I stayed last week at the Wynn. The shopping inside the Wynn is super high end and hopefully your wife won't buy anything there. But is is directly accross the street from the Fashion Show Mall which is one of my favorites in the whole country.

The poker rate was good at the Wynn, the room was fantastic! The spa and fitness center are also top notch. The management of the poker room were very nice. The only downside to the experience is that there just wasn't as much action at the Wynn as at Bellagio. But the dealers, floor people and players were more pleasant.

I have stayed at the Venetian several times, Bellagio, Mirage, THE Hotel, Mandalay, New York New York, MGM and a couple of others. Bellagio is very nice (ask for a room with high speed internet even if you don't want it - those rooms have recently been updated and are better) but nothing is quite as nice as The Wynn.

Have Fun.
