			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rumors were confirmed yesterday that Cy Waits has been fired from his position overseeing nightclub operations at Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) and girlfriend Paris Hilton has been banned.</p>
<p>The two were arrested last Friday evening after police pulled over their vehicle outside of Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Casino after allegedly leaving the nightclub and according to the reports police noticed the vehicle smelled of marijuana. </p>
<p>Wynn has a strict no tolerance policy and announced Wednesday that Cy Waits, the new managing partner of Wynn’s nightclub operations at both Tryst and XS has been “separated” from the company following his arrest for suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.</p>
<p>Wynn also released a press statement on Wednesday stating that drugs will not be tolerated and Socialite Paris Hilton had been banned from both Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Encore following her arrest inside the Resort. While Hilton is claiming her innocence she was charged with felony cocaine possession.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rumors have surfaced that casino operator Steve Wynn has fired Cy Waits just a week after promoting him and his twin brother to head night club operations at Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) Las Vegas properties.</p>
<p>Wynn Resorts was reported to have bought out managing partner Victor Drai from their nightclub venues last week as Drai prepares to take over nightclub operations at rival Harrah’s Entertainment. Waits and his brother were both appointed as Chiefs of Operations to head Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas and XS at Encore.</p>
<p>Wynn Resorts was said to have a “zero-tolerance policy” which would have been the reasons behind the firing of Cy Waits after being arrested Friday night with girlfriend Paris Hilton on charges of Driving under the Influence of Alcohol and Drugs.</p>
<p>Wynn’s spokeswomen Jennifer Dunne said that Wynn was not prepared to comment on the arrests or the future of Waits in their organization at this time.</p>
<p>Dunne said that the matter was under review and that a statement would be released at a later date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The three year long legal battle between Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) and Girls Gone Wild producer Joe Francis has taken another twist this week with a countersuit claiming that Wynn Las Vegas owes Francis a discount on his gambling debts.</p>
<p>In 2007, Joe Francis lost $2.8 million at the casino and had only repaid $800,000. The lack of payment prompted a 2008 lawsuit by Wynn Resorts. Over the years Francis and casino owner Steve Wynn have battled back and forth in court over claims of intimidation, threats of violence and slander.</p>
<p>Last year a Judge ruled that Francis was responsible for the debt, a ruling that he has appealed.</p>
<p>The new case claims that Francis had a deal with the casino that included a discount on gambling losses, however the casino is not applying that agreement to the $2 million debt.</p>
<p>Court documents say that Francis was not informed that the high roller discount had been rescinded and is asking the court to force Wynn Las Vegas to uphold the agreement that would discount his debt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) has once again lived up to its reputation as a cultural leader, and has become the talk of the town this week after pressing restaurants at the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas to move in a new direction.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obviously, this lends itself in a positive way to Wynn&#8217;s legacy as a trendsetter in the culinary field in Vegas,&#8221; commented E.C. Gladstone a Vegas food critic.</p>
<p>While gourmet chiefs have shaken the menu up a bit at finer restaurants along the strip for several years now, Steve Wynn’s newest policy applies to all dining facilities at his Las Vegas resorts from five star formal dining to all you can eat buffets and round the clock delis off the casino floors.</p>
<p>David Snyder, executive chef of Wynn’s eateries said that Vegetarian dishes have always been available at Wynn Resorts, and while on a smaller scale some Vegan dishes have been as well. The difference now is that Wynn Resorts is requiring all of their eateries to offer strict Vegan dishes on the menu instead of by special request.</p>
<p>While Vegans, who do not eat any food source from animals including fish, dairy products and eggs only make up approximately 1% of the U.S. population they now can enjoy the fast pass of Vegas while maintaining their dietary ideals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Macau gaming operations may have been responsible for doubling second quarter profits at Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>), but the casino operator has falling below rivals in terms of market share for the first half of August.</p>
<p>According to Citigroup analyst Anil Daswani, the casino operator dropped below four of its five rivals in the Chinese territory accounting for only 13% of the casino market as of August 15.</p>
<p>Daswani said the reports were &#8220;somewhat disappointing for an operator who opened a new property just three months ago&#8221; referring to Encore Macau which opened in April.</p>
<p>While Wynn Macau might not be on top, the fast passed growth of Macau has driven gambling revenue for Wynn up more than 50% during the first two quarters.</p>
<p>Wynn Macau reported Friday that its net profits for the first half of the year was up from HK$903.7 million in 2009 to HK$1.91 billion or US$245.7 million, with operating revenue up 52% to HK$10.1 billion.</p>
<p>Wynn Macau was not recommending a dividend payment for the first half of the year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dealers at Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) Las Vegas casinos are appealing a decision by the Nevada Labor Commissioner last month that said the casino operator was not in violation of labor laws when enacting a policy in 2006 to have dealers share tips with supervisors.</p>
<p>An appeal on the decision was expected, and was officially filed this week in the Clark County District Court. The dealers involved in the case are seeking that the judge over turn the commissioners ruling.</p>
<p>The controversial tip pooling case has been in and out of courts for the past four years, with the first class action lawsuit dismissed by the District Court until the Labor Board reviewed the case.</p>
<p>In the appeal, the attorney representing the dealers claim that the Commissioners decision was in violation of constitutional and statutory provisions.</p>
<p>The case is not expected to be settled until the later part of the year, with filing expected in response from both Wynn Resorts and the Labor Commissioner whose decision is being challenged.</p>

<p>Wynn is expected to post quarter 2 financials before the market opens on Thursday July 29.</p>
<p>In the previous period, Wynn reported revenue up 23% to $908.9 million helped largely from strong gains in Macau. Net income for the period reached $27 million. Wynn beat analysts’ estimates of $0.17 a share with income excluding one-time items reaching $0.26 a share.</p>
<p>While Macau casino operations have seen a large increase in gambling revenue this year, the market peaked in May and may not have a significant impact to offset the revenue decline in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>Although shares of WYNN opened the market yesterday up $0.46, during the session dropped $1.11 to close at $87.53. The stock is however back on the rise up 65% to $88.10 during the afternoon hours ahead of earnings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day after Fitch raised Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) issuer default rating, Moody’s investors Service also gives the casino operator a lift.</p>
<p>On Friday, Moody’s lifted Wynn to a Ba3 rating citing positive earnings prospects in Macau which tributes to more than half of the company’s revenue although they remain skeptical about the recovery of the Las Vegas market and challenges the number of gaming operations on the strip will have on traffic.</p>
<p>Moody was hopeful that the current notes offering could help Wynn reduce its amount of debt to a level worthy of an upgrade.</p>
<p>Both upgrades had shares of Wynn rising during the trading session, with shares up $2.20 to close Friday’s session at $87.68.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following the announcement that Wynn Las Vegas had commenced a cash tender offering of up to $1.32 billion on 7.75% first mortgage notes due 2014, Fitch Ratings lifted parent company Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) issuer default rating.</p>
<p>&#8220;The proposed transactions are leverage and liquidity neutral, but will further improve the company&#8217;s already attractive maturity profile,&#8221; Fitch said in a statement.</p>
<p>Fitch raised Wynn Resorts and subsidiary’s Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Resorts Macau from their previous rating of “B+”, or highly speculative to a “BB-” or speculative rating.</p>
<p>Stronger than expected performance at Wynn Macau also led to the increased credit rating. Analysts have speculated that Macau gaming revenues were up by more than 75% through June as compared to Las Vegas where gaming revenues were only up 4.4% through May.</p>
<p>The upgrade sent shares of Wynn Resorts up $4.04 to a high of $86 during the afternoon trading session on Thursday and shares continue to rise while investors wait for Wynn to release full Q2 results on July 29.</p>

<p>As a special committee works to reach a compromise between the House and Senate bills proposing destination style casinos and slot machines at the state’s racetracks, Wynn Resorts has hired a public relations firm to promote a bid to develop in the state.</p>
<p>A casino proposal has not been released to the public but according to news reports from Boston, Wynn has been in talks with Joseph Fallon, the owner of Fan Pier, to develop a casino resort on a portion of his 12 acre site.</p>
<p>Wynn has also paid nearly $400,000 to a Boston lobbyist through a subsidiary, Development Associates LLC and hired public relations firm, Howell Communications to promote the bid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The controversial tip pooling policy, which dealers at Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>) Las Vegas casinos have been fighting for the past four years maybe heading back to court.</p>
<p>In 2006, a group of dealers attempted to fight the policy that called for them to share tips with their immediate supervisors by filing a class action lawsuit; only to have a Nevada judge dismiss the case, sending it to the Labor Commissioner. The group appealed the ruling but it was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2008.</p>
<p>This week, Commissioner Michael Tanchek ruled that the policy did not violate state labor laws.</p>
<p>According to an attorney representing the dealers, the Commissioners ruling did not properly address the dealers concerns that the tip sharing policy violates state laws regulating table games.</p>
<p>“We disagree with the ruling in terms of the law,” attorney Jay Litman said. “He addressed issue of labor but failed to address issues related to the control of gaming.”</p>
<p>The group has said that they will appeal the finding to the Nevada District Court, and if need be continue appealing until the case reaches the Supreme Court.</p>

<p>Scott Peterson, senior vice president and chief financial officer of Wynn was among the representatives being interviewed during the hearings. Peterson told the board that with market conditions still low, the resorts nightclubs have helped to sustain business with revenue percentages outperforming all other revenue streams at the resort.</p>
<p>“We’re making less now than we were three years ago when we only had one property.” Peterson said, stressing that the company’s Macau resort was also helping to maintain the company.</p>
<p>Matt Maddox, chief financial officer of Wynn also came before the board for review and added that baccarat play was one of the strongest revenue sources of all casino games offered at the resort.</p>
<p>The Nevada Gaming Commission will consider the recommendations on July 22.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although Goldman Sachs raised estimates on Wynn Resorts (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=WYNN" target="_blank">WYNN</a>: 84.67 <font color="#4AA02C">+2.54%</font>), the stock has lost over $10 this week to end a month that has seen its highest prices since early May.</p>
<p>The high for the month was reached on Monday June 28 topping off at $89.64, shares have not peaked this high since May 4 when the stock hit $90.47.</p>
<p>The low for the month came in at $74.57 on Tuesday June 8 which was higher than the lowest price of $72.78 that was hit just 10 days earlier on May 25.</p>
<p>Investors expecting to see WYNN continue to decline in value purchased 1,000 now in-the-money calls at the July $80 strike for an average premium of $3.86 apiece. Put buyers at this strike price are positioned to profit should WYNN’s shares fall below the average break-even point to the downside at $76.14 by expiration day.</p>
<p>Bearish players also picked up another 1,000 puts at the lower July $75 strike for an average premium of $2.04 per contract. Hoping that the stock will slip beneath the effective break-even price of $72.96 by the July expiration date.</p>
<p>Pessimists fearing sharp share price erosion picked up 1,100 put options at the lower July $70 strike for an average premium of $0.97 apiece. The stock will need to trade below the average break-even point of $69.03 in order to profit on the July $70 strike.</p>
