Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Steve Wynn …
Unlike many other CEOs, Wynn expresses himself with clarity and a precise vocabulary that shows his English Lit degree is more than just a sheepskin on a wall.

The thing about all these old Golden Nugget commercials, almost all of them end with a joke at Wynn’s expense. Nowadays, he has either high opinion of himself or changed his outlook on his own celebrity, and probably wouldn’t go for ads like these. Even though this “style” is even more fit for a hotel named the guy than it is with Golden Nugget (maybe with Garth standing in for Sinatra?)
The one where Wynn is wearing a housekeeper uniform and pulling an Undercover Boss while cleaning a guestroom is funny just to look at now simply for being unbelievable in contemporary context.
On our Graceland Chapel marriage adventure 20 years ago this coming June, our wedding party of eight took two cabs to the Golden Nugget on Friday to get the marriage licence next door. My buddies and I had a running game to say “Ladies and Gentleman…”, and then introduce a celebrity look-alike among the regular people. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Steve Wynn himself talking to a pit boss looking fella. I loudly declared “Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. Steve Wynn…” He looked up and asked “What do you want?”. He was nice, friendly, and obviously has a great sense of humor. I say he is an Ambassador to casino gambling. Obviously I am not a dealer at a Wynn property, so I have nothing but love and admiration for the man. I won’t gamble a dime at Wynn due to it’s high roller slant, but count me as a Steve Wynn fan.
