Photos: Macau, Wynn Changes, The Mirage and More!

Posted by Hunter

Howdy folks, back from Las Vegas with a photo update. I'll follow this with a written opinion piece as soon as I can.

Before we get to Vegas though, let's look at Macau. Our man on the scene Chris has written in with some fresh photos of Wynn Macau, The Venetian, Galaxy Starworld, Grand Emperor and more. Thanks again to Chris for keeping us westerners up to date.

The Macau photos are located here, the new ones are on that second page and the third as well. Enjoy.

On the Vegas side of things, the pictures include the updated Corsa Cucina at Wynn Las Vegas, Kokomo's, STACK and Fin at The Mirage, and some great shots from MIX at the top of THEHotel. Some of the shots, especially of STACK, didn't come out very well. I included them because unfortunately that was the best I have and I know you guys wanted to see what it looks like.

Generally, some really exciting changes at The Mirage and even Wynn. I'll save the bulk of this for my other post but we did eat at STACK and loved it, plus we spent an evening at Tryst, Wynn's re-born nightclub, formerly known as La Bete. The changes at The Mirage have dramatically altered the customer profile, even in this short amount of time. Anyway, more on that when I write my report. For now, enjoy the photos:

Yeah, it's done on the other sides, just finishing up that last side.

Hunter, where did you get those elevated shots of Palazzo?
Is the pedestrian bridge open yet? It look like the low rises and the high rises have some prelimimnary steel proking out of the garage?
Might you have any idea on when the stell and concrete will start rising in to the air?


P.S.- love the pics

Yes, all three bridges at Spring Mountain/Sands/LVB are now open but the Palazzo side is walled off if you're standing there and trying to look East over the bulk of the site. You can see most of the site anyway...

There is some steel sticking up in various places but at this point it's tough to determine what is what. The back of the site has a large concrete mass that based on the renderings I'm assuming will be the infrastructure for the main elevators.
