  • About Wynn Resorts
    About Wynn Resorts About Wynn Resorts Stephen A. Wynn, the founder of Wynn Resorts, Limited, is the preeminent designer, developer and operator of Integrated Resorts globally. Wynn Resorts owns and operates two Integrated Resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada and three in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”). The Wynn development team envisions, designs, and builds boldly conceived Integrated Resorts that set progressively higher standards for quality, guest service and entertainment and that transformed their markets from “gaming-only” locales to diversified global tourist destinations. Wynn Integrated Resorts seamlessly integrate sophisticated architecture, luxurious interior design, and a diverse selection of amenities, including fine-dining restaurants, premium-retail offerings, a full range of 24-hour games, convention facilities, and live-performance venues. The result: unique experiences for guests of the highest quality. Guided by the simple truth that, “Only people can make people happy,” Wynn employees are devoted to delivering the Wynn promise of always exceeding guest expectations. For 40 years, resorts led by the Wynn development team have been the employer of choice in their markets. An Unparalleled Record of Market Transformation As Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated, Mr. Wynn opened The Mirage, Las Vegas’ first true Integrated Resort, in 1989. The Mirage, at that time the most expensive casino in the history of Las Vegas, was an instant success, breaking all Las Vegas records for profitability and for the first time generated more non-gaming revenue than gaming revenue for a Las Vegas resort. The Mirage not only established the concept of an Integrated Resort but also broadened the global appeal of Las Vegas, triggering an immediate $12 billion city-wide investment boom that made Las Vegas the number one tourist destination in the world.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks at the Israeli American Council National Summit 2019 in Hollywood, Florida December 7, 2019 The President. Well, thank you very much. And thank you to Miriam. Thank you. She's so cute, she said: "I didn't finish my speech. What should I do?" I said, "Go ahead and finish it. Don't worry about it." [Laughter] Don't let a little music get in your way. And it was a beautiful speech. That was a beautiful speech. Thank you, both. These are great people, and they love Israel. And I have to say, on behalf of everyone here today, I want to thank Miriam and Sheldon for the extraordinary commitment they make to fostering an unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel. It's unbreakable. Unbreakable. Each of you in this room tonight is a national treasure. Just remember that too. Before continuing, I also want to express our profound support to our entire Nation for the victims of the evil and barbaric attack at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Our hearts break for the families who lost their precious loved ones in this atrocity. Another atrocity. We send the urgent prayers of all Americans. During times of pain, Americans always stand together and never leave each other's side. We do best under pressure. Today I'm here to talk about how peace-loving nations can work together to build a future of greater security, prosperity, and hope for our children and generations to come. I'd like to begin by saying how truly thrilled I am to become the President of the United States and to address the fastest growing Jewish organization in the Nation: the Israeli American Council.

  • Wynn Resorts Covered up Sexual Harassment Allegations Against CEO, Report Says - the Boston Globe
    Wynn Resorts covered up sexual harassment allegations against CEO, report says - The Boston Globe Wynn Resorts covered up sexual harassment allegations against CEO, report says DAVID L. RYAN/GLOBE STAFF Representatives from Wynn Resorts were sworn in Tuesday at the Massachusetts Gaming Commisson’s three­day hearing. By Mark Arsenault and Travis Andersen GLOBE STAFF APRIL 02, 2019 https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/04/02/report-wynn-resorts-disregarded-company-policies-sexual-misconduct-allegations/MSnQwBNif2bRh5DGtPC84N/st… 1/7 Wynn Resorts covered up sexual harassment allegations against CEO, report says - The Boston Globe Wynn Resorts executives, aided by outside lawyers, covered up allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against founder Steve Wynn, creating a culture in which employees were afraid to pursue complaints or believed that speaking up would be pointless, according to a scathing report presented before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission Tuesday. As the commission began long-awaited hearings on whether the company should retain its casino license in light of the coverup, state investigators said that former company officials had carefully hidden numerous allegations against its ex-CEO — and in some cases their settlements — for years. “Their efforts at secrecy made it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for gaming regulators to detect potentially derogatory information through typical regulatory means, which rely heavily on robust and voluntary self-disclosures by the applicant/licensee,” state investigators wrote. In painstaking detail, the 200-page report, the product of an investigation that began 14 months ago, described a litany of misconduct allegations against the 77-year-old Wynn. The report also found a litany of failures on the part of former Wynn executives: to apply the company’s policies and procedures to Steve Wynn, to properly investigate complaints against him, and to properly document the complaints.

Defendants-Appellants Lisa Bloom and the Bloom Firm (“Bloom Defendants”) appeal from the district court’s denial of their Special Motion to Dismiss (“anti-SLAPP motion”) brought pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute § 41.660 (“anti-SLAPP statute”). We have jurisdiction under the collateral order * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. doctrine,1 review the district court’s denial of Bloom Defendants’ anti-SLAPP motion de novo, and affirm.
