“Our fourth quarter and full year results reflect continued strength throughout our business, setting another full-year record for Adjusted Property EBITDAR for the Company in 2024, with another annual record in Las Vegas,” said Wynn Resorts CEO, Craig Billings.
“We delivered strong quarterly performance in Las Vegas on very tough comparables and drove healthy market share in Macau, led by strength in both premium mass and VIP. In addition, construction of the Wynn Al Marjan Island project in the UAE continued to advance, and the thirty-fifth floor of the hotel tower was recently completed. We are confident the resort will be a ‘must see’ tourism destination in the UAE and will support strong long-term free cash flow growth.”
