Random Vegas Snaps: Part 2

by nathanbranch on June 25, 2009 | COMMENTS

The Wynn Hotel is my favorite hotel/casino in Vegas — much of the decorative elements and color schemes are said to have been inspired by paintings in casino mogul Steve Wynn‘s personal art collection (he’s partial to Picasso).

And they have great restaurants, too.

Some detail shots from the mosaic tile patterns in the lobby floor of the Wynn, plus a few uber-whimsical lighting elements:

And I’d be a poor luxury blogger if I didn’t include a photo of the Chanel boutique window in the retail shopping promenade — Chanel had by far the best displays:

The luxury shops in the hotel’s promenade were all struggling, with lonely sales clerks looking forlornly through the glass windows as tourists strolled past. Several boutiques where I stopped in had significantly more items on sale than what they offered at regular price.

The BF and I remarked to each other that we don’t know how the luxury industry can survive such drastic markdowns on such a large quantity of merchandise. It sucks all the air of desirability out of, say, a Zac Posen, a Narciso Rodriguez or a Roland Mouret when you see racks of their dresses on sale for 60% off.

The only stores at the Wynn where I didn’t see sale signs were Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton and Hermes. I didn’t see any customers in their shops, either, but hey — who am I to judge?
