Wynn Resorts Says It's the First Bringing Big Entertainment Back to Vegas

Gambling and resort company Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) announced this morning it's the first casino operator to bring flashy entertainment back to the Las Vegas Strip after the COVID-19 shutdown this spring and summer. In order to simplify social distancing and avoid the risks or difficulties associated with live performers, the shows will take place outdoors and feature $14 million worth of gigantic animatronic characters. Much of the work in designing the new shows was done remotely, according to Wynn, in deference to pandemic conditions.
