Steve Wynn is one of the prime builders of today's Las Vegas. He worked as a slot and keno manager in his early days here, then, with banker E. Parry Thomas as a mentor, he pulled off a land deal with Howard Hughes and Caesars Palace in 1971, that got him enough money and influence to pull off the coup that got him control of the Golden Nugget. Wynn built another Golden Nugget in Atlantic City in 1980. In 1986, he bought the large piece of land next to Caesars Palace, across the Strip from the Desert Inn. He then sold the Atlantic City Golden Nugget for a reported four hundred and forty million dollars and used much of the money on the dream resort, the Mirage, in 1989. The three thousand room Mirage was the first major resort built on the Strip since the original MGM Grand (now Bally's) at Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard. The 90s saw Wynn build Treasure Island next to the Mirage and another 'dream', the Bellagio on the corner of Flamingo and the Strip on the site of the demolished Dunes. The building of the Mirage has stirred many others to build and renovate on the Strip. The new MGM, the Excaliber, Mandalay Bay all went up. The Strip went through a major change in the 90s. Steve Wynn may have well been the major player in that change. Wynn realized his biggest dream to date by opening the Wynn Las Vegas in April of 2005.

  1. Lifestyle Centers - Is New Urbanism the Next Wave?
A buzzword a few short years ago, New Urbanism is beginning to transform the industry. Why? Will it endure? It is a morphing of the Lifestyle Center or is New Urbanism creating its own distinct format? What is its effect on traditional centers?

3. How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can Develop, Retain, and Benefit from Female Leadership
Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network recently completed a research study to ascertain the status of women in the industry. The findings were compelling, and provide clear direction for the industry in terms of how to attract and retain top talent. By understanding where women have advanced, and where they haven't, the industry can better understand the things that need to be done to address these issues. In addition, the panel will discuss what women need to do individually to advance their own careers in commercial real estate. The knowledge and skills that audience members will take away from the session will be primarily two-fold: (1) How companies have been successful by instituting programs that reach out to women and (2) How women in various disciplines of commercial real estate can advance their career.
