Hi

well I've kind of messed up, we need one night in Vegas next March, literally flying in then out again next day, we were in Vegas last year and stayed at Venetian and JW Marriott, but I loved the look of The Wynn. I read the topic on here about where you'd all stay and Wynn came out tops, rang them, got a great deal and then just didn't get round to booking it, now price is $200 more for same room. Am now well cheesed off, and have started to look at Platinum Hotel, it seems good value, has good reviews on Trip Advisor, anyone stayed there or got opinions? I know its not going to be the Wynn, but the rooms sound good, the rates are good, and it is only for one night. Have also considered Signature at MGM Grand, but the size of that hotel puts me off a bit.

thanks in advance

Friend of mine just got back from Vegas and stayed at the Wynn and was hugely underwhelmed. Most days, the beds were left unmade and she had to make calls to get that sorted out, the rrom was less than clean and she said the staff were largely indifferent.

I've never stayed there, but it's not the same as their press....

I overnighted at the Wynn last week and it was "OK". Sort of an Asian Mandarin Oriental done by someone with half the budget. Views were spectacular and nothing but praise for the restaurant. But the room was just OK, the toiletries (BamBu) forgetable and the room amenities limited. And at the end of the day if you're not in the Suites and able to use the VIP entrance you're still in a casino with hordes of gaping tourists.

Interesting - Steve Wynn announced it as an "All-Suite Hotel"... [V]
