 Review: Wynn and Bellagio; First and Second Impressions - Two Way Hard Three - Las Vegas Blog
Wynn has the 'B Bar' next to the Baccarat room but it looked rather sterile to me. The Parasol Up and Parasol Down bars are casual, but their locations, at the top and bottom of the circular escalators are too congested.
Wynn's gardens and entrance from the Strip can't compare with the expansiveness of Bellagio, but customers and players who have gotten bored with Bellagio after six years may look to Wynn.
I suppose one of my disappointments with Wynn's new place is the lack of a real "hook." The Bellagio of course has the fountains, the conservatory, and the nice scenery behind the registration desk, and the Mirage has the nice aquarium behind the desk and the one constant waterfall package in front of the hotel.
