WYNN LAS VEGAS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

(A WHOLLY OWNED INDIRECT SUBSIDIARY OF WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Wynn Las Vegas, LLC was formed on April 17, 2001 as a Nevada limited liability company. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company” refer to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The sole member of the Company is Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). The sole member of Holdings is Wynn Resorts, Limited (“Wynn Resorts”). The Company was organized primarily to construct and operate “Wynn Las Vegas,” a destination resort and casino on the “Strip” in Las Vegas, Nevada. Wynn Las Vegas opened on April 28, 2005. On December 22, 2008, the Company expanded Wynn Las Vegas with the opening of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (“Encore”).

Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (“Wynn Capital”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated on June 3, 2002, solely for the purpose of obtaining financing for Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Capital is authorized to issue 2,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01. At June 30, 2012, the Company owned the one share that was issued and outstanding. Wynn Capital has neither any significant net assets nor has had any operating activity. Its sole function is to serve as the co-issuer of the mortgage notes described below. Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Capital together are hereinafter referred to as the “Issuers”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s investment in the 50%-owned joint venture operating the Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership inside Wynn Las Vegas is accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the previous periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues credit in the form of “markers” to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 70% and 75% respectively, of the Company’s markers were due from customers residing in foreign countries, primarily in Asia. Business or economic conditions or other significant events in these countries could affect the collectibility of such receivables.

 

6


Table of Contents

Accounts receivable, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Company’s receivables to their estimated carrying amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific review of customer accounts as well as management’s experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an adjustment to its reserve estimates for casino accounts receivable based on the results of historical collection patterns and current collection trends. This adjustment benefitted operating income and net loss by $9.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. This change in estimate was the primary factor that resulted in a $0.3 million credit to the provision for doubtful accounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Inventories

Inventories consist of retail, food and beverage items, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value, and certain operating supplies. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, average and specific identification methods.

Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances

Casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in the customers’ possession. Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized when services are performed. Entertainment, retail and other revenue includes rental income which is recognized on a time proportion basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognized when the right to receive such rental income is established according to the lease agreements. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenues until services are provided to the customer.

Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives which are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Consequently, the Company’s casino revenues are reduced by discounts and points earned in the players club loyalty program.

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances is primarily included in casino expenses as follows (amounts in thousands):

Gaming Taxes

The Company is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues, subject to applicable adjustments. These gaming taxes are an assessment on the Company’s gaming revenues and are recorded as an expense within the “Casino” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. These taxes totaled $7.4 million and $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, these taxes totaled $18.4 million and $25.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs the first time the advertising takes place and such costs are included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs totaled $5.8 million and $3.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising costs totaled $9.7 million and $6.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation related to equity shares of Wynn Resorts granted to its employees by recognizing the costs of the employee services received in exchange for the equity award instrument based on the grant date fair value of the awards over the service period. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $2.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in share based compensation with a corresponding credit to contributed capital.

3. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

Interest paid for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $92.4 million and $99.8 million, respectively. There was no interest capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures include a decrease of $6.2 million and $6.7 million respectively, in construction payables and retention recorded through amounts due to affiliates.

5 3/8% Wynn Las Vegas First Mortgage Notes

On March 12, 2012, the Issuers issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “2022” Indenture). A portion of the proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Wynn Las Vegas term loan facilities.

The 2022 Notes will mature on March 15, 2022 and bear interest at the rate of 5 3/8% per annum. The Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2017, at a premium decreasing ratably to zero, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to March 15, 2015, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes with the net proceeds of one or more qualified equity contributions made to the Issuers by their parent, Wynn Resorts, Limited. If the Issuers undergo a change of control, they must offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Issuers sell certain assets or suffer an event of loss, and the Issuers do not use the sale or insurance proceeds for specified purposes, they must offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2022 Notes are also subject to mandatory redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of gaming authorities in Nevada.

The 2022 Notes are the Issuers’ senior secured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities and the Issuers’ outstanding 7 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), the 7 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2020 (“7 7/8% 2020 Notes”) and the 7 3/4% First Mortgage Notes due 2020 (the “7 3/4% 2020 Notes” and, together with the 2017 Notes and the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The 2022 Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis (with certain exceptions) by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Issuers’ existing and future assets, and, subject to gaming approval, a first priority pledge of the Company’s equity interests, all of which is the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC Credit Facilities and the Existing Notes. The first priority lien securing the 2022 Notes may be released in whole, or in part, under certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of the 2022 Notes, including if the liens on any such collateral are released either upon a termination of the credit facilities or otherwise.

Table of Contents

The 2022 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of the Issuers’ subsidiaries except Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC (the “Guarantors”). The guarantees of the 2022 Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Guarantors’ assets, the same collateral that secures the guarantees under the Company’s credit facilities and the Existing Notes. The guarantees of the 2022 Notes will be released if the guarantees of our credit facilities are released.

The 2022 Indenture contains covenants limiting the Issuers’ and the Issuers’ restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: pay dividends or distributions or repurchase equity; incur additional debt; make investments; create liens on assets to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; issue stock of, or member’s interests in, subsidiaries; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; engage in other businesses; merge or consolidate with another company; transfer and sell assets; issue disqualified stock; create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

The 2022 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under any state securities laws. Therefore, the Issuers may not offer or sell the notes within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Wynn Las Vegas Revolving Credit Facilities

On March 12, 2012, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC entered into an eighth amendment (“Amendment No. 8”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 8 amends the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the issuance of the 2022 Notes. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, the Company has prepaid all term loans under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement, has terminated all of its revolving credit commitments that were due to expire in 2013, and has terminated all but $100 million of its revolving credit commitments expiring in 2015. In connection with this transaction, the Company expensed deferred financing fees of $4.8 million; all related to the Wynn Las Vegas term loan and revolving credit facilities.

As of June 30, 2012, no amounts had been borrowed under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. Wynn Las Vegas, LLC had $15.8 million of outstanding letters of credit that reduce availability for borrowing under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. Wynn Las Vegas, LLC had availability of $84.2 million under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2012.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of June 30, 2012, management believes the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Fair Value of Long-term Debt

The net book value of the Company’s outstanding first mortgage notes was approximately $3.1 billion and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding first mortgage notes, based upon the most recent trades (using level 2 inputs), was approximately $3.3 billion and $2.4 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The net book value of the Company’s other debt instruments was approximately $34.7 million and $406.2 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s other debt instruments was approximately $34.7 million and $400 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

7. Interest Rate Swap

In June 2012, the Company terminated its only outstanding interest rate swap for a payment of $2.4 million. The Company had entered into floating-for-fixed interest rate swap arrangements in order to manage interest rate risk relating to certain of its debt facilities. These interest rate swap agreements modified the Company’s

Table of Contents

exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps essentially fixed the interest rate at the percentages noted below; however, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for each reporting period have been recorded as an increase (decrease) in swap fair value in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, as the interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company measured the fair value of its interest rate swaps on a recurring basis pursuant to accounting standards for fair value measurements. These standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company categorizes these interest rate swaps as Level 2.

The Company’s interest rate swap agreement intended to hedge a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities. Under this swap agreement, the Company paid a fixed interest rate of 2.485% on borrowings of $250 million incurred under the Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fixed the interest rate on $250 million of borrowings at approximately 5.485%. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of this interest rate swap was a current liability of $4.6 million.

8. Related Party Transactions

Amounts Due to Affiliates, net

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s current Due to affiliates was primarily comprised of construction payables of approximately $3.4 million, construction retention of approximately $0.6 million and other net amounts due to affiliates totaling $35.3 million (including corporate allocations discussed below). The long-term Due to affiliates is management fees of $134.7 million (equal to 1.5% of net revenues and payable upon meeting certain leverage ratios as specified in the documents governing the Company’s credit facilities and the first mortgage notes indentures).

As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s current Due to affiliates was primarily comprised of construction payables of approximately $8.4 million, construction retention of approximately $1.7 million and other net amounts due to affiliates totaling $31 million (including corporate allocations discussed below). The long-term Due to affiliates is management fees of $124 million.

The Company periodically settles amounts due to affiliates with cash receipts and payments, except for the management fee, which is payable upon meeting certain leverage ratios specified in the documents governing the first mortgage notes and the credit facilities.

Corporate Allocations

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss include allocations from Wynn Resorts for legal, accounting, human resources, information services, real estate, and other corporate support services. The corporate support service allocations have been determined on a basis that Wynn Resorts and the Company consider to be reasonable estimates of the utilization of service provided or the benefit received by the Company. Wynn Resorts maintains corporate offices at Wynn Las Vegas without charge from the Company. The Company settles these corporate allocation charges with Wynn Resorts on a periodic basis as discussed in “Amounts Due to Affiliates, net” above. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $7.1 million and $8 million, respectively, were charged to the Company for such corporate allocations. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $13.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, were charged to the Company for such corporate allocations.

Due to Officers

The Company periodically provides services to Stephen A. Wynn, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and one of the principal stockholders of Wynn Resorts (“Mr. Wynn”), and certain other executive officers and directors of Wynn Resorts, including household services, construction work and other personal services. The cost of these services is transferred to Wynn Resorts on a periodic basis. Mr. Wynn and these other officers and directors have amounts on deposit with Wynn Resorts to prepay any such items, which are replenished on an ongoing basis as needed.

Villa Suite Lease

On March 18, 2010, Mr. Wynn and Wynn Las Vegas entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease (the “SW Lease”) for a villa suite to serve as Mr. Wynn’s personal residence. The SW Lease amends and restates a prior lease. The SW Lease was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The term of the SW Lease commenced as of March 1, 2010 and runs concurrent with Mr. Wynn’s employment agreement with the Company; provided that either party may terminate on 90 days notice. Pursuant to the SW Lease, the rental value of the villa suite is treated as imputed income to Mr. Wynn, and is equal to the fair market value of the accommodations provided. Effective March 1, 2010, and for the first two years of the term of the SW Lease, the rental value was $503,831 per year. Effective March 1, 2012, the rental value is $440,000 per year based on the current fair market value as established by the Audit Committee of the Company with the assistance of an independent third-party appraisal. The rental value for the villa suite will be re-determined every two years during the term of the lease by the Audit Committee, with the assistance of an independent third-party appraisal. Certain services for, and maintenance of, the villa suite, as well as minimal warehouse space are included in the rental.

The “Wynn” Surname Rights Agreement

On August 6, 2004, Holdings entered into agreements with Mr. Wynn that confirm and clarify Holding’s rights to use the “Wynn” name and Mr. Wynn’s persona in connection with casino resorts. Under the parties’ Surname Rights Agreement, Mr. Wynn granted Holdings an exclusive, fully paid-up, perpetual, worldwide license to use, and to own and register trademarks and service marks incorporating the “Wynn” name for casino resorts and related businesses, together with the right to sublicense the name and marks to its affiliates. Under the parties’ Rights of Publicity License, Mr. Wynn granted Holdings the exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right to use his full name, persona and related rights of publicity for casino resorts and related businesses, together with the ability to sublicense the persona and publicity rights to its affiliates, until October 24, 2017. Holdings has sub-licensed rights to the “Wynn” name, persona and marks to the Company.

9. Property Charges and Other

Property charges and other for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Property charges and other for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $5.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Property charges generally include costs related to the retirement of assets for remodels and asset abandonments. Property charges and other for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, related to miscellaneous renovations and abandonments at Wynn Las Vegas.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Matters Related to Wynn Resorts, Limited

Determination of Unsuitability and Redemption of Aruze USA, Inc. and Affiliates and Related Matters

On February 18, 2012, Wynn Resorts’ Gaming Compliance Committee concluded a year-long investigation after receiving an independent report by Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP (the “Freeh Report”) detailing a pattern of misconduct by Aruze USA, Inc., at the time a stockholder of Wynn Resorts, Universal Entertainment Corporation, Aruze USA, Inc.’s parent company, and Kazuo Okada, the majority shareholder of Universal Entertainment Corporation, who is also a member of Wynn Resorts’ Board of Directors and was at the time a director of Wynn Macau, Limited. The factual record presented in the Freeh Report included evidence that Aruze USA, Inc., Universal Entertainment Corporation and Mr. Okada had provided valuable items to certain foreign gaming officials who were responsible for regulating gaming in a jurisdiction in which entities controlled by Mr. Okada were developing a gaming resort. Mr. Okada has denied the impropriety of such conduct to members of the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts and Mr. Okada has refused to acknowledge or abide by Wynn Resorts’ anti-bribery policies.

Based on the Freeh Report, the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts determined that Aruze USA, Inc., Universal Entertainment Corporation and Mr. Okada are “unsuitable” under Article VII of the Wynn Resorts articles of incorporation. The Board of Directors was unanimous (other than Mr. Okada) in its determination. The Board of Directors also requested that Mr. Okada resign as a director of Wynn Resorts and recommended that Mr. Okada be removed as a member of the board of directors of Wynn Macau, Limited. In addition, on February 18, 2012, Mr. Okada was removed from the board of directors of Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts.

Based on the Board of Directors’ finding of “unsuitability,” on February 18, 2012, Wynn Resorts redeemed and canceled Aruze USA, Inc.’s 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts’ common stock. Following a finding of “unsuitability,” Wynn Resorts’ articles of incorporation authorize redemption at “fair value” of the shares held by unsuitable persons. Wynn Resorts engaged an independent financial advisor to assist in the fair value calculation and concluded that a discount to the then current trading price was appropriate because of, among other things, restrictions on most of the shares held by Aruze USA, Inc. under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below). Pursuant to the articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the Redemption Price Promissory Note to Aruze USA, Inc. in redemption of the shares. The Redemption Price Promissory Note has a principal amount of $1.94 billion, matures on February 18, 2022 and bears interest at the rate of 2% per annum, payable annually in arrears on each anniversary of the date of the Redemption Price Promissory Note. Wynn Resorts may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time, and without penalty or premium, prepay the whole or any portion of the principal or interest due under the Redemption Price Promissory Note. In no instance shall any payment obligation under the Redemption Price Promissory Note be accelerated except in the sole and absolute discretion of Wynn Resorts or as specifically mandated by law. The indebtedness evidenced by the Redemption Price Promissory Note is and shall be subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Redemption Price Promissory Note, to the prior payment in full of all existing and future obligations of Wynn Resorts or any of its affiliates in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind or nature.

On February 19, 2012, Wynn Resorts filed a complaint in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada against Mr. Okada, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation, companies controlled by Mr. Okada (the “Okada Parties”), alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims. Wynn Resorts is seeking compensatory and special damages as well as a declaration that it acted lawfully and in full compliance with its articles of incorporation, bylaws and other governing documents. On March 12, 2012, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. On that same date, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation filed an answer denying the claims and a counterclaim that purports to assert claims against Wynn Resorts, each of the members of Wynn Resorts’ Board of Directors (other than Mr. Okada) and a senior executive of Wynn Resorts. Among other relief, the counterclaim seeks a declaration that the redemption of Aruze USA, Inc.’s shares was void, an

injunction restoring Aruze USA, Inc.’s share ownership, damages in an unspecified amount and rescission of the Stockholders Agreement. Wynn Resorts’ claim of February 19, 2012, was removed to federal court by the Okada Parties. On March 29, 2012, Wynn Resorts filed a motion to remand the action to state court and to request an extension to answer. The motion to remand was granted and Wynn Resorts’ request for related attorneys’ fees is fully briefed and pending. When the Court rules on the pending fee motion, the case will be sent back to the state court, which has determined that this action will be coordinated with Mr. Okada’s inspection action (discussed below). The Okada Parties have filed a notice of intent to commence a separate federal securities action for the securities counterclaims previously asserted.

On June 19, 2012, Elaine Wynn responded to Aruze USA’s Counterclaim and asserted a cross claim against Steve Wynn and Kazuo Okada seeking a declaration that (1) any and all of Elaine Wynn’s duties under the January 2010 Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) by and among Aruze USA, Steve Wynn, and Elaine Wynn be discharged; (2) the Stockholders Agreement is subject to rescission and is rescinded; (3) the Stockholders Agreement is an unreasonable restraint on alienation in violation of public policy; and/or (4) the restrictions on sale of shares shall be construed as inapplicable to Elaine Wynn. By agreement of the parties, Mr. Wynn’s response to the cross claim is due within 14 days once the final order of remand is entered. The indentures for the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC 2022 Notes and Existing Notes (the “Indentures”) and the Credit Agreement provide that if Steve Wynn, together with certain related parties, in the aggregate beneficially owns a lesser percentage of the outstanding common stock of Wynn Resorts than are beneficially owned by any other person, a change of control will have occurred. If Elaine Wynn prevails in her cross claim, Steve Wynn would not beneficially own or control Elaine Wynn’s shares and a change in control may result under the Company’s debt documents. Under the Indentures, the occurrence of a change of control requires that the Company make an offer (unless the notes have been previously called for redemption) to each holder to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase. Under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement, the occurrence of these same events would constitute a change of control, which would be an event of default and would give the lenders the right to accelerate repayment, and would prevent Wynn Las Vegas from borrowing additional amounts. In addition, if more than $20,000,000 in borrowings are accelerated under the Credit Agreement, that would trigger an event of default under the Indentures.

On February 24, 2012, the board of directors of Wynn Macau, Limited removed Mr. Kazuo Okada from the board.

Wynn Resorts provided the Freeh Report to applicable regulators and law enforcement agencies and intends to cooperate with any related investigation that such regulators or agencies may undertake. The conduct of the Okada Parties and any resulting regulatory investigations could have adverse consequences to Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries. A finding by regulatory authorities that Mr. Okada violated anti-corruption statutes and/or other laws or regulations applicable to persons affiliated with a gaming licensee on Wynn Resorts’ property and/or otherwise involved Wynn Resorts in criminal or civil violations could result in actions by regulatory authorities against Wynn Resorts. Relatedly, as described below the Salt Lake Regional Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has commenced an informal inquiry into, and other regulators could pursue separate investigations into, Wynn Resorts’ compliance with applicable laws arising from the allegations in the matters described above and in response to litigation filed by Mr. Okada suggesting improprieties in connection with Wynn Resorts’ donation to the University of Macau. While Wynn Resorts believes that it is in full compliance with all applicable laws, any such investigations could result in actions by regulators against Wynn Resorts.

Litigation Commenced by Kazuo Okada and Related Matters

On January 11, 2012, Mr. Okada commenced litigation in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada seeking to compel Wynn Resorts to produce information relating to a donation to the University of Macau, among other things.

Table of Contents

In May 2011, Wynn Macau, a majority owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, made a commitment to the University of Macau Development Foundation in support of the new Asia-Pacific Academy of Economics and Management. This contribution consists of a $25 million payment made in May 2011 and a commitment for additional donations of $10 million each year for the calendar years 2012 through 2022 inclusive. The pledge was consistent with Wynn Resorts’ long-standing practice of providing philanthropic support for deserving institutions in the markets in which it operates. The pledge was made following an extensive analysis which concluded that the gift was made in accordance with all applicable laws. The pledge was considered by the boards of directors of both Wynn Resorts and Wynn Macau, Limited and approved by 15 of the 16 directors who serve on those boards. The sole dissenting vote was cast by Mr. Kazuo Okada whose stated objection was to the length of time over which the donation would occur, not its propriety.

On February 8, 2012, following Mr. Okada’s lawsuit, Wynn Resorts received a letter from the Salt Lake Regional Office of the SEC requesting that, in connection with an informal inquiry by the SEC, Wynn Resorts preserve information relating to the donation to the University of Macau, any donations by Wynn Resorts to any other educational charitable institutions, including the University of Macau Development Foundation, and Wynn Resorts’ casino or concession gaming licenses or renewals in Macau. Wynn Resorts is cooperating with the Salt Lake Regional Office staff and intends to fully comply with the SEC’s request.

At a hearing on February 9, 2012, the Nevada state court held that, as a director of Wynn Resorts, Mr. Okada had the right to make a reasonable inspection of Wynn Resorts’ corporate books and records. Following the hearing, Wynn Resorts released certain documents to Mr. Okada for his inspection. At a subsequent hearing on March 8, 2012, the court considered Mr. Okada’s request that Wynn Resorts’ Board of Directors make additional documents available to him, and ruled that Mr. Okada was entitled to inspect two additional pages of documents. Wynn Resorts promptly complied with the court’s ruling.

On May 25, 2012, Mr. Okada amended his petition to request inspection of additional records. The Nevada state court ordered Mr. Okada to file a supplemental brief addressing how his requests relate to his duties as a director of Wynn Resorts, and Wynn Resorts was to respond by filing a supplemental brief on the reasonableness of Mr. Okada’s requests. After Mr. Okada filed his supplemental brief, Wynn Resorts moved to depose Mr. Okada prior to having to file its supplemental brief. At a hearing on June 28, 2012, the state court ordered Mr. Okada to appear for a deposition in Las Vegas, Nevada. The parties are currently scheduling the deposition for a September 2012 date.

Related litigation

Six derivative actions have been commenced against Wynn Resorts and all members of its Board of Directors: four in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, and two in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada.

The four pending federal actions have been consolidated: (1) The Louisiana Municipal Police Employees’ Retirement System (“LMPERS”), (2) Maryanne Solak, (3) Excavators Union Local 731 Welfare Fund; and (4) Boilermakers Lodge No. 154 Retirement Fund.

The plaintiffs in the federal derivative actions filed a consolidated complaint on August 6, 2012, asserting claims for (1) breach of fiduciary duty; (2) waste of corporate assets; (3) injunctive relief; and (4) unjust enrichment. The claims are against all Wynn Resorts’ directors, including Mr. Okada. The federal derivative plaintiffs claim that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and wasted assets by (a) failing to ensure Wynn Resorts’ officers and directors complied with federal and state laws and Wynn Resorts’ Code of Conduct; (b) voting to allow Wynn Resorts’ subsidiary to make the donation to the University of Macau; and (c) redeeming Aruze USA’s stock such that Wynn Resorts incurs the debt associated with the redemption. The federal plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages, restitution in the form of disgorgement, reformation of corporate governance procedures, an injunction against all future payments related to the donation/pledge, and all

fees (attorneys, accountants, and experts) and costs. Per the court’s July 5, 2012 Case Management Order, the parties are to confer regarding a deadline for Wynn Resorts and the directors to respond.

The two state court actions have also been consolidated: (1) IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund; and (2) Danny Hinson. Through a coordination of efforts by all parties, the directors and Wynn Resorts (a nominal defendant) have been served in all of the actions.

The plaintiffs in the state derivative actions filed a consolidated complaint on July 20, 2012 asserting claims for (1) breach of fiduciary duty; (2) abuse of control; (3) gross mismanagement; and (4) unjust enrichment. The claims are against all Wynn Resorts directors, including Okada, as well as Wynn Resorts’ Chief Financial Officer, who signs financial disclosures filed with the SEC. The state derivative plaintiffs claim that the individual defendants failed to disclose to its shareholders the investigation into, and the dispute with director Okada as well as the potential violations of the FCPA related to, the University of Macau Development Foundation donation. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages (compensatory and punitive), disgorgement, reformation of corporate governance procedures, an order directing Wynn Resorts to internally investigate the donation, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. Wynn Resorts and individual defendants will respond to the consolidated complaint by August 31, 2012.

11. Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

The following consolidating information relates to the Issuers of the First Mortgage Notes and their guarantor subsidiaries (World Travel, LLC; Las Vegas Jet, LLC; Wynn Show Performers, LLC; Wynn Golf, LLC; Kevyn, LLC; and Wynn Sunrise, LLC) and non-guarantor subsidiary (Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC) as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

The following condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in the provided form because: (i) the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (an issuer of the First Mortgage Notes), and (ii) the guarantee is joint and several, however the guarantee is not full and unconditional as the guarantees may be released under certain circumstances customary for such arrangements. If the Issuers fail to make a scheduled payment, the guarantor subsidiaries are obligated to make the scheduled payment immediately and, if it does not, any holder of the First Mortgage Notes may immediately bring suit directly against the guarantor subsidiaries for payment of all amounts due and payable.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” or similar terms, refer to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements relating to our business strategy and development activities as well as other capital spending, financing sources, the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulations), expectations concerning future operations, margins, profitability and competition. Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

 

   

adverse tourism trends given the current domestic and international economic conditions;

 

   

volatility and weakness in world-wide credit and financial markets and from governmental intervention in the financial markets;

 

   

general global macroeconomic conditions;

 

   

decreases in levels of travel, leisure and consumer spending;

 

   

continued high unemployment;

 

   

fluctuations in occupancy rates and average daily room rates;

 

   

continued compliance with all provisions in our credit agreements;

 

   

competition in the casino/hotel and resort industries and actions taken by our competitors;

 

   

new development and construction activities of competitors;

 

   

our dependence on Stephen A. Wynn and existing management;

 

   

our dependence on Wynn Las Vegas for all of our cash flow;

 

   

leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates);

 

   

changes in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws;

 

   

changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in certain jurisdictions);

 

   

approvals under applicable jurisdictional laws and regulations (including gaming laws and regulations);

 

   

cyber security risk including misappropriation of customer information or other breaches of information security;

 

   

the impact that an outbreak of an infectious disease or the impact of a natural disaster may have on the travel and leisure industry;

 

   

the consequences of the military conflicts in the Middle East and any future security alerts and/or terrorist attacks; and

 

   

pending or future legal proceedings.

Table of Contents

Further information on potential factors that could affect our financial condition, results of operations and business are included in this report and our other filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

Overview

We are a developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. We currently own and operate Wynn Las Vegas, a destination casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, which opened on April 28, 2005. In December 2008, we expanded Wynn Las Vegas with the opening of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas, located at the intersection of the Las Vegas Strip and Sands Avenue, occupies approximately 217 acres of land fronting the Las Vegas Strip, utilizes approximately 18 additional acres across Sands Avenue, a portion of which is improved with an employee parking garage and approximately 5 acres adjacent to the golf course on which an office building is located.

Our Las Vegas resort complex features:

 

   

Approximately 186,000 square feet of casino space, offering 24-hour gaming and a full range of games, including private gaming salons, a sky casino, a poker room, and a race and sports book;

 

   

Two luxury hotel towers with a total of 4,750 spacious hotel rooms, suites and villas;

 

   

35 food and beverage outlets featuring signature chefs;

 

   

A Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership;

 

   

Approximately 94,000 square feet of high-end, brand-name retail shopping, including stores and boutiques by Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Graff, Hermes, Loro Piana, Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik, Oscar de la Renta, Vertu and others;

 

   

Recreation and leisure facilities, including an 18-hole golf course, swimming pools, private cabanas and two full service spas and salons;

 

   

Two showrooms; and

 

   

Three nightclubs and a beach club.

Construction and Future Development

In response to our evaluation of our property and the reactions of our guests, we have and expect to continue to remodel and make enhancements and refinements to our resort complex.

Approximately 142 acres of land immediately adjacent to Wynn Las Vegas is currently improved with a golf course. While we may develop this property in the future; due to the current economic environment and certain restrictions in our credit facilities, we have no immediate plans to develop this property.

Results of Operations

We offer gaming, hotel accommodations, dining, entertainment, retail shopping, convention services and other amenities at Wynn Las Vegas and Encore. We currently rely solely upon the operations of this resort complex for our operating cash flow. Concentration of our cash flow in one resort complex exposes us to certain risks that competitors, whose operations are more diversified, may be better able to control. In addition to the concentration of operations in a single resort complex, many of our customers are premium gaming customers who wager on credit, thus exposing us to credit risk. High-end gaming also increases the potential for variability in our results.

Table of Contents

We recorded a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of $53.2 million, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily a result of decreased departmental profits, especially in the casino department ($57.3 million) where we experienced lower than normal table games win and hold, significantly lower than that achieved in the prior year quarter. We also recorded a loss on retirement of debt of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to an amendment of our bank credit facilities. See below for a more detailed discussion regarding our results.

Certain key operating statistics specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussions of the Company’s operational performance for the periods in which a Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is presented. Below are definitions of the statistics discussed:

 

   

Table games win is the amount of drop that is retained and recorded as casino revenue.

 

   

Drop is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table’s drop box.

Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, are composed of $98.6 million in casino revenues (28.5% of total net revenues) and $247.1 million of net non-casino revenues (71.5% of total net revenues).

Our table games win percentage (before discounts) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was 15.0%, which was below the expected range of 21% to 24%; and was significantly lower than the 27.6% experienced in the prior year quarter. Drop increased $40.9 million (7.6%) to $575.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $534.7 million in the prior year quarter. Slot machine handle increased $22.2 million (3.2%) to $707.8 million compared to $685.6 million in the prior year quarter; however slot machine win of $40.5 million was flat compared to the prior year quarter.

We experienced an increase in ADR during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, and a decrease in occupancy rate of 1.6 percentage points. ADR has increased as we adjusted rates in an effort to attract customers who would take advantage of all aspects of our resort.

Food and beverage revenues increased primarily due to business in our beach club and nightclubs. Retail revenues decreased as we reconfigured the Encore retail area and are in the process of rebranding several retail outlets. Entertainment revenues decreased over the prior year quarter primarily due to a loss of revenues from the Sinatra “Dance with Me” show, which ended its run on April 23, 2011.

Food and beverage expenses increased over prior year quarter primarily due to additional nightclub promotional costs. General and administrative expenses increased over the prior year quarter primarily due to higher advertising costs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an adjustment to our reserve estimates for casino accounts receivable based on the results of historical collection patterns and current collection trends. This change in estimate was the primary factor that resulted in a $0.3 million credit to the provision for doubtful accounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Management fees

Since opening Wynn Las Vegas, management fees payable to Wynn Resorts for certain corporate management services have been charged and accrued at a rate equal to 1.5% of net revenues. These fees will be paid upon meeting certain leverage ratios and satisfying certain other criteria set forth in our credit facilities and the first mortgage notes indentures. Management fees were $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

increased approximately $8.2 million primarily due to the issuance of the $900 million 5 3/8% first mortgage notes in March 2012, offset by the reduction of $370.9 million in term loan borrowings as described in Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements.

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase (decrease) in swap fair value in each period. We recorded a gain of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap during this period. In June 2012, we terminated the interest rate swap for a payment of $2.4 million. We recorded a gain of $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap from March 31, 2011 to June 30, 2011.

In connection with this transaction, we expensed deferred financing fees of $4.8 million.

resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap during this period. In June 2012, we terminated the interest rate swap for a payment of $2.4 million. We recorded a gain of approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

On March 12, 2012, we entered into an eighth amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement”). In connection with this amendment we prepaid all term loans under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement, terminated all of our revolving credit commitments that were due to expire in 2013, and terminated all but $100 million of our revolving credit commitments expiring in 2015. In connection with this transaction, we expensed deferred financing fees of $4.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow from Operations

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of our operating income generated by our resort complex (excluding depreciation and other non-cash charges), interest paid, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium international customers that gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail, and other revenue is conducted primarily on a cash basis or as a trade receivable. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivables.

Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was $73.7 million compared to $137.6 million provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in operating income as a result of decreased casino department profitability offset by beneficial changes in working capital.

Capital Resources

At June 30, 2012, we had $771.9 million of cash and cash equivalents available for use without restriction, including for operations, debt service and retirement, new development activities, enhancements to Wynn Las Vegas and general corporate purposes. Our cash balance increased as a result of the issuance of the $900 million first mortgage notes in March 2012. We require a certain amount of cash on hand for operations. We anticipate such funds, together with any additional borrowings and cash generated from operations will satisfy our liquidity needs during 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we had $84.2 million available to draw under our Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities. Except for scheduled quarterly payments on one note payable, we have no debt maturities until July 2017.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were approximately $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and related primarily to general property maintenance. Capital expenditures were approximately $34.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and related primarily to the room and suite remodel that began in 2010.

Financing Activities

On March 12, 2012, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (together the “Issuers”) issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “2022 Indenture). A portion of the proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under our term loan facilities.

Table of Contents

The 2022 Notes will mature on March 15, 2022 and bear interest at the rate of 5 3/8% per annum. The Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2017, at a premium decreasing ratably to zero, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to March 15, 2015, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes with the net proceeds of one or more qualified equity contributions made to the Issuers by their parent, Wynn Resorts, Limited. The 2022 Notes are also subject to mandatory redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of gaming authorities in Nevada.

The 2022 Notes are the Issuers’ senior secured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities (the “Wynn Las Vegas, LLC Credit Facilities”) and the Issuers’ outstanding 7 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), the 7 7/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2020 (“7 7/8% 2020 Notes”) and the 7 3/4% First Mortgage Notes due 2020 (the “7 3/4% 2020 Notes” and, together with the 2017 Notes and the 7 7/8% 2020 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The 2022 Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis (with certain exceptions) by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Issuers’ existing and future assets, and, subject to gaming approval, a first priority pledge of our equity interests, all of which is the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC Credit Facilities and the Existing Notes. The first priority lien securing the 2022 Notes may be released in whole, or in part, under certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of the 2022 Notes, including if the liens on any such collateral are released either upon a termination of the credit facilities or otherwise.

The 2022 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of the Issuers’ subsidiaries except Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC (the “Guarantors”). The guarantees of the 2022 Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Guarantors’ assets, the same collateral that secures the guarantees under the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC Credit Facilities and the Existing Notes. The guarantees of the 2022 Notes will be released if the guarantees of our credit facilities are released.

The 2022 Indenture contains covenants limiting the Issuers’ and the Issuers’ restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: pay dividends or distributions or repurchase equity; incur additional debt; make investments; create liens on assets to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; issue stock of, or member’s interests in, subsidiaries; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; engage in other businesses; merge or consolidate with another company; transfer and sell assets; issue disqualified stock; create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

On March 12, 2012, we entered into an eighth amendment (“Amendment No. 8”) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 8 amends the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the issuance of the 2022 Notes. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, we prepaid all term loans under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement, terminated all of our revolving credit commitments that were due to expire in 2013, and terminated all but $100 million of our revolving credit commitments expiring in 2015. In connection with this transaction, we expensed deferred financing fees of $4.8 million.

As of June 30, 2012, no amounts had been borrowed under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. We had $15.8 million of outstanding letters of credit that reduce availability for borrowing under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. We had availability of $84.2 million under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2012.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As noted above, in March 2012, we issued the 2022 Notes, repaid all amounts outstanding under the term loan facilities totaling $370.9 million and reduced our revolving facilities to $100 million. In June 2012, the Wynn Las Vegas interest rate swap was terminated as described herein. There have been no other material changes during the quarter to our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Other Liquidity Matters

We are restricted under the indentures governing the Existing Notes and the 2022 Notes from making certain “restricted payments” as defined in the indentures. These restricted payments include the payments of dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect holders of equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. These restricted payments may not be made until certain other financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement contains similar restrictions.

We intend to fund our operations and capital requirements from cash on hand, operating cash flow and availability under our credit facilities. We cannot be sure that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings that are available to us, if any, will be sufficient to enable us to service and repay our indebtedness and to fund our other liquidity needs. We cannot be sure that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all. Certain legal matters may also impact our liquidity. See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 10 — “Commitments and Contingencies”.

New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in Las Vegas, as well as other domestic or international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any other development would require us to obtain additional financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes to these policies for the six months ended June  30, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risks

Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, and in the past by using hedging activities. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations. We do not use derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Swap

In June 2012, we terminated our only outstanding interest rate swap agreement for a payment of $2.4 million. This interest rate swap was intended to hedge a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. Under this swap agreement, we paid a fixed interest rate of 2.485% on borrowings of $250 million incurred under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fixed the interest rate on $250 million of borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement at approximately 5.485%. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap prior to termination were recorded as an increase (decrease) in swap fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as the swap did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of June 30, 2012 our long-term debt was essentially based on fixed rates, including the notional amount of our swap.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A description of our risk factors can be found in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Except as noted below, there were no material changes to those risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our information technology and other systems are subject to cyber security risk including misappropriation of customer information or other breaches of information security.

We rely on information technology and other systems to maintain and transmit customer financial information, credit card settlements, credit card funds transmissions, mailing lists and reservations information. In addition, our financial and recordkeeping processes are run from one central location at a secured off site Network Operations Center. We have substantially completed the implementation of industry best practice systems that are designed to meet all requirements of the Payment Card Industry standards for data protection, however, our information and processes are exposed to the ever-changing threat of compromised security, in the form of a risk of potential breach, system failure, computer virus, or unauthorized or fraudulent use by customers, company employees, or employees of third party vendors. The steps we take to deter and mitigate these risks may not be successful, and any resulting compromise or loss of data or systems could adversely impact operations or regulatory compliance and could result in remedial expenses, fines, litigation, and loss of reputation, potentially impacting our financial results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Restrictions imposed by our debt instruments significantly restrict us, subject to certain exceptions for payment of allocable corporate overhead, from declaring or paying dividends or distributions. Specifically, we are restricted under the indentures governing the Existing Notes and the 2022 Notes from making certain “restricted payments” as defined therein. These restricted payments include the payment of dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect holders of our membership interests. These restricted payments may not be made until certain other financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied. In addition, our credit facilities contain similar restrictions.

As of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all prior employment agreements (including, but not limited to, the Prior Agreement), change in control agreements and severance plans or agreements, whether written or oral, by and between Employee, on the one side, and Employer or any of Employer’s Affiliates, on the other side, or under which Employee is a participant.

The foregoing notwithstanding, Employee shall devote such time to Employer or its Affiliates as may be required by Employer, provided such duties are not inconsistent with Employee’s primary duties to Employer hereunder.

4. ACCEPTANCE OF EMPLOYMENT. Employee hereby unconditionally accepts the employment set forth hereunder, under the terms and pursuant to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Employee hereby covenants and agrees that, during the Term, Employee will devote the whole of Employee’s normal and customary working time and best efforts solely to the performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement and that, except upon Employer’s prior express written authorization to that effect, Employee shall not perform any services for any casino, hotel/casino or other similar gaming or gambling operation not owned by Employer or any of Employer’s Affiliates.

5. TERM. Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall consist of three years commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and terminating on the third Anniversary of the Effective Date at which time the terms of this Agreement shall expire and shall not apply to any continued employment of Employee by Employer, except for those obligations under Paragraphs 9 and 10. Following the Term, unless the parties enter into a new written contract of employment, (a) any continued employment of Employee shall be at-will, (b) any or all of the other terms and conditions of Employee’s employment may be changed by Employer at its discretion, with or without notice, and (c) the employment relationship may be terminated at any time by either party, with or without cause or notice.

Concurrent with Employee’s resignation from Employer or upon the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee agrees to resign, and shall be deemed to have resigned, all other positions (including but not limited to board of director memberships) that Employee may have held immediately prior to Employee’s resignation or termination.

6. SPECIAL TERMINATION PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, this Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) the death of Employee;

(b) the giving of written notice from Employer to Employee of the termination of this Agreement upon the Complete Disability of Employee;

(c) the giving of written notice by Employer to Employee of the termination of this Agreement upon the discharge of Employee for Cause (Employer’s right to terminate for Cause (as defined in Section 1(c) shall survive the expiration of this Agreement);

(d) the giving of written notice by Employer to Employee of the termination of this Agreement following a disapproval of this Agreement or the denial, suspension, limitation or revocation of Employee’s License (as defined in Subsection 8(b) of this Agreement);

(e) the giving of written notice by Employee to Employer upon a material breach of this Agreement by Employer, which material breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. “Material breach” under this Section 6(e) shall not be construed to include temporary suspension of the Employee from duty, pursuant to Employer’s policy, pending investigation by Employer of any incident or occurrence that could give rise to discipline or termination of employment; or

(f) the giving of written two week notice by Employer to Employee of Employer’s intention to terminate this Agreement Without Cause for any reason deemed sufficient by Employer at the end of such two week period. During such two week notice period, Employer shall be permitted to reduce Employee’s responsibilities and time commitment to Employer; provided however, Employer may not reduce Employee’s salary or benefits during such two-week period. At the end of such two week period, Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Employer and this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Upon receipt of such notice, Employee shall have the option to resign Employee’s employment effective as of the date of the notice, rather than remain employed through such two week period. If Employee elects to resign in lieu of termination, Employee must exercise this option in writing within 72 hours of receipt of the Employer’s notice of intention to terminate the Agreement Without Cause. Employee’s written resignation in lieu of termination must be transmitted to Employer by email or hand delivery. In the event Employee

 

4


elects to resign pursuant to this Section 6(f), Employer’s sole liability to Employee shall be continued payment of Employee’s Base Salary for 12 months from the effective date of resignation calculated at the rate in force on the effective date of termination, and paid according to the usual payroll schedule in force for all employees of Employer less deductions of all applicable taxes and withholdings.

In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 6(a), (b), (c), or (d), Employer shall not be required to make any payments to Employee other than payment of Base Salary and vacation pay accrued but unpaid and expenses incurred but not reimbursed through the termination date; specifically, in such event, Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits pursuant to any severance plan in effect by Employer or any of its Affiliates.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the decision as to whether “Cause” exists for termination of the employment relationship by Employer is delegated to the Employer’s President. If Employee disagrees with the decision reached by Employer’s President, any dispute as to the “Cause” determination will be limited to whether Employer’s President reached his/her decision in good faith, based upon facts reasonably believed by Employer’s President to be true, and not for any arbitrary, capricious or illegal reason,. This shall be the standard applied by any fact finder, and Employee shall bear the burden to prove that “Cause,” under this standard, did not exist.

7. COMPENSATION TO EMPLOYEE. For and in complete consideration of Employee’s full and faithful performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement, Employer hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Employee, and Employee hereby covenants and agrees to accept from Employer, the following items of compensation:

(a) Base Salary.

Employee shall be subject to performance reviews and the Base Salary may be increased but not decreased as a result of any such review. Such Base Salary shall be exclusive of and in addition to any other benefits which Employer, in its sole discretion, may make available to Employee, including, but not limited to, any discretionary bonus, profit sharing plan, pension plan, retirement plan, disability or life insurance plan, medical and/or hospitalization plan, or any and all other benefit plans which may be in effect during the Term.

(c) Employee Benefit Plans. Employer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall include Employee, if otherwise eligible, in any profit sharing plan, pension plan, retirement plan, disability or life insurance plan, medical and/or hospitalization plan, and any other benefit plan which may be placed in effect by Employer or any of its Affiliates and generally available to Employer’s employees during the Term. All issues as to eligibility for specific benefits and payment of benefits shall be as set forth in the applicable insurance policies or plan documents. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Employer’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to exercise the discretion provided to it under any employee benefit plan, or to adopt, amend or terminate any benefit plan at any time.

(d) Expense Reimbursement. During the Term and provided the same are authorized in advance by Employer, Employer shall either pay directly or reimburse Employee for Employee’s reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of Employer in accordance with Employer’s general policy regarding expense reimbursement, as the same may be modified from time to time. Prior to such payment or reimbursement, Employee shall provide Employer with sufficient detailed invoices of such expenses as may be required by Employer’s policy.

(e) Original Hire Date. Employee’s Original Hire Date shall be used for determining vacation and other benefits.

 

5


(f) Vacations and Holidays. Commencing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to (i) annual paid vacation leave in accordance with Employer’s standard policy, but in no event less than three weeks each year of the Term, to be taken at such times as selected by Employee and approved by Employer, and (ii) paid holidays (or, at Employer’s option, an equivalent number of paid days off) in accordance with Employer’s standard policy.

Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree to use their best efforts to obtain any and all approvals required by the Gaming Acts and/or Gaming Regulations. In the event that (i) an approval of this Agreement or Employee’s employment by the Authorities is required for Employee to carry out Employee’s duties and responsibilities set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, (ii) Employer and Employee have used their best efforts to obtain such approval, and (iii) this Agreement or employee’s employment is not so approved by the Authorities, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate and shall be null and void, thus extinguishing any and all obligations of Employer.

(b) If applicable, Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that, in order for Employee to discharge the duties required under this Agreement, Employee must apply for or hold a license, registration, permit or other approval (the “License”) as issued by the Authorities pursuant to the terms of the relevant Gaming Act and as otherwise required by this Agreement. In the event Employee fails to apply for and secure, or the Authorities refuse to issue or renew Employee’s License, Employee, at Employer’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly defend such action and shall take such reasonable steps as may be required to either remove the objections or secure or reinstate the Authorities’ approval, respectively. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the source of the objections or the Authorities’ refusal to renew or maintain Employee’s License arise as a result of any of the events described in Subsection 1(c) of this Agreement, then Employer’s obligations under this Section 8 also shall not be operative and Employee shall promptly reimburse Employer upon demand for any expenses incurred by Employer pursuant to this Section 8.

(c) Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that the provisions of this Section 8 shall apply in the event Employee’s duties require that Employee also be licensed by governmental agencies other than the Authorities.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY.

(a) Employee hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that Employee shall not directly or indirectly use or disclose any Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, or Works of Authorship, whether in written, verbal, electronic, or model form, at any time or in any manner, except as required in the conduct of Employer’s business or as expressly authorized by Employer in writing. Employee shall take all necessary and available

 

6


precautions to protect against the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, or Works of Authorship. Employee acknowledges and agrees that such Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, or Works of Authorship are the sole and exclusive property of Employer or its Affiliate.

(b) Employee shall not remove from Employer’s premises any Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, Works of Authorship, or any other documents pertaining to Employer’s or its Affiliate’s business, unless expressly authorized by Employer in writing. Furthermore, Employee specifically covenants and agrees not to make any duplicates, copies, or reconstructions of such materials and that, if any such duplicates, copies, or reconstructions are made, they shall become the property of Employer or its Affiliate upon their creation.

(c) Upon termination of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason, Employee shall turn over to Employer the originals and all copies of any and all papers, documents and things, including information stored for use in or with computers and software, all files, Rolodex cards, phone books, notes, price lists, customer contracts, bids, customer lists, notebooks, books, memoranda, drawings, computer disks or drives, or other documents: (i) made, compiled by, or delivered to Employee concerning any customer served by Employer or its Affiliate or any product, apparatus, or process manufactured, used, developed or investigated by Employer; (ii) containing any Confidential Information, Trade Secret or Work of Authorship; or (iii) otherwise relating to Employee’s performance of duties under this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that all such documents are the sole and exclusive property of Employer or its Affiliate.

(d) Employee hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that Employee shall not disclose to Employer, or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee or agent of Employer, any proprietary or confidential information or property, including but not limited to any trade secret, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process, which Employee is prohibited by contract, or otherwise, to disclose to Employer (the “Restricted Information”). In the event Employer requests Restricted Information from Employee, Employee shall advise Employer that the information requested is Restricted Information and may not be disclosed by Employee.

(e) The obligations of this Section 9 are continuing and shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason.

10. RESTRICTIVE COVENANT/NO SOLICITATION.

(a) Employee hereby covenants and agrees that during the Term, or for such period as Employer continues to employ or compensate Employee (including, but not limited to payments made pursuant to Section 6(f)), whichever is longer, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, partner, member of a limited liability company, shareholder of a closely held corporation, or shareholder in excess of two percent (2%) of a publicly traded corporation, corporate officer or director, manager, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or otherwise participate in any manner or fashion in any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the principal business activity of Employer or its Affiliates, in or about any market in which Employer or its Affiliates currently operate or have announced, publicly or otherwise, a plan to have hotel or gaming operations.

(b) Employee hereby further covenants and agrees that, during the Term and for a period of one (1) year following the expiration of the Term, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any management level employee of Employer or its Affiliates with or on behalf of any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the principal business activity of Employer or its Affiliates, in or about any market in which Employer or its Affiliates operate have publicly announced, publicly or otherwise, a plan to have hotel or gaming operations.

(c) Employee hereby further covenants and agrees that the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 10 are reasonable as to duration, terms and geographical area and that they protect the legitimate interests of Employer, impose no undue hardship on Employee, and are not injurious to the public. In the

 

7


event that any of the restrictions and limitations contained in this Section 10 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by Nevada law, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction shall revise any offending provisions so as to bring this Section 10 within the maximum time, geographical or other limitations permitted by Nevada law.

11. REMEDIES. Employee acknowledges that Employer has and will continue to deliver, provide and expose Employee to certain knowledge, information, practices, and procedures possessed or developed by or for Employer at a considerable investment of time and expense, which are protected as confidential and which are essential for carrying out Employer’s business in a highly competitive market. Employee also acknowledges that Employee will be exposed to Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, Works of Authorship, inventions and business relationships possessed or developed by or for Employer or its Affiliates, and that Employer or its Affiliates would be irreparably harmed if Employee were to improperly use or disclose such items to competitors, potential competitors or other parties. Employee further acknowledges that the protection of Employer’s and its Affiliates’ customers and businesses is essential, and understands and agrees that Employer’s and its Affiliates’ relationships with its customers and its employees are special and unique and have required a considerable investment of time and funds to develop, and that any loss of or damage to any such relationship will result in irreparable harm. Consequently, Employee covenants and agrees that any violation by Employee of Section 9 or 10 shall entitle Employer to immediate injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Employee further agrees that no cause of action for recovery of materials or for breach of any of Employee’s representations, warranties or covenants shall accrue until Employer or its Affiliate has actual notice of such breach.

12. BEST EVIDENCE. This Agreement shall be executed in original and “Xerox” or photostatic copies and each copy bearing original signatures in ink shall be deemed an original.

13. SUCCESSION. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employer and Employee and their respective successors and assigns.

14. ASSIGNMENT. Employee shall not assign this Agreement or delegate Employee’s duties hereunder without the express written prior consent of Employer thereto. Any purported assignment by Employee in violation of this Section 14 shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Employer shall have the right to assign this Agreement freely, including without limitation Employee’s obligations under Section 10, and Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of consideration in exchange for Employee’s consent to the assignability of Employee’s obligations under Section 10 that is additional to and separate from the consideration provided to Employee exchange for the other covenants in this Agreement.

15. AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, changed or altered except by a writing signed by both Employer and Employee.

16. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Except for a claim by either Employee or Employer for injunctive relief where such would be otherwise authorized by law to enforce Sections 9, 10 and/or 11 of this Agreement, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach hereof, or Employee’s employment by Employer, including without limitation any claim involving the interpretation or application of this Agreement, or claims for wrongful termination, discrimination, or other claims based upon statutory or common law, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the employment arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration (“AAA”), to the extent not inconsistent with this Section as set forth below. This Section 21 applies to any claim Employee might have against any officer, director, employee, or agent of Employer or its Affiliate, and all successors and assigns of any of them. These arbitration provisions shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer and the expiration of the Agreement.

(a) Coverage of Arbitration Agreement: The promises by Employer and Employee to arbitrate differences, rather than litigate them before courts or other bodies, provide consideration for each other, in addition to other consideration provided under the Agreement. The parties contemplate by this Section 21 arbitration of all clams against each of them to the fullest extent permitted by law except as specifically excluded by this Agreement. Only claims that are justiciable or arguably justiciable under applicable federal, state or local law are covered by this Section, and include, without limitation, any and all alleged violations of any federal, state or local law whether common law, statutory, arising under regulation or ordinance, or any other law, brought by any current or former employee. Such claims may include, but are not limited to, claims for: wages or other compensation; breach of contract; torts; work-related injury claims not covered under workers’ compensation laws; wrongful discharge; and any and all unlawful employment discrimination and/or harassment claims. This Section 21 excludes claims under state workers’ compensation or unemployment compensation statutes; claims pertaining to any of Employer’s employee welfare, insurance, benefit, and pension plans, with respect to which are applicable the filing and appeal procedures of such plans shall apply to any denial of benefits; and claims for injunctive or equitable relief for violations of non-competition and/or confidentiality agreements in Sections 9, 10 and 11.

(b) Waiver of Rights to Pursue Claims in Court and to Jury Trial: This Section 21 does not in any manner waive any rights or remedies available under applicable statutes or common law, but does waive Employer’s and Employee’s rights to pursue those rights and remedies in a judicial forum and waive any right to trial by jury of any claims covered by this Section 21(a). By signing this Agreement, the parties voluntarily agree to arbitrate any covered claims against each other. In the event of any administrative or judicial action by any agency or third party to adjudicate, on behalf of Employee, a claim subject to arbitration, Employee hereby waives the right to participate in any monetary or other recovery obtained by such agency or third party in any such action, and Employee’s sole remedy with respect to any such claim will be any award decreed by an arbitrator pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Initiation of Arbitration: To commence arbitration of a claim subject to this Section 21, the aggrieved party must, within the time frame provided in Section 21(d) below, make written demand for arbitration and provide written notice of that demand to the other party. If a claim is brought by Employee against Employer, such notice shall be given to Employer’s Legal Department. Such written notice must identify and describe the nature of the claim, the supporting facts, and the relief or remedy sought. In the event that either party files an action in any court to pursue any of the claims covered by this Section 21, the complaint, petition or other initial pleading commencing such court action shall be considered the demand for arbitration. In such event, the other party may move that court to compel arbitration.

(d) Time Limit to Initiate Arbitration: To ensure timely resolution of disputes, Employee and Employer must initiate arbitration within the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) provided by applicable law pertaining to the claim, or one year, whichever is shorter, except that the statute of limitations imposed by relevant law will solely apply in circumstances where such statute of limitations cannot legally be shortened by private agreement. The failure to initiate arbitration within this time limit will bar any such claim. The parties understand that Employer and Employee are waiving any longer statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply, and any aggrieved party is encouraged to give written notice of any claim as soon as possible after the event(s) in dispute so that arbitration of any differences may take place promptly.

(e) Arbitrator Selection: The parties contemplate that, except as specifically set forth in this Section 21, selection of one (1) arbitrator shall take place pursuant to the then-current rules of the AAA applicable to employment disputes. The arbitrator must be either a retired judge or an attorney experienced in employment law. The parties will select one arbitrator from among a list of qualified neutral arbitrators provided by AAA. If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator, the parties will select an arbitrator by alternatively striking names from a list of qualified arbitrators provided by AAA. AAA will flip a coin to determine which party has the final strike (that is, when the list has been narrowed by striking to two arbitrators). The remaining named arbitrator will be selected.

(f) Arbitration Rights and Procedures: Employee may be represented by an attorney of his/her choice at his/her own expense. Any arbitration hearing or proceeding will take place in private, not open to the public, in Clark County, Nevada. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of Nevada (without regard to its choice of law provisions) and/or federal law when applicable. The arbitrator is without power or jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law or law of remedies or to modify any term or condition of this Agreement. The arbitrator will have no power or authority to award non-economic damages or punitive damages except where such relief is specifically authorized by an applicable federal, state or local statute or ordinance, or common law. In such a situation, the arbitrator shall specify in the award the specific statute or other basis under which such relief is granted. The applicable law with respect to privilege, including attorney-client privilege, work product, and offers to compromise must be followed. The parties will have the right to conduct reasonable discovery, including written and oral (deposition) discovery and to subpoena and/or request copies of records, documents and other relevant discoverable information consistent with the procedural rules of AAA. The arbitrator will decide disputes regarding the scope of discovery and will have authority to regulate the conduct of any hearing. The arbitrator will have the right to entertain a motion or request to dismiss, for summary judgment, or for other summary disposition. The parties will exchange witness lists at least 30 days prior to the hearing. The arbitrator will have subpoena power so that either Employee or Employer may summon witnesses. The arbitrator will use the Federal Rules of Evidence in connection with the admission of all evidence at the hearing. Both parties shall have the right to file post-hearing briefs. Any party, at its own expense, may arrange for and pay the cost of a court reporter to provide a stenographic record of the proceedings.

(g) Arbitrator’s Award: The arbitrator will issue a written decision containing the specific issues raised by the parties, the specific findings of fact, and the specific conclusions of law. The award will be rendered promptly, typically within 30 days after conclusion of the arbitration hearing, or after the submission of post-hearing briefs if requested. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to award any relief or remedy in excess of what a court could grant under applicable law. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on both parties. Judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.

 

10


(h) Fees and Expenses: Unless the law requires otherwise for a particular claim or claims, the party demanding arbitration bears the responsibility for payment of the fee to file with AAA and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be allocated by the AAA under its rules and procedures. Employee and Employer shall each pay his/her/its own expenses for presentation of their cases, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, costs, and fees for witnesses, photocopying and other preparation expenses. If any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorney’s fees and costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorney’s fees and/or costs to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim.

22. PAROL. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Employer and Employee, and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, undertakings or severance policies or plans by and between Employer or its Affiliates, on the one side, and Employee, on the other side, with respect to its subject matter or Employee’s employment with Employer or its Affiliates. As of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all prior employment agreements (including, but not limited to, any prior Employment Agreement), change in control agreements and severance plans or agreements, whether written or oral, by and between Employee, on the one side, and Employer or any of Employer’s Affiliates, on the other side, or under which Employee is a participant. From and after the Effective Date, Employee shall be employed by Employer under the terms and pursuant to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

23. FCPA COMPLIANCE. Employer advises Employee that the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) prohibits offering, providing, or promising anything of value (including money, preferential treatment, and any other sort of advantage), either directly or indirectly, by a United States company, or any of its employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, or agents, to an official of a foreign government, a foreign political party, party official, or candidate for foreign political office (or any family members of any of these real persons), for the purposes of influencing an act or decision in that individual’s official capacity, or inducing the official to use his or her influence with the foreign government to assist the United States company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or anyone else, in obtaining or retaining business. Employee understands that Employee may not directly or indirectly offer, promise, grant, or authorize the giving of money or anything else of value to a government official to influence official action or obtain an improper advantage. Employee understands that these legal restrictions apply fully to Employee with regard to Employee’s activities in the course of or in relation to Employee’s employment with Employer, regardless of Employee’s physical location. Employee represents and warrants that Employee will act in accordance with all applicable laws regarding anti-corruption, including the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, and all other state, federal, and international laws related to anti-corruption. Employee agrees that he or she will not take any action which would cause Employer to be in violation of the FCPA or any other applicable anti-corruption law, regulation, or Company policy or procedure. Employee further represents and warrants that Employee will know and understand, and act in accordance with, all Company policies and procedures related to anti-corruption and business conduct. Employee agrees to attend mandatory training compliance training. Employee undertakes to duly notify Employer if Employee becomes aware of any such violation of Company policies or procedures, or any other violation of law, committed by Employee or any other person or entity, and to indemnify Employer for any losses, damages, fines, and/or penalties which Employer may suffer or incur arising out of or incidental to any such violation committed by Employee.

Employee also represents and warrants that Employee will disclose to the Employer if Employee or any member of Employee’s family is an official of a foreign government or foreign political party, or is a candidate for foreign political office.

In case of breach of this provision, the Employer may suspend or terminate this Agreement at any time without notice or indemnity.
