Wynn Resorts reported slight gains in revenue and a slight loss in adjusted earnings in its third-quarter results on Monday.

“Our third-quarter results reflect healthy demand across our resorts, highlighted by strong mass-gaming win in Macau and solid non-gaming performance in Las Vegas,” said Wynn CEO Craig Billings. “Investments in our properties, our team, and our unique programming continue to extend our leadership position in each of our markets. We are also continuing to invest in growing the business with construction on Wynn Al Marjan Island rapidly advancing. We are confident the resort will be a must-see tourism destination in the UAE and expect that it will support strong long-term free-cash-flow growth.”
During the third quarter, the company contributed $18.2 million of cash into a 40%-owned joint venture building the Wynn Al Marjan Island development in the UAE, bringing its life-to-date cash contributions to the project to $532.6 million.
