| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation In addition to the actions noted below, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Securities Class Action On February 20, 2018, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, District of Nevada) by John V. Ferris and Joann M. Ferris on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018. The complaint alleged, among other things, certain violations of federal securities laws and sought to recover unspecified damages as well as attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. On July 28, 2021, the court dismissed certain of plaintiffs' claims, including all claims against current CEO Craig Billings and the individual directors, and allowed other claims to proceed against the Company and several of the Company's former executive officers, including Matthew Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, and Steven Cootey. On March 2, 2023, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification and appointed lead counsel. On August 22, 2024, the parties reached an agreement to settle the action, in its entirety, for the amount of $70.0 million, of which the Company will contribute $9.4 million. The court preliminarily approved the settlement on October 10, 2024. The Company's $9.4 million net contribution toward the settlement is recorded within Property charges and other expenses within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Federal Investigation From time to time, the Company receives regulatory inquiries about compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The Company received requests for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California ("USAO") relating to its anti-money laundering policies and procedures, and beginning in 2020 received several grand jury subpoenas regarding various transactions at Wynn Las Vegas relating to certain patrons and agents who reside or operate in foreign jurisdictions. On September 6, 2024, Wynn Las Vegas entered into a non-prosecution agreement (the “NPA”) with the USAO and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) resolving such investigation. Pursuant to the NPA, Wynn Las Vegas agreed to forfeit $130.0 million in funds involved in transactions at issue and continue to make certain enhancements to its compliance program. The DOJ agreed that, subject to Wynn Las Vegas’s fulfillment of its obligations under the NPA, it will not bring any criminal charges against Wynn Las Vegas concerning the subject matter of its investigation, subject to standard reservations of rights and certain reserved claims. The NPA resolves all prior U.S. federal regulatory inquiries commenced in or about 2014 regarding compliance by Wynn Las Vegas with 18 U.S.C. § 1960 and the Bank Secrecy Act. The $130.0 million forfeiture is recorded within Property charges and other expenses within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
