The Wynn Las Vegas is not an old hotel. It opened in 2005 and was last renovated in 2010. It's an exquisite - and, more importantly for the sake of this post, modern - property. Why, then, is its website reminiscent of a CD-ROM menu from 1994? Everything from the frames to the bullet points to the seemingly generic layout built from a template make the site look like it was made on a shoestring budget by the designers of GeoCities. The single most marvelous aspect of the site, however, is the auto-play video that takes up more than half the screen and features 70-year-old Steve Wynn welcoming you to the website and marveling at the wonders of the internet.
Look, all hotel websites are horrible, and the more Flash they use and music they auto-play, the worse they are. But this? This isn't even trying. This is either a joke, a tragic mistake or proof that Steve Wynn has spent too much time in the tanning booth.
