His new creation was received by some travel writers and
architectural critics not with the awe they greeted his Mirage
in 1989 and Bellagio in 1998 but with questions about why it
cost a record-breaking $2.7 billion and with mocking of Wynn's
over-the-top boasts that this resort is the most complex structure
ever built.
Yes, ever.
And yet, Wynn doesn't back down.
On an exclusive tour with Wired News this month, the 63-year-
old hotelier goes further than ever, exclaiming "The engineering
and the coordination of putting those two things together -- the
tower and the mountain -- make a pyramid of Egypt look like a Lego
toy! A Lego toy!"
