Located in Cotai, it features a 28-story luxury hotel[6] with 1,706 rooms,[7] suites and villas, meeting facilities, over 9,800 square metres (106,000 sq ft) of luxury retail, 13 casual and fine dining restaurants,[3][8] Macau's largest spa, a salon, a pool and approximately 39,400 square metres (424,000 sq ft) of casino space.

[20] The overall development was initially projected to cost over MOP 20 billion,[20][21] and would more than double the operator's hotel rooms in the special administrative regions of China (SAR).

[20] As of May 16, 2011, Steve Wynn was expecting the Government of Macau to approve the application for the Cotai resort shortly,[21] with construction to begin right after.

[22] Wynn Macau Limited acquired a group of Jiaqing period (1796-1820) porcelain vases at a Christie's London auction on 7 July 2011.

The resort's design as of June 2012 included[17] a hotel with convention space, shops, entertainment,[22] ten restaurants, 500 gaming tables, a spa, meeting rooms, and a nightclub named 'Climax,' among other attractions.

While no real estate projects were announced as part of the new casino resort, Wynn did state that there was space to develop such properties if policy allowed.

[18] In July 2014, Reuters reported that Macau's corruption agency was examining the 2008 sale of Wynn's Cotai land plot for signs of graft, after the International Union of Operating Engineers requested an inquiry into "how a little-known company [like Tien Chiao Entertainment and Investment Company had] secured rights to land before it was granted to Wynn."

[33] In November 2015, around 130 non-resident construction workers for Wynn Palace staged a meeting outside the PRC Liaison Office, alleging unpaid and involuntary overtime.

[34] Also in November 2015, general construction delays pushed the projected opening back three months, from March 25, 2016[33] to the original date of[35] June 25, 2016.

[40] The Macau Post Daily wrote the following day that the opening drew "big crowds to Cotai to try their luck in the new casino," and Wynn Palace's design met with a positive response.

[41] Although Cotai's gambling profits had been steadily dropping since 2014 due to government crackdowns on corruption, among other factors, Macau's gross gaming revenue (GGR) grew 1.1% for the month of August to $2.4 billion, "the first growth since May 2014 and beating street estimate of 1.5% decline."

[42] Opining that Macau was experiencing a market "revival," on September 16, 2016, Nasdaq reported that the shares of Wynn Resorts had "rallied to a 52-week high."

"[43] Opened on August 22, 2016,[7] the Wynn Palace resort in Cotai includes a 1706-room luxury hotel,[6] a casino, convention space, a spa and salon, and venues for retail, entertainment, and dining.

[2] Steve Wynn described it as "the most aggressive, ambitious and lovely project" he has ever undertaken, with a design "reminiscent" of the Bellagio in its use of fountains and lighting as a key attraction.

[3] The resort features a number of attractions and venues, including convention space, shops,[22] restaurants, gaming tables, and meeting rooms.

There are 9,848 square metres (106,000 sq ft) of retail space in the Wynn Palace Esplanade, and as of September 2016, brands such as Chanel, Chopard, Hermès, Franck Muller, Panerai and Brioni had set up outlets.

[5] Exterior features include an aerial transport system with gondolas,[10] pedestal gardens, and a 26,783-square-metre (288,290 sq ft) Performance Lake at the entrance.

[26] The Performance Lake is a choreographed dancing fountain created by WET, with more than 1,000 jets and 2,000 lights that are synchronized to various broadway musical, classical, Chinese traditional, and western songs.

"[10] Jerry Sibal was appointed Design, Development and Floral Director for Wynn Palace in April 2015, arriving in Macau that September.
