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.

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.

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.
