Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures. The document focuses exclusively on operational timelines and capacity adjustments.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the consolidation of the Wynn Macau expansion schedule:
- Phasing Change: The expansion will now open in a single phase in the third quarter of 2007, rather than in stages throughout the year.
- Reason: This adjustment facilitates continued planning for the Diamond Suites tower and its integration with the existing property.
- Capacity Adjustments:
- Chinese New Year (Feb 2007): Approximately 40 additional table games and 266 additional slot machines will open, bringing totals to 264 table games and 632 slot machines.
- Full Expansion (July 2007): The remaining expansion, including approximately 135,000 square feet of gaming space, new front features, and additional amenities, will open. Final capacity is expected to reach approximately 420 table games and 1,280 slot machines.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management indicates that the delay of the full expansion to July 2007 is a result of integration planning for the Diamond Suites tower. No specific financial guidance, risk factors, or contingencies regarding this schedule change are detailed in this filing.
