  • 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.
