The Desert Inn was renovated a couple years ago, and they did a fine job. They know how to show wealthy oldsters a good time and a fair amount of comfort. Burt Cohen's lifestyle. The attendees with their rowdy tavern songs and enormous hats and conga lines will show the Desert Inn a mighty fine time. Mr. Wynn shows you peons what you've been missing.
Waitresses serve beverages and depositions in lawyerly black suits and sensible pumps.
I did not, however, see a single lake. The big pool with the fountains doesn't count, either. The entrance has marble floors, which seems plausibly Italian to me, and once one enters the gaming area, a paisley design sprouts all over the carpet. The gaming room, with painted awnings draped from the ceiling, is somewhat reminiscent of Shakey's Pizza Parlours. Also, be sure to check out the manicured topiaries, a true Italian touch.
