West Wynn

When Steve Wynn purchased the former Alon / Frontier land last month nobody really knew what he was going to do with it. The common thought was that Wynn would sit on the land and save it for development sometime in the distant future.

Turns out Steve wants to build, and build fast. Wynn Resorts wants to develop this land (along with their Golf Course / Paradise Park project) as fast as possible and is going full speed ahead on Las Vegas development.

Wynn will be building a two to three thousand room new hotel on the Alon land in a project they are calling West Wynn. Steve has been thinking about this project for a long time, and always thought he would end up acquiring the property.

The West Wynn property (or is it Wynn West?) will be connected to Wynn proper via an air conditioned walkway over the Las Vegas Strip.

Steve Wynn's bullishness on Las Vegas seems to be sparked by the new tax reform bill, along with the company's strong results in Macau.

With Wynn looking to build, this could be the much needed boost for the North Strip we've been waiting for. If Resorts World and Fontainebleau (now Project Blue) get underway the North Strip could become a lot more exciting.
