Wynn Golf Course To Reopen

Posted on July 13, 2019 by The Editor in Sports and tagged Wynn.

The Wynn Las Vegas has announced that 130 acre golf course will reopen October 11th after being closed since December 2017. The course is beautiful and was ranked number nine on Golf Week’s Best Casino Courses with green fees before the closure running up to $500 a round.

The course was originally closed down to make way for Paradise Park a proposed resort by Steve Wynn which was cancelled but the plans included a hotel tower next to a large lake. Starting today if you have a room reservation at the Wynn or the Encore you can reserve a tee time up to 90 days in advance and even at the high cost the most popular tee times should fill up fairly quickly.

If you are not a golfer or maybe the green fees aren’t in your budget you can get a view of the course from the Monorail which goes by the course which isn’t quite the same but its a lot less expensive.

Popeye Statue Moving

Posted on June 5, 2019 by The Editor in Attraction and tagged Wynn.

It looks like the Popeye statue pictured above in front of the Wynn Theater is being moved again after being at least a couple of places around the Wynn properties in Las Vegas; This time though its moved much further to the East Coast to have it in place for the grand opening of the $2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor in time for its opening later this month.

The statue itself was purchased at an art auction by Steve Wynn for $28 million and was created by artist Jeff Koon. The statue is really cool and, the question is how do you move a $28 million statue across country, i guess the answer is very carefully.

Intrigue Nightclub Closed

Posted on June 3, 2019 by The Editor in Nightclub and tagged Wynn.

This past Saturday Intrigue Nightclub at the Wynn closed its doors after about a three year run with the club originally opening in April 2016. The nightclub business in Las Vegas is super competitive with Wynn being only of the top operators although Intrigue may have been overshadowed by other to clubs including Wynn’s own clubs.

The company plans to use the 14,000 square foot space as a private event space that can be used by up to 750 people for an event; There is always a demand for this kind of use in Las Vegas although i’m sure somewhere down the line the company will come up with a better use for this space.

Wynn Breaks Rank On Parking

Posted on June 8, 2018 by The Editor in Parking, Resort and tagged Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts, Wynn.

In a climate in Las Vegas where it seems the two major Strip operators MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment are constantly raising parking charges comes news that the Wynn Las Vegas is making a customer positive change to its parking; Starting July 1st customers who spend $50 in the casino will have their parking fee comped which is similar to Downtown properties where if you spend money at the property you get your parking comped. It would be nice if this was the start of a bigger trend to lessen parking and other fees but unless there is a big downturn in the number of Las Vegas visitors i cannot see that happening.

Wynn Buys Up Strip Land

Posted on December 22, 2017 by The Editor in Steve Wynn and tagged Wynn.

Steve Wynn has purchased the former New Frontier land across from the Wynn Las Vegas which was the site of Crown Resorts planned Alon resort, the deal also includes the purchase of land that is not owned by Crown Resorts. The land purchased by Wynn is 38 acres for $336 million and is a good deal for prime Strip property. I wouldn’t expect Wynn to do much with his newly purchased in the near term as they are working on the new area behind the Wynn on the Wynn golf course as well as other projects such as Boston, but the new land is perfectly placed for a future Wynn resort.

Getting A Suite Tour

Amazingly in Las Vegas you can get a tour of a hotel suite just by asking, the availability of the tours depends on which suites are not booked as well as staff availability to show you. The larger properties such as the Mirage, Bellagio, Wynn, Encore are the most likely to accomadate you they are also some of the properties with the best suites; If you are interested just call the property and ask the hotel desk for the availability of touring a suite.
