Charity Event Precedes Public Opening

Guests paying either $7,500 or $1,500 will get the first look at the $2.7 billion Wynn Las Vegas as part of a charity fund-raiser Wednesday evening.

The public will be allowed into the resort at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, just as the private party festivities are wrapping up.

Denise Randazzo, a spokeswoman for Wynn Resorts Ltd., said the private party was sold out and tickets were limited to 2,087, the number of seats in the The Wynn Theater, that will house performances of the Franco Dragone-directed production show "Le Reve."

The charity gala benefits three organizations: the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the Greater Las Vegas After-School All-Stars, and Communities in Schools.

Guests paying $7,500 for two people can check into a one-bedroom Wynn Las Vegas suite Wednesday, use the hotel's spa, have a private shopping spree in the property's retail area and have lunch at one of two restaurants, Tableau or Corsa Cucina.

A black-tie reception is scheduled for that evening that includes a "moveable feast" -- samplings from each of the property's restaurants -- and seating at the premiere performance of "Le Reve." A private dessert reception follows the show.

Guests paying $1,500 each can attend the "moveable feast," "Le Reve" and the private dessert reception.

When the public is allowed into the resort after midnight, gaming will be allowed, but all restaurants except the property's 24-hour restaurant will be closed. Fireworks are being planned as well as a countdown on the Wynn Las Vegas marquee.
