Selecting gift for any person who love art, require concentration and research work too. Here you can select from the collection, which focuses primarily on 19th and 20th-century works by European and American artists, includes masterpieces by Édouard Manet, Andy Warhol, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, and Paul Gauguin.

 The centerpiece of the collection is Le Rêve, the Pablo Picasso portrait that was the working name of the resort project. Wynn reportedly purchased the painting in 1997 for $42.4 million, one of the highest prices ever paid for a Picasso. He was to sell it to Steven A. Cohen for $139 million, which would have been the highest price paid for any piece of art, until he accidentally put his elbow through the canvas while talking about the painting. It is currently being restored, but the sale is off.

Many of the collections pieces were on display at the Bellagio. The collection was on display at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno while the Wynn Las Vegas was being constructed and was installed in the resort shortly before it was opened.

Wynn owns an impressive art collection, which has at various times been on display to the public in his casinos. It includes paintings by Picasso, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Warhol, and Matisse. Most recently he spent a record price for a painting by J. M. W. Turner -- $35.8 million for Turner's Giudecca, La Donna Della Salute and San Giorgio.
