As part of the Wynn Las Vegas’s lure, Steve Wynn has loaned some of his priceless paintings to the Wynn Collection. Amid masterworks by Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh, you can gaze at the texture of their brushstrokes as you listen to Wynn’s own commentary on why he bought these particular paintings. Self-aggrandizing? Yes. Enough to make us turn away? Not by a long shot.

"A couple of the most famous artworks ever created belong to Wynn. The downside is listening to the Wynndbag pat himself on the back on the audio commentary, but even that has unintended amusement value."

Wynn Collection of Fine Art review

Reviewed by foodie on January 15, 2006

foodie's rating:

"I remember the days when Vegas was an utter wasteland when it came to art. Well, that was then, and this, thankfully, is now. Move over, strip shows and high-stakes poker. Nowadays, it’s the city’s stellar art collections that offer the best entertainment, of which the Wynn Collection is a prime example. It may be small – no more than 15 works are usually on display – but each carefully selected piece is a masterpiece in its own right. Don’t miss Vermeer’s “A Young Woman seated at the Virginals,” Rembrandt’s “Self-Portrait” and Picasso’s eye-catching “Le Rêve (The Dream),” depicting his sensual mistress, Marie-Thérèse. And what’s particularly appealing is that the collection is showcased in an intimate gallery that feels more like a well-appointed living room than a museum."

The Wynn Collection - Only a double handful of paintings is currently on exhibit, but that number could go up and down (Wynn is a ferocious collector with a keen appreciation, who just set some art-purchasing records while acquiring a couple of costly masterpieces).
