...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. Better yet, the chef, Theo Schoenegger (yes, he's Italian), can make some music too, including a killer agnoletti topped with shaved truffle...
...song that seems to work on all the levels U2 intended is "Moment of Surrender." Clocking in at more than seven minutes and moving with the deliberate shuffle of a man wandering empty streets, it gives Bono a shot to channel Sinatra at his loneliest. You can hear an organ and a cello and a lot of other sounds that are hard to pinpoint, but they gradually converge into a heartbreaking melody as Bono stares into the reflection of an ATM and discovers he can no longer recognize his own face.

...admitted car nut, he proudly shows off the vintage cars he keeps in a special area inside the dealership. There, 15 mint-condition cars gleam amid old Skelly gas signs and an antique manual pump frozen at 19 cents a gallon. A juke box features Sinatra, the Ink Spots and Peggy Lee. The colors are spectacular. There's the two-toned gray and salmon '55 Bel Air and the silky green '57 Thunderbird convertible. How could a country look at cars like that and not fall in love...
