As described in Item 6, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA have entered into an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which neither Mr. Wynn nor Aruze USA (nor any of their respective permitted transferees) shall transfer, or permit any of their respective affiliates to transfer, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person without the prior written consent of both Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA. The Reporting Persons have not paid, and do not expect to pay, any additional consideration in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Stockholders Agreement.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The response set forth in Item 4 of Amendment No. 2 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Due to Mr. Wynn’s position as a principal stockholder of the Issuer and his rights under the Stockholders Agreement (pursuant to which he has designated a majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer), Mr. Wynn has the ability to exercise significant control over the board of directors, management and policies of the Issuer, including to maintain his position as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer.

At any time, the Reporting Persons, either acting independently or in concert with Aruze USA or other parties, may acquire or dispose of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, participate in discussions with the management of the Issuer or other stockholders of the Issuer, seek to amend the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or engage in other transactions with the purpose or effect of acquiring or influencing control over the Issuer. From time to time, the Reporting Persons and Aruze USA have discussed the possibility of acting in concert to acquire additional shares of Common Stock, and may engage in similar discussions in the future. The Reporting Persons’ decision to acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock, either alone or in concert with others, will

depend on a number of considerations, including the price and availability of the Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the business prospects of the Issuer, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations, regulatory approvals, available liquidity and other factors. Although the Reporting Persons may take certain actions described in this paragraph, neither of them has decided whether he or she will do so, and the future plans of the Reporting Persons are subject to change at any time.

In order to permit the possible acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock in the future, Mr. Wynn intends to file a pre-merger notification with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission. In addition, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA have requested an amendment to the Bylaws of the Issuer to exempt future acquisitions by either of Mr. Wynn or Aruze USA from Nevada’s control share acquisition statute.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the types of transactions set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

(b) Power to Vote and Dispose. The Reporting Persons possess the shared power to vote and dispose of 24,549,222 shares of Common Stock representing the Wynn Shares, subject to the Stockholders Agreement described in Item 6 below. As a result of the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons possess shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own, an additional 24,549,222 shares of Common Stock representing the Aruze Shares held by Aruze USA. In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, neither Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA (nor any of their respective permitted transferees) shall transfer, or permit any of their respective affiliates to transfer, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person without the prior written consent of both Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA have agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock for a slate of directors of the board of directors of the Issuer, a majority of which will be designated by Mr. Wynn, of which at least two will be independent directors, and the remaining members of which will be designated by Aruze USA.

In addition, under the Stockholders Agreement, the parties to such agreement granted each other a right of first refusal on their respective shares of Common Stock. Under this right of first refusal, if any stockholder party to the Stockholders Agreement receives a bona fide offer from any person (other than a permitted transferee) to purchase such stockholder’s shares of Common Stock, the stockholder must first offer the shares to the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement on the same terms and conditions as the bona fide offer. In addition to this right of first refusal, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA also granted each other and Baron a tag-along right on their respective shares of Common Stock. Under this tag-along right, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, before transferring his or its shares of the Issuer to any person other than a permitted transferee, must first allow the other parties to the agreement to participate in such transfer on the same terms and conditions.

The Stockholders Agreement also provides that, upon the institution of a bankruptcy action by or against a party to the Stockholders Agreement, the other parties to the agreement will be given an option to purchase the bankrupt stockholder’s shares of Common Stock at a price to be agreed upon by the bankrupt stockholder and the other stockholders, or, if a price cannot be agreed upon by such stockholders, at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares. In addition, under the Stockholders Agreement, if there is a direct or indirect change of ownership interests of any party to the agreement, other than Baron, the other parties to the agreement have the option to purchase the shares of Common Stock held by the party undergoing the change in ownership interests. Under the Stockholders Agreement, a stockholder may assign the rights described in this paragraph to the Issuer.

On November 8, 2006, pursuant to an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement, neither Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA (nor any of their respective permitted transferees) shall transfer, or permit any of their respective affiliates to transfer, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person without the prior written consent of both Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA.

The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the texts of the actual agreement and related amendment, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 attached hereto.
