the Encore rooms and retail revenues benefited from strong same-store sales growth and the addition of three new boutiques at Encore.

Macau.

Wynn Las Vegas Fourth Quarter Results

in the fourth quarter of 2009. Property EBITDA of $68.3 million (with a 21.0% EBITDA margin on net revenue) was up 25.0% versus the $54.7
million generated in the comparable period in 2009, primarily due to higher gaming revenues.

Net casino revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $139.2 million, up 16.0% from the fourth quarter of 2009. Table games drop was $564.8
million, compared to drop of $548.5 million in the 2009 quarter and table games win percentage of 22.5% was within the property’s expected
range of 21% to 24% and above the 18.7% reported in the 2009 quarter. Slot machine handle of $698.1 million was 5.9% below the
comparable period of 2009, however net slot win was up 2.1%.

Gross non-casino revenues for the quarter were $230.9 million, a 2.6% increase from the fourth quarter of 2009, driven primarily by higher
revenues from our nightclub operations, specifically, the recently opened Surrender.

Room revenues were down 1.7% to $76.4 million during the quarter, versus $77.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Even though Average
Daily Rate (ADR) was up 7.1% to $235 and occupancy of 81.8% was slightly higher than the 81.0% for the fourth quarter of 2009, revenues
declined as we had 9.0% fewer room nights available for sale during the quarter due to our remodel of the rooms at Wynn Las Vegas. This
room remodel is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2011.

Food and beverage revenues increased 6.4% to $98.0 million in the quarter as we opened the new Surrender nightclub in May 2010. Retail
revenues were $22.0 million in the quarter, 5.1% below last year’s levels. Entertainment revenues increased 30.3% to $20.2 million from the
fourth quarter of 2009 primarily due to the Garth Brooks performances (started in December 2009).

Interest expense was $59.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $50.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Depreciation and
amortization expense was $100.3 million during the quarter compared to $104.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

approximately $2.6 billion of Wynn Las Vegas debt and $651 million of Wynn Macau debt.

primarily related to the Wynn Las Vegas room remodel.
