Wynn Resorts Set Up Japan Office For Integrated Resort Push

As the time gets closer for Integrated Resorts in Japan and the jostling for one of the only three licenses to be issued in the country, Wynn Resorts are the latest International operator that has announced it is setting up a Japan office in Tokyo later this year.

Wynn Resorts Development Japan was established late last year to look at the possibility of tendering for one of the coveted licenses, the company has already said following a recent visit in January by Matt Maddox that should they receive a license the casino giant would be prepared to spend upwards of $8 billion.

Matt Maddox the Wynn CEO said on the office, “We are aware that the Japanese national and local governments are deeply considering the establishment of Japanese-style IRs. Providing information and making proposals to the local governments is an important responsibility of the IR operators. We believe that we can better respond to this information provision responsibility through the establishment of our Japan corporation and the opening of our office.”
