To start with i want everyone to know that i haven%26#39;t visited the property but have made reservations for a suite, dinner at boulud,wing le and tableau, plus purhased tickets for le reve. At the same time i made reservations at the bellagio, dinner at le cirque and purhased tickets for ';O';.
for these reservations i started the usual conversation and took care of the room frist then then dinner reservsations and last the show. then i had to add one more request and that was a refrigerator for the room for one purpose only and thats for a medication as i explained to both hotels i stated it was '; vials, injectable chemotherapy drug-toxic, bio hazard requires special handling, now we visit vegas 3 times a year for the last five years and have stayed at many properties. in the past year this hasn%26#39;t been a problem because my wife places the vials in several plastic bags and bleaches out the rifrigerator afterwards.
well this was wynns revervations reply '; you can place it in the mini bar refrigrator or you can rent one for 25.00 dollars a day do you want to rent one.'; lets get a handle on this would other quest like to have this place in with there cans of soda, beer or whatever ';i dont think so. the the reply from the bellagio '; sir the refrigerator is complimentary'; i need not to say any more, service is what counts not that you have to pay extra money to store your meds or even the thought of placing my meds in a mini bar
now to give some additional information for my reasons for reservations at wynn and bellagio, these reservations were made in early march before wynn even opened and i expected a few problems which seemed minor or mute at the time to be resolved by now, such as housekeeping not cleaning rooms even when requested to, quest giong several days without house keeping cleaning or making their beds. they refill the bottles in the bathroom instead of replacing them with new ones, who knows if the bottle of shampoo came from some eles room, if the sinks and tops were properly cleaned or when the bed spreads get cleaned i dont care about five pillows but i do care about finding socks or anything eles between the sheets.
if the little dinnette table was cleaned when the previous guest checked out, you know ';body fuilds';, bottles or lotions being refilled instead of replaced daily, dim lighting in the bathrooms, guest waiting in lines to eat at the restaurants even with tables available, slow serice, warm or cold food, traffic jams or long waits for access to wynn which mean higher cab fares, folks that have to park at the fashion show mall then walk to wynn, overlly priced shops, as one forum poster stated she payed 40 plus dollars for a couple bottles of water some sodas and a few candy bars.
the negative reviews on le reve from quest and newspapers stated that poeple leave the show trying to fiqure what it was all about and that it is ';dark'; not in lighting ';all i can fiqure out from an article that there is the devil, shamans, mannequins hanging from the ceilings, angles and nudity. which wont sit well with my wife.
how about this new one today 15.00 to access the car dealership on property'; you get a free hat big deal';. 6-5 blackjack and cramped seating at the slots. The plus side is a large room with nice beding, small bathroom with dim lighting, low shower heads, and no hot water, per a couple of forum reviews.
Why this trip has to be special, first its our 30th anniversary and second it%26#39;s my 50th birthday, so i expect our trip to be special and hasssel free.
My wife and i don%26#39;t really care about the cost associated at wynn, because you get what you pay for in my book and we%26#39;re not looking for anything for free. but we are looking for a hassel free trip and wonderfull service. a person can walk through a casino all night long and be greeted by employees with smiles , but what counts is the services for the quest not an apology or a 100.00 reimbursement because housekeeping didnt get to your room to clean it. your dinner came cold or that you had to wait even with a reservation is is fine for some folk and so is waiting in line at disney world.
my wife and i were in vegas feb of this year and we made our trip over to Bellagio to play the tables and slots while i was at a table a host walked up and waited untill i finished my play and introduce herself to me and ask if i had a players card i told her that i had been there a few times and never got one so she asked if i would like one and i told her yes, then she asked for an id and told me good luck and she would return. the host came back a few minutes later with my new card and waited untill i was finished and handed it to me. i will tell you this i%26#39;m not a high roller either. now thats the kind of service thats counts, every one at the bellagio was very helpful.
i know from the forum, that local expert VHM declined a management position from steve wynn to manage wlv, i was told of time requirements from a post and the one priority on his or hers number 1 list is a daughter, and by no means i%26#39;m not suggesting that this persons job isn%26#39;nt a priority. i commend this person for wanting to spend most of their free time together, so much has happened in their lifes. i have always found VHM, VM and VHB posts to be on the money. last week VM answered a post and stated he hadn%26#39;t been to wynn yet so he couldn%26#39;t give any info on wynn i dont know if time limits keeps him away or maybe to many people i dont think he gambles much at all, maybe i can assume its not that impressive. by no means i%26#39;m no expert on vegas but i%26#39;v been to alot of the hotels and restaurants but thats another post.
so my thoughts to wynn las vegas for june ';NO WAY'; maybe next year when wynn runs a tigher ship and people stop sucking up to him just to get a picture or to say they shock his hand. maybe to boast to someone they stoled a piece of wynn to impress people. another forum post, missing tiolet paper roller, the roll of tp was sitting on top of another dispenser.
some people are impressed by a name, because he%26#39;s so and so it%26#39;s got to be grand, but others are impressed by the service that you pay for and i%26#39;m one of those people and i will leave a hotel in a minute for bad service and tell everyone i know by word of mouth and never return. SO NO WYNN THIS TRIP !!!
An negative thought for Wynn Las Vegas, just an opinion
So...are you 3 sheets to the wind, or is it just me?

Well heck Chuck, with a ramble like that I bet you musta been at the sauce as much as I have tonight.
Glad to see you took a long time to arrive at an easy decision.
Have fun at the Bellagio !
Jinx !
Ha ! Callie !
thanks, i really wanted to give wynn a chance, and i should know better with a new resort, that it was going to take time.
i know i was rambling on with some of the post. but what can i say. the next one will be shorter and more to the point '; trip report for june but i will stop by the wynn just to say i seen it.
Heh Chuck,
I would really be annoyed about being charged for a fridge too, especially for the reason you need one.
It%26#39;s probably better to wait until the kinks are worked out before going to a new hotel.
However that being said, My husband and I just got back from spending 5 nights at the Wynn and absolutely loved it. We had a panoramic room on the 57th floor with an amazing view of the strip. You can just lie in bed and see everything. I loved the room, the shower with the bench, the vanity area in the bathroom so I could get ready while watching the plasma tv, the comfortable bed. Even the little things like the high powered blow dryer and the iron with a retractable cord.
I keep reading about people complaining about housekeeping not cleaning their rooms. We had the opposite problem, they kept trying to get in our rooms. A couple of times they knocked just to make sure everything was ok.
We saw La Reve, and I didn%26#39;t really understand it either, but I still enjoyed it.
We ate at Bartolottas (sp?) and SW Steakhouse and had amazing meals at both. The water show at the steakhouse was very cool, I%26#39;ve never seen anything like it.
I%26#39;ve got to stop typing because it%26#39;s so late here, but it was a very nice trip. I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll have a great time at the Bellagio.

thanks for the reply. it sounds like you had a great time. we will give wynn a try next spring.
';To start with i want everyone to know that i haven%26#39;t visited the property';
The above sentence says it all. What in the h**l are you talking about????
How%26#39;d you get those drugs on the plane chuck?
vegasluvr
first of all i try and read all the post positive or not
from there i try to use a postive outlook
right now there %26#39;s still to many kinks at wynn for this occassion
i%26#39;ve seen quite a few online photos of wynn and it looks spectacular from the outside, the inside floors look great so do many other casinos and so on
if you have any insight to the property i welcome any positive comments

i only take 3, 50 mg vials with me, the needles and other meds go in the travel bags. if they get lost i can go to any va in the country and get refills. havent had a problem yet, its just that they have to be disposed in a red bio container which every hotel has and will furnish free, but maybe not the wynn but i didnt ask either.
