Wynn Resorts Shares Pop in Debut; CEO Credits Staff
By: CNBC.com
Despite a struggling gaming industry, Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn credited a hospitable staff for helping Wynn Macau's China-traded shares to close 7 percent higher Friday than their IPO price of $10.08 Hong Kong dollars.
"A gaming table's a gaming table," Wynn said. "At the end of the day we're in a hospitality business, and it's all about the experience that people have in the building."
