    I Don't care what the media attacked him for, he was, hands down one of the best CEO'S in Las Vegas or U.S. for that matter, I will never forget how he and many of those in management he hired treated the employees. They really knew how to treat their employees. The people running Las Vegas properties now are an embarrassment to the hospitality industry, could care less about quality or service many now are elitist, petty tyrants and I'm ashamed to say some of them worked for Mr. Wynn years ago. So much has changed, but those that met and know him, know he was incredibly kind to so many.

    For everyone out there that wants to jump on the hate Steve Wynn bandwagon be cognizant of the FACT that hundreds of thousands of people owe their jobs and careers to Steve Wynn and his vision to change LV. My family has been in LV since 1926 and no other person has made a bigger difference in the economy than Steve.

    Awesome how much he loves telling his story after all these years as I'm sure he's repeated it countless times. You can sense that not only was he blown away by his luck but also proud of the calls he made thereafter.

    I love listening to him. What a visionary. I saw him at the Wynn years ago. I would attend a masterclass if he had one. Great man.

    I felt like a millionaire when I stayed at the Wynn and Encore. I will likely never stay anywhere nicer than that. I felt like a million bucks! 😌

    Mr. Wynn my father and I were at your gallery some 11 years ago at the Desert Inn. You stopped and had a lengthy conversation about the art ant we were grateful you spent the time with us. I spoke about the painting I liked and you said it was the same one your wife liked, and she hung it in the laundry room, Oh My, on my end. Well, Mr. Wynn my Father is quite an accomplished artist and I wanted to know who to talk to about appraising his art work. This is a life collection, keep in mind. I think you would be amazed.

    I had to pause this video at 13 min just to make the comment that I felt like I was in that room and he was talking to me... Being a Sinatra fan resonated even more, but he is so cool.. wish I could chat with the guy.

    WOW! I am so inspired by Steve Wynn's stories. He is a financial athlete. His focus of power to produce objective dividends, buildings and dollars can be applied to anything imaginable.::::: I am so inspired by Steve that i re-named my newest project THE MERLAGIO AT THE MERRELLI.COM ::: thanks for the great video! ciao, jimmy merrelli

    Steve wind made them look like malls, he took the fun and class out of Las Vegas, now all the casinos have to build bigger buildings change the rules on the gambling so you can’t win much and now you pay $50 for a drink in a plastic cup. Good job Steve.👉😳

    I miss the gritty, back alley Las Vegas though... cheap hookers, bar fights, and going bust gambling.

    The interviewer is poor.
    Wynn, on the other hand, is fantastic.
    The interviewer says "Got it" about twenty times. Someone needs to tell him to simply ask questions and get out of the way...

      Steve takes over the interview and since he is offering an unfiltered account of his past... as an interviewer you dont interrupt and let him talk...

      That's the dumbest thing I've heard. Ask his employees who ate, paid their mortgages and educated their children about that. Or the people who benefited through his Charitable donations. Money built your churches and your road to it! Why do people Tithe then?
      Go spit that communist BS somewhere else punk.
