Wynn Macau (Peninsula)
The original Wynn resort in Macau, on the peninsula near the Grand Lisboa — distinct from its larger Cotai sibling, Wynn Palace.
Wynn Macau opened in 2006 on the peninsula, several years before its larger Cotai sibling Wynn Palace. The two are separate resorts under the same brand — Wynn Macau sits in the older casino district near the Grand Lisboa, while Wynn Palace is on the Cotai Strip near The Venetian. If you're searching for "Wynn Macau" expecting the cable car and lake show, that's actually Wynn Palace — this page covers the original peninsula property.
What to do there
- Performance Lake — Wynn Macau has its own (smaller) choreographed fountain show in front of the resort, the original version of the concept later scaled up at Wynn Palace.
- Location advantage — being on the peninsula, it's walkable to the Grand Lisboa and a short taxi ride from Senado Square and the Ruins of St Paul's, unlike the Cotai resorts.
- Casino floor — 21+ with photo ID required.
- High-end shopping and dining — a smaller, more curated retail offering than the Cotai megaresorts.
