Exploring the casino floor and players casino club in the strips newest resort hotel and Casino

There has been a lot of publicity since Wynns well publicized opening in late April, and some of it has been negative, which apparently has made their management a bit leery of reporters. (Responses to my inquiries were either nonexistent, or my right to do a story without their permission was questioned.)

This is sad because, for the most part, I really like the property. It is elegant, but with a more comfortable atmosphere than the Bellagio or Venetian. And the property is very well laid out. For example, to walk from my car to the casino floor only took minutes. The meals I ate there were very nice-and I do enjoy looking at Maseratis.

What I really like, though, is the casino floor and the players club, which are my principal concerns in any casino. It is easy to find your favorite game or machine of chance on the casino floor (and if you cannot, just ask any of the well-trained knowledgeable staff). Table games include double deck and six-deck blackjack where dealers stand on all 17s, along with some six-deck shoes and continual shuffle games where dealers hit soft 17s. High-limit roulette players are in luck, as the casino has single-zero roulette with en prison where even-money bettors receive half their money back when the zero hits. This reduces the house edge to below 1.4 percent, which is considerably better than the normal 5.3 percent take. (please note that table minimum for this game is $100.) Craps player will find 3-5-times odds.

All Wynn table games use state-of-the-art radio frequency identification chips that can be tracked by the casino. This can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your style of play. It does make it much easier for the casino to keep track of your table action, especially if you (like me) tend to vary bets from one hand to the next (which can cause your action to be seriously understated by traditional manual observation). However, if you actively try to overstate your action by only betting big when the supervisor is watching, or overstate losses by squirreling poker chips in your pocket or purse, then Wynn may not be your favorite pit. Even if you do not hide winnings (or count cards), some may be put off by the Orwellian Big Brother aspect of the whole system.
