For the next two months they'll be flying travelers between Los Angeles and Vegas as part of a <a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/oct/07/wynn-trip-package-offers-private-jet-three-night-s/">broader vacation package:</a><blockquote> The package begins at $780 per person for double occupancy and $1,193 for single occupancy. The price includes roundtrip airfare on a 50-person jet from Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport or John Wayne Airport in Orange County and a three-night stay in a standard room at Encore or Wynn. On board the private jet, a Wynn concierge will have room keys on

But we were taken aback when we saw this: The Wynn Intimacy Kit atop the mini-bar at <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/encore">The Encore Las Vegas.</a> Old people use hotel sex kits? We kid, we kid. Actually, the Encore is the hipper younger sister to the <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/tag/wynn">Wynn Las Vegas</a> and during our recent stay, we saw more folks below the age of 40 than we've had in recent memory at the Wynn/Encore properties. Certainly, the average hotel guest age

While pretty enough, the site takes forever to load and then <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/7/9/195641/2333/hotels/Hotel_Websites_Steve_Wynn_s_Voice_is_Everywhere">Steve's voice</a> comes from out of nowhere to tell you what you're looking at. It's probably one of the most dreaded websites on our list. But the website for <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Cooper+Square+Hotel/local/247">Cooper Square</a> might just surpass Wynn in godawfulness. Upon landing on the home page, a square box and two arcs pull your focus to the center of the screen. A few options like the hotel's address, reservations system and the all-important "press" are listed on the left-hand side. But what about room descriptions? Photos? Amenities? Ah

Nape: Can Wynn Hotels' Luxury Shops Survive the Recession?

"I went to the Wynn and all I got was this stupid T-shirt." Without a doubt, this is being heard more often around Vegas as merrymakers head to the city of spending without as much cash. On our last excursion, we opted for a case of mints shaped like the hotel rather than an overpriced T-shirt.

So how will the glut of luxury shops at the Wynns in Las Vegas and Macau get through the bad economy? We're going to guess group therapy.
