Steve and Elaine Wynn head for divorce court again.
While this isn’t a Las Vegas news site so to speak, I do keep up on — or try to keep up on — what’s happening in Las Vegas and when it’s something I think readers would be interested in, I do like to mention it here.
What has struck me as interesting lately is all the news about “splits” — both corporate and personal — happening these days in Las Vegas. Here’s a quick rundown on what’s caught my eye lately:
Split #1 — Steve and Elaine Wynn filed for divorce. While no one on the outside can ever know what’s going on within a marriage, this news made me sad. I would think that having a string of successful properties, stock prices that haven’t tanked like the rest of the industry, and what would appear to be a “wynning” working relationship would allow them as a couple to sit back, relax and enjoy their family and what they have built together. And it’s not like this is their first trip to the courthouse — they divorced once before and got remarried. But, again, that’s just my opinion. Read more about the Wynn divorce here.
Split #2 — “Cannery Casino Resorts and Crown Terminate Merger Agreement; Crown to Make Investment Into CCR” is the headline on a press release I received this week. (more…)
