EX-99 2 lac376536.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 - PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wynn Resorts, Limited Announces Approval of Amendment to Credit Agreement LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (June 21, 2005) - Wynn Resorts, Limited announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("Wynn Las Vegas"), has received unanimous approval from its lenders to amend its credit agreement. The proposed amendment will extend the deadline for approval of the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas project ("Encore") from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005. The credit agreement amendment is conditioned on the approval of similar amendments to the indenture relating to the 6-5/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2014 issued by Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (the "Issuers"). The Issuers have undertaken a consent solicitation to amend the indenture relating to their 6-5/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2014 (the "Notes"), including: (i) an extension of the deadline for approval of the budget and the plans and specifications for Encore from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005, and (ii) an extension of the outside date for completion of Encore from March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008. The consent solicitation is scheduled to expire on June 24, 2005. Due to demand for Wynn Las Vegas, continued strength in the Las Vegas market, and the desire to maximize the potential of their real estate assets, the Issuers continue to enlarge and refine the scope of Encore, which has been elevated to the status of a free standing casino resort that will be fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas. The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to give the Issuers additional time to finalize the scope of Encore. Wynn Resorts is traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol "WYNN" and, since December 2004, it has been part of the NASDAQ-100 Index. Wynn Las Vegas, a luxury hotel and destination casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip, opened to the public on April 28, 2005.
