The Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace hotels are located in Macau. The Wynn Las Vegas operates on the Strip in Las Vegas. The Encore Boston Harbor is located in Everett, Massachusetts. Slot machines generate the largest revenues in this segment.
Restaurants and Bars: In addition to the casinos, many restaurants, bars and nightclubs are located in or around the hotels. The company can generate further revenues from these.
Hotels: This segment is about the revenues generated by hotel bookings. Wynn Resorts offers around 8,135 hotel rooms and suites in the USA. All hotels include one of the casinos mentioned above.
Entertainment, Retail: This segment primarily includes the operation of recreational facilities (nightclubs, wedding chapels, spas, etc.) and the various shopping outlets. In addition to selling Ferraris, customers can also purchase clothing from Chanel, Graff, Manolo Blahnik, Louis Vuitton.
In addition, extensive meeting facilities are available.
Wynn Resorts uses its hotels, restaurants, bars and retail stores mainly to attract customers to its casinos. After all, that's where most of the revenue is generated.
Subsidiary Wynn Interactive operates the WynnBET digital and interactive sports betting app in New Jersey, Colorado, Michigan, Virginia, Indiana, Arizona, Tennessee, Louisiana and New York. Sports betting is becoming increasingly popular in the US. Through its subsidiary, Wynn has a foot in the door.
In Las Vegas, the company benefits from the fact that many major sporting events, such as boxing matches or Formula 1 races, take place there. Las Vegas has also recently become home to the NFL team Las Vegas Raiders. All this attracts people from all over the world to Sin City and the Wynn Las Vegas casino.

Wynn Resorts mission is to provide an unforgettable experience for its guests. Excellent service, fun and luxury are at the forefront. The company offers an all-in-one package with its restaurants, bars, shopping, entertainment and hotels.

How does the stock look chart-wise? (US dollars converted into euros) 📈📉
Recently, the share ran the 116€ mark, which counted as resistance. This resistance also held. Thereupon, the share ran a small support at just under 98€ which has held for the time being. It could well be that the share now takes momentum and breaks through the 116 € mark sustainably and continues to rise. If this is not the case and the share goes below the support zone, the next starting point would be first 93 €. There is already an important support. If we assume that this is also broken through, then the share would have a lot of room to the downside for the time being. If the share does not find a bottom there for the time being, the next support zone would be just under €75.
