The new hotels are restaurant focused, high end brand shopping focused, with expensive gambling. Clean modern interiors with rooms and resort like pools. All high buck and not $79 a night. I imagine they will wear down over time.
The City Centre project is designed to cut a massive amount of properties out of the action by keeping you trapped in their ecosphere of $.
In my opinion the Wynn hotel makes and captures the feeling of old Vegas with it's opulence and getting "it" that you want the best and a break from life. When they call you by your last name you can pretend for a week.
