        In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the interests of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Representations and Warranties of the Company.

        The Company represents and warrants to each of the Underwriters as follows:

        (a)  A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-90600) with respect to the Shares has been prepared by the Company in conformity in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder and has been filed with the Commission. Copies of such registration statement, including any amendments thereto, the preliminary prospectuses contained therein and the exhibits, financial statements and schedules, as finally amended and revised, have heretofore been delivered by the Company to you. Such registration statement, as amended when it was declared effective by the Commission under the Act and the Rules and Regulations, including the financial statements and schedules thereto and any information omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the Prospectus referred to below and together with any registration statement filed by the Company that is effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Act, is referred to herein as the "Registration Statement." The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and no post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed as of the date of this Agreement. "Prospectus" means the form of prospectus first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). Each preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement prior to the time it becomes effective is herein referred to as a "Preliminary Prospectus."

        (b)  The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the state of Nevada, with corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each of the subsidiaries of the Company as listed in Exhibit 21.1 to the Registration Statement (collectively, the "Subsidiaries") has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation or limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, with corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own or lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the Subsidiaries listed on Exhibit 21.1 to the Registration Statement. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries are duly qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of their business requires such qualification, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the business, properties, assets, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not occurring in the ordinary course of business (any such change, a "Material Adverse Change"). The outstanding membership interests and shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, the shares of capital stock of such Subsidiaries are fully paid and non-assessable and, except as set forth on Schedule 1(b), all such interests and shares are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and equities and claims, except for any lien, encumbrance, equity or claim granted or agreed to be granted pursuant to an Executed Transaction Document or a Closing Transaction Document; and, except as accurately described in all material respects in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or as set forth on Schedule 1(b), there are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

2



        (c)  As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists only of 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 40,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of the date hereof, there are 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. The outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. The description of the Company's stock option, stock incentive and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus fairly presents and accurately presents, in all material respects, the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights. The Shares to be issued and sold by the Company have been duly authorized and when issued and paid for as contemplated herein will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and, except as set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, no preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of stockholders or others exist with respect to any of the Shares or the issue and sale thereof by the Company. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock.

        (d)  The table relating to the capitalization of the Company under the heading "Capitalization" in the Prospectus, including the footnotes thereto, (i) with respect to the actual capitalization of Valvino as of June 30, 2002 presents fairly the information contained therein and (ii) with respect to the expected capitalization of the Company as of June 30, 2002 on a pro forma basis giving effect to the sale of the Firm Shares and the expected concurrent sale of second mortgage notes by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("Wynn Las Vegas") and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. ("Capital Corp.") and with respect to the expected capitalization of the Company as of June 30, 2002 on a pro forma, as adjusted basis giving effect to the sale of the Firm Shares, the expected concurrent sale of second mortgage notes by Wynn Las Vegas and Capital Corp. and borrowings expected to be necessary to construct the Le Rêve Casino Resort, was prepared in good faith by the Company, and represents the best estimates and assumptions of the Company with respect to the information contained therein. All of the Shares conform to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus. The form of certificate for the Shares conforms to the corporate law of the state of Nevada.

        (e)  The Commission has not issued an order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus relating to the proposed offering of the Shares nor, to the knowledge of the Company or its Subsidiaries, instituted proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement, at the time that it became effective and at all subsequent times up to and including the time of closing on the Closing Date (the "Closing Time"), complied, and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, as of their respective dates and at all subsequent times up to and including the Closing Time, will comply, in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. At the time it became effective and at all subsequent times up to and including the Closing Time, the Registration Statement did not contain, and will not contain, any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit, and will not omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of its date and at all subsequent times up to and including the Closing Time, the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented by any amendments and supplements thereto (including any Prospectus wrapper for use with offers in Canada) does not contain, and will not contain, any untrue statement of material fact and does not omit, and will not omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf

Such insurance coverage (including deductibles, retentions and self-insurance amounts) complies with the insurance coverage required at the Closing Date under the Master Disbursement Agreement by and among Wynn Las Vegas, Capital Corp., Wynn Design & Development, LLC, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank Nevada, National Association (the "Master Disbursement Agreement"). The Company has no reason to believe that such insurance coverage cannot be renewed as and when such coverage expires or that similar coverage could not be obtained from similar insurers at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change (other than as a result of general market conditions).

9



        (y)  Except for matters which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder ("ERISA"). No "reportable event" (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any "pension plan" (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would have any liability. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred or expects to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any "pension plan" or (ii) Section 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the "Code"). Except for matters which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, each "pension plan" for which the Company or any Subsidiary would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

        (z)  The Underwriters or Inspection & Valuation International, Inc., in their capacity as a consultant of the Underwriters, have been furnished with a copy of the plans and specifications for the construction of the Le Rêve Casino Resort that have been prepared to date, which plans and specifications are consistent in all material respects with the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. The anticipated costs as of the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, if any, of such construction (including interest, legal, architectural, engineering, planning, zoning, pre-opening and other similar costs) do not exceed (except as a result of rounding adjustments) the amounts allocated for such costs as set forth under the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus. In addition, the other amounts set forth under the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus are based upon reasonable assumptions as to all matters material to the estimates set forth therein and are not expected by the Company to exceed the amounts set forth for such items.

        (aa) The Project Budget (as defined in the Master Disbursement Agreement), as of the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, if any, (i) is, to the Company's knowledge, based on reasonable assumptions as to all legal and factual matters material to the estimates set forth therein, (ii) is consistent with the provisions of the Operative Documents (as defined in the Master Disbursement Agreement) in all material respects, (iii) has been and will be prepared in good faith and with due care, (iv) sets forth, for each Line Item Category (as defined in the Master Disbursement Agreement), the total costs anticipated to be incurred through Final Completion (as defined in the Master Disbursement Agreement), (v) fairly represents the Company's expectation as to the matters covered thereby as of its date and (vi) sets forth a total amount of costs incurred or expected to be incurred in connection with the development, design, engineering, procurement, installation, construction and opening of the Le Rêve Casino Resort (as described in the Prospectus), including contingencies, which is equal to the Available Funds (as defined in the Master Disbursement Agreement).

        (bb) To the Company's knowledge and except as set forth on Schedule 1(bb) hereto, there are no affiliations or associations between any member of the NASD and any of the Company's officers, directors or securityholders. There are no business relationships or related-party transactions involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person required to be described in the Prospectus which have not been described as required.

        (cc) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company's knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person associated with or acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficial owner of 10 percent or more of the capital stock of the Company has, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices

10



Act of 1977, as amended, or (iv) made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment.

        (dd) The Shares have been approved for inclusion on the Nasdaq National Market, subject only to official notice of issuance.

        (ee) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification or filing with, any court or governmental body or agency (including, without limitation, the Nevada State Gaming Commission, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and any jurisdictions in which Directed Shares are offered), other than those obtained, is required in connection with the offering of the Directed Shares in any U.S. jurisdiction where the Directed Shares are being offered.

        (ff) The Company has not offered, or caused Deutsche Bank or its affiliates to offer, Shares to any person pursuant to the Directed Share Program with the specific intent to unlawfully influence (i) a customer or supplier of the Company to alter the customer's or supplier's level or type of business with the Company, or (ii) a trade journalist or publication to write or publish favorable information about the Company or its business.

        Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Representatives, Deutsche Bank or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to the matters set forth therein.

        The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 hereof, counsel to the Company and counsel to the Underwriters, will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents to such reliance.

2.
Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Firm Shares.

        (a)  On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, at a price of $12.09 per share, the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of each Underwriter in Schedule I hereof, subject to adjustments in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

        (b)  Payment for the Firm Shares to be sold hereunder is to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of certificates therefor to the Representatives for the several accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment and delivery are to be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the third business day after the date of this Agreement or at such other time and date not later than five business days thereafter as you and the Company shall agree upon, such time and date being herein referred to as the "Closing Date." (As used herein, "business day" means a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which banks in New York, New York are open for business and are not permitted by law or executive order to be closed.) Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.

        (c)  In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase the Option Shares at the price per share as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 2. The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice (i) at any time before the Closing Date and (ii) only once thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, by you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, to the Company setting forth

11



the number of Option Shares as to which the several Underwriters are exercising the option and the time and date at which such certificates are to be delivered. The time and date at which certificates for Option Shares are to be delivered shall be determined by the Representatives but shall not be earlier than three nor later than 10 full business days after the exercise of such option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Date (such time and date being herein referred to as the "Option Closing Date"). If the date of exercise of the option is three or more days before the Closing Date, the notice of exercise shall set the Closing Date as the Option Closing Date. The number of Option Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be in the same proportion to the total number of Option Shares being purchased as the number of Firm Shares being purchased by such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares, adjusted by you in such manner as to avoid fractional shares. The option with respect to the Option Shares granted hereunder may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm Shares by the Underwriters. You, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, may cancel such option at any time prior to its expiration by giving joint written notice of such cancellation to the Company. To the extent, if any, that the option is exercised, payment for the Option Shares shall be made on the Option Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company in New York, New York drawn to the order of the Company.

3.
Offering by the Underwriters.

        It is understood that the several Underwriters are to make a public offering of the Firm Shares as soon after this Agreement has been executed as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, deem it advisable to do so. The Firm Shares are to be initially offered to the public at the initial public offering price set forth in the Prospectus. The Representatives may from time to time thereafter change the public offering price and other selling terms; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3 shall affect the Underwriters' obligations pursuant to Section 2 hereof. To the extent, if at all, that any Option Shares are purchased pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Underwriters will offer them to the public on the foregoing terms.

        It is further understood that you will act as the Representatives for the Underwriters in the offering and sale of the Shares in accordance with a Master Agreement Among Underwriters entered into by you and the several other Underwriters.

4.
Covenants of the Company.

        The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that:

        (a)  The Company shall (i) use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective or, if the procedure in Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations is followed, to prepare and timely file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations a Prospectus in a form approved by the Representatives containing information previously omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations and (ii) not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus of which the Representatives shall not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the Representatives shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in compliance with the Rules and Regulations.

        (b)  The Company shall advise the Representatives promptly (i) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto shall have become effective, (ii) of receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request of the Commission for amendment of the Registration Statement or for supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate

12



from listing or quotation the Common Stock from any securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company shall make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued.

        (c)  The Company shall cooperate with the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters to qualify the Shares for sale under (or obtain exemptions from the application of the qualification requirements of) the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably have designated and shall make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent. The Company shall, from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports, and other documents, as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Representatives may reasonably request for distribution of the Shares. The Company shall advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation of threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

        (d)  The Company shall deliver to, or upon the order of, the Representatives, from time to time, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company shall deliver to, or upon the order of, the Representatives during the period when delivery of a Prospectus is required under the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus in final form, or as thereafter amended or supplemented, as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company shall deliver to the Representatives at or before the Closing Date, three signed copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto including all exhibits filed therewith, and shall deliver to the Representatives such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including such number of copies of the exhibits filed therewith that may reasonably be requested) and of all amendments thereto, as the Representatives may reasonably request.

        (e)  The Company shall comply with the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated in this Agreement and the Prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus is required by law to be delivered by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriters, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the Company promptly shall prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus so that the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented shall not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that the Prospectus shall comply with the law.

        (f)    The Company shall make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives, as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event not later than 15 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations and shall advise you in writing when such statement has been so made available.

13



        (g)  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall furnish to the Underwriters, as soon as they have been prepared by or are available to the Company, a copy of any unaudited interim financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any period subsequent to the period covered by the most recent financial statements appearing in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

        (h)  During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the 180th day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open "put equivalent position" within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any shares of Common Stock, options or warrants to acquire shares of the Common Stock or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock (other than as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Shares); provided, however, that the Company may issue shares of its Common Stock or options to purchase its Common Stock, or Common Stock upon exercise of options, pursuant to any stock option, stock incentive or other stock plan or arrangement described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and may file a registration statement in respect thereof, but only if the holders of such shares, options, or shares issued upon exercise of such options, agree in writing not to sell, offer, dispose of or otherwise transfer any such shares or options during such 180 day period without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives).

        (i)    The Company shall use its best efforts to include the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market.

        (j)    The Company has caused each of its officers, directors and stockholders (excluding Baron Asset Fund) and Aruze Corp. to furnish to you, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, a letter or letters, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto ("Lockup Agreements").

        (k)  The Company shall apply the net proceeds of its sale of the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Use of Proceeds" and shall file such reports with the Commission with respect to the sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds therefrom as may be required in accordance with Rule 463 under the Act.

        (l)    The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such a manner as would require the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

        (m)  The Company shall maintain a transfer agent and a registrar for the Common Stock.

        (n)  The Company shall not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or could reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.

        (o)  The Company shall comply with all applicable securities laws and, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, in each case, in connection with the Directed Share Program in each jurisdiction in which the Directed Shares are offered.

5.
Costs and Expenses.

        The Company shall pay all costs, expenses and fees incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following: accounting fees of the Company; the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; the cost of printing and delivering to, or as requested by, the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectuses, the Prospectus, the Underwriters' Selling Memorandum, the Underwriters' Invitation Letter, the Listing Application, the Blue Sky Survey and any supplements or

The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Underwriters incident to the offer and sale of Directed Shares by the Underwriters to employees and persons having business and other relationships with the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any of the Underwriters other expenses including (a) the fees and expenses of their counsel (other than those related to qualification under NASD regulation, state securities or Blue Sky laws and the Directed Share Program), (b) other professional fees (excluding the fees and expenses of Inspection & Valuation International, Inc.), (c) the customary costs and expenses of the roadshow and any other meetings with prospective investors, (d) the costs and expenses of travel of the Representatives and the other Underwriters (e) the costs and expenses of any other consultants and experts specifically retained by the Representatives (other than Inspection & Valuation International, Inc.) and (f) all arrangements relating to the preparation, issuance and delivery of any certificates evidencing the Shares, including the fees of any transfer agent or similar entity, except in all cases that, if the sale of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall not be consummated because the conditions in Section 6 hereof are not satisfied, because this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 10 hereof, or by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to perform any undertaking or satisfy any condition of this Agreement or to comply with any of the terms hereof on its part to be performed, unless such failure, refusal or inability is due primarily to any default or omission of any Underwriter, the Company shall reimburse the several Underwriters for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, marketing and proposing to market the Shares or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall not in any event be liable to any of the several Underwriters for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Shares.

        (v)  On the date hereof, the Debt Underwriting Agreement (as defined in Schedule II hereof) shall have been executed by the parties thereto and, on the Closing Date, Wynn Las Vegas and Capital Corp. shall have consummated the issuance and sale of an aggregate principal amount of $370 million of their Second Mortgage Notes due 2010 and shall have received the proceeds therefrom of approximately $333 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

        (w)  The Company shall not have knowledge that any party shall have failed at or prior to the Closing Date to perform or comply with any of the agreements contained in any of the Executed Transaction Documents or Closing Transaction Documents and required to be performed or complied with by such party at or prior to the Closing Date and, if applicable, any Option Closing Date unless such failure would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

        (x)  The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date and, if applicable, an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, an executed certificate dated the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as applicable, from Stephen A. Wynn addressed to the Underwriters and stating that it can be relied on by Latham & Watkins, counsel to Underwriters, and counsel and any special counsel to the Company, which certificate provides that the execution and delivery by Mr. Wynn of the Wynn Put Agreement and the Buy-Sell Agreement, and the performance by him of his obligations thereunder, do

18



not (i) breach any agreement or instrument with a value in excess of $10.0 million to which he is a party, (ii) breach any other agreement or instrument to which he is a party if that breach would subject him to a penalty or a payment requirement in excess of $10.0 million, or (3) result in a default under any loan agreement or guarantee or other debt for borrowed money in excess of $10.0 million to which he is a party.

        The opinions and certificates mentioned in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in all material respects satisfactory to the Representatives and to Latham & Watkins, counsel for the Underwriters.

        If any of the conditions hereinabove provided for in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be fulfilled, the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notifying the Company of such termination in writing at or prior to the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

        In such event, the Company and the Underwriters shall not be under any obligation to each other (except to the extent provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof).

7.
Indemnification.

        (a)  The Company agrees:

              (i)  to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and its affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter, affiliate or any such controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any Prospectus wrapper for use with offers in Canada) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or (C) any act or failure to act, or any alleged act or failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Shares or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (A) or (B) above (provided, that the Company shall not be liable under this clause (C) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its gross negligence or willful misconduct); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives specifically for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable to any Underwriter with respect to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus to the extent that (1) such loss, claim, damage, or liability results from an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, which untrue statement or omission was corrected in the final Prospectus, (2) the Company had previously furnished sufficient quantities of

19


    the final Prospectus to such Underwriter within a reasonable amount of time prior to such sale, and (3) such Underwriter failed to deliver the final Prospectus, if required by law to have so delivered it, and such delivery would have been a complete defense against the person asserting such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage; and

            (ii)  to reimburse each Underwriter and each such affiliate or controlling person upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter, affiliate or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether or not such Underwriter, affiliate or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Underwriters were not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the Underwriters will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto. The indemnity obligations under this Section 7(a) will be in addition to any liability which such Company may otherwise have.

        (b)  Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether or not the Company or such director, officer or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding; provided, however, that each Underwriter will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

        (c)  In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 7, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 7(a), (b) or (d) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 7(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, and the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 7(a), (b) or (d). In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and,

20



to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) or (d) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

        (d)  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries, whether direct or indirect, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Deutsche Bank and each person, if any, who controls Deutsche Bank within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) caused by the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Shares that the Participant has agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising out of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program other than losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Deutsche Bank; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i) above, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. The indemnity agreement set forth in this paragraph shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries may otherwise have.

        (e)  To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a), (b) or (d) above in respect of any losses,

21



claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

        The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this Section 7(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

        (f)    Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefore hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter, or any person controlling any Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7.

8.
Default by Underwriters.

        If on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the portion of the Shares which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for on such date (otherwise than by reason of any default on the part of the Company), you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, shall use your reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours

22



thereafter one or more of the other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase from the Company such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth herein, the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase. If during such 36 hours you, as such Representatives, shall not have procured such other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase the Shares agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then (a) if the aggregate number of shares with respect to which such default shall occur does not exceed 10% of the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date or any Option Closing date, as the case may be, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in proportion to the respective numbers of Shares which they are obligated to purchase hereunder, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase, or (b) if the aggregate number of shares of Shares with respect to which such default shall occur exceeds 10% of the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the Company or you as the Representatives of the Underwriters shall have the right, by written notice given within the next 36-hour period to the parties to this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or of the Company except to the extent provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof (provided that if such default occurs solely with respect to Option Shares after the Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Shares or any Option Shares purchased prior to such termination). In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters, as set forth in this Section 8, the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, may be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as you, as Representatives, may determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement or in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter. Any action taken under this Section 8 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

9.
Notices.

        All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be mailed, delivered, telecopied or telegraphed and confirmed as follows: if to the Underwriters, to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 31 West 52nd Street New York, New York 10019; Attention: Syndicate Manager and General Counsel; if to the Company, to Wynn Resorts, Limited, 3145 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109; Attention: General Counsel.

10.
Termination.    This Agreement may be terminated by you:

        (a)  by notice to the Company at any time prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then only as to Option Shares) if any of the following has occurred: (i) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in the judgment of the Representatives, any Material Adverse Change or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, (ii) any attack on, or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving, the United States or declaration of war or national emergency or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic or political conditions if the effect of such attack, outbreak, escalation, acts, declaration, emergency, calamity, crisis or change on the financial markets of the United States would, in the Representatives' judgment, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, (iii) the suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally or other instruments on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or other exchange or limitation on prices for securities or other instruments on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects or may materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company, (v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by United

23



States or New York or Nevada state authorities, (vi) any downgrading, or placement on any watch list for possible downgrading, in the rating of any of the Company's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Exchange Act), (vii) the suspension of trading of any securities of the Company by any exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Commission, or any other governmental authority (viii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects, or will materially and adversely affect, the business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ix) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representatives may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured; or

        (b)  as provided in Sections 6 and 8 of this Agreement.

11.
Successors.

        This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and assigns, and the officers, directors, employees and controlling persons referred to herein, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign merely because of such purchase.

12.
Information Provided by Underwriters.

        The Company and the Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the only information furnished or to be furnished by any Underwriter to the Company for inclusion in any Prospectus or the Registration Statement consists of the information set forth in the fourth, eleventh through sixteenth and eighteenth paragraphs under the caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus.

13.
Partial Enforceability.

        The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable and to effect the original intent of the parties hereto.

14.
Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

        THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby irrevocably submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Agreement and irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. The parties hereto hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

15.
Miscellaneous.

        The reimbursement, indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of (a) any termination of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of any

24



Underwriter or controlling person thereof, or by or on behalf of the Company or its directors or officers and (c) delivery of and payment for the Shares under this Agreement.

        This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        If the foregoing letter is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicates hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement among the Company and the several Underwriters in accordance with its terms.

NASD AFFILIATIONS

        1.    From July 1999 to October 2001, Ronald Kramer served as a managing director at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, Inc. and its predecessor ("Dresdner"). In November 2001, shortly after Mr. Kramer's departure from Dresdner, Dresdner and Mr. Kramer entered into an arrangement providing that if a certain investment banking client with whom Mr. Kramer had developed a relationship while at Dresdner (the "Unrelated Client") consummated a financing, Mr. Kramer would receive a percentage of any net fees the Unrelated Client paid to Dresdner. In exchange, Mr. Kramer agreed to provide certain financial consulting and advisory services to the Unrelated Client. Dresdner also agreed to reimburse Mr. Kramer for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the provision of such services. Approximately six months after leaving Dresdner, Mr. Kramer became Director and President of the Company. Neither the Company nor the offering of the Shares has any relation to or connection with the Unrelated Client or the arrangement between Dresdner and Mr. Kramer. On September 23, 2002, the Unrelated Client, with Dresdner acting as initial purchaser, priced a $153 million private placement of 14.5% senior notes due 2009. The private placement closed on October 8, 2002. Mr. Kramer will receive no more than $375,000 pursuant to the consulting arrangement, to be paid by January 8, 2003 (approximately 90 days after closing).

        The undersigned understands that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as representatives (the "Representatives") of the several underwriters (the "Underwriters"), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement with Wynn Resorts, Limited (the "Company"), providing for the public offering (the "Public Offering") by the Underwriters, including the Representatives, of common stock (the "Common Stock") of the Company.

        To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell (including making any short sale or covering any short position), sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned on the date hereof in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant and any other security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Common Stock (each of the foregoing referred to as a "Disposition") for a period from the date hereof until and including the date that is 180 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the "Lock-Up Period"). The foregoing restriction is expressly intended to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition during the Lock-Up Period even if the securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned, but is not intended to impose any obligations on the undersigned with respect to any actions by [in Mr. Wynn's agreement: Aruze USA, Inc.] [in Aruze USA, Inc.'s agreement: Stephen A. Wynn], who may share beneficial ownership of the securities in question. "Hedging Transaction" means any swap or other arrangement (including, without limitation, any put or call option) that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer (a) (i) up to $200,000 of Common Stock that the undersigned acquires in the Public Offering, the value of which shall be calculated at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on each date the undersigned sells such Common Stock; or (ii) shares of Common Stock acquired in open market transactions by the undersigned after the completion of the Public Offering and (b) any or all of the shares of Common Stock or other

Exhibit A-1



Company securities if the transfer is (i) by gift, will or intestacy; (ii) to a member or members of his or her immediate family or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned and/or a member or members of his or her immediate family (for purposes of this paragraph, "immediate family" shall mean a spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother, brother or sister, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law or brother-in-law of the transferor, in each case whether by birth or adoption and including stepchildren); (iii) the purchase by Stephen A. Wynn of Common Stock owned by Aruze USA, Inc. or any transferee thereof, pursuant to the Buy-Sell Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2002, among Stephen A.

Wynn and Wynn Resorts, Limited; or (iv) by distribution to partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned; provided, however, that in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement.

        The undersigned agrees that the Company may, and that the undersigned will, (i) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the record holder, cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions on the transfer books and records of the Company against the transfer of such securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions and (ii) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial holder but not the record holder, cause the record holder of such securities to cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions on the transfer books and records of the Company against the transfer of such securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

        In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to registration of securities pursuant to any agreement, understanding or otherwise setting forth the terms of any security of the Company held by the undersigned, including any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be party, provided that such waiver shall apply only to the proposed offering, and any other action taken by the Company in connection with the proposed offering.

        The undersigned hereby agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this letter agreement conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be a party, this letter agreement supersedes such registration rights agreement.

        The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this letter agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is understood that if the Public Offering has not occurred prior to December 31, 2002, or immediately upon written notification from the Company to Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. that the Company is terminating the Public Offering, this agreement shall automatically terminate and the restrictions contained herein shall be of no further force or effect.
