"All of us at Wynn Resorts are thrilled and proud that our hotels in Macau and in Las Vegas have been named by Forbes to their highest level of hospitality achievement with the Five Star designation. Our spas, our food and our staff have now received worldwide recognition. We work very hard to maintain standards that would be worthy of such recognition but every one of us recognizes that finally, our most important rating must come from our guests. Our gratitude to the tough inspectors at Forbes," said Steve Wynn.
