Article: Wynn Resorts says it expects to finish Encore hotel-casino at end of 2008

LAS VEGAS -- Wynn Resorts Ltd. has extended the completion date for its $1.4 billion Encore hotel-casino to Dec. 31, 2008, to allow time to refine the scope of the project.

Wynn Resorts had originally planned to finish the megaresort nine months earlier, according to documents filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company is building Encore next to its $2.7 billion Wynn Las Vegas that opened April 28 and has already generated strong revenues in its first 34 days of operation.

Encore will be freestanding, but fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas, the filing said.
