There was talk in an earlier article posted here of a waterfall, and one of the animated characters. Don't know if that was before the revised plans. Here it is again, sounds like the hotel has grown in size since then...

In a private pitch deck obtained by The Times, Wynn and Related wrote that Hudson Yards, near the Javits Center, was the ideal location to target “diverse upscale” guests for a casino resort complex.
“Because it attracts the upper tier of gaming consumers, Wynn is able to dedicate less than 10 percent of its resort space to gaming, yet still generate significant gaming revenue and tax benefits for municipalities,” reads a slide in the deck.
The deck also features photos of an outdoor man-made waterfall — and of a couple enjoying cocktails while watching a cigarette-holding animatronic frog, apparently from Wynn’s “Lake of Dreams” show.

The current proposal calls for a 1,700 room hotel. At 3 msf of floor space, the total size would be somewhere between 3 and 4 msf. A huge development on its own.
