Wynn launches new resort in US gambling capital.
Gambling mogul Steve Wynn has revealed that he expects his newly-opened Las Vegas casino to be a hit, despite the harsh economic conditions currently facing the Nevada city.Years in the planning, Wynn Resorts' latest venture, the $2.3 billion Encore casino, finally opened its doors to the gaming public at the start of this week.
And while some venues in Sin City are feeling the pinch of the credit crunch, Wynn believes that demand for casino games such as poker, blackjack and roulette remains as strong as ever – provided the operators get the basics right.

"Better service, nicer rooms, better lighting," Wynn told the Associated Press when asked the secret of his ongoing success.
"Themes that are corny get old quickly, but real and wonderful environments with great service are timeless."
The new casino has created as many as 5,000 new jobs in Las Vegas, though gambling observers have also noted that the new venue has brought something much more important in these tough times - confidence.
