Wynn Las Vegas Review

Reviewed by sonesta from Pennsylvania on 12/1/09
I have stayed at Wynn/Encore three times and thoroughly enjoyed each visit. Check in was easy although on one occassion I waited about an hour for my room to be ready. Standard guest rooms are very nice and have features like private bar and remote controlled drapes, shears, and lights. Rooms are of a generous size and have large bathrooms with excellent soaking tubs that look identical to those at THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay. The tower suites are even better. Service overall is very good although not five star. The lineup of restaurants is impressive. Alex is one of the best French restaurants in the city. Tableau has excellent food although sadly is no longer open for dinner. The property is very easy to navigate but is enormous. Encore guests walking to dinner at Alex or Wing Lei will wear out some shoe leather. On balance, the second best hotel in the city.

Pros: Elegant rooms, excellent rooms, great restaurants
Cons: The walk between the two towers is very long

After staying at the Encore at the Wynn in Las Vegas I would not recommend staying in the hotel if you want piece of mind. During the entire stay they were doing repairs on in the guestrooms and constantly were accessing the rooms. The room service was mediocre at best and the final touch of class the Encore added at the end of the trip was to rip our bag when they loaded it into the cab for our return trip home. I noticed the tear in the bag when we got to the airport and photographed the damage and sent it to the security department of the hotel along with a phone call. It took them 5-6 days to return my call after numerous attempts. They finally issued a report and stated that the tear was not their responsibility because they could not find the video. If you value piece of mind and you property, I would recommend staying as far away from this hotel as possible.

STUNNING hotel in Vegas, by far the nicest. BUT service needs a lot of work! It took 2 full hours to check in (each line was 15 people deep). Concierge sent us to a restaurant that had closed. Came back to room and it had not been made up after being away 5 hours. Pool attendant said there was no food at the pool (which we were later told there was). Made spa service - went to spa, name was not on list. This hotel could be the best if they get their service together. Outstanding room.

Wow! I stayed at Wynn's Encore, and this place is nothing short of breathtaking. My "regular room", a suite, is quite spacious. For the first time ever in Vegas, I actually want to stay in my suite with all its flat screen TVs, luxurious bed, and stunning bathroom! But hey, I can’t stay here the whole time. And fortunately, there are enough restaurants, shops, and bars/nightclubs to keep you exploring. If budget is no concern, you must try Sinatra for the best Italian cuisine you’ve ever tasted before either sauntering over to Blush for some nightlife or seeing the show at Le Reve.

The setting is nice, however not as opulent as Bellagio’s buffet. Wynn’s buffet lacks a theme, and frankly some good cooking. There is a mix of almost everything, but each sample is small. For example, you got 3-4 Italian dishes including pizza, and 5 Chinese dishes, a few middle-eastern dishes, and a little bit of sea-food.
The quality of the food is low and there is nothing that you cannot find at a buffet which is priced at half of the $35 you pay at Wynn. The desserts bar is poor, except for good ice-cream. Most of foods were not cooked properly. For example, pork chops were hard and rubbery, and the beef roast was raw; the guy next to me in line asked for it to be microwaved so he can eat it.

When the waitress came around we told her about the problems we see with the quality and variety of the buffet, and she brought in the manager. After some ‘customer satisfaction’ talk that we will do everything for you to be satisfied, my wife asked for crepes. His answer was ‘we cannot do it, this is a Friday and Saturday night dish’. He offered no refund, and just paid lip service.

My advice…go to Bellagio for the same money, or choose a place like Sahara or Planet Hollywood.

I've stayed at the Wynn several times over the past year for business and pleasure and it has exceeded my expectations. From the bed in the room, the cleanliness of the casino, no smoke, dining options, none compare. We tryed staying at the Bellagio last fall and were so disappointed we tried to move our reservation to the Wynn the day we checked in.

The SW Steakhouse is the best steak house we've ever eaten at, with a great wine selection. The pool is nicely layed out and the service is fairly quick.

I've tried the Four Season, Paris, and the Bellagio, and this is my favorite by far.

We have stayed at the Tower Suites at The Wynn three times. SUPERB is the only word for the experience. Fantastic staff, excellent meals at Okada, Daniel Boulard, even the poolside Kobe Beef cheeseburger is worth every penny! Blows everything else in Vegas off the map. The private pool and check in for Tower Suite guests is worth every penny. Rooms are elegant, large, beautiful views and well serviced. When can we go back??!!!!

The hotel is perfect, everything works really well, is beautiful and the service is great. However, do not use the hairsalon as it is not up to Wynn's standard, substandard hairdressers and rude managers rule a salon that is fit for a third rate suburb but not at those prices...really a shame and a flaw in the otherwise perfect Wynn Hotel.

The Wynn is a beautiful hotel. Our room was spacious with all the amenities. Very large and luxurious bathroom with thick towels and TV. Beautiful view from the room through floor to ceiling windows. Casino was beautiful but with a high minimum on tables. Restaurants were great and pool was beautiful. Staff members were incredibly helpful and polite.
