Early life and education
Stephen Alan Weinberg was born in New Haven, Connecticut, on January 27, 1942. Michael Parsons, Michael's father, owned a chain of bingo parlors in the eastern United States. Zelma (née Kutner) was born in Maine and was from Maine. When Steve was 4 years old "to avoid anti-Jewish discrimination," Wynn's father changed the family's last name in 1946 from "Weinberg" to "Wynn." Wynn was born in Utica, New York, and graduated from The Manlius School, a private boys' academy east of Syracuse, New York, in 1959.
Steve Wynn earned his Bachelor of Arts in English literature from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity. His father died as a result of heart surgery, leaving $350,000 in gambling debts shortly before Wynn's graduation in March 1963. In Waysons Corner, Maryland, Wynn resigned from a Yale Law School position to take over his family's bingo parlor.
Personal life
In 1963, Wynn married Elaine Farrell Pascal. They divorced in 1986, remarried in 1991, and divorced again in 2010. Elaine Wynn served as the company's board for 13 years, until she departed in 2015. They have two children, Kevyn and Gillian. Kevyn was kidnapped in 1993 and Wynn paid $1.45 million in ransom for her safe return. When one attempted to buy a Ferrari in Newport Beach, California, with cash, the kidnappers were apprehended. About an hour later, Kevyn was found unharmed.
Andrea Danenza Hissom was married in a Las Vegas ceremony on April 30, 2011. Alex Hissom's mother, as well as her cousin of Ben Novack Jr., is the mother of an artist and art gallerist Nick Hissom, Ben Novack's great-niece (builder of the Fontainebleau Beach Hotel).
Wynn suffers from degenerative eye disease, retinitis pigmentosa, which he was diagnosed with in 1971. After watching Mike Anderson's documentary Eating, Wynn transitioned to a vegan diet in 2010.
Career
Wynn and his family migrated to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he bought a small interest in the Frontier Hotel and Casino in 1967. Thomas was in charge of extending loans to Las Vegas casinos at the time, and he helped finance several of Wynn's early land deals. Wynn began operating a wine and liquor import firm he had purchased in 1968.
Wynn purchased a majority interest in the Golden Nugget Las Vegas, one of the city's oldest casinos. His company's stake has soared to such an extent that he became the majority owner and Las Vegas's youngest casino owner in 1973. In 1977, he opened the Golden Nugget's first hotel tower, followed by several others. Frank Sinatra was a regular headliner at the Golden Nugget, and Wynn has since maintained a close association with the Sinatra family, including the opening of Encore "Sinatra" in Encore.
Wynn began work on the Golden Nugget Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1980. After the city legalized gambling in 1976, it was Atlantic City's first and only "locals casino" and the city's sixth casino. The Golden Nugget was created by Joel Bergman, who created Wynn's other resorts. Despite the fact that it was the second lowest casino in the city at its opening, by 1983, it was the city's best-earned casino. In 1987, Wynn bought the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City for $440 million.
The Mirage, Wynn's first major casino on the Las Vegas Strip, opened on November 22, 1989. It was the first time Wynn was involved in the planning and construction of a casino, and he financed the $630 million project largely with high-yield bonds issued by Michael Milken. The Mirage's construction is also notable because it was the first casino to use security cameras full-time on all table games. In 1990, the hotel became the main venue for the Siegfried & Roy exhibition, and the Cirque du Soleil show Nouvelle Expérience opened in 1993.
Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, Wynn's new venture, opened in the Mirage's old parking garage on October 27, 1993, at a total cost of $450 million. The location was the home of the first permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas.
If New Jersey built a road leading to the hotel-casino in 1995, Wynn's firm suggested that the Le Jardin hotel-casino be built in the marina district. Circus Circus Enterprises and Boyd Gaming had also agreed to build casinos on the site, but the company later renegged on the deal. Although the road, nicknamed the Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector, was eventually built, Le Jardin was canceled after the company, which later developed the Borgata in a joint venture with Boyd Gaming, was destroyed in 2000.
Wynn opened the more luxurious Bellagio, a $1.6 billion hotel that is ranked as one of the world's most luxurious hotels, on October 15, 1998. The architect, Jon Jerde of The Jerde Partnerships, was the architect, and Wynn's firm Mirage Resorts, Inc. handled the installation. When it was built, the Bellagio was the world's most costly hotel. The Fountains of Bellagio in front of the hotel's 8.5-acre man-made lake are now considered Las Vegas landmarks. In Las Vegas, the Bellagio is credited with a new flurry of luxurious building projects. The Venetian, Mandalay Bay, and Paris Las Vegas are among the recent developments.
In 1999, Wynn introduced Mirage Resorts' style to Biloxi, Mississippi, where he oversaw the construction of the 1,835-room Beau Rivage. The resort, which was designed to combine Mediterranean beauty with Southern hospitality, was part of a building boom that established Biloxi as a regional tourism center along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Originally, Beau Rivage was the name Wynn wanted to give the Bellagio, but he had chosen Bellagio after vacationing in the Italian region of the same name. Beau Rivage opened as the world's largest hotel-casino. As local law restricted all casinos to mobile marine vessels at the time, the casino was initially located on a series of floating barges. On land, the hotel, restaurants, and other facilities were constructed.
Mirage Resorts was sold to MGM Grand Inc. for $6.6 billion ($21 per share) in June 2000, launching MGM Mirage. Wynn bought the Desert Inn for $270 million, five weeks before it was closed (April 27, 2000). Later this year, he sold the Inn.
In 2002, Wynn Resorts Limited became public. Wynn made his net worth double to $1.3 billion in 2004, when his net worth doubled to $1.3 billion. On the site of the former Desert Inn, Rick Perry opened his most expensive resort at the time, the Wynn Las Vegas. It was the country's largest privately funded construction project as of 2005, with a cost of $2.7 billion.
In Macau, Wynn successfully applied for one of three gaming compromises. Wynn Macau, a landowner, opened on September 5, 2006. Wynn Macau was the fifth Asian hotel to be honoured with the Mobil Five-Star award in 2008.
Encore Las Vegas, the newest in Wynn's range of resorts, was the first in the summer of 2008. Encore's tower is modeled after the Wynn Las Vegas tower, and the two hotels have the same "property" although they are not owned hotels. The total cost of the project, which began in 2006, was $2.3 billion. Encore opened on December 22, 2008. Wynn and Encore Las Vegas employed approximately 9,000 full-time employees as of December 31, 2012. On April 21, 2010, Encore at Wynn Macau, an extension of Wynn Macau similar to the Las Vegas location, opened on April 21, 2010.
Wynn Palace in Cotai, Macao, PRC, opened in 2016. In 2012, the Macau government had previously approved it.
Wynn was granted the permission to build the Wynn Boston Harbor casino in Everett, Massachusetts, near downtown Boston, in September 2014.
Hundreds of people recalled a pattern of sexual assault by Wynn, including several former employees, according to the Wall Street Journal in 2018. Wynn Resorts CEO Wynn Resorts resigned on February 6, 2018, although he denied all charges.
