Wynn Macau Empire In Heated Dispute

Category: Tourism, Posted:27 Feb 2012 | 06:00 am

One of the stories to watch in the coming days is the legal dispute between Steve Wynn and his Japanese investor Kazuo Okada.
This tale looks to trail all over Asia with Wynn Macau's Vice Chairman Allan Zeman being quoted in the international press, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) being citied.

Looks like a large-scale legal battle is in the works. Perhaps Thailand might be better off not having the legalized gaming for the moment given the industry's hard-nosed proposition.
