I heard about it. I would like to see it.
Google maps shows a bunch of construction across from the Wynn. I was just looking at it today.Have they started on this yet...?

I’m curious, too. Hopefully you can post an update. I’ll be there at the end of September and staying at the Palazzo, so this would be close.Going in a few months, may try to search it out just to see...
That old MGM park was pretty fun if you were under 21. Log flume, some kind of small coaster, but my fave was the rip cord. 3-2-1 fly!
My parents started taking me to Vegas at age 9. They would give me $20 and set me loose at Circus Circus for the day. Back then $20 covered a bunch of carney games, lunch, and souvenirs at the shop next to Slots of Fun. No one batted an eye at a 9 year old navigating the city alone. Today, if I let my kid walk to school alone I’d get arrested. I’m so happy I got to experience old Vegas. I don’t think Vegas was totally family friendly ever. But you used to be able to drop kids off in kid friendly places. I hate new Vegas. Hate the clubs with the bottle service, hate the slots that don’t pay out, the super expensive food, the hotel rooms with all their resort fees, and the lack of comps for anyone not a high roller.Ahhh the good ol' days of Vegas when it was all about fun, family friendly themes. Then it turned all adult.

Well there went that idea...

That new 'resort fee' of $40/day and $20+/day parking makes NO sense and another reason to go elsewhere.
Wynn announced today that they are bringing back free self parkingHowever, I have no issue with the parking fees. It's a result of the T-Mobile Arena. You think MGM will allow 20,000 people to park for free to attend a Golden Knights game? No way! Then Caesars has to follow suit, else everyone will park at their properties when staying at MGM. With that said, it just takes some research to realize that most other resorts still offer free parking. Tropicana, PH (cause of the shops), Venetian/Palazzo, Treasure Island.

Think that is a smart move. Vegas casinos on the strip largely compete for the same people. Giving an incentive to choose one over another is a good move.
