A Sneak Peek at the Encore by Wynn
We’re mere months away from the grand opening of the newest resort to open on the Strip, Encore at the Wynn Las Vegas, and yet most of the details of the resort design have been kept underwraps. However, we’ve finally been able to get our hands on some interior shots of one of the basic suites.
As you can tell from the photo above, the room decor has a slight masculine feel with the use of the dark wood trim and red accent color, but also makes use of carefully placed lights and mirrors to give the room a larger more airy feel. The only thing that seems out of place is the blueish gray of the seating area furniture. It seems to clash with the red accent used elsewhere in the room. Also not crazy about that oval table thing in the sitting area (see the photos below).

The Palazzo Opens Amidst Fireworks and Fanfare
Racing against the wire, the Venetian pulled off the Thursday (January 17) opening of its newest tower, The Palazzo, in grand style. Flipping the ceremonial switch to start the celebration, Las Vegas Sands Chairman Sheldon Adelson, his wife Dr. Miriam Sands, and Bill Weidner (Las Vegas Sands president and COO) were all smiles as fireworks lit up the skies above the resort.
“As we began the design and development of The Venetian in 1995, we always envisioned a second property that would complement and work in unison with the Sands …

Just a few quick Vegas notes of interest for this week regarding upcoming hotel developments and renovations:
Palazzo, the Venetian’s new tower, has pushed back the soft opening date one week from December 20 to December 28.

The Frontier’s Final Moments In Video
In this final installment of the end of the Frontier hotel series, I’ve got one last set of photos from the night of the implosion. These show the aftermath of the explosions.
The building, formerly the 16-story Atrium hotel tower, was brought down by 1,000 pounds of explosives that were so precise that not only did the tower not knock down any of the surrounding buildings, it also left the nearby carport and palm trees intact.
Tomorrow, I’ll talk about the project that will sit on …

Las Vegas Travel Deals
The price of airline tickets just seems to keep going up, and hotel prices in Vegas have been getting crazy over the years as well. One frequent complaint we get around here is that we haven’t gone far enough out of our way to collect the best flight and hotel deals to Las Vegas for our readers.
Some people evidently seem to think we have been keeping these travel deals to ourselves, just passing the information on to friends and people we meet through our Myspace account. Those criticisms really hurt, so we …

One Last Look at The Frontier
To wind up this Thanksgiving holiday, let’s take one more look at the last moments of the Frontier.
First a look at the hotel, prior to the implosion. As I arrived, I could tell the building had a good majority of windows removed and several floors were scored (parts of the outer wall were removed) to allow for the building to collapse upon itself, rather than explode outwards.
It gave the building a very eerie look. As though it’d been through a huge battle and didn’t come out the winner.
Thanks to Preferred Public …
