Bainultra
Used in the Wynn’s Salon suites, BainUltra’s ThermoMasseur bathtub is designed to provide the ideal balance between heat and massage. The bath is ergonomically designed with a raised seat to help jets of water reach the backs of the legs, and an inverted “V” backrest to better target the neck and spine. The tub contains no pipes or valves; it is a one-piece construction. The turbine motor can be placed up to 15 feet away or below the floor to reduce noise, and the air injection system uses the excess motor heat to warm the back and headrests. Models used at the Wynn are priced at around $3,000, but freestanding versions with room for two are available for about $9,900.

Dornbracht
The Meta Pur faucet used at the Wynn was chosen for its simple clean lines, which helps make the bathroom feel more like a sanctuary. “They have a single lever—no knobs—which is the most efficient. I have the same one in my own home,” says architect Roger Thomas. The faucet is available in standard finishes of polished chrome or brushed platinum and is priced between $700 and $1,000. Custom finishes are also available, as are full Meta Pur shower/bath systems, priced between $1,400 and $1,800.

Kohler
Various Kohler products, from faucets to toilets to bathtubs, were used throughout the Wynn’s many guest rooms and public areas. “They’re one of the longest and most reliable leaders in the plumbing, fitting and fixture market,” says Roger Thomas. “One of the things we do is to have an engineer dissect the plumbing fittings to reveal the quality in how they are made and to make sure they can handle rigorous usage. We not only choose the Kohler products for their looks, but for their durability, too.” Shown here, the Sok chromatherapy tub was used in 54 of the Wynn’s Fairway villas. The bath can be filled from the ceiling and has room for overflow so that the entire body is submersed. And, as its name suggests, the lights change color to alter your mood. The tub is priced at $8,590.
