Steve Wynn returns to Las Vegas as Wynn Resorts posts strong first quarter

Steve Wynn flew from Sun Hill Ranch Airport in rural California to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 21, a 29-minute hop in his Gulfstream G700 (N88WR). The short flight from the high desert to the Strip marks another arrival in a city he helped build but no longer controls.

The same week, Wynn Resorts reported a strong first quarter — including the best March in the property's history, per 8newsnow.com. Revenues increased 5.9% and earnings rose 4.1% compared to the first quarter of 2025. CEO Craig Billings attributed the gains to luxury retail sales, a 10% year-over-year increase in RevPAR, and the recent openings of Sartiano's Italian Steakhouse and the exclusive Zero Bond club at Wynn Las Vegas. While Steve Wynn sold his entire $2.1B stake in 2018 amid misconduct allegations he denies, the company he founded continues to thrive.

The flight follows a pattern of frequent shuttling between Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Texas seen in recent weeks. N88WR crisscrossed the West in June, making multiple trips between KLAS, Los Angeles-area airports, and Fort Worth. Wynn's Gulfstream G700 is based in Palm Beach, but Las Vegas remains a recurring destination.
