Wynn Las Vegas

We made a last-minute decision to visit Las Vegas because my kids really wanted to see the Sphere. I booked a twin room, half-expecting nothing, but I included a note requesting a quiet room with a view of the Sphere. It was just a wish at the time. To my surprise, a curly-haired guy at the front desk mentioned all my requests and assigned us a room with a view of the Sphere! My kids were absolutely thrilled! He was incredibly kind, even brought us bottled water and coloring supplies for the kids, and told us to call the front desk anytime if we needed anything. The breakfast at Wynn was also fantastic! Since our room included breakfast, it felt like such great value. After eating Western food for a few days, I was delighted to find fried rice, Chinese pastries, Japanese sushi, and Korean kimchi – it was amazing! All the seafood was fresh, and I highly recommend the grilled steak and pork chops. Breakfast goes until 12:59 PM, so if you wake up late, you’ve got brunch covered!

The rooms are all suites, very similar to Macau, but overall not as luxurious. I used the 'sandwich trick' during check-in and actually got a room with a view of the Sphere – and I stayed at Encore! You can see the Sphere on the left and the Strip on the right, it was truly amazing. If I had stayed in a Wynn room, I wouldn't have been able to see the Strip if I wanted a Sphere view. So Encore's rooms are truly superior. On New Year's Eve, I watched the countdown on the Sphere while enjoying the Strip's super-long New Year's fireworks.

The rooms are great and the service is top-notch, but it can get quite crowded. Be careful if you're planning to visit during peak season.

The room was quite spacious and roomy, with a view of the golf course from the window, and you could even catch a glimpse of the 'Big Ball' (Globe) if you looked slightly to the side. The hotel's 'Awakening' show was also fantastic, with great stage effects. The hotel's self-parking lot is huge and free. Highly recommend staying here!
