Attractions
Penske-Wynn Ferrari-Maserati dealership
Wynn Las Vegas is the first casino to include a luxury car dealership. Brand new factory-authorized cars include the Ferrari and Maserati brands. Used cars are sold “as-is” and include other luxury car brands, with some cars on display ranging in price from little more than $100,000 to $1.6 million, such as the Aston Martin. The dealership also includes parts and other car-wares.
Non-buying guests of the resort can go into the dealership to take a look around. The cost of tickets were $10.00 when the resort opened, unless you are a Ferrari-Maserati owner, while kids got in for free. The Penske-Wynn is one of few casino car exhibits in Las Vegas. Others include the Imperial Palace and Caesars Palace. However, the Penske-Wynn is the only casino/dealership in Las Vegas.
The dealership is placed near the valet parking of the resort, so that people can look at the model cars while waiting for their own cars to arrive.
The Wynn Art Collection
The Wynn Gallery, which had charged an entrance fee, closed shortly after the start of 2006 as a result of poor ticket sales. The artwork from the former gallery are now scattered around the resort.
Lake of Dreams
In a departure from the trend established when The Mirage opened of providing free sidewalk attractions to draw in customers, Wynn Las Vegas is constructed so that visitors must enter the building to view the free attractions. The main attraction is a large, curtain waterfall behind a mountain that faces the strip. The waterfall falls into a 3 acre (12,000 m²) lake. Both the waterfall and lake have images displayed on them to produce a show called “Lake of Dreams”. This show starts on the hour beginning in the afternoon. When the show is inactive, the waterfall creates an animated color sequence on the screen.
The show can be viewed from the Parasol Up (a bar and viewing area), and can be viewed through a glass window with no audio. Or, the show can be viewed from down-parsel, with a larger view. Visitors can go to the platform at the Parasol Down bar to view the show with full-blast audio. Diners can also choose some restaurants around the resort to get a full view of the show while dining. Kids under 18 are prohibited from going to Parasol Down.
