I believe it's opening in April. There are posts in this forum which have the exact date.

The tower is built. They're now completing the extra stuff outside and the inside of the tower.

I don't know the street draw. That isn't built.

It doesn't really look special. It's a tall, wide building. The exterior is red (not sure what shade) glass.

Originally, it was called Le Reve and had a French theme. I assume it still has that theme.

In Cigar Aficionado, Steve Wynn said that most Vegas hotels are very glamorous from the outside. He said for Wynn, you will have to go inside to admire the beauty of the resort.
He had mentioned a replica of Angel Falls in Venezuela at the resort.

I don't know if it's going to have a "draw" on the outside. From what I've read, Wynn is going for a really expensive classy place. Comps only for big rollers. But with less comps, they can keep the prices a little lower? You know, I'm going to call them right now.

Ok, I called them for a week in May. They're booked up. No Saturday arrivals. $389 a night for a double bed suite which is all they have left. Who wants a double bed suite?

They are supposed to be building a 7-story high mountain in front of the casino. There is also supposed to be a "lake" in front of the casino (ie Bellagio).

I haven't read anything about Wynn's poker room (hell, I'm not even 100% sure they're going to have one, but I'd assume so), but I'm not sure Vegas can support another mid-stakes room.

The Wynn is enormous. It dwarfs the other hotels in that area of the strip. They've already built a golf course behind it which is visible from the monorail. As of now it looks very nice and not gaudy (something of a rarity around here), hopefully it will stay that way.

The poker room looks promising. They are only hiring dealers with a few years experience.

"I'm not sure Vegas can support another mid-stakes room"

Vegas can't. He'll have to steal most of the Mirage business and like a third of Bellagio.
