Wynn Palace opens its doors to fountain show spectacle

Wynn Palace opened its doors to the public last night at 8 p.m. following a ceremony officiated by CEO of Wynn Resorts, Steve Wynn, and Macau Chief Executive Chui Sai On, according to a statement from the company.
Hundreds of guests flocked into the Cotai resort minutes after it opened. Meanwhile, back in Macau, tourists and residents alike waited for shuttle buses outside Wynn Macau to take them to the operator’s second property.
Just prior to the opening of the doors, onlookers outside the property were given a taste of the property’s highlight fountain show across its eight-acre performance lake.
Propelling water upward in a ‘dancing’ manner, the fountains are synchronized to a set list of Chinese and Western pop songs and musical numbers. According to the statement from Wynn Resorts, the fountain show utilizes close to 1,200 water jets shooting up to eight million gallons of water into the air in more than a dozen choreographed shows.
In the making for more than six years, Wynn Palace embodies a floral theme throughout the property, including two massive floral sculpture located in the South and North Lobby Atriums. Both colored sculptures, one of a carousel and the other a Ferris wheel, were designed by renowned floral designer Preston Baily and are fabricated from more than 100,000 real flowers each.
Also on display at Wynn Palace are thousands of works of fine and decorative art, assembled over a six-
year period and representing an investment in excess of USD125 million.
The resort offers more than 1,700 furnished rooms, suites and villas with numerous personal touches overseen by Steve Wynn. The spa is the largest in Macau and features 22 treatment rooms.
At a preview to the property hosted by Steve Wynn last week, the company leader told reporters that Wynn palace is probably the “most beautiful” resort in the world.
“[This is] arguably the most beautiful hotel in the whole world,” he said. “And it’s not in London, Paris, New York or Rome, it’s in the People’s Republic of China, in the Special Administrative Region of Macau. The most beautiful hotel in the world sits here now, for all the world to come and see.”
“It’s unlikely that we will see a hotel of this scope […] in our lifetime again,” added Steve Wynn.
The property is Steve Wynn’s 13th to date, he reminded reporters last week.
