...menu but whose selling point is that its walls automatically change out like set decorations to give the room an entirely different look every so often. Impressive, if pointless. There's a steak place called Botero that displays works by the Colombian artist and a more modest joint called Café Society. We dined at Wynn's signature restaurant, Sinatra, named for ole you-know-who, a Wynn pal. If you like Sinatra's music, the restaurant is a calm, beautiful setting in which to enjoy it.

But they're yearning for the boom that is about to come. At Café del Mar - the Cartagena branch of the famed Ibiza beach bar - a bartender quizzed me one night on how I would describe his city to the people back home. "Tell them," he begged, "tell them it's not like Afghanistan here...
