Daniel I am only 14 years old,but I think I am very good for my age even though I am up only about 600 dollars in poker for the year.I just wanted to ask you a question, do you think you are beter at no limit or limit poker?And, Do you think you have made more in tournaments or cash games.Your recent win at the 2004 Borgota Open made you 1million+ dollars alone.I think you are a great player.Good luck in future tournys.

......does anyone else realize how cool this is? Even ten years ago, this would be impossible to see?Thanks, Daniel. I know I'm not gonna be playing 4k/8k ever, but it's very interesting to get a realistic look at the experience.

I have to say, I just saw a commercial with Steve Wynn standing on top of his new casino and all I can say is WOW. It looks amazing, so Daniel can you hook us up with reduced roomrates :wink:

From an Architectural point of view, it looks like a big piece of brown crap. I thought it would be a lot nicer on the outside. I'm sure it will look a lot nicer on the inside than the outside and will offer great service to make up for it. 99% of people don't care what it looks like from an Architectural point of view anyway.

Piece of brown crap?What do you really feel?Oh, and it's vegas...outside architecture has to be important with all of the theme casinos.MGM Grand, Bellagio, and the Palms also look tremendous from the exteriorWynn isn't that bad from the outside :PThough it doesn't catch your eye as nicely as a lot of the other casinos

MGM Grand? That thing is a big green pile of crap (if it the one that's accross the street from New York, New York). Where did you get your Architecture Degree from?A vast majority of Architects will tell you that the Wynn is that bad from the outside. Granted I've only seen a few seconds of fly-bys in a commercial and I may change my opinion when I see it in person.

I bet you get addicted to the rush that these big games bring to you. How can you get excited for regular daily events, when you play a poker game that you can win or loose a million dollards

Most normal people don't have an architecture Degree (btw... it should be architectural degree not architecture degree).

This might be a tad OT (okay fine it's totally OT) but what do you consider the top 3 Vegas hotels from an architecture point of view?

I've only been there once and I didn't get outside much. I guess the Belagio, would have to be my favorite. After that, there not much worth mentioning.What I find offensive about the Wynn and MGM is that they are curtainwall with one ugly color of glass. Let's see, you went to Architure School for 5 years and studied 6000 years of buildings from all around the world and the best you could think of is to make your building 100% glass? On top of that you pick one of the 3 ugliest colors that Viracon offers, WTF? A retarded monkey could do better than that.

The big game is mostly at the Bellagio. I wouldn't be surprised to see that change a little when Wynn opens. The Commerce Casino in L.A. also has a very active high limit area - regular 400-800, 1,000-2,000 games, but I doubt anything gets as large, as frequently, as it does at Bellagio. Probably mostly when a major tourneyment rolls through.

[socal11053]

Wynn Las Vegas is like everything Wynn does - big, bold, and unique. I've seen it up close since it's been topped off and if it's possible for a building to dominate the LV skyline (Stratosphere included) this is it so far.

[s_dogg]

I was in Vegas last week, and I have to agree. While I was at the top of the Stratosphere, my eyes kept wondering back to the Wynn Resorts building...very nice looking, and very luxurious I'm sure.
