"A newly opened seafood-and-Mediterranean coastal restaurant that has entered its second month of service and shares the Lake of Dreams dining environment with neighboring properties." - Janna Karel
"A forthcoming seafood restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Martin Heierling, featuring caviar, crudo, seafood platters, fresh pasta, and fish dry-aged in-house. Located on the shore of the resort’s Lake of Dreams with a redesign featuring reflective mosaic floors and an expansive bar." - Janna Karel
"Haute Living wrote: “may have shortened its name, but it hasn’t shortened its list of tasty dishes. Instead, Executive Chef David Walzog removed “Grill” from the name and placed the emphasis on classic seafood. He makes use of a 650-degree oven for pizzas and instead uses it to broil these delicacies while sealing in the flavor. Walzog also takes off with vegan dishes, creating an entire menu of selections you would swear have meat,” says Haute Living. The space has sat empty on the Lake of Dreams since late July and had been earmarked for a renovation of maritime-inspired designs and custom furnishings inspired by classic French and Italian designs from the 1940s and 1950s." - Janna Karel
"When Steve Wynn bought the old Desert Inn to turn it into Wynn, he built a 130-foot mountain that he covered with pine trees (salvaged from the Desert Inn's golf course). Why? He didn't want his guests to look out the window and see the spaceship-shaped Fashion Show Mall across Las Vegas Boulevard. Since its opening in 2005, the waterfall at the Lake of Dreams has functioned as a daytime oasis, and a screen at night, on which you can see surreal performance videos, an animatronic frog with the voice of Garth Brooks (popularly known as "Wynnie"), and a number of other mini-shows that rotate from sundown every half hour until 11:30 p.m. Among the playlist of three-minute performances is a chilling and beautiful rendition of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” by LA’s Rock Mafia. If you have kids, you MUST bring them." - Andrea Bennett
