He started work on the Wynn Las Vegas, then purchased the former Desert Inn casino and built Encore, which is mainly a boutique hotel vs a casino. Wynn hasnt stopped there though – he’s intending on building a conference center, and completely re-doing the Wynn Las Vegas Golf Course. Wynn sees the future bright for high end casinos and super luxury accommodations and Steve Wynn is one of the few who have the golden touch.

Steve has always been over the top – when he opened the Wynn Las Vegas in 2005 he stood atop the roof with a helicopter filming his introduction – almost everyone (myself included) thought it was fake, apparently it wasnt. Not to be outdone, he did the same thing for the Encore, where you can view it on Encore’s website and on TV as well.  To prove it was all real, a behind-the-scenes video was produced.

It’s very impressive. I have to give kudos to Steve for putting himself out there like that, and it shows the dedication he has to his own properties.

You can see all the videos below, take the time to watch them. They are pretty cool.
