WYNN BLOWOUT AND IT MAY NOT BE JUST MACAU

04/07/11 05:01PM EDT

WYNN should report an all-around monster quarter.  Vegas may be the biggest surprise.

What shouldn’t surprise investors is that we are 11% above the Street for Q1 Wynn Macau EBITDA.  What may surprise is that we are high on the Street for Las Vegas EBITDA.  A combination of strong hold and big volumes may have done the trick in Vegas.

We estimate that WYNN will report 1Q2011 net revenue of $1,230MM and EBITDA of $357MM; 8% and 17% ahead of Street estimates.
