| Organization and Basis of Presentation | 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 September 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 condensed 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 nine months ended September 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. |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with purchase maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 72% 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. 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. In June 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, this adjustment benefitted operating income and net loss by $9.6 million. 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, retail 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 $10.9 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, these taxes totaled $29.3 million and $34.1 million, respectively. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs the first time the advertising takes place and such costs are primarily included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs totaled $4.6 million for both of the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Advertising costs totaled $14.3 million and $10.8 million, for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $4.2 million and $6 million, respectively, in share based compensation with a corresponding credit to contributed capital. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that is intended to simplify the guidance for testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The update allows for the consideration of qualitative factors in determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment tests. The effective date for this update is for the annual, and interim impairment tests performed for years beginning after September 15, 2012. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

5 3/8% Wynn Las Vegas First Mortgage Notes On March 12, 2012, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (together the “Issuers”) issued, in a private offering, $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. In October 2012, the Issuers commenced an offer to exchange all of the 2022 Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The exchange offer closed on November 6, 2012. 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. As described in Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Elaine Wynn has submitted a cross claim against Steve Wynn and Kazuo Okada. The indentures for the 2022 Notes and Existing Notes (the “Indentures”) 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. 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 rank pari passu in right of payment with 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”). On September 17, 2012, the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement was terminated as discussed below, and in accordance with the respective indentures, the liens on the assets of Wynn Las Vegas and its subsidiaries securing, and the subsidiary guarantees of, the 2022 Notes and the Existing Notes were released. The 2022 Notes and the Existing Notes are unsecured, except by a pledge of the equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, granted by its parent, Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC, and are not guaranteed by any of the Wynn Las Vegas subsidiaries. Wynn Las Vegas Revolving Credit Facilities On March 12, 2012, Wynn Las Vegas entered into an eighth amendment (“Amendment No. 8”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2006 (as amended, the “Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 8 amended 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, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC prepaid all term loans under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement, terminated all of its revolving credit commitments that were due to expire in 2013, and 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. On September 17, 2012, Wynn Las Vegas terminated the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. No loans were outstanding under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement at the time of termination. Prior to such termination, certain letters of credit in which lenders had participated pursuant to the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement were reallocated to a separate, unsecured letter of credit facility provided by Deutsche Bank, A.G. Wynn Las Vegas did not incur any early termination penalties related to the termination. In connection with the termination, the Company expensed $2 million of previously deferred financing costs and third party fees related to the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. Debt Covenant Compliance As of September 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 September 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 $3.4 billion and $2.4 billion at September 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 September 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. |

|
| Interest Rate Swap | 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 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 did 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. |

| Related Party Transactions | 8. Related Party Transactions Amounts Due to Affiliates, net As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s current due to affiliates was primarily comprised of construction payables of approximately $4.3 million, construction retention of approximately $0.3 million and other net amounts due to affiliates totaling $23.8 million (including corporate allocations discussed below). The long-term due to affiliates is management fees of $140.5 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 September 30, 2012 and 2011, $6.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively, were charged to the Company for such corporate allocations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, $20.4 million and $20.2 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. |

| Commitments and Contingencies | 10. Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation in addition to the actions noted below arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 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 an 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 and has refused to participate in the training all other directors have received concerning these 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 persons” under Article VII of 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 (under Nevada corporation law, a board of directors does not have the power to remove a director) 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., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts. Based on the Board of Directors’ finding of “unsuitability,” on February 18, 2012, Wynn Resorts redeemed and cancelled Aruze USA, Inc.’s 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts’ common stock. Following a finding of “unsuitability,” Article VII of 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 Note to Aruze USA, Inc. in redemption of the shares. The Redemption 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 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 Note. In no instance shall any payment obligation under the Redemption 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 Note is and shall be subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Redemption 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. After authorizing the redemption of the Aruze USA, Inc. shares, the Board of Directors took certain actions to protect Wynn Resorts and its operations from any influence of an unsuitable person, including placing limitations on the provision of certain operating information to unsuitable persons, evaluating whether to seek the removal of Mr. Okada from Wynn Resorts’ Board of Directors, and formation of an Executive Committee of the Board to manage the business and affairs of Wynn Resorts during the period between each annual meeting. The Charter of the Executive Committee provides that “Unsuitable Persons” are not permitted to serve on the Committee. All members of the Board, other than Mr. Okada, were appointed to the Executive Committee on February 18, 2012. On February 19, 2012, Wynn Resorts filed a complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court, 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 Wynn Resorts’ General Counsel. 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. On March 29, 2012, Wynn Resorts filed a motion to remand the action to state court and requested an extension to answer the denial of Wynn Resorts’ claims and the Okada Parties’ counterclaims. The federal district court granted the Wynn Resorts’ motion to remand and awarded Wynn Resorts its related attorneys’ fees. This case is now pending in the state court, which has determined that this action will be coordinated with Mr. Okada’s inspection action (discussed below). The Okada Parties filed a notice of intent to commence a separate federal securities action for the securities counterclaims previously asserted, but have not done so as of the date of this report. On June 19, 2012, Elaine Wynn responded to the Okada Parties’ 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, Inc., 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. Mr. Wynn filed his answer to Elaine Wynn’s cross claim on September 24, 2012. The indentures for the Wynn Las Vegas, LLC 2022 Notes and Existing Notes (the “Indentures”) 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 Wynn Resorts’ debt documents. Under the Indentures, the occurrence of a change of control requires that Wynn Resorts 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. 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 appropriate regulators and law enforcement agencies and is cooperating with related investigations that such regulators and agencies have undertaken. 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 Company 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. The Executive Committee continues to monitor such investigations and may decide at some future point to call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of removing Mr. Okada, if it considers such action to be desirable and in the best interests of Wynn Resorts and its stockholders. On August 28, 2012, Mr. Okada, Universal Entertainment Corporation and Okada Holdings filed a complaint in Tokyo District Court against Wynn Resorts, all members of the Board (other than Mr. Okada) and Wynn Resorts’ General Counsel, alleging that the press release issued by Wynn Resorts with respect to the redemption has damaged plaintiffs’ social evaluation and credibility. The plaintiffs seek damages and legal fees from the defendants. On August 31, 2012, Wynn Resorts received a letter from Aruze USA, Inc. purportedly notifying Wynn Resorts of its intent to nominate two individuals for election as directors pursuant to Section 2.13 of Wynn Resorts’ Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws. Section 2.13 provides for nominations by stockholders. As a result of the Board’s determination on February 18, 2012, that all of Mr. Okada, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal are “unsuitable persons” as defined in the Articles of Incorporation of Wynn Resorts, and the subsequent redemption of all shares previously owned by Aruze USA, Inc., Wynn Resorts believes that Aruze USA, Inc. is not eligible to make such nominations. On October 19, 2012, Aruze USA, Inc. publicly announced that it is terminating its efforts to elect such nominees. On August 31, 2012, Aruze USA, Inc. filed a motion for preliminary injunction with the state court in Nevada. The motion sought a preliminary injunction that would prohibit Wynn Resorts from barring or preventing Aruze USA, Inc. from exercising rights as a stockholder and an order that its purported nominees be presented to Wynn Resorts’ stockholders and voted on (including by Aruze USA, Inc. as a stockholder) at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (scheduled for November 2, 2012). At the conclusion of a hearing held on October 2, 2012, the Nevada state court denied Aruze USA, Inc.’s motion for preliminary injunction. On October 19, 2012, Aruze USA, Inc. filed a notice of appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court. Wynn Resorts intends to vigorously defend against the appeal and to argue that the Nevada Supreme Court should affirm the state court’s decision. On September 7, 2012, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corporation filed a second amended counterclaim in the Nevada state court. Wynn Resorts and the other counter-defendants filed a motion to dismiss that pleading on September 26, 2012. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for November 13, 2012. In addition, on October 10, 2012, Mr. Okada filed a motion to dismiss the complaint that Wynn Resorts filed in Nevada state court in February 2012. Wynn Resorts filed an amended complaint on October 29, 2012. Litigation Commenced by Kazuo Okada and Related Matters On January 11, 2012, Mr. Okada, in his role as a Wynn Resorts’ director, commenced a writ proceeding in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, seeking to compel Wynn Resorts to produce certain books and records relating to a donation to the University of Macau, among other things. 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. 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. 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, which took place on September 18, 2012. Following Mr. Okada’s deposition, the parties each submitted supplemental briefs. Following a hearing held on October 2, 2012, the court ruled that Mr. Okada is entitled to review certain additional Company documents from the 2000 to 2002 time period. Wynn Resorts has complied with the court’s ruling. On November 2, 2012, Mr. Okada filed a motion to compel the production of additional documents and to depose a Wynn Resorts representative. A hearing on this motion is scheduled for November 8, 2012. Related litigation Six derivative actions were 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 federal actions brought by the following plaintiffs have been consolidated: (1) The Louisiana Municipal Police Employees’ Retirement System, (2) Maryanne Solak, (3) Excavators Union Local 731 Welfare Fund, and (4) Boilermakers Lodge No. 154 Retirement Fund (collectively, the “Federal Plaintiffs”). The Federal Plaintiffs 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 Wynn Resorts and all Wynn Resorts’ directors, including Mr. Okada, however, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Mr. Okada as a defendant in this consolidated action on September 27, 2012. The Federal 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, Inc.’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. The directors responded to the consolidated complaint by filing a motion to dismiss on September 14, 2012. On October 15, 2012, the Federal Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss, and the directors filed reply papers on November 5, 2012. The two state court actions brought by the following plaintiffs have also been consolidated: (1) IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund and (2) Danny Hinson (collectively, the “State Plaintiffs”). 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 State Plaintiffs 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 Wynn Resorts and all Wynn Resorts’ directors, including Mr. Okada, as well as Wynn Resorts’ Chief Financial Officer, who signs financial disclosures filed with the SEC. The State Plaintiffs claim that the individual defendants failed to disclose to Wynn Resorts stockholders the investigation into, and the dispute with director Okada as well as the alleged potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) related to, the University of Macau Development Foundation donation. The State Plaintiffs seek unspecified 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. The parties have entered into a stipulation providing for a stay of the state derivative action for 90 days, subject to the parties’ obligation to monitor the progress of the pending litigation, discussed above, between Wynn Resorts (among others) and Mr. Okada (among others). Per the stipulation, Wynn Resorts and the individual defendants will not be required to respond to the consolidated complaint while the stay remains in effect. The state court entered the stipulation on October 25, 2012. The consolidated actions are in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. |

| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with purchase maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk | 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 72% 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. 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. In June 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, this adjustment benefitted operating income and net loss by $9.6 million. |

| Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances | 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, retail 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):

These taxes totaled $10.9 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, these taxes totaled $29.3 million and $34.1 million, respectively. |

| Stock-Based Compensation | 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $4.2 million and $6 million, respectively, in share based compensation with a corresponding credit to contributed capital. |

The update allows for the consideration of qualitative factors in determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment tests. The effective date for this update is for the annual, and interim impairment tests performed for years beginning after September 15, 2012. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
