On the site of the old Desert Inn at midnight last night Steve Wynn's latest megaresort opened for business. His $2.7 billion Wynn Las Vegas debuted early Thursday morning to hundreds of eager people clamoring to get the first glimpse of this city's newest attraction and the most expensive megaresort ever built here.
Other than the last-minute tinkering for which he has become famous, the casino developer already was making plans for his next project: the $1.4 billion, 2,000-room Encore, which will break ground this summer next to Wynn Las Vegas.
Still, the coolest hotel/resort I've ever seen is that one at the United Arab Emirates that looks like a big sailboat with a tennis court on top. And it's seven stars!
That would be the Burj Al Arab Hotel, which we have posted about here on IHMC before.
