Steve Wynn Excited About $1.2 billion Wynn Macau

Steve Wynn has started dress rehearsals for his $1.2 billion Wynn Macau, the smallest hotel- casino ever built by the Las Vegas developer.

While the 600-room resort is less than a quarter the size of Wynn Las Vegas, the year-old, $2.7 billion mega resort at the north end of the Strip, there has never been a hotel or casino development this big in the former Portuguese colony off the coast of China.

Wynn's contractor, a joint venture between Leighton Contractors Ltd. and China State Construction Ltd., recently turned the entire project over to the developer and owner, Wynn Resorts Ltd.

This is important for the development, Wynn said, because he will only have one chance to make a first impression and his Wynn Design company will be able to use the next five weeks to ensure the new resort makes the best first impression.

Wynn believes his resort will set a standard for Macau that has not previously existed; much like Caesars Palace did in Las Vegas when Jay Sarno opened its doors in 1966.

Industry insider has said the Wynn name should help draw some of the 200 million-plus Chinese who live around Macau.

Wynn Macau will open in a month and will have 600 rooms; 100,000 square feet of gaming with 200 table games and 350 slot machines; 7 restaurants; 28,000 square feet of shops; a spa and entertainment venues.
