With Wynn Resorts still heavy into its development stage, analysts' expectations don't mean as much, apparently. Shares of Wynn Resorts were trading at $77.80 Wednesday afternoon, up nearly $3.00 on the day.
Construction for the second phase of Wynn Macau is ongoing and will include more casino and retail space, including two more restaurants and a theater. As well, work is ongoing for Encore, the $1.74-billion, 2,042-room second phase of Wynn Las Vegas.
Operating income from Wynn Las Vegas, which opened in April 2005, grew to $22.4 million in the third quarter from $21.9 million in the same 2005 quarter. Wynn cited increased casino and hotel revenue and better performance by its nightclub.
