More Wynn-ing Coming Soon?

One of the most striking and luxurious resorts on the Strip, Wynn has had a difficult year, mostly due to the sexual misconduct charges levelled against founder and Vegas icon Steve Wynn. But the company that also brought you Encore has some big plans going forward, much of it formulated under the previous administration. One of those projects, Paradise Park is proceeding, taking up a large parcel of the old Desert Inn/Wynn golf course. Originally imagined as a hotel tower partially surrounding a massive lagoon, which would include fireworks, water sports and a mountain in its center, it has been scaled back somewhat over the past year. The lagoon will remain but in a more subdued form and will be only for the use of hotel guests. Again, the project is probably still a couple of years from completion so stay tuned. And, if things go well, another hotel tower will be build across Las Vegas Boulevard with the working name of Wynn West. I am skeptical that all this will come to pass but it would mean even more development on the north end of the Strip.
