The Bar/Lounge at Wynn Las Vegas

"Wynn (with Encore) raises the bar yet higher; its exceptionally large guest rooms (while still rooms rather than suites) boast wonderful beds with fabulous linens (and that extends to the robes and slippers)"

"Dining options are superb (though generally exceptionally pricey), including Bartolotta, Red 8, and the Wynn Las Vegas Buffet"

"Men's barbershop services—including flat-razor shaves—are available in the salon"

"Restaurants range from the classic Italian fare at Sinatra to the pan-Asian Wazuzu, and there are six bars"

"However, Encore has since morphed into rather more than a mere addendum: when it opens in 2009, the $2-billion project will be another full-scale resort, complete with new restaurants, bars and nightclubs"

"Some details fall flat: Rooms have no coffeemakers and your only other choice is to pay $12 for a large pot from room service; there's broadband Internet but no Wi-Fi; and the resort's "ultralounge," Blush, isn't actually as good as its other club, Tryst"

"Massage rooms, wet bars and 50-inch plasma TVs are upscale amenities"
