Overlook Lounge, a sumptuous redo of the central lounge that looks over the recently revivified Lake of Dreams interactive show, was serving cocktails infused with edible perfumes to a glamorous full house. (You’ll have to trust us on the guest list, since cameras haven’t been allowed in since the star-studded opening weekend in July.) The just-opened Casa Playa, which serves dishes from Mexico’s Pacific and Atlantic coasts, was packed with beautiful people dining beneath the glow of a spectacular spray of marigolds. On a recent night, behind the marquetry doors of Wynn’s new Delilah supper club, names you would know mingled under the soaring cast-brass palms in the dining room that evokes icons like L.A.’s Cocoanut Grove and the Tropicana Club in Havana.
Wynn’s recent openings have been so glitzy and reservations so difficult to obtain that simply getting in has been revenge enough. True revenge takes place, martini in hand, while dining on an A5 Japanese Kobe tenderloin as you are serenaded by a massive animatronic tropical bird atop a 90-foot waterfall singing Lady Gaga, for instance. The idea of liberating oneself of months-long pandemic constraints is not a thing to do halfway. Andrea Bennettįor many travelers, the notion of “revenge travel” was best exercised in Las Vegas, specifically at Wynn Las Vegas.
At The Mayfair Supper Club, which opened in December 2019, a wild takeover by Pacha Group’s Lío Ibiza in October was emblematic of Bellagio’s next chapter as a resort that retains its classic appeal while embracing the new. Wolfgang Puck now has a weekend brunch right by the fountains. The lakeside Le Cirque reopened in October after a 19-month revamp, keeping the tableside caviar and theatrical truffle shaving. But even as it modernizes, the resort has smartly realized it can’t get rid of its icons. The Chicago firm The Gettys Group Companies, in partnership with MGM Resorts International Design Group, oversaw a full renovation of all 2,568 guest rooms in the main tower, taking design cues from the Bellagio fountains with natural stone and pops of aqua in some rooms, vast showers replaced the old tubs. The Strip icon could have rested on its reputation, but Bellagio has taken the last couple of years to reinvest in the experience for its guests-not just those who walk in for the spectacle.

This Lake Como–inspired wonderland opened in 1998 as a model for the over-the-top Vegas extravaganza resorts that would follow its fountains remain the biggest free show in town.
