Win at the Wynn

Back in February, we went and stayed at the Wynn, Las Vegas. A dear friend was getting married and we came for her wedding! No, not the drive-thru kind ;)

We last minute had to take our kids with us. Since we live just 5 hours from Vegas, we thought we would drive. On top of last minute plans to bring the kids that also meant last minute packing and bottle making and diaper bag preparing and needless to say, we didn't leave until 8...pm. Do the math, include the time-change--it sucked!
But, we rolled into Vegas and found ourselves at the Wynn! We have stayed there before, but never with kids!
The SERVICE  was very fast. Rolling into Vegas at 2 a.m. (Utah time) with two sleepy kids is not an easy task for a mom! However, we got to our room, and realized we had booked a king size bed because it was suppose to be just us. I called housekeeping and within 10 minutes they had a crib for Stella and a very comfy roll-away bed with sheets and blankets for Char. The crib came with a baby bath set that was in a mesh bag and had a rubber ducky, baby lotion, baby shampoo, etc. The sheets were all nicely clean and the girls fell asleep FAST! It really was such a relief. As the trip didn't go as planned in the first place, The Wynn really pulled through and made it EASY! AMAZING! THANK YOU, to the Wynn!

Here are highlights I LOVE about our stay at The Wynn:

The room:

Our view of the strip was spectacular!

The girls sat at the windows (wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling windows)

We saw the pirate show from Treasure Island from our room. We also had a view of their wonderful garden and waterfall below our room: 

It was SO BEAUTIFUL! If I hadn't had the girls with me, I would have gone down and really experienced the gardens and waterfall. My girls would have picked every flower in site!!

I found this picture on Google Images. This is exactly what our room was like! Except our view was of the Strip!Very beautiful! And the beds are AMAZING!!! SO COMFORTABLE!

I also loved the bathroom. Yes, traveling alone I would love this bathroom, but since I had my kiddies with me, it was wonderful! I turned on Spongebob in the bathroom, my daughters sat and watched Spongebob while I got ready and I was able to keep my eye on them the WHOLE TIME! It was so nice and chill. Other resorts, I typically run back and forth to make sure nothing is being drawn on, smashed or ripped. Haha Ok, my kids aren't THAT bad, but when you're in "someone else's house" you take extra precautions! 

Char just chillin on the counter watching Spongebob and eating an oreo. I'm healthy like that.

 Last time we stayed at The Wynn (when it was just me and Tigh) we had a corner suite! It looked like this:

And we saw this:

The Wynn's Cirque show they have is called "La Reve"

(images taken off Google Images...I didn't break the rules and snap pictures during the show!)

And I LOVED IT! 

It's a water show, love story, and dance performance all in one. We had excellent seats and I found it to be a beautiful performance! I was captivated the entire time and was actually sad when it was over. Pretty sure I will beg Tigh to see it again. 

***Now, you might be asking yourself what experience I have in reviewing shows and theatre productions, but I have seen way more musicals and performances than the average person. Let me remind you we go to NYC every year. Looks like I need to start a "shows to see" tab on this here blog!) We leave for Vegas tomorrow morning and I really want to see The Beatles LOVE and Jersey Boys! I will write reviews for those as well. 

But as for La Reve, PROMISE ME YOU WILL SEE IT! And then tell me what you thought. ***

They also have this guy at The Wynn:

Maybe the next time we stay at The Wynn, we will be able to see Mr. Brooks!! 

All-in-all, I want to stay at The Wynn again. I haven't experienced all of the Gardens and I want to, I love that the parking garage is so close to the elevators and with my kids, I don't have to walk through the entire casino to get to our room. I want to try restaurants there, and see La Reve and Garth. 

I give The Wynn a solid 10! For now. I need to experience the rest of the shows and food to finish a FULL review, but I can only imagine it gets better!

The Wedding we went to. The Hutchison Family! Coolest family in Vegas!

 Char excited I handed the whole bag of cheetos to her. Again, I'm healthy like that..

 Stella crashed!

Stay at The Wynn! And tell them The Timeshare Traveler's Wife sent ya! ;)
