Mr Wynn had enjoyed a certain reputation amongst licensed massage therapists here in town, going all the way back to the late 1990's. He used a now-closed massage studio on the westside & their outcall services back in those days.

What is flabbergasting about all of it is that the man could have paid for literally anything he desired from a willing participant.

I'm not surprised. At all.

Once again, someone at the peak of his game. Picks arrogance over good judgement.

7.5 million is a huge settlement for doing nothing. He could of went to court for much less. Funny, he never told Elaine about it. Hope that 7 1/2 million didn’t come out of the Wynn company funds.


Steve Wynn is one of those rare businesses where he is the brand. He used to even advertise this way, my name is on the building.

Buy the rumor, sell the news.

May fall a little more, but if I were an investor and a believer, I'd be buying right now at $180

Maybe that crusty old man gets no pleasure from things that come that easy

A poster here claims rape. You are clearly not reading the article. Sex in exchange for goods is PROSTITUTION not RAPE.

Sell or hold on Monday? The only worry I have is about licensing in Mass, but 80% of revenue is from Macau.

The article I posted said sex without consent. In other words...rape.

Basically agree with you. The issue is with Wynn himself not the company. In most cases the solution to a problem like this for a company would be to replace the CEO. However, whether you like him or not, Wynn is the driving force behind the company and losing him would be significant.

Of course, this is just discussing the financial issue and not the harassment issue.

Umm...no YOU clearly are not reading the article.
What's wrong with you and your understanding of this situation??
The poster didn't claim rape...the article says it:

One of the women accusing Wynn is a former manicurist who worked at the Wynn Las Vegas shortly after it opened in 2005 and told several people that WYNN FORCED HER to have sex after giving him a manicure, according to the WSJ.


Lots of people in the industry have known about him for years.
It's no real secret.
Accept it..your hero got caught.
Good.

I read the same thing. BUT that could mean he coerced her. Hard to tell with today's "journalists".
