The Wynn

Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Country Club is a AAA five diamond/Mobil four-star and Mobil five-star , and Michelin 5-star casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The US$2.7 billion resort is named after casino developer Steve Wynn and is the flagship property of Wynn Resorts Limited. The resort covers 215 acres .

It is located at Las Vegas Boulevard South and Sands Avenue , directly across The Strip from the Fashion Show Mall.

The 2,716 rooms range in size from 640 sq ft to the villas at 7,000 sq ft with a 111,000 sq ft casino, a convention center with 223,000 sq ft of space, and 76,000 sq ft of retail space. Together with the adjacent Encore which opened in late 2008, the entire Wynn resort complex has a total of 4,750 rooms.

The Wynn does not have any floors that start with the number 4, since it is an unlucky number in Chinese culture.[citation needed] History View north from Las Vegas Boulevard.

The site was assembled by buying the Desert Inn Hotel and golf course for most of the land. The remainder was acquired by purchasing private residences that were generally located along Paradise Avenue. While some owners sold early on, others held out. This resulted in numerous legal actions between the various parties.[1] In the end, the site acquired totaled 215 acres .

Wynn Las Vegas LLC contracted with Marnell Corrao Associates on June 4, 2002 to design and build the resort. The original name for the project was "Le R?ve" but was changed to "Wynn Las Vegas" well before the project was complete. The original name lives on in the stage production. Built at a cost of US$2.7 billion, it was the largest privately-funded construction project in the nation. This compares with the budget for reconstruction with the World Trade Center site which at that time was projected to be $1.7 billion.[citation needed]
