The Wynn Hotel opened in early 2005. It’s a 50-story hotel on the Las Vegas Strip that belongs to Steve Wynn. Steve Wynn was the creator of The Bellagio, The Mirage, and Treasure Island but he sold all of his properties to the MGM. He then set out to create his own masterpiece trying to out surpass all of his other creations, while trying to do so he spent 2.7 billion on the amazing Wynn hotel; it has a beautiful golf course on the back portion of the property, along with a Ferrari shop inside the hotel to make you think that you are filthy rich while visiting this desert oasis. This hotel has lots of different amenities, but in my opinion it wasn’t able to surpass the ambience of the Bellagio...Read More

The Paris Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip is truly captivating. It has everything from a half scale Eiffel Tower, a two-thirds size Arc de Triumph and a replica of the Fountain of Mers. The front of the hotel looks like the Paris Opera House and the Louvre. This is one of the most ornate hotels in Las Vegas. Upon entering this hotel, I was amazed to see all of the detailing on the inside of the hotel as well. The entrance flooring is marble with large granite medallions. The hotel lobby sparkles brilliantly from all of the hanging crystals on their gorgeous chandeliers and from the intricate mosaic tile...Read More

As far as buffets go, the Wynn Buffet is superb. The food has incredible flavoring and everything always tastes remarkable for being Buffet food. The food displays are always amazing. The ambiance of the restaurant is very elegant but yet it still has a casual feeling to it. Their floors were very intricate with shiny mosaic tiles in various places and they had beautiful décor throughout the entire restaurant. The dessert selection was unbelievable; they even had someone at the serving station distributing the desserts that were behind the case.This Buffet serves a little bit of everything; from the usual Vegas buffet crab legs and prime rib to Asian foods and Indian foods. They had three d...Read More

Village Seafood Buffet Best of IgoUgo

If you love seafood then you have to try the food at the Village Seafood Buffet inside The Rio Hotel. It’s a little pricey for being a buffet but it’s all-you-can-eat lobster, crab legs, shrimp, prime rib and all of the other side dishes that they offer. No other buffet on the Las Vegas strip currently offers lobster. When you do decide to try this buffet make sure you get there early if you want right in. I’ve been there a few times where I’ve arrived around 5pm and the wait has been over two hours long. Luckily the Rio has live shows in the Casino to keep the crowds in line entertained. The restaurant itself isn’t anything fancy, the decor inside resembles a seafood market. The flooring is a...Read More

Attraction | "Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden"

Inside of the Bellagio Hotel there are many neat things to fascinate tourist’s interests. My favorite place within the Bellagio is their conservatory. The conservatory consists of a 14,000 square foot room full of living plants, trees and flowers done up to make wonderful displays representing the different seasons and Chinese New Year. Only three trees are permanent fixtures in the conservatory which means everything is replaced when the next exhibit rotates. The floors are made out of small intricate mosaic marble tiles that make up various images throughout the pathways. The outside light filters in from above the conservatory through beautiful etched glass ornamented by decorative green wrought ir...Read More
