Wynn Resorts, Limited (Nasdaq:WYNN) announced today that Publishing

casino resorts in Macau SAR. This transaction is subject to Macau
government approval. "Because of our current focus in Macau, our
Board of Directors decided that any decision we make must enhance
the vitality and future of Macau," said Steve Wynn, Chairman and

positive and dynamic step toward upgrading and expanding the

activities done in conjunction with PBL in Asia and around the

the world and a subconcession allows PBL to actively participate in
the extraordinary growth of the Macau market," said James Packer,
