All you need to know about the Wynn Casino Las Vegas

Wynn Casino’s History
When Steve Wynn merged his Mirage Resorts group ( which managed his Mirage and Bellagio casinos) with billionaire Kirk Kerkorian’s MGM group, he created the Wynn Resorts group and bought the Desert Inn, one of the Strip’s most famous casinos, for 270 million dollars.
Wynn planned to demolish the casino which dated from the 1950s and which had changed hands several times and to construct his greatest hotel- casino.
Demolition of the Desert Inn began on the 23 of October 2001 but to carry out his major project, Wynn needed extra space. After some long court battles, he managed over several months to acquire several private houses on Paradise Avenue. So with the land from the old Desert Inn, the hotel’s golf club and the new land he had a site of 870 000m2. Work began in 2002 on the new complex that was initially called Dream but was then called the Wynn Las Vegas.
After about 3 year’s work and an investment of 2.7 billion dollars Steve Wynn launched the casino on the 26th of April 2005, his wife’s birthday. The casino has 2716 five star rooms and suites over 45 floors. At 187 metres tall, it is the second highest building in Vegas after the Las Vegas Stratosphere. In 2008, a luxury 2000 suite extension the Encore Suites was added and in 2009 the complex became the Wynn Las Vegas & Encore.
