About this audio guide
This guide to Wynn Las Vegas centers on an October 2006 evening when builder Steve Wynn, gesturing to friends about a nine-figure sale he'd just agreed for his Picasso, Le Reve, swung his elbow through the canvas without ever seeing it coming, a consequence of an eye condition that steals his peripheral vision. The painting is a portrait of the artist's young mistress, painted decades before it ever hung inside this tower.
