Wynn Las Vegas Announces 2006 'Dancing with the Stars' Predictions
John Avello, Director of Race & Sports Operations, Releases His Weekly Odds for the ABC Reality Show

LAS VEGAS, 2006 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Forget about the mid-term elections and never mind NFL football. All eyes and ears are on ABC's hit reality show "Dancing with the Stars." John Avello, Director of Race & Sports at Wynn Las Vegas, has assessed the celebrity contestants for the 2006 season of the show "Dancing with the Stars."

The odds to win the 2006 season of "Dancing with the Stars" as of today, September 6, 2006, are as follows:

Predicted Placement	Celebrity Contestant	Predicted Odds
11	Jerry Springer	40:1
10	Tucker Carlson	20:1
9	Emmitt Smith	18:1
8	Harry Hamlin	15:1
7	Shanna Moakler	14:1
6	Willa Ford	12:1
5	Joe Lawrence	10:1
4	Vivica A. Fox	8:1
3	Sara Evans	6:1
2	Monique Coleman	5:1
1	Mario Lopez	4:1

Avello uses both industry insiders and formulaic processing to derive the above odds for the show. He is known for accurately pegging winners in advance and boasts a near-perfect record with past predictions on shows such as "American Idol," "The Apprentice" and "Survivor." He will update his "Dancing with the Stars" odds each week until the series finale.

"This competition is all about fans at home. The fans will vote, but they will not necessarily vote based on talent. Master P. taught us that," says Avello, who sets the wagering line for Wynn Las Vegas, covers all on-site sports bets and nationwide horse racing and has also supplemented his sports focus with other entertainment odds-making including the Oscars, Emmys and Grammys.

Odds to win attached are for entertainment purposes only.

Steve Wynn Honored by Time Magazine's TIME 100 Issue

Article Names Wynn One of the World's Most Influential People

LAS VEGAS, May 8, 2006 -- "The lives and ideas of the world's most influential people" was the headline on the special May 8, 2006 issue of Time Magazine. Steve Wynn, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Wynn Resorts, Ltd. was honored in the "Builders and Titans" category of the publication. Those recognized as "Builders and Titans" were individuals who exhibit an extraordinary ability to influence the world of business. Time said these are people with "innovation, grand plans, style and substance." Some of the other notaries recognized in this category included: Sean (Diddy) Combs, Wall Street Investor Eddie Lampart, Xerox's Anne Mulcahy and MySpace.com creators Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson.

The article proclaimed Wynn "didn't invent Las Vegas -- he just makes it work," and praised him for being one of the world's best salesmen, real estate developers and "the gaming industry's most brilliant designer."

The opening of Wynn Las Vegas in April 2005 was highlighted for being significantly different from his previous properties (such as the Mirage, Bellagio and Treasure Island) because this time Wynn designed his resort from the "inside out." Stating Wynn's ability to cater to a multitude of different markets and cultures, the opening of Wynn Macau, scheduled for September 2006, was also mentioned.

Finally, the article said "in the next millennium, when people study the U.S. empire, they won't be looking at buildings created by Frank Lloyd Wright or Frank Gehry. They'll be looking at our temples of pleasure, the buildings where we packed in as much America as would fit. And, somehow, Steve Wynn has done it in a way we won't be ashamed of."
