So What Is A Wynn Room Like?

The low end rooms at Wynn, which start at a high end price of $219, are really not all that impressive.
First, it is really hard to get comfortable in a room covered in an interesting shade of pinkish orange.
Second, with quotes like this on the Wynn website, "Michaleangelo took four years to complete the Sistine Chapel, your room took five",
the room was really going to have to impress. Alas, room 5559 just isn't living up to the stratospheric expectations Wynn set. Whatever happened to under promise, over deliver?
More room details after the break
From room 5559, I do have an incredible view of the strip out of my floor-to-ceiling windows. Furthermore, I can see the man-made Wynn mountain and waterfall, as well a group of what must be high end Wynn "villas", which appear to have their own pool. It is quite possible that the higher priced rooms are completely impressive, however, for my money, the Venetian and THE Hotel both offer better rooms at or below the current Wynn price point.
A pre-opening Wynn report said that the room's flat screen televisions were not in optimal viewing position, however, I would argue that the televisions are in a fine position. They pull out so you can view the television from the bed, straight on, or you can place the television flush to the wall and watch tv from the couch. It is also worth noting that Gateway HD LCDs are the televisions of choice throughout the Wynn, and these panels are some of the crispest I have ever set eyes on.
It isn't that there is anything visibly wrong with these rooms, I would just change the Wynn website copy a bit.

It's easy to mistake any of our rooms and suites for a stylish apartment in New York City, London or Rome.

It's easy to mistake any of our rooms for a traditional condo in Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, or Winterhaven.
