Wynn Esplanade

Steve Wynn took Oscar de la Renta on a personal tour of the then under-construction Wynn Las Vegas in an attempt to convince the couturier that it would be the finest resort in town. It worked. De la Renta located his signature shop inside the Wynn Esplanade, as have Alexander McQueen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Hermès, Brioni, Manolo Blahnik (the second signature store in the US) and Piaget, to name but a few. There’s also the requisite collection of designer labels, among them Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton, and the mustn’t-miss Ferrari-Maserati showroom and logo gift shop ($10 admission required – unless you’re buying a car).
