The Charismatic Mr. Wynn
Have you ever seen legendary dealmaker Steve Wynn speak? We did yesterday at the big annual NYU hotel conference (37th year, 2,800 attendees at NYC’s Marriott Marquis). Our shutter finger couldn’t follow fast enough.
We’d know that voice anywhere, of course, from all those ads you hear him speak in the cabs of Vegas for hotels he’s created like the Mirage, Bellagio, Treasure Island, and of course Wynn and Encore. But they don’t do him justice unless you also see the gestures…
As he tells the stories…
And philosophies…
And ideas…
And bigger ideas…
That drive him. It was as good a show as you’d find in his own Vegas venues.
