As long-standing business partners, Tim and Tom have together helped to
pioneer the online travel industry with the development and ultimate sale of
Travelscape to Expedia. This Las Vegas oriented travel company established a
sales model that was eventually adopted and more fully exploited by the
leading internet-based travel agencies.
It wasn't long after selling Travelscape that Tim and Tom orchestrated the
acquisition of the Golden Nugget, and turned their attention towards
revitalizing this classic casino property. As the principal operators, they
expanded their knowledge and understanding of integrated resort operations and
managed to reinvigorate this downtown Las Vegas gem. Their collective
experiences and their entrepreneurial drive, make them ideally suited to
assist Wynn as it prepares for another period of substantial growth and
change.
"This is a very exciting time for our company as we prepare to expand both
here in Las Vegas and in Asia," noted Steve Wynn. "Until now, we've only been
limited by our human capital and our limited capacity to design, develop and
operate resorts that live up to our standards. With the addition of Tim and
Tom to our leadership team we have both improved our opportunities for success
with our existing ventures and enhanced our ability to pursue new ones."
