  1. Wynn Las Vegas Unveils New Luxury Accommodations New Look Will Transform More Than 2,600 Guest Rooms Todd-Avery Lenahan Leads The Resort's Largest And Most Extensive Design Evolution LAS VEGAS (May 3, 2022) – Wynn Las Vegas, the largest Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star resort in the world, unveils details of a new room concept that will transform its luxury guest accommodations across Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Tower Suites. Currently under construction and scheduled to be completed by June 2022, the project is the largest and most extensive design evolution ever made to the tower's 2,674 guest rooms, suites, elevator lobbies, and resort tower corridors. "Wynn sets the standard for luxury experiences and unparalleled service by continuously evolving to meet and exceed the needs of our guests," said Brian Gullbrants, President of Wynn Las Vegas. "Our thoughtful and intuitive new room design provides a more integrated in-room experience, giving guests greater control and choice over how they wish their room to function as they relax, enjoy, work, and entertain during their stay." At its heart, the new guest room design intends to give travelers a sense of escapism that feels instantly comfortable and familiar. Rooted in a polychromatic palette of soft hues, layers of pattern and texture abound. Each room is highlighted by wood accent walls, a range of functional and atmospheric illumination, luxurious textiles and linens, and accents of natural stone, decorative metal, and original artwork. New furniture, fixtures, lighting, and artwork – all exclusive to Wynn Las Vegas – were either custom designed by Lenahan or commissioned from a diverse collective of global master artisans. Focal points include a dramatic four poster canopy bed exclusive to the Wynn Tower Suites, a collection of commissioned artworks consisting of refined, modern pieces, as well as a lighting design created to enhance the ambient experience both day and night. "As guests' needs and tastes evolve, we are constantly advancing details that not only meet but exceed their discerning tastes," said Todd-Avery Lenahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Wynn Design and Development. "Our redesigned rooms are equal parts warm and dramatic, intimate and sophisticated. The guest rooms are meant to be your personal space while we are hosting you and are designed to be a respite, an exhale at the end of your day." Each guest room, from the standard 640 square feet Wynn Resort King to the 1,817 square feet Wynn Tower Suite Salon, offer a retreat-like environment and feature a bespoke iteration of the new theme, which is decidedly more residential. Although individual touches have been created to suit differing room layouts, the most notable changes include a reconfiguration to the washroom in the standard guest room to introduce separate vanities and double the storage space; an expanded dressing area with mirrored walls and upgraded closet with new wardrobe; and an extended multi-purpose table in the main living room for working and dining. Additional power and data ports and advanced touchless in-room technologies complete the project. Under the direction of Todd-Avery Lenahan, the new guest room design propels the resort's signature style ethos of elegance, artfulness, and comfort into a new era of artistic expression. Over the past months, Lenahan debuted original designs including the instantly iconic supper club, Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas, a lavish cinematic masterwork hailed by Forbes as "the evolution of Vegas' future"; The Cocktail Collection on the Lake of Dreams, including Overlook Lounge, Aperitifs & Spirits, Bar Parasol, and Aft Cocktail Deck; and the resort's newest restaurant, Casa Playa, an energetic confluence of coastal Mexican architecture and timeless cultural iconography. Prior to joining Wynn Resorts, Lenahan was a key collaborator in the creation of more than 50 spaces for the Company's global portfolio of luxury resorts and casinos and is credited with originating several Wynn-brand design tenets referenced to this day. Among his many contributions are Encore Tower Suites in Las Vegas and Macau; SW Steakhouse at Wynn Palace, Cotai; the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas; and The Spa at Encore Las Vegas, which is widely recognized as a tour-de-force and one of the most beautiful spas in the world. https://press.wynnlasvegas.com/press-releases/all/wynn-las-vegas-unveils-new-luxury-accommodations/s/fb2e833a-79bf-47b9-ade4-c4eb9c90acf6
  2. Last night on the earnings conference call, MGM said it would likely take 90 days up to 1 year to integrate the Cosmo fully into their systems/policies/etc so assume it’ll take a few months before being able to book Cosmo under the MGM Rewards plan. If true, something like in the summer timeframe possibly.
  3. It’s slated to officially turn over around the end of May if there are no delays in the process
  4. Just depends on what vibe you are looking for, any price range thoughts, and then would you prefer to be close to any potential activities or picking the place based on everything you can do right at your hotel/casino. Narrow it down to high end, nice but not super expensive or more on the budget side. Go from there. Caesars is great. Big place with lots of good food options on site. Can’t beat the center Strip location. Many of the rooms have been refurbished. I like the pool there. Best buffet in LV. MGM Grand also large footprint. Nice pool area and some decent food options in that part of the Strip. Lots of good traditional options and also consider something like Vdara if you like non-smoking hotel with no casino (much quieter) and easy walk to Cosmo and Aria. Vdara has nice rooms. Cosmo could be the choice if you want younger crowd, more vibrant pool scene, lots of fun food choices, and if you wanted a unique room with a balcony and Strip view. On the high end it’s hard to beat Wynn/Encore. Let us know if you have some questions . . .
  5. Check in kiosk
  6. Check out Carbone, Giada, and Piero’s
  7. Did Marcus Tillman Jr find another school yet? Or maybe he’s done with football? Haven’t seen an update or missed it.

  11. Been to Jaleo many times but not since the pandemic. Ideally suited for a group dinner with smaller shared plates. Always loved it. Think we had one report on here of someone who claimed the quality had dropped off recently. We’ve had many who dined at the high end E and loved it. I haven’t been. I’ve done China Poblano once or twice and it’s a fun casual option if the menu suits your taste.
  12. Jordan in the clubhouse with the lead has me saying NOONAN on every shot now
  13. Nobu can obviously get a little silly on the pricing. Long time ago I would eat there every trip at the Hard Rock and it didn’t seem too extreme. By the time they opened one in Dallas, I noticed that you could spend big bucks for a meal there and the quality didn’t seem worth it compared to other places. Not a bad spot for a corporate card dinner. Airfares are definitely way up for this summer and the hotel rates too. The convention calendar is slowly starting back up and that will boost the mid-week rates at times also.
  14. Ok I see the update now: A smiling Bryson DeChambeau, with his right hand giving a thumbs up and his left arm in a black sling, confirmed that he had “successful left wrist surgery on my fractured hook of the hamate” Thursday. DeChambeau has been battling injuries for most of 2022. Prior to the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in March, he revealed that he suffered a fractured hamate bone in his left hand as well as a torn labrum in his left hip. In an Instragram post, DeChambeau said the wrist surgery was “performed by world renowned Hand Surgeon Dr. Thomas Graham. I want to thank Dr. Graham and the incredible staff and The Kettering Medical Center in Ohio.”
