My Take
Steve Wynn is a complicated figure for me. There's no denying he reshaped Las Vegas, turning casinos into glossy luxury destinations and pairing them with a genuinely serious art collection. That blend of showmanship and taste is rare, and his name became shorthand for a certain kind of opulence. But I can't write about him without acknowledging he was forced to step down from his own company in 2018. I find the whole arc telling: immense vision and influence on one side, a hard fall on the other. He's proof that building an empire and keeping it are two very different things.
