Wynn Resorts has announced financial results for the first quarter of 2024, reporting increases in operating revenue, net income and adjusted property EBITDAR year-over-year.
"The strong momentum we experienced in our business throughout 2023 continued to build during the first quarter with adjusted property EBITDAR reaching a new all-time record. The investments we have made in our properties, our team and our unique programming continue to extend our leadership position in each of our markets,” Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings said.
"On the development front, vertical construction on the hotel tower at Wynn Al Marjan Island is well underway, and we are confident the resort will be a 'must see' tourism destination in the UAE. We are excited about the outlook for the company, and we believe we are well positioned to deliver continued long-term growth."
As Billings commented, Wynn Resorts will be opening a new destination, Wynn Al Marjan Island, hoping to open for guests in 2027. The company released renderings of the new resort on May 6.
