, one of which is a 2,000-seat domed showroom with a circular stage. Le Reve, a production by Cirque du Soleil's Franco Dragone, performs there.
Expect the service to be spectacular. Steve Wynn has recruited top staffers from his other Las Vegas hotels to work at Wynn Las Vegas. And they've been trained to nicely keep out visitors pushing strollers.
Indoor and outdoor wedding chapels at Wynn Las Vegas compete with the opulence of those at Bellagio.

Impact of Wynn Las Vegas
Wynn Las Vegas is expected to initially have two major impacts on the Las Vegas scene. First, other casinos may lose some of their best and most senior staff. According to a report in the Las Vegas Business Press, Wynn Las Vegas received 82,000 applications for some 9,000 jobs. So Las Vegas visitors may encounter less experienced workers to serve them in other casinos if Wynn culls the cream of the crop.
Secondly, despite Wynn Las Vegas's relatively high-priced rooms, reservations are strong. Some sources predict a trickle-down effect, emboldening other Las Vegas casino hotels to raise their room rates.
