During the Wynn Resorts earnings call on Wednesday, CEO Matt Maddox announced that the company would be spending $100 million in order to upgrade the Wynn Macau, the older of the two resorts owned by the company in the territory.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will include reinvigorating our regional casino, building two new restaurants there, taking out a lot of the exterior junket space that\u2019s not productive and making that a vibrant atmosphere,\u201d Maddox said during the call. \u201cWe are also going to remodel our Encore rooms.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAccording to Maddox, the plan is to spend money in ways that he hopes can directly work on attracting new customers and keeping them at the Wynn Macau properties for longer.<\/p>\n
That includes some improvements to Wynn Palace as well. Maddox said that the company is working on developing two new \u201crestaurant concepts\u201d for the resort, and was also considering how to use 11 acres of spare land that are adjacent to the property.<\/p>\n
One interesting possibility could see Wynn finding ways to work alongside Galaxy Entertainment Group in Macau or other international markets. Galaxy acquired a 4.9 percent stake in Wynn Resorts in March.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that as international jurisdictions open up we could potentially work together to jointly examine those,\u201d said Maddox. \u201cWe certainly haven\u2019t made any agreements to do that, but our operating styles and philosophies are very similar and it\u2019s something that could potentially be a value to both companies in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
