Wynn Resorts has unveiled a long-awaited redesign of its proposed Massachusetts casino, giving regulators in the US state a glimpse of a gently curving bronze glass hotel tower resembling those of its signature resorts in Las Vegas and Macau.
Casino officials said the tower would reach the same 24-storey height as the previous design but will be wider, allowing the hotel to house 600 rooms, or about 100 more than initially proposed.
Wynn has also scrapped a planned nightclub along the proposed retail esplanade in favour of meeting and convention space. “This is a style we really like,” Robert DeSalvio, the company’s senior[http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png] vice president of development, said.
Wynn won the Boston area’s lone casino licence with a proposed $1.6bn complex on roughly 33 acres on the Everett waterfront overlooking Boston. But the state Gaming Commission deemed the initial hotel design too generic and asked the company to redesign it as a condition of awarding the licence.
