Steve Wynn Discusses Building The "Mirage"

This is a clip from 2007 where Steve Wynn discusses building the "Mirage" resort with Michael Eisner on CNBC. 

Has The Wynn Resorts Become The "Palms"

In recent years in Las Vegas there were three high end hotels that were way above the rest in terms of quality, service and luxury; they were the "Bellagio" as well as the "Wynn" and the "Encore" resorts. Below those three properties was the "Venetian" and "Plazzo" hotels followed by resorts such as the new "Aria" and "Cosmopolitan." The "Bellagio" was created by Steve Wynn and for the most part MGM has managed to keep that properties high standards and not messed with it too much. Steve Wynn who got married last weekend decided to build a high end pool area at the side of the Strip in front of "Encore" called the Encore Beach Club which didn't seem a bad idea to bring in new revenue during these tough times. But with this move and the new push on nightclubs at the properties a whole different audience is coming to the property. The audience is younger and seems to be more interested in getting drunk and partying than gambling on the casino floor or shopping in the high end shops. Paris Hilton getting stopped by the police outside the hotel after partying their isn't good pr for the property although in her case it reportedly did get her banned. The question is when the economy improves will Wynn pull back from turning his properties in to a nightclub venue with hotel rooms attacted the question is if this new audience will bring in as much income as the gamblers did.

Authorized Steve Wynn Wedding Video

Last week was the big wedding no not the one with the Brits it was the wedding of Steve Wynn to Andrea Hisson at his "Encore" resort. This is the offical version released by Wynn Resorts of their pre wedding practice with Steve Wynn dressed up as Elvis. 

The Big Wedding Is Near

Yes the time is nearly here for the big wedding no not the Royal Wedding of William and Kate im talking about this weekends wedding of Steve Wynn and Andrea Hisson in a $1 milion ceremony at his "Encore" property. The 1,500 guests of course will be comped at either the "Wynn" or the "Encore" and the guest list is expected to have some big names such as Garth Brooks, Celine Dion, Sylvester Stallone and Donald Trump. The best man is most likely to be Clint Eastwood as Mr Wynn was best man at Clint Eastwoods 1996 wedding. Some of Steve Wynn's guests are said to be high rollers who have been flown in for the wedding and im sure will spend lots of money at the tables of the casino's.

Steve Wynn Advertising For Caesars?

Recently Steve Wynn the legendary former owner of the Mirage Group and current owner of the "Wynn" and "Encore" visited the new circus like show 'Absinthe' outside of "Caesar's Palace." This is interesting first because Mr Wynn was pictured at a competitors property which doesn't happen often although him and his date seemed to be having a good time. The other interesting thing is the Twitter account of "Caesars Palace" send out a tweet (message) that said 'even the competition cannot resist Steve Wynn attended Abstinthe in Las Vegas last night yeah that happened.' The comment was fun but i don't expect Mr Wynn to appear in Caesars ads anytime soon.
