Wynn Macau

by David Smart
Wynn Macau opened in Sept. 2006 with around 212 table games and 375 slot machines and approx 100,000 sq. ft. of casino gaming space.

In the first phase they have 600 hotel rooms and suites, 7 restaurants, and 26,000 square feet of retail space.

Walking the casino floor is an almost surreal experience. It is a Las Vegas casino transported to China, complete with water show at the entrance. With Chinese punters and staff, and a few Vegas types standing around in the Pits asking questions. The punters are awed by the luxury. They peer in the windows of the five-star restaurants with award-winning chefs but yearn for a plate of noodles. They admire the designer label clothing, luggage, and jewelry in the shops. It’s all there: Bulgari, Chanel, Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Prada, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton Piaget, Rolex, Tiffany & Co… But the Chinese wonder why the prices are so outrageous – never realizing that these are originals, not the copies that they have back home. They lust after the Russian hookers in the upscale nightclub “Tryst”. They admire the beautiful outdoor pool, but would not use it of course. Then they sit down to play, and Wynn has some of the strongest high-end play in Macau.
