Wynn Poker Room Details

Luxurious is the first word that pops into your head when thinking about Wynn Las Vegas. The spacious property opened to the public in 2005 on the famous Las Vegas Strip.

The project was named Le Rêve, French for "the dream" when it was in its infancy before becoming Wynn Las Vegas, or simply the Wynn, before its grand opening in April 2005, named after its original founder, Steve Wynn, the same casino mogul who built other mega resorts such as The Mirage and Bellagio. Wynn Las Vegas and its neighboring Encore, a twin tower built in 2008, are considered one of the world's finest hotels.

Needless to say, the Wynn poker room is one of the best places to play poker in Las Vegas with 24/7 non-stop poker action on tap. The poker room was originally located on the Wynn side of the facility, but moved to a brand-new luxurious spot at Encore in 2016.

One thing the Wynn does exceptionally well is run poker tournament festivals. These run several times per year, usually at the change of the seasons. For example, The Wynn Spring Classic, Summer Classic, and Fall Classic run each year with a wide variety of different formats, variants, and buy-ins from $400 to $3,500 and above.

Wynn has become one of the top spots for tournament poker in the world. In 2021 and 2022, the Las Vegas Strip casino hosted a $10 million guarantee Wynn Millions Main Event, both times surpassing the guarantee. In December 2022, the card room will host a $15 million guaranteed World Poker Tour event, making it the largest guaranteed prize pool in live poker history at the time.

That record stood exactly one year until the Wynn, along with the WPT, hosted the first ever $40 million guaranteed poker tournament — the 2023 WPT World Championship, which attracted 3,835 entrants. Dan Sepiol won the historic event for $5.3 million.

Wynn is also credited with popularizing the popular Mystery Bounty format beginning in the summer of 2021. Wynn set the standard for Mystery Bounty tournaments and have inspired others venues and tours to replicate the format.

When Did The Wynn Las Vegas Enjoy Its Grand Opening?

Steve Wynn first revealed plans for the Wynn in August 2001. The American real estate developer and art collector had already overseen the construction of the Golden Nugget, The Mirage, Treasure Island, and the Bellagio in Las Vegas over the years before selling his Mirage Resorts company to MGM Grand Inc, now known as MGM Resorts International, in 2000.

Wynn took his company, Wynn Resorts, public soon after. His first project was a 45-story, 2,455-room resort featuring a four-acre lake to be built on the site of the Desert Inn. Wynn named the project Le Rêve.

Construction began on October 23, 2001, with the implosion of the Desert Inn's main tower. Almost four years later, on April 28, 2005, the Wynn Las Vegas as we know it today opened its doors for the first time. The date was significant because it is the birthday of Wynn's wife, Elaine Wynn, the 55th anniversary of the Desert Inn opening, and exactly five years to the day that Wynn purchased the Desert Inn site.

The Wynn Las Vegas Hotels

The Wynn Las Vegas hotel is stunningly beautiful and is the perfect hotel if you want to enjoy almost unrivaled luxury during your stay. Condé Nast Traveller's Gold List states Wynn Las Vegas is one of the top hotels in the world.

Costs for a standard room vary from approximately $180 to $700 per night. However, there are special rates available for poker players and those who frequent the Wynn Casino.

The Wynn is adjacent to the Encore, which takes the total hotel occupancy to a staggering 4,748 rooms, making the hotel the world's seventh-largest. You should never have a problem finding somewhere to rest if you consider staying at the Wynn.

Golf enthusiasts should be delighted to learn the Wynn Las Vegas features an 18 hole pro golf course on its grounds. You do not have to leave the Las Vegas Strip to fit in a round or two of golf. The Wynn Golf Club is a 6,772-yard, par-70 championship length course in a beautiful setting.

The Wynn Las Vegas Casino

Until Resorts World Las Vegas opened to the public in June 2021, the Wynn Las Vegas housed the largest casino gaming floor in "Sin City." Wynn still claims to be the largest because it combines the casino space of the Encore, which gives it a staggering 186,187 sq ft of gaming floor.
