Steve Wynn flies to Las Vegas the week his gaming career officially ends

Steve Wynn flew from Belos Cavalos Airport in California to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on May 22, a short one-hour hop aboard his Gulfstream G700. The flight lands the same week that the Review-Journal [reviewjournal.com](https://www.reviewjournal.com/videos/steve-wynns-career-in-gaming-comes-to-an-end/) confirmed Wynn's gaming career has definitively ended, following his 2023 settlement with Nevada regulators and a $10 million fine.

The timing is poetic: Wynn, who built the modern Las Vegas Strip with resorts like the Mirage, Bellagio, and Wynn Las Vegas, now arrives in a city where his former company — Wynn Resorts — just reported its best March ever, per an AOL [aol.com](https://www.aol.com/news/luxury-market-treating-wynn-las-003316010.html) report. The company is in the midst of renovating the Encore tower and has opened exclusive new venues like Zero Bond and Sartiano’s.

This is a familiar pattern for Wynn, whose flight history shows near-weekly trips between Palm Beach and Las Vegas, often via California. Now 81, he remains a presence in the art and real estate worlds though formally barred from Nevada’s gaming industry. The G700 brought him home to a city he helped shape — but no longer owns a piece of.
