Idiot of the Day - Wynn Las Vegas Webmaster
Holy crap, what a horrible website. Seriously, go to Wynn Las Vegas and prepare to get motion sickness from the constantly moving navbars. I went to Contact, you know, to let them know how I feel about their horrible horrible HORRIBLE website, but then the top/bottom navbars were scrolling to left and the contact form starting scrolling down. So I didn’t have to go rushing to throw up, I left the site instead. Hey Wynn Las Vegas webmaster, just because you can use Flash doesn’t mean you should. It’s kind of funny, the Steve Wynn voiceover told me to be prepared for surprises while perusing their site - I didn’t think one of the surprises would be, “Hey, guess what, you’ll need Dramamine.” Even worse, the only reason I went to the site was to find out information about their buffet. I live in Las Vegas, I like fancy buffets. I’d read a bit about the buffet in the newspaper, but I wanted pictures and more info. Know what I got? Information about the chefs in their other restaurants. That’s right, nothing about their buffet. Color me pedestrian, but I don’t care about celebrity chefs.
The news/newspapers raved about the Wynn Las Vegas water features. Did I see any of those on their fancy schmancy website? No. Perhaps it was my fault for not sticking it out any longer, but I honestly thought I was going to be sick. I even tried going to the site twice, thinking maybe I was overreacting the first time. No. In fact, I think I may have originally underestimated the nausea factor. Granted, it won’t stop me from going to the hotel to see the pretty things and to eat at the buffet, but I doubt I’ll ever return to the website unless someone lets me know it’s safe and that there’s a html version of the site.
