Wynn Blasts Constraints

16 May 2005

Las Vegas Sun

Las Vegas casino owner Steve Wynn said the administration's direct involvement in designing Singapore's casino project was "unsophisticated" and could compromise the final product, a local newspaper reported Saturday.

"It's control and direction by people who've never done this before," the Business Times newspaper quoted Wynn as saying. "There's an awful lot of control and direction in the documents we've received which, frankly speaking, is unsophisticated."

Wynn Resorts are among the companies who have expressed interest in developing two casinos in Singapore.

Singapore's government listed specific design-related issues for the casino project, including the total amount of floor space the gambling arena should have.

"Don't issue thunderbolts of wisdom from the top of Mount Olympus," added Wynn. "Ultimately, this is not between me and the government, it's between me and the public."
