Wynn Palace has upped the game by having its own cable-car system take visitors around a huge fountain with dragon-topped pillars, dancing spouts and music. The free ride affords a bird's-eye view of the hotel pool and some of the 1700 luxury rooms. Wynn has relatively few shops and restaurants, but non-gamblers can still enjoy themselves taking pictures.
Eye candy is dispersed throughout the red-and-gold corridors – 18th century vases, a gigantic stiletto, boat-sized tulips (by Jeff Koons no less) and a Ferris wheel with acrobatic monkeys made of flowers.
