The Wynn is the newest (finished) hotel to be built in Las Vegas by Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas developer who built the Bellagio, The Mirage and Treasure Island.

Built over the winter of 1903-1904, the Old Faithful Inn is basically an enormous log cabin literally a stones throw from Old Faithful Geyser. The main hall is 7 stories high, and awesomely creaky, as a huge building made from logs should be, with huge stone fireplaces and cozy chairs throughout.

The Art Deco-era Hotel De Anza opened in 1931. For many years, this was San Jose's only luxury hotel with clients including Eleanor Roosevelt, Jack Dempsey and film stars like Susan Hayward and Paulette Goddard.
