If Georgia lawmakers remove or amend the state’s constitution to allow gambling, Wynn Resorts and Boyd Gaming would be first in line to consider casino locations.
That’s what Christopher Gordon, president of the Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts and the casino operator’s development arm, Wynn Development, told Georgia lawmakers in the state’s House of Representatives study committee meeting on gaming this week. Ryan Soultz, vice president for government affairs at Boyd Gaming — also a Las Vegas-based casino company — told lawmakers they would love to be in Georgia should voters allow it, Bisnow reported.
If the proposal moves out of committee it would still have a steep hurdle to climb.
