PR Newswire (US)
Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Diplo, Mau P, Hugel, Kaskade, ODESZA (DJ Set), SOFI TUKKER and More Alongside Hollywood Actor Rob Riggle*To download the video, click here.LAS VEGAS, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn Nightlife, Wynn Las Vegas' premier nightlife brand, releases "The Year of Excess," a cinematic short film conceived and produced entirely in-house. The film is an unfiltered embrace of the glamour, mayhem, and liveliness that makes Las Vegas legendary.
Narrated by Hollywood actor Rob Riggle, the film features 14 of the world's most sought after DJs inhabiting a world of indulgence across Wynn and Encore Las Vegas—alpacas on the golf course, workouts scaling the iconic rooftop, to champagne painted graffiti by an acclaimed artist, bath side caviar, and beyond. The short film features artists including Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Diplo, Mau P, Hugel, Kaskade, ODESZA (DJ Set), SOFI TUKKER and many more.The film emerges from a six month-long creative vision cultivated by the Wynn Nightlife creative marketing team. Conceptualized by Emilio Gonzales and Alex Schenberg, the work challenged the traditional residency announcement, elevating it into an innovative cinematic moment. "The Year of Excess" is the most expansive and daring expression of the philosophy — a world where glamour runs unchecked, ambition is amplified, and every moment feels larger than life."Wynn Nightlife has always believed that great entertainment speaks for itself. "The Year of Excess" is the purest expression of that belief, as a visual piece that celebrates our artists, our venues, and the city of Las Vegas," said Ryan Jones, Senior Vice President of Wynn Nightlife. "Whether it brings people through our doors or simply reminds them why Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else in the world, that's a win for all of us."Each artist scene channels the extravagance, vibrancy, and unapologetic energy that define Las Vegas at its most iconic, closing with the line, "Now go and be FABULOUS" a nod to the city's official tagline and a tribute to XS Nightclub, whose influence has defined the nightlife scene and continues to echo as it steps into its next chapter."Following the launch of the cinematic piece, we hope "The Year of Excess" creates a feeling; One that honors its venues, the artists who define them, the city that inspires everything and an invitation to experience what comes next," said Alex Schenberg, Creative Marketing of Wynn Nightlife.ABOUT WYNN NIGHTLIFE

Here's an analysis of how Donald Trump could potentially assist Steve Wynn, considering their past relationship and the political landscape:
Step-by-step explanation:
Public Endorsement: Trump could publicly endorse Wynn's return to the gaming industry. Such an endorsement could carry significant weight, especially with Trump's supporters and within the Republican Party, potentially influencing public opinion and the decisions of regulatory bodies.
Political Influence: While Trump is no longer in office, he remains a powerful figure in the Republican Party. He could use his influence to lobby Nevada officials, including Governor Lombardo, to support Wynn's reinstatement. This could involve direct communication or indirect pressure through allies and supporters.
Legal and Regulatory Advocacy: Although Trump's direct influence on Nevada's legal and regulatory processes is limited, he could use his platform to advocate for changes in the state's gaming regulations or to publicly criticize any obstacles to Wynn's return. This could create a favorable environment for Wynn.
Financial Support: Trump could provide financial support to Wynn, either directly or indirectly, through investments or endorsements of Wynn's ventures. This could help Wynn regain a foothold in the industry and demonstrate confidence in his return.
Networking and Connections: Trump could leverage his extensive network of contacts in the business and political worlds to connect Wynn with potential investors, partners, and influential individuals who could assist in his comeback.
Acknowledge the relationship: Steve Wynn has a history of donating to Donald Trump.
Assess Trump's influence: Trump remains a significant figure in the Republican Party and has a strong following.
Identify potential actions: Trump could use his public platform, political influence, and network to assist Wynn.
Consider the impact: These actions could influence public opinion, regulatory decisions, and financial support for Wynn.
In summary, Trump could assist Steve Wynn through public endorsements, political lobbying, advocacy for regulatory changes, financial support, and leveraging his network of contacts.
Here's an analysis of how Donald Trump could potentially assist Steve Wynn, and the role of Tilman Fertitta in such a scenario.
Potential Ways Trump Could Help Steve Wynn
Tilman Fertitta's Potential Role
Political Influence: Donald Trump, as a former President, still wields significant political influence, particularly within the Republican Party. He could use this influence to advocate for Wynn's reinstatement with Nevada officials, including Governor Lombardo.
Public Endorsement: A public endorsement from Trump could sway public opinion and potentially pressure regulators to reconsider Wynn's status. Trump's support could signal to the Nevada Gaming Commission that a favorable decision would be viewed positively by a powerful figure.
Networking and Connections: Trump has extensive connections within the business and political worlds. He could leverage these relationships to facilitate discussions, negotiations, or agreements that would benefit Wynn.
Legal and Regulatory Advocacy: While Trump's direct legal influence is limited, he could use his platform to criticize or question the fairness of Wynn's past treatment, potentially creating pressure for a reevaluation of the situation.
Step-by-step explanation
Business Relationship: Tilman Fertitta is a prominent businessman and owner of Landry's, Inc., and the Golden Nugget casinos. He has a history of business dealings and relationships within the gaming industry.
Industry Influence: Fertitta's position in the gaming industry could allow him to act as a mediator or advocate for Wynn. He could lobby on Wynn's behalf, leveraging his own relationships with regulators and industry leaders.
Financial Support: Fertitta could potentially provide financial support or investment to Wynn, which could strengthen Wynn's position and make his return to the industry more viable.
Shared Interests: Fertitta and Wynn share a common interest in the success of the gaming industry. Fertitta might see Wynn's return as beneficial to the industry as a whole, and therefore support his efforts.
Identify the Key Players: Donald Trump, Steve Wynn, Tilman Fertitta, Nevada Gaming Commission, and Governor Lombardo.
Assess Trump's Motivations: Political influence, public endorsement, networking, and legal advocacy.
Evaluate Fertitta's Potential Role: Business relationships, industry influence, financial support, and shared interests.
Consider the Regulatory Environment: The Nevada Gaming Commission's role in regulating the industry and the potential for political influence to affect their decisions.
Synthesize the Information: Trump could use his political influence and connections to support Wynn's return, while Fertitta could act as an industry advocate and potentially provide financial or business support.
In summary, Donald Trump could assist Steve Wynn through political influence, public endorsement, and leveraging his network. Tilman Fertitta, with his industry connections and business interests, could potentially support the process through advocacy, mediation, or financial backing.

Here's an analysis of the possibility of Tilman Fertitta buying out Wynn Resorts at $110 per share, based on available information.
Potential for a Wynn Resorts Buyout by Tilman Fertitta
Financial Considerations
Tilman Fertitta, as the largest individual shareholder of Wynn Resorts, has the potential to initiate a buyout. However, several factors would influence the feasibility of such a move, including financial capacity, regulatory hurdles, and the willingness of other shareholders.
Regulatory and Legal Aspects
Fertitta's ability to finance a buyout at $110 per share would be a primary determinant. This would involve assessing the total cost of acquiring all outstanding shares, considering Wynn Resorts' current market capitalization, and determining the availability of funding through debt, equity, or a combination of both.
The willingness of other shareholders to accept a $110 per share offer would be crucial. Institutional investors, who often hold significant stakes in publicly traded companies, would likely evaluate the offer based on their investment objectives and the perceived value of Wynn Resorts.
Shareholder Dynamics
A buyout of Wynn Resorts would be subject to regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions where Wynn operates, particularly in the gaming industry. These approvals could involve extensive due diligence and scrutiny of Fertitta's financial resources, business practices, and suitability to operate casinos.
Fertitta's Strategy and Intentions
The prevailing market conditions and the valuation of Wynn Resorts at the time of a potential offer would also play a role. Factors such as Wynn's financial performance, growth prospects, and the overall sentiment in the gaming industry would influence the attractiveness of the offer.
Market Conditions and Valuation
Conclusion
While Fertitta has increased his stake in Wynn Resorts, his long-term strategy and intentions remain subject to speculation. Whether he is primarily a passive investor or has more ambitious plans, such as a potential takeover, is a key factor.
Based on the available information, it is possible, but not guaranteed, that Tilman Fertitta could attempt to buy out Wynn Resorts at $110 per share. The feasibility of such a move would depend on financial capacity, regulatory approvals, shareholder dynamics, market conditions, and Fertitta's strategic intentions.

Casino Stock Wynn Resorts (WYNN) Blitzed by Bear Notes After Earnings
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | November 10, 2023
• No fewer than five analysts slashed their price targets on WYNN
• Wynn Resorts' Macau figures overshadowed a top-line beat for the third quarter
Casino stock Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) is down 8.6% to trade at $82.83, on track for its worst single-session drop since October 2022. While the company reported third-quarter earnings and revenue that topped expectations, analysts were more concerned about Wynn's Macau properties, which missed revenue estimates amid market headwinds in Asia. WYNN saw no fewer than five price-target cuts in response, with the lowest coming from Jefferies to $91 from $104.
Wynn Resorts stock is trading at its lowest level this year and is on track for its fourth-straight loss, as well as a fourth weekly drop in the last five. To boot, the security breached its year-to-date breakeven level today.
Drilling down to today's options activity, 15,000 calls and 17,000 puts have exchanged hands, volume that is 20 times the intraday average amount. Most popular is the January 2024 75-srike put, where new positions are being bought to open.
At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), WYNN sports a 50-day put/call volume ratio of 0.67 that ranks higher than 81% of annual readings. This means that while calls still outnumber puts on an absolute basis, the high percentile suggests traders have been more bearish than usual.

Options Traders Dancing to Wynn Resorts (WYNN) Stock's Bullish Beat
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | August 10, 2023
• Wynn's Las Vegas and Macau properties drove a second-quarter top-line beat
• A short squeeze could help WYNN overcome short-term chart pressure
Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) is up 3.5% to trade at $105.11 at last check, after the casino giant reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings and revenue. The company credited the strong results to its Las Vegas and Macau properties, which saw growing hotel bookings, gaming, and dining. In response, Jefferies and Citigroup lifted their price targets on WYNN to $118 and $132.50, respectively.
Despite the positive price action, the equity is yet to overcome recent pressure from the 40-day moving average, which emerged earlier this month. The $112 region also lingers above as a long-term ceiling, but year-to-date Wynn Resorts stock sports a healthy 28.2% lead.
Short sellers are hitting the exits, with short interest down 13.7% over the last two reporting periods. The 5.69 million shares sold short still make up 5.9% of the equity's available float, though, meaning there is still some pessimism left to unwind.
The options pits show a more bullish beat. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the stock's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 2.90 sits higher than 99% of readings from the past 12 months. This means long calls have been picked up at a much quicker-than-usual clip.
Drilling down to today's options activity, 10,000 calls and 5,703 puts have been exchanged, which is six times the intraday average volume. Most popular is the weekly 8/11 105-strike call.

Wynn Resorts: Is Now a Good Time to Trade the Stock?
By: Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan | June 22, 2023
When the stock market trends higher, it doesn't necessarily mean all stocks are moving higher. This is why it's necessary to have a method to filter through the day's market action and select stocks or securities to trade that have the potential for a decent return. And since each trader is different and each trading day is different, it's a good idea to develop various scans that identify securities to trade.
Once you've developed your scans, it's good to get in the habit of running a few of them every day. This can be for several reasons—are your scans still working the way they were designed? Are you getting very few results or too many results? Each day you run the scan, it produces different results, some of which may raise eyebrows. For example, on June 21, one of the stocks that came up in the StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) scan was Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN).
During the pandemic, casino stocks suffered, and those with exposure to Macau felt the pain for an even longer period. With China reopening, you'd expect casino stocks like WYNN to recover. But the general thought is that the recovery was priced in, and the stock is due for a pullback.
Earlier this month, Wynn was downgraded by a couple of analysts. So when the stock was one that popped up in the SCTR scan results list, it's worth focusing on the stock and analyzing it more closely.
The Big Picture: Analyzing the Leisure Industry
It may be worth doing a top-down analysis for WYNN stock. Let's start by looking at the hotel, restaurant, and leisure industry by analyzing the S&P 500 Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure Industry index ($GSPHRL). The weekly chart (click on the chart below for live version) shows that the index has been trending higher since October 2022. But it looks like it's reaching a high, which could be a resistance level for the industry. The question is whether the index will break to the upside and reach new highs.
CHART 1: STARTING FROM THE TOP. An analysis of the weekly chart of the S&P 500 Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry ($GSPHRL) shows that this group of stocks is trending higher. However, it is pretty close to its high. Will it bust through its highs and move higher?
Chart source: StockCharts.com (click on chart for live version). For educational purposes only.
The index is trading above its 50-, 100-, and 200-week simple moving average (SMA). For as long as people are spending more on discretionary items such as travel and leisure, this index could continue to move higher. But inflation is still a huge concern, and if consumers start cutting back on spending, this index could reverse quickly. So if you are considering investing in WYNN, analyzing $GSPHRL would be your starting point.
A Weekly Perspective of WYNN
Looking at the weekly chart of WYNN, you see that the stock has had its share of ups and downs. Although the stock has been trending higher since October 2022, it's had a tough time breaking above $116.90. Plus, there have been a series of lower highs since 2020.
Adding the 50-week and 100-week SMA to the weekly chart shows that the 50-week is crossing above the 100-week SMA. And that's after the stock has pulled back and bounced off its 200-week SMA. The SMA crossover and WYNN's stock bouncing off its 200-week SMA are positive signs.
CHART 2: WEEKLY CHART OF WYNN RESORTS. The stock looks to be trending higher but it has to reverse its lower highs pattern to move higher.

Don't Gamble on Wynn Resorts (WYNN) Stock This Month
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | June 7, 2023
• The casino stock has historically struggled in June
• There's plenty of optimism to be unwound
Shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) are reversing a rally off a pullback to the $95 region, last seen down 0.7% to trade at $102.04. For the quarter, the casino stock is down 8.7%, and history suggests that June may see the stock drop lower still.
In fact, according to data from Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, Wynn Resorts is the second worst stock on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) to own in June, looking back over the past 10 years. The shares averaged a loss of 4.3% for the month over the last decade, and finished the month lower eight times.
As for the brokerage bunch, there's plenty of optimism to be unwound. Of the nine analysts in coverage, six maintain a "strong buy" rating. Plus, the security is ripe for a round of price adjustments, given the 12-month consensus price target of $129.35 is a 26.5% premium to current levels.
A shift in the options pits could also weigh on WYNN. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), Wynn Resorts stock sports a 50-day call/put volume ratio of 2.64, which ranks higher than all readings from the past 12 months.
It's also worth noting that the 7.13 million shares sold short make up 7.4% of the stock's available float. It would take nearly three days for these traders to buy back their bearish bets.
