Wynn Resorts operates luxury casino resorts in Las Vegas (Wynn Las Vegas, Encore), Boston (Encore Boston Harbor), and Macau (Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau), with a new property under construction in the UAE's Ras Al Khaimah emirate targeting an early 2027 opening. The company derives over half its revenue from non-US markets, making Macau gaming trends and currency dynamics critical drivers. Today's rebound follows the company's first official response to a cyberattack by the ShinyHunters group, which stole employee records but reportedly deleted the data after Wynn activated incident response protocols.
