Developer: Steve Wynn
• Wynn Las Vegas was constructed on the site of the historic Desert Inn which opened in 1950. The resort closed in 2000 after developer Steve Wynn purchased the property with plans for a new resort named Le Reve. The Desert Inn's 3 towers were imploded between 2001 - 2004 while construction began on Le Reve on October 31, 2002. Le Reve opened as Wynn Las Vegas on April 28, 2005 and construction on a sister property known as Encore at Wynn Las Vegas began on the resort's first anniversary one year later. Encore opened on December 22, 2008 and the final cost of the project was $5.2 billion making it the most expensive resort ever constructed at the time of completion.
