Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

You don't pick a hotel for the technology, especially in Las Vegas. But in Steve Wynn's latest hotel, the technology is taking service to a new level. Wynn is responsible for luxury Las Vegas theme hotels such as the Bellagio and the Mirage. Recently, he opened the eponymous Wynn hotel, a giant golden monolith that looms over the Strip. It is not just the artificial mountain at the entrance, the golf course, or the lake lit from beneath by an array of more than 4,000 computer-controlled lights.

Possibly the geekiest luxury hotel in the world...

Of course I have a pair of the original vi reference mugs, printed up in 1997 for members of the Scary Devil Monastery. Great for worrying the neighbours...
