Wynn to Develop Retail on Las Vegas Strip
Casino magnate Steve Wynn announced new retail development Wynn Plaza on Feb. 17. The 75,518-square-foot retail center is scheduled to make its debut on the Las Vegas Strip by Fall 2017, according to a statement from Wynn Las Vegas, a prominent property for Wynn Resorts, the company for which Steve Wynn serves as chairman and chief executive officer.
Wynn Las Vegas will add to the luxe retail offered at the prominent Wynn Las Vegas and Encore resorts. Wynn Las Vegas is close to the Fashion Show Mall, a prominent retail center on the Las Vegas Strip.
Part of the upcoming Wynn Plaza will border Las Vegas Boulevard. “We had 300 or more feet on the Strip right on the sidewalk in unused real estate that was very, very valuable,” Wynn said. “This represents an opportunity for future development that is quite unique.” Wynn Plaza will feature two entrances leading off and onto Strip. It also will have a dedicated valet service.
Wynn Plaza is forecast to be a two-story complex. It will be covered by atriums and a skylight rotunda. The design of Wynn Plaza will be inspired by Avenue Matignon, a Parisian street famed for high-end retail and restaurants.
