Dozens of Women Recount Pattern of Sexual Misconduct by Las Vegas Mogul Steve Wynn..



LAS VEGAS—Not long after the billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn opened his flagship Wynn Las Vegas in 2005, a manicurist who worked there arrived at the on-site salon visibly distressed following an appointment in Mr. Wynn’s office.

Sobbing, she told a colleague Mr. Wynn had forced her to have sex, and she repeated that to others later.

After she gave Mr. Wynn a manicure, she said, he pressured her to take her clothes off and told her to lie on the massage table he kept in his office suite, according to people she gave the account to. The manicurist said she told Mr. Wynn she didn’t want to have sex and was married, but he persisted in his demands that she do so, and ultimately she did disrobe and they had sex, the people remember her saying.

After being told of the allegations, the woman’s supervisor said she filed a detailed report to the casino’s human-resources department recounting the episode.

Mr. Wynn later paid the manicurist a $7.5 million settlement, according to people familiar with the matter.

I attended a party about 25 years ago where he was seated at the table with me and even though I was with my boyfriend, spent most of the evening trying to proposition me sexually, even though I had no interest and was there with my boyfriend....

He was gross then....I can't even imagine that he didn't get more disgusting with age....just like the company he keeps in that photo...

One thing I remember that was icky - how much plastic surgery he had even then and I found him physically revolting.....not to mention he was a pig....
