Stephen Wynn (January 27, 1942) is an American real estate developer and art collector. He was known for his involvement in the luxury casino and hotel industry, prior to being forced to step down. Early in his career he oversaw the construction and operation of several notable Las Vegas and Atlantic City hotels, including the Golden Nugget, the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, The Mirage, Treasure Island, the Bellagio, and Beau Rivage in Mississippi, and he played a pivotal role in the resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas Strip in the 1990s. In 2000, Wynn sold his company, Mirage Resorts, to MGM Grand Inc., resulting in the formation of MGM Mirage (now MGM Resorts International). Wynn later took his company Wynn Resorts public in an initial public offering and was Wynn Resorts’ CEO and Chairman of the Board until February 6, 2018, when he announced his resignation. He is a prominent donor to the Republican Party and was the finance chair of the Republican National Committee from January 2017 to January 2018, when he resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations.

    Happy Birthday without you,family and people of Las Vegas, the visions that all have created in this small dirt town well over 100 years ago including the ITALIAN FAMILY. Would not exist as the “Greatest Entertainment Capitol of the World ” as the Goodman’s would say. Birthday wishes.

    May Steve have the happiest of birthdays?
    I have followed and admired his activities since I moved to Nevada in 1978. May he have a continuing long life, good health and many happy returns.
