Part I: Steve Wynn discusses his journey into the Las Vegas hotel and casino business

For everyone out there that wants to jump on the hate Steve Wynn bandwagon be cognizant of the FACT that hundreds of thousands of people owe their jobs and careers to Steve Wynn and his vision to change LV. My family has been in LV since 1926 and no other person has made a bigger difference in the economy than Steve.

I Don't care what the media attacked him for, he was, hands down one of the best CEO'S in Las Vegas or U.S. for that matter, I will never forget how he and many of those in management he hired treated the employees. They really knew how to treat their employees. The people running Las Vegas properties now are an embarrassment to the hospitality industry, could care less about quality or service many now are elitist, petty tyrants and I'm ashamed to say some of them worked for Mr. Wynn years ago. So much has changed, but those that met and know him, know he was incredibly kind to so many.

23:00, "The development makes the location not the location makes the development." Thank you. So well put.

I love listening to him. What a visionary. I saw him at the Wynn years ago. I would attend a masterclass if he had one. Great man.

Mr. Wynn made Las Vegas one of the few most attractive cities in the world ! Thank you for the iconic city!

Awesome how much he loves telling his story after all these years as I'm sure he's repeated it countless times. You can sense that not only was he blown away by his luck but also proud of the calls he made thereafter.

I felt like a millionaire when I stayed at the Wynn and Encore. I will likely never stay anywhere nicer than that. I felt like a million bucks! 😌

it's always cool to hear an entrepreneur's journey, keep it up Mr. Wynn!

Mr. Wynn my father and I were at your gallery some 11 years ago at the Desert Inn. You stopped and had a lengthy conversation about the art ant we were grateful you spent the time with us. I spoke about the painting I liked and you said it was the same one your wife liked, and she hung it in the laundry room, Oh My, on my end. Well, Mr. Wynn my Father is quite an accomplished artist and I wanted to know who to talk to about appraising his art work. This is a life collection, keep in mind. I think you would be amazed.

My only wish is that they bring back the gorgeous neon flashing lights from the 60s-90s

I respect this man for his grateful thankful behavior! I love this interview, this is one hell of an experience to learn. so much like hearing a great story from your old man! ^ ^

What a life! Adventure, colorful, excitement and transformational to a city 🌆 & industry. Should be made into a movie 🎥

I had to pause this video at 13 min just to make the comment that I felt like I was in that room and he was talking to me... Being a Sinatra fan resonated even more, but he is so cool.. wish I could chat with the guy.

The one and only Steve Wynn.
