    <remarks>All of the shares reported on this Form 3 have been reported, and will continue to be reported, as beneficially owned by Stephen A. Wynn (&quot;Mr. Wynn&quot;) on all Forms 4 filed by Mr. Wynn.  This Form 3 is being filed to reflect that Wynn Family Limited Partnership (&quot;WFLP&quot;) may be deemed to share with Mr. Wynn beneficial ownership of such shares.  WFLP serves as a holding company through which Mr. Wynn, in his capacity as the trustee of the Stephen A. Wynn Revocable Trust U/D/T dated June 24, 2010 (&quot;Revocable Trust&quot;),  holds shares of the Company's common stock.  Mr. Wynn, in his capacity as trustee of the Revocable Trust, is the sole manager of Wynn GP, LLC, which is the general partner of WFLP.  On September 28, 2012, WFLP acquired 10,026,708 shares of common stock in connection with the merger of a predecessor entity with WFLP.  Such transaction represented a change in the form of Mr. Wynn's beneficial ownership without changing Mr. Wynn's pecuniary interest in such shares, and was exempt from Section 16 pursuant to Rule 16a-13.  WFLP is a party to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated January 6, 2010 by and among Mr. Wynn, Elaine P. Wynn and Aruze USA, Inc., and therefore participates in the election of the Company's directors.
