Wynn Las Vegas Resort Review - Random Recess
1. Is Wynn Las Vegas Worth the Price?
If you're wondering if the splurge on Wynn Las Vegas is worth it, the answer is a resounding yes—especially if you're seeking top-notch luxury. Wynn offers an exceptional experience with unparalleled service, high-end amenities, and a beautiful setting. From the lavish rooms to the thoughtfully designed pool complex, every detail feels elevated. While it's more expensive than many Las Vegas hotels, the quality justifies the price, especially for travelers who want a premium experience. This resort has become more and more popular over the years which has resulted in higher room rates. If you gamble, which we do, you should definitely join their Wynn Rewards because we often get heavily discounted or even comped stays at Wynn during the week. Wynn is the place to be seen and to see others which makes it one of the most hype resorts in Vegas.
2. Where is Wynn Las Vegas Located on the Strip?
Wynn Las Vegas is located on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip, close to the Fashion Show Mall. Its prime location puts you within walking distance of other iconic spots like The Venetian and Resorts World, but it offers a quieter atmosphere compared to the hustle of the central Strip. The location provides a perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility, ideal for travelers looking to enjoy the action but retreat to a serene setting. Admittedly the noise and hustle and bustle of Center Strip has started to creep North towards Wynn/Encore. Wynn is no longer the lone wolf on the North end of the Vegas Strip. Resorts World and Fontainebleau have both built luxury resorts just past the Wynn. If you are looking for less crowds then Wynn may no longer be the resort for you. It’s become so popular with the people of all ages that it’s become a hot spot in Las Vegas.
3. What Makes the Wynn Las Vegas Pool Complex So Special?
The Wynn pool complex is a true oasis in the desert. Surrounded by lush gardens and elegant cabanas, it’s the perfect spot to relax and escape the heat. Whether you want to lounge by the resort-style pool or enjoy a private cabana, the attention to detail here is unmatched. Poolside dining and service further elevate the experience, making it one of the best pools in Las Vegas for those seeking luxury and relaxation. Like everything Wynn does, their pool complex has some of the best staff in Vegas and offers tons of free chairs. When we visited we walked in about an hour or so after the pool opened and we had our pick of side of the pool complex. Note that due to the location being on the East side the sun will begin to set in the afternoon which can make swimming at Wynn’s pool colder in the afternoon. This is more of an issue earlier on in the season and less so during the blazing summer months.
4. What Dining Options Does Wynn Las Vegas Offer?
Dining at Wynn Las Vegas is an experience in itself. With over a dozen world-class restaurants, you’ll find everything from fine dining at SW Steakhouse to casual bites at the Terrace Pointe Café. Wynn also boasts one of the most renowned buffets in Las Vegas, offering an array of gourmet dishes in a stunning setting. Whether you’re craving sushi, steak, or something sweet, Wynn’s dining options are sure to impress. One sticking point for us here at Random Recess is that Wynn/Encore both lack quick service dining options. The formality of table service and fine dining is not always appealing to us. Wynn does fine dining extremely well but falls short for quick bites. Often times we call Wynn/Encore food desserts because after 8 PM is becomes very difficult to find something to eat that is not a formal meal. Most of Vegas is moving to the Food Hall or Food Court concept. Wynn and Encore are rumored to bring one one but they have heavily denied this. We understand the dilemma. Food Halls or Courts are not seen as luxury and may not fit the Wynn’s Aesthetic. We would push back and say if anyone could make a Food Hall concept luxury and yet approachable it would be Wynn. Fontainebleau and Resorts World both have great food options including mobile ordering. Aria and Park MGM have great options at center strip and most recently Caesar’s and Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas renovated their food court and Planet Hollywood is building a massive food court in their miracle mile shops. Wynn is now seen as late to the party but again, we believe if anyone can make a food hall stand out it’s Wynn Las Vegas.
5. What Are the Wynn Las Vegas Rooms Like, and Is the Panorama King Room Worth It?
Wynn Las Vegas is known for its luxurious rooms, but the Panorama King room is the standout. With floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the Las Vegas Strip, this room is designed to wow. The modern decor, spacious layout, and high-end amenities make it perfect for anyone seeking a memorable stay. If you’re after luxury and stunning views, the Panorama King room at Wynn is definitely worth it. The room is beautifully appointed and the interior design is warm and comfy. The Wynn Panorama King room has large ceilings which helps make this small space feel larger than it really is. The floor to ceiling windows make for great views of Las Vegas Strip or Mountains. The Mountain side may even have a great view of the MSG Sphere. Too bad it might keep you up at night because of how bright it is so make sure to use the blackout curtains.
Wynn has carried over the Pandemic era handsfree devices and smart room setup with Alexa in each room. You can ask Alexa to open the drapes, turn on the TV, adjust the lights and more just by asking. This us such great use of technology and we love that Wynn kept this around. The room also comes with a tablet that helps you control all aspects of the room.
The Wynn Dream beds are truly magical.The soft but firm beds will make for a great nights sleep. The soft linens and ample pillows aid in that as well. Plenty of outlets including USB are available all throughout the room. The Wynn Panorama King room is a basic room at the Wynn but with all the amenities and technology, it feels luxurious and special.
Wynn Las Vegas truly sets the standard for luxury in Sin City. Whether you're there for the unbeatable location, stunning pool complex, world-class dining, or breathtaking rooms, this resort offers an experience unlike any other on the Strip. We do feel that in some ways the Wynn has become complacent. Especially when it comes to the up keep of some of the areas of the resort. We found the carpet to be worn and not as vibrant as in previous years. This could be just coincidence during our visit. The lack of quick food options and no real plan to address this also feels like a big mistake on Wynn’s part. Overall these are small issues that Wynn will eventually address or maybe not. Overall this giant on the Vegas Strip will still draw in big crowds to their hotel, spa, pool, clubs and restaurants.
