Hello Steve

Woke up early the next morning for another buffet. Not so early actually as they were already switching breakfast to lunch buffet by the time we got in. Was told about the cheapo trick of stayin pass the change so one can pay breakfast price to enjoy lunch servings. Did we do it? Of course not! Why? Becos we have a date with Steve Wynn. Lol. We are so excited about our next stop, the very much raved about Wynn Resort.

Arrived at The Wynn after being conned by a cab driver that took the longer route, we were told that the room is not ready yet. Bummer. We took our luggage for bag check and was told that they will deliver it to our room once it is ready. How nice. Went straight across the street to the Fashion Show Mall for some long awaited shopping. Shopping here is always a fun experience and definitely a wise choice as the sales tax here is lower compared to the Golden Sate. Our shoppin expedition was interrupted halfway by a call from the hotel telling us that our room is now ready for check-in. Wheeeeee!

Requested for a room with the view of the mountain and golf course instead of the Strip for a change. Turned out to be a pretty good choice. The lush green backdrop with the mountain range behind is just marvelous. And we get to see inviting hotel pool right below our room. Should have asked for a lower floor man. That way, we could have a closer look of those sexy bods below us. Lol.

With the ultra tall ceiling, supra huge bedroom space, floor to ceiling window, one touch curtain control, suite 2620 was definitely one of the more luxurious, huge and tastefully decorated room that I have ever stayed in. They even personalize our room key, too bad the room is booked under my friends’ name. His name even appeared on the phone and the plasma TV screen. I want mine too! The only downfall of the suite would be however, a pack of weird food left in the fridge by the previous guest. Housekeeping, we need you here!

My favorite part of the room has got to be the bathroom. 2 separate vanities, separate bathtub, shower, toilet and a TV in the bathroom. If only I have the same amenities in my own bathroom.

Dinner buffet as at the Wynn again as the wonderful experience from the year before. Although Alaskan king crab leg and asparagus was really good, I don’t think I would pay another 40 dollars to dine here the next time I come around. Time to move on and discover something more interesting.

Feeling totally bloated from the buffet, we decided to walk all the way down to Bellagio to shred some calories. But before that we stopped by the newly reopened Volcano attraction at the Mirage. The hotel claimed that it is not bigger and better so I was wondering how small exactly was the explosion before the renovation. Ooopss!

The conservatory at Bellagio was just as pretty as the years before but I feel that it is lacking creativity and the wow factor this time around. It felt like the simple umbrellas at the Palazzo is actually edging the conservatory out. Could it be that the recession has taking its toll on the attraction? Nevertheless, we spent so much time snapping away just like in the past.

Ended up the night with a really relaxing time soaking in the tub while watching the TV. Oh, how I love the indulgence.
