Description Architects: • Jerde Partnership International • Butler/Ashworth Architects
Developer: Steve Wynn
• Tallest building in Las Vegas from 2005 - 2007, surpassed by the neighboring Palazzo Las Vegas.
• Wynn Las Vegas was constructed on the site of the Desert Inn which occupied the site since 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 exactly one year later. Encore at Wynn Las Vegas opened on December 22, 2008.
• Wynn Las Vegas cost $2.7 billion to construct making it the most expensive resort ever constructed at the time of completion. The final cost of the project after the addition of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas totaled at $5.2 billion.
• The project started construction under the name Le Reve but was renamed to Wynn Las Vegas after developer Steve Wynn.
• Unlike previous Las Vegas resorts, Wynn Las Vegas was one of the first contemporary mega-resorts to not feature a theme.
