LAS VEGAS—(July 31, 2017) Wynn Las Vegas’ Race & Sports Book returns on August 1 with a full renovation. The space offers guests a luxurious, yet comfortable space to enjoy live sporting and racing events, place wagers on current and future events or enjoy a casual bite at the adjacent Charlie’s Bar + Grill. Conceptualized by Executive Vice President of Wynn Design and Development Roger Thomas and his team, the space features state-of-the-art technology and is custom designed for functionality, comfort and spaciousness, while maintaining its relaxed atmosphere.

Offering guests a viewing angle of 160 degrees horizontally and vertically, the sweeping curve layout also allows for maximized views of an additional 35 television monitors. A large bar on the casino level seats 22 guests and seamlessly separates the sports books from Charlie’s Bar + Grill. Betting desks are distinguished by 28 historic jockey silks in high chromatic contrast. The streamlined and open individual guest desks feature USB ports and power outlets, as well as task lighting with plush executive swivel and tilt seating. Guests can view race and sports events from one of 41 regular carrels and eight VIP carrels. Additional design features include 49 general seats and 40 VIP seats, which offer private elevated areas with custom sofas and tables.

“The impressive technological advancements and updated design of the new Wynn Race & Sports Book will take the guest experience to a completely new level, positioning Wynn Las Vegas as the ultimate sports book destination,” said Johnny Avello, executive director of race and sports book operations. “We are also excited to debut a second fully operational Race & Sports Book dedicated to Encore, with all the amenities and services offered at Wynn.”
