`
`HEADLINE: Forget the $1.99 buffet and try a $47,000 fountain pen;
`Luxury shops at the new Wynn Las Vegas resort help propel Sin City's upscale evolution.
`
`BYLINE: Booth Moore, Times Stafi‘ Writer’
`
`DATELINE: LAS VEGAS
`
`BODY:
`
`Watch out, Rodeo Drive. Before the stores had even‘ opened on Friday morning, shoppers were snapping photos of
`bling-bling in the windows along the Esplanade, the luxury retail row at the new $2.7-billion Wynn Las Vegas resort. In
`a city that already boasts lots of high fashion for high rollers, the Wynn adds the third Chanel and Dior stores here, along
`with Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Graff, Judith Leiber, Brioni and Jean Paul Gaultier.
`
`It wasn't Beverly Hills that Oscar de la Renta chose to locate his third store in the world, it was here, alongside Manolo
`Blahnik and Dior Homme, the second outposts of each to open in the U.S. after New York. Not to mention W.ink, where
`on the first day of business a $47,000 fountain pen was sold, and a Ferrari dealership, where by Friday three $9,000
`children's versions of the sports car had been rung up.
`
`Forget gambling, people were here to shop.
`
`Built by Vegas impresario Steve Wynn (also responsible for the Golden Nugget, Treasure Island and the Bellagio), the
`new resort opened Thursday on the comer of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue, on the site of the old Desert Inn.
`This time Wynn isn't selling a theme; he's selling the concept of luxury. The resort has more than 2,700 rooms in a curved
`golden tower, floors inlaid with colorful mosaics, and a garden path of trees and topiaries mnning through the lobby,
`bathed in natural light. Outside is a landscape that looks less faux than many here, with a l40—foot man-made mountain,
`dramatic waterfalls, pine trees and an l8—hole golf course for those willing to shell out $500 to play.
`
`Even the staff is fashionable, the women at the concierge desk dressed in tweedy, coral—colored Chanel-like jackets
`and the table dealers in blazers designed by John Varvatos. And the souvenir T-shirts, some with "Viva Las Divas" spelled
`out in rhinestones, are by Bogner.
`
`The shops are arranged in an are that extends from the lobby, with a sky bridge connecting to the Fashion Show Mall
`across the street. And while there were a fair number of beer—breathed gawkers about on Friday, there were also some
`serious shoppers.
`
`Visiting from Temecula, Annette Warburton and her friend, Amme Weilert, were carrying matching cherry-print
`Louis Vuitton bags and looking at buying a third in the same design at the newest Vuitton shop. "You don't feel like it's
`real when you're shopping here," said Weilert, who first visited the Wynn shops at midnight on Thursday, the moment
`they opened. "1 just tried on a pair of $l.5—million earrings at Grafi," Warburton said. "And last time I was in town, I
`bought a $10,000 sheared mink coat at Caesars." (The Wynn opening follows the expansion earlier this year of the Forum
`Shops at Caesars Palace, which include stores such as Juicy Couture, Chrome Hearts, Celine, Pucci, Kate Spade, Dior
`and Vuitton.)

`
`At the Manolo Blahnik store, among the crocodile sling backs, leopard—print stilettos and lace—covered kitten heels,
`sales associate Tom Miklas said he was used to having to push to make a sale. "But here, people just buy." On Thursday,
`the store sold l6 pairs to a single customer.
`
`"I had never heard of these shoes until ‘Sex and the City,‘ " said Antoinette Thompson, visiting from Miami. Then,
`picking up a mule and glancing at the $580 price tag, she added, "Now I know why."
`
`Limited—edition T-shirts were created for the opening of the Gaultier store where Lisa Tenner, a Las Vegas native,
`was buying a necklace to match the bracelet she had bought the day before. "The arrangement is good," she said of the__:__,
`Esplanade. "But the stores are not that unique. You can find them in New Yorker Beverly Hills." Rather than the big—IaI5el
`stores, her favorites are the boutiques, including Wynn LVNV, a home store where she spent $5,000 on a solar—powered,
`rotating globe, and the Drugstore, which sells cigarettes and beer alongside men's luxury shaving products from Truefitt
`& Hill and cosmetics by Fresh. The multi-brand Outfit store features clothes by such hard—to—find designers as Boudicca
`and Proenza Schouler.
`
`"Las Vegas is a dilferent planet," said Umberto Angeloni, the CEO of Brioni, in town for the opening. "There are no
`mics, no clear identities when it comes to culture, race or nationality. Even night and day don't have meaning here. The
`only purpose is to eat and luxuriate." The store features a selection of "indulgent leisurewear" more flashy than at other
`locations, he said, noting a $29,000 Persian lamb tux jacket. "It's the only store we have that is open 10 a.m. to midnight,
`seven days a week, 365 days a year."
`
`The opening festivities at the Wynn on Friday attracted an odd mix of celebrities (Harry Connick Jr. and Michael
`Milken) and fashion folks, including perfumer Jo Malone and De la Renta, who made appearances at their stores. Blahnik,
`strolling around in a vanilla linen suit on his first trip to Las Vegas, said of the hotel, "lt's absolutely exquisite. Reminds
`me of Old Hollywood."
`
`For the retail project, Wynn turned to Terri Monsour, a 23-year veteran of Neiman Marcus, where she was most
`recently the general manager of the Las’ Vegas store. With the Esplanade barely open and attracting 30,000 people a day,
`Monsour is already working on an expansion, and plans for a Wynn catalog and e—commerce site. In Las Vegas, there can
`never be too much shopping, she said. "This is the city of instant gratification."

`
`CORRECTION:
`
`Wynn hotel shops — A story in Tuesday's Calendar on the opening of shops at the new Wynn Las Vegas quoted
`shopper Lisa Tenner as saying she had purchased a $5,000 solar globe at the Wynn LVNV store. Tenner actually said
`she spent $5,000 at the store, $500 of that on the globe. The story went on to say that Tenner was in the Gaultier store
`buying a necklace to match a bracelet she had purchased the previous day. Tenner was actually buying earrings to match
`the bracelet.

`
`DATELINE: DULUTH, Ga.
`
`BODY:
`
`Thejilted groom whose bride—to-be ran away four days before their wedding still wants to marry fiancee Jennifer
`Wilbanks, saying, "Haven't we all made mistakes?"
`
`"Just because we haven't walked down the aisle, just because we haven't stood in front of 500 people and said our I
`Do's, my commitment before God to her was the day I bought that ring and put it on her finger, and I'm not backing down
`from that," John Mason said yesterday in an interview with Fox News‘ "Hannity & Colmes" show.
`It was Mason's first public statement since he learned on the morning of his wedding day that Wilbanks had gotten
`cold feet.
`
`At an evening press conference Monday, Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher provided a chronology for Wilbanks‘
`disappearance. He said Wilbanks bought a Greyhound bus ticket to Texas a week before running away April 26. That day,
`she had a taxi pick her up at the local library and take her to the bus terminal in Atlanta.
`
`She never made it to Austin, instead getting ofi‘ in Dallas and buying a ticket to Las Vegas. She spent some time in
`Vegas, mostly hanging out at the bus station, before going to Albuquerque, N.M., authorities said.
`
`It was in Albuquerque that she called Mason and police from a pay phone at a 7—Eleven, saying she had been
`kidnapped. She later said it was a case of having jitters ahead of the lavish, 600—guest wedding.
`
`Mason said he has given the 32-year-old Wilbanks her ring back — she had left it at the house ~ and said they still
`planned to marry. Wilbanks was wearing the ring during questioning yesterday.
`
`"Some things need to happen first, and we need to talk about a few things and

`Mason and his fiancee's father, Harris Wilbanks, who also appeared on the show, said Jennifer Wilbanks is working
`on releasing a written statement
`
`"She just needs some space and some time," Mason said.
`
`But if Mason and the family are ready to forgive the jittery bride, authorities are still peeved.
`Authorities said they are looking into the possibility of suing Wilbanks for the estimated $40,000 to $60,000 cost of
`searching for her. That option would have to be approved by the city council.
`
`"We feel a tad betrayed and some are very hurt about it," Mayor Shirley Lasseter said.
`
`She added that they want to hear from Wilbanks‘ family, to see if perhaps there was a good reason for the woman's
`disappearance. ''I would love to hear from the family and know there might have been a problem and know we should
`work with this lady on some recourse other than legally."
`
`The local prosecutor said yesterday he will conduct a thorough investigation, which could take weeks, before deciding
`whether to charge Wilbanks for falsely claiming she had been kidnapped.

`HEADLINE: Light Waves Concept's LEDs Hit the Hotel Circuit
`
`DATELINE: May 03, 2005; NEW YORK, NY; MARKET WIRE
`
`BODY:
`
`Anyone who's ever been to Las Vegas knows they make high-rises like no one else. On top of being oft built in the
`mold of ancient Egyptian sculptures or European landmarks, they all have an uncanny brightness to them. But, take a
`closer look at the Hard Rock, the Bellagio or the MGM Grand and you'll notice the glow around the circumference of
`each structure is almost ethereal.
`
`That glow is LED lighting, a revolutionary new source of artificial illumination. A recent headline in USA Today
`proclaimed, "LED evolution could spell the end for light bulbs." This seems to be the growing consensus. And while the
`"evolution" of the LED bulb is not yet quite as advanced, in terms of light output, as the incandescent bulb, its Vegas-
`style applications are sweeping the nation.
`
`"Light Waves Concept, Inc., a New York-based manufacturer and retailer of LED bulbs and fixtures, is currently in
`talks with W Hotels, Radisson and US Grant to provide them with the same spectacular facades now specific to Vegas,
`Times Square, Tokyo and Shanghai.
`
`"They [hoteliers] are seeing a direct correlation between exterior lighting designs and guest—volume," said owner and
`chief designer, Joel F. Slavis. Light Waves, originally a track lighting company, has been in the LED business for about a
`year. "Put it this way, since we started in LEDs we've pretty much doubled our business every quarter and the majority is
`commercial. This is a trend that's here to stay."
`
`LEDS use 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs, and they last for 11 years. This alone guarantees their staying
`power. And their attractiveness to builders and hoteliers.
`
`"Casino owners paved the way, but this is the kind of thing every hotel owner would like to do. Until now nobody had
`the funds, but pretty soon, even the smallest cities will be as colorful as Las Vegas," said Slavis. While some city residents
`may feel some ambiguity about this prospect one thing is for sure: LEDs are attracting attention.
