Wynn Resort Pt. 2




This is the passageway from the Wynn to it's sister hotel Encore.  Red is the dominant color in both resorts.  These beautiful chandeliers line the shopping passage from the Wynn to Encore.
 Once you reach Encore, it is red all the way.  Beautiful solid red chandeliers everywhere.

I loved these huge ceramic flowers and rhinestoned dragonflies and butterflies throughout the two resorts.
These chandeliers mesmerized me.



 Beautiful
 This was the beautiful vignette by the elevators.  Loved it!
Because we don't gamble, we shopped and shopped and shopped.  HH got some new Prada sunglasses, some Harry's of London blue suede loafers (they are awesome), and I got a new Louis Vuitton purse.  It was a big weekend!
BTW we went to the City Center shopping center and it was so ugly.  They had all the high end stores there, but the mall itself was a huge let down.  South Coast Plaza in So. Cal has it beat hands down.  The Wynn shopping esplanade was beautiful compared to City Center.  They need a design team to come in and beautify that space.






 We saw Le Reve which was visually STUNNING!!!  I loved this show.  The trick to any of these Cirque or Cirque like shows is to sit back and up away from the stage.  That way you can see everything that is happening on the stage.  If you are too close, you can only see what is right in front of you and you miss all the visuals from the air and on the full stage.  





Worth every penny!



Don't bother.

I love the Beatles so I wanted to see this show really bad, I had to talk the Handsome Husband into it.  HH wanted to see a comedian, but I wanted to hear songs I loved by the Beatles and the visual show that went with it.  Everyone we talked to loved the show, they had seen it multiple times.  
I HATED IT!!!
The music was weird Beatles: revolver and every unheard track out there.  The few good songs that I liked were mostly just sound bites.  I got the overall feeling of war and sadness.  Empty tricycles with little empty galoshes, mom gets hit by car and child runs to see her and she is carried up to heaven, but it did have great moments.  I liked the Octopus' Garden, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and a few others.  It ends happy go lucky, but there was a lot of dark moments that stuck with me.  There is enough sadness and dark moments in real life, if I'm paying to be entertained, I want to be HAPPY!
