THIS YEAR, AMONG THE 175 HOTELS IN THE WORLD WITH A FIVE STAR RATING FROM THE FORBES TRAVEL GUIDE, Wynn Macau set a record: In the city with the most Forbes Five Star hotels (Macau has 10, rivaled only by Paris), Wynn Macau earned eight Five Star ratings, for its hotel, spa, and four restau- rants—the only resort on earth to receive so many. Add that number to the 13 Five Star ratings for Wynn Las Vegas, and Wynn Resorts can now say it has more Forbes Five Star awards than any other independent hotel company on the planet. It's an impressive feat, to be sure, but what does it mean exactly? For hotels, says Steve Wynn, "It isn't as simple as just putting up a sign at the front desk that says we have five stars." Rather, the honor is multidimensional. It requires that a hotel spend more money to offer its guests more luxury (and charge commensu- rate rates). But it also gets bragging rights, whose value is more difficult to calculate. For travelers trying to navigate a hypercompetitive industry, with online travel sites devising their own ratings to sell rooms, the many different star systems had lost their meaning, says Jerry Inzerillo, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. "People buy what is advertised to be four- or five- or even seven-star experiences and have been terribly let down." To remedy what Inzerillo calls the industry's "trust problem," three years ago the guide reconfigured its goal.
