Wynn Reiterates Bellagio Talk; RJ Calls It "Breaking"

Nearly three weeks ago, Steve Wynn told Jon Ralston of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Las Vegas Sun that he'd be willing to consider buying Mirage properties back from MGM Mirage if the price was right. This somehow bafflingly never found its way into the Best of the West-winning Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Well, not until just now. Evidently, when Wynn tells it to Bloomberg News, it's real to the R-J and worthy of being flashed atop their site as "Breaking News."


And all that because Wynn told Bloomberg: "I’d be interested, if at the right price, whether it’s Bellagio or Circus Circus."

See? That's how you know he's just funning them, needling his old friend Kirk. Wynn wouldn't take ownership of Circus Circus if he could have it for free plus a lifetime buffet pass. But thanks, R-J, for bringing us the latest just as soon as it happens. Or something.
