The newest resort property in Las Vegas is not just more of the same.

Wynn spent the past five years planning, designing and developing the 215-acre site that had been home to the Desert Inn. This time, the resort carries his signature: Wynn Las Vegas.

The cost, $2.7 billion, makes the 2,716-room hotel-casino the most expensive Strip endeavor of its kind.

Wynn has again changed the look of the Las Vegas skyline with the resort's 50-story, curved tower covered in bronze glass.

Acclaimed director Franco Dragone will present a multimillion-dollar water-themed production show in a 2,087-seat theater-in-the-round setting, which includes a 1 million gallon performance pool that doubles as a stage.
