WYNN ME OVER

The project took two-and-a-half years, but Wynn Las Vegas recently unveiled its new Garden Suite collection and it’s dripping with decadence. The five-star resort sank $70 million into the renovations, reimagining each of its six most expensive rooms to suit the discerning needs of today’s high roller. Entry through the golden front doors reveals a stunning gallery, stacked with priceless artwork, centuries-old artifacts, and designer décor (think Murano chandeliers and Florentine Renaissance paintings). Exploring every room in the 13,000 to 18,000-square-feet villas is like unpacking a treasure chest; you’ll find hand-beaded draperies, fine silk tapestries, crystal cabinets, and even entire walls clad in woven tweed. wynnlasvegas.com

SIP & SEA

José Andrés Group’s newest Las Vegas restaurant, Bazaar Mar, is a celebration of all things seafood within The Shops at Crystals on the Las Vegas Strip.
