Casino builder Wynn to presents new Las Vegas resort in April: Wynn Las Vegas

Celebrated casino-builder Steve Wynn, who stands behind the luxurious casino projects such as Mirage Resorts and the Bellagio, is going to introduce his new $2.6 billion Las Vegas creature. The resort located on the 217-acre area, the site of the former Desert Inn, is scheduled to be unveiled in April 28.

Wynn Las Vegas, like the previous similar projects, draws close attention of the media. The builder has already disclosed in general how the building will look like. However, exact details are kept a secret. According to some reports, the creature, a gracefully curving 50-story bronze tower surrounded by a man-made mountain, lake and golf course, is a departure from the geographical themes that dominated casino concepts in the 1990s. Instead, it attempts to establish a sense of elegance and tranquillity.

The hotel, which bears Wynn's name, has more than 2,700 rooms and 110,000 square feet of casino space. Entertainment at Wynn Las Vegas will include a Franco Dragone production that will likely evoke Cirque du Soleil, the Montreal-based haute circus troupe that Wynn brought to Vegas at Treasure Island and Bellagio.

The first house production is entitled "Le Reve" that means "The Dream" in French. The name is taken from a Pablo Picasso masterpiece owned by Wynn. The production's full name is "Le Reve: A Small Collection of Imperfect Dreams." To perform the show Wynn has built a theatre with 2,100 seats more than 42 feet from the performers. The visitor will have a chance to watch the performance five nights a week (dark Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Tickets are expected to cost about $120.

Wynn has planned to open 18 restaurants with entrances not opening to the casino floor. The arrivals may reserve the room via a special website. Prices range from $219 a night, for a midweek stay in a 640-square-foot room, to $850 a night for a weekend stay in a 1,950-square-foot suite. Most prospective guests are probably looking at rates from $280 to $370.
