Luxurious is the first word that pops into your head when thinking about Wynn Las Vegas. It is one of the newer hotel complexes on the famous Las Vegas Strip and one of the most lavish.
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. Wynn Las Vegas and its neighboring Encore 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 at Wynn Las Vegas is located at Encore and is an expansive room. It offers an elevated poker experience with 28 tables, each equipped with USB charging points.
Cash games run 24 hours per day, including No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and Mixed Games. $1/$3, $2/$5, and $5/$10 No-Limit Hold'em games are always plentiful, as are $1/$2 and $5/$5 Pot-Limit Omaha. $9/$18 Mixed Games run several times per week, and you can find $10/$25 No-Limit Hold'em cash games taking place most weekends.
Cash game players are urged to sign up for the Wynn Las Vegas' Red Card loyalty scheme because doing so earns you $1.50 per hour in comp points.
The Wynn caters to multi-table tournament players, too. Daily tournaments with buy-ins of $200 to $300 run outside of festivals and series, but it is the primary tournament festivals where the Wynn shines.
A trio of seasonal festivals run in Spring, Summer, and Fall and come with some massive guaranteed prize pools. Buy-ins for these special series tend to fall between $400 and $2,200 and are accompanied by guarantees in excess of $750,000.
In June 2021, the inaugural Wynn Millions took place, a $10,000 buy-in event with a $10 million guaranteed prize pool. Some 1,328 players bought in, creating a $12,483,200 prize pool where the eventual champion walked away with an incredible $2,018,666.
