ASSACHUSETTS -- As reported by the Boston Globe: "Las Vegas casino executive Steve Wynn has expressed interest for the first time in a possible casino deal in response to Governor Deval Patrick's proposal to legalize gambling in Massachusetts, joining a list of other suitors talking to the owners of Wonderland Park in Revere.
"Track owner Charlie Sarkis said Wynn called him about two weeks ago, asked for information about the property, and questioned him about the chance of the legislation passing.
"...Wynn is primarily interested in the Boston area and has looked at three or four other properties in the area, Sarkis said.
"...Wonderland has held casino discussions with a wide number of investors, including Donald Trump, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
