The catch at Wynn Las Vegas

Forbes rates three parts of Wynn Las Vegas Five-Star in 2026: the Wynn Tower Suites, for the 20th year running, The Spa at Wynn and Wing Lei. The hotel itself, which takes in the Resort King and the Panoramic rooms, is Four-Star. The difference is not the room. A Wynn Tower Suite King is the same 640 sq ft (59 m²) as a Resort King, with a canopy over the bed. What changes is the setting: an entrance, registration lobby and lifts of its own, a private pool deck with cabanas, twice-daily housekeeping, coffee from 7am to 8.30am and free valet parking. On Tuesday 18 May 2027 that step cost $250 a night, $929 against $679.

Every room carries a resort fee of $55 a night plus tax, on top of a rate that started at $679 for a Resort King on Tuesday 18 May 2027. The fee covers self-parking for two cars, Wi-Fi on any number of devices, bottled water refreshed daily, local and US long-distance calls, the fitness centre for two and a digital newsstand. Valet parking is $40 a day unless you are staying in the Tower Suites. The room rate itself moves hard with the calendar: Sunday is usually the cheapest night, and big conventions and event weeks can take a Resort King from about $400 to $1,800 a night.

From the Strip-side entrance the near neighbours are quick: Fashion Show is 3 minutes across the Boulevard, Treasure Island 5 and the Rialto Bridge at The Venetian 10. The Center Strip is another matter. Caesars Palace and the High Roller are 20 minutes on foot, the Bellagio fountains about 25, and the nearest monorail station, Harrah's & The LINQ, 17. Every one of those times starts at the Strip-side door, so add the walk from your room through the resort. An evening at the fountains means close to an hour on foot there and back.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix runs from Thursday 19 to Saturday 21 November 2026. Its circuit runs along Sands Avenue between the hotel and The Palazzo, then turns left onto Las Vegas Boulevard opposite Treasure Island and heads south down the Strip. In 2025 the circuit's roads closed to traffic from 1pm on each race day, and the pedestrian bridges were fitted with safety screens. The hotel's race offer is three nights in a resort room, Thursday to Sunday: a Resort King was $1,100 on the Thursday and $2,000 on the Friday and the Saturday, with a three-night minimum for Thursday and Friday arrivals, against $299 for the Sunday after.

Smoking is allowed on Wynn's casino floor, outside in the patio and pool areas, and on designated hotel floors. The casino is the resort's crossroads: The Buffet opens just off it, and Allegro sits beside the race and sports book. Smoking in a non-smoking room brings a cleaning fee of up to $1,500, and marijuana is banned in the rooms and throughout the resort. Which floors are set aside for smokers is not published, so the only way to be sure of a non-smoking one is to ask.
