Pitbull brought the party. But Craig Billings made it rain.
Mr. Worldwide (that’s Pitbull) performed an unannounced concert Wednesday night at Allegiant Stadium, a show dedicated to Day One employees at Wynn Las Vegas on the hotel’s 20th anniversary.
The total number of “Day Ones,” or “Twenties” is 1,691, on a team of 12,000.
Those folks learned during the event they had become shareholders in the company. Billings, Wynn’s CEO, announced from the stage a $10,000 stock grant for all Day One employees. Those staffers are now shareholders in the hotel they opened April 28, 2005, and have operated ever since.
They were all invited, along with a guest. About 1,500 turned out, with the total attendance at 3,000. This was a full sit-down dinner, featuring a red-carpet entry and employees’ names in lights ringing the stadium.
