WYNN LAS VEGAS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

(A WHOLLY OWNED INDIRECT SUBSIDIARY OF WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Wynn Las Vegas, LLC was formed on April 17, 2001 as a Nevada limited liability company. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Company” refer to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The sole member of the Company is Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). The sole member of Holdings is Wynn Resorts, Limited (“Wynn Resorts”). The Company was organized primarily to construct and operate “Wynn Las Vegas,” a destination resort and casino on the “Strip” in Las Vegas, Nevada. Wynn Las Vegas opened on April 28, 2005. On December 22, 2008, the Company expanded Wynn Las Vegas with the opening of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (“Encore”).

Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (“Wynn Capital”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated on June 3, 2002, solely for the purpose of obtaining financing for Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Capital is authorized to issue 2,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01. At September 30, 2011, the Company owned the one share that was issued and outstanding. Wynn Capital has neither any significant net assets nor has had any operating activity. Its sole function is to serve as the co-issuer of the mortgage notes described below. Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Capital together are hereinafter referred to as the “Issuers”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s investment in the 50%-owned joint venture operating the Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership inside Wynn Las Vegas is accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues credit in the form of “markers” to approved casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately 70% and 75% respectively, of the Company’s markers were due from customers residing in foreign countries, primarily in Asia. Business or economic conditions or other significant events in these countries could affect the collectibility of such receivables.

 

6


Table of Contents

Accounts receivable, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Company’s receivables to their estimated carrying amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific review of customer accounts as well as management’s experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions.

Inventories

Inventories consist of retail, food and beverage items, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value, and certain operating supplies. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, average and specific identification methods.

Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances

Casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in the customers’ possession. Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized when services are performed. Entertainment, retail and other revenue includes rental income which is recognized on a time proportion basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognized when the right to receive such rental income is established according to the lease agreements. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenues until services are provided to the customer.

Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives which are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Consequently, the Company’s casino revenues are reduced by discounts and points earned in the players club loyalty program.

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances is primarily included in casino expenses as follows (amounts in thousands):

Gaming Taxes

The Company is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues, subject to applicable adjustments. These gaming taxes are an assessment on the Company’s gaming revenues and are recorded as an expense within the “Casino” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, gaming taxes totaled approximately $8.9 million and $10 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, gaming taxes totaled approximately $34.1 million and $27.9 million, respectively.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs the first time the advertising takes place. Advertising costs incurred in development periods are included in pre-opening costs. Once a project is completed, advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010,

Table of Contents

advertising costs totaled approximately $4.6 million and $4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising costs totaled approximately $10.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation related to equity shares of Wynn Resorts granted to its employees by recognizing the costs of the employee services received in exchange for the equity award instrument based on the grant date fair value of the awards over the service period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $6 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in share based compensation with a corresponding credit to contributed capital.

 

3. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 totaled approximately $157.5 million and $107 million, respectively. Interest capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $0.6 million. There was no interest capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, capital expenditures include a decrease of approximately $7.5 million and $7.6 million respectively, in construction payables and retention recorded through amounts due to affiliates.

Revolving Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2011, no amounts were outstanding under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company had $19.5 million of outstanding letters of credit that reduce its availability under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolving Credit Facilities. Accordingly, the Company has availability of $347.5 million under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolving Credit Facilities as of September 30, 2011.

Debt Covenant Compliance

As of September 30, 2011, management believes the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Fair Value of Long-term Debt

The net book value of the Company’s outstanding first mortgage notes was approximately $2.2 billion at both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding first mortgage notes, based on quoted market prices, was approximately $2.3 billion at both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The net book value of the Company’s other debt instruments was approximately $406.6 million and $432 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s other debt instruments was approximately $397.7 million and $426.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

 

7. Interest Rate Swap

The Company has entered into floating-for-fixed interest rate swap arrangements in order to manage interest rate risk relating to certain of its debt facilities. These interest rate swap agreements modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate. These

Table of Contents

interest rate swaps essentially fix the interest rate at the percentages noted below; however, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for each reporting period have been recorded as an increase/decrease in swap fair value in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as the interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company measures the fair value of its interest rate swaps on a recurring basis pursuant to accounting standards for fair value measurements. These standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company categorizes these interest rate swaps as Level 2.

The Company currently has one interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities. Under this swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 2.485% on borrowings of $250 million incurred under the Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fixes the interest rate on $250 million of borrowings at approximately 5.485%. This interest rate swap agreement matures in November 2012. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of this interest rate swap was a liability of $6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Corporate Allocations

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include allocations from Wynn Resorts for legal, accounting, human resources, information services, real estate, and other corporate support services. The corporate support service allocations have been determined on a basis that Wynn Resorts and the Company consider to be reasonable estimates of the utilization of service provided or the benefit received by the Company. Wynn Resorts maintains corporate offices at Wynn Las Vegas without charge from the Company. The Company settles these corporate allocation charges with Wynn Resorts on a periodic basis as discussed in

Villa Suite Lease

On March 18, 2010, Mr. Wynn and Wynn Las Vegas entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease (the “SW Lease”) for a villa to serve as Mr. Wynn’s personal residence. The SW Lease amends and restates a prior lease. The SW Lease was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The term of the SW lease commenced as of March 1, 2010 and runs concurrent with Mr. Wynn’s employment agreement with the Company; provided that either party may terminate on 90 days notice. Pursuant to the SW Lease, the rental value of the villa will be treated as imputed income to Mr. Wynn, and will be equal to the fair market value of the accommodations provided. Effective March 1, 2010, and for the first two years of the term of the SW Lease, the rental value will be $503,831 per year. The rental value for the villa will be re-determined every two years during the term of the lease by the Audit Committee, with the assistance of an independent third-party appraisal. Certain services for, and maintenance of, the villa is included in the rental.

On March 17, 2010, Elaine P. Wynn and Wynn Las Vegas entered into an Agreement of Lease (the “EW Lease”) for the lease of a villa suite as Elaine P. Wynn’s personal residence. The EW Lease was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the EW Lease, Elaine P. Wynn paid annual rent equal to $350,000, which amount was determined by the Audit Committee with the assistance of a third-party appraisal. Certain services for, and maintenance of, the villa suite were included in the rental. The EW Lease superseded the terms of a prior agreement. The term of the EW lease commenced as of March 1, 2010 and was scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2010. The lease was extended on a month-to-month basis after December 31, 2010 and was terminated on March 31, 2011.

The “Wynn” Surname Rights Agreement

On August 6, 2004, Holdings entered into agreements with Mr. Wynn that confirm and clarify Holding’s rights to use the “Wynn” name and Mr. Wynn’s persona in connection with casino resorts. Under the parties’ Surname Rights Agreement, Mr. Wynn granted Holdings an exclusive, fully paid-up, perpetual, worldwide license to use, and to own and register trademarks and service marks incorporating the “Wynn” name for casino resorts and related businesses, together with the right to sublicense the name and marks to its affiliates.

Overview

We are a developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. We currently own and operate Wynn Las Vegas, a destination casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, which opened on April 28, 2005. On December 22, 2008, we expanded Wynn Las Vegas with the opening of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (“Encore”). We believe Wynn Las Vegas is the preeminent destination casino resort on the Strip in Las Vegas.

Our Las Vegas resort complex features:

 

   

Approximately 186,000 square feet of casino space, offering 24-hour gaming and a full range of games, including private gaming salons, a sky casino, a poker room, and a race and sports book;

 

   

Two luxury hotel towers with a total of 4,750 spacious hotel rooms, suites and villas;

 

   

35 food and beverage outlets featuring signature chefs;

 

   

A Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership;

 

   

Approximately 97,000 square feet of high-end, brand-name retail shopping, including stores and boutiques by Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Graff, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik, Oscar de la Renta, Vertu and others;

 

   

Recreation and leisure facilities, including an 18-hole golf course, swimming pools, private cabanas and two full service spas and salons;

 

   

Two showrooms; and

 

   

Three nightclubs and a beach club.

Construction and Future Development

In response to our evaluation of our property and the reactions of our guests, we have and expect to continue to remodel and make enhancements and refinements to our resort complex. In January 2011, we completed a refurbishment and upgrade to the resort rooms at Wynn Las Vegas. A remodel of the suites was completed in early May 2011. These remodels were completed at a cost of $61 million, substantially less than the project budget of $83 million.

Approximately 142 acres of land immediately adjacent to Wynn Las Vegas is currently improved with a golf course. While we may develop this property in the future; due to the current economic environment and certain restrictions in our credit facilities, we have no immediate plans to develop this property.

Results of Operations

We offer gaming, hotel accommodations, dining, entertainment, retail shopping, convention services and other amenities at Wynn Las Vegas I Encore. We currently rely solely upon the operations of this resort complex for our operating cash flow. Concentration of our cash flow in one resort complex exposes us to certain risks that competitors, whose operations are more diversified, may be better able to control. In addition to the concentration of operations in a single resort complex, many of our customers are premium gaming customers who wager on credit, thus exposing us to credit risk. High-end gaming also increases the potential for variability in our results.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we benefited from a higher than normal table games win percentage, improved ADR, and an overall increase in all other revenue streams including entertainment, food and beverage. While we experienced a decrease in occupancy rate over the prior year, we were able to achieve an increase in average daily rate as we adjusted rates in an effort to attract a higher quality customer who would take advantage of all aspects of our resort. While we benefited from higher win percentages on our table games and higher non-casino revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the economic environment in the Las Vegas market remains uncertain.

We recorded a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $49.5 million compared to a net loss of $135 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a net loss of $50.6 million compared to a net loss of $285.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This improvement was primarily a result of increased departmental profits, especially in the casino department and the hotel department. See below for a more detailed discussion regarding our results.

Certain key operating statistics specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussions of the Company’s operational performance for the periods in which a condensed consolidated statement of operations is presented. Below are definitions of the statistics discussed:

 

   

Table games win is the amount of drop that is retained and recorded as casino revenue.

 

   

Drop is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table’s drop box.

 

   

Slot win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained and is recorded as casino revenue.

 

   

Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing total room revenue by total rooms occupied.

 

   

Revenue per Available Room (“REVPAR”) is calculated by dividing total room revenue by total rooms available.

Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are comprised of $126.9 million in casino revenues (36.5% of total net revenues) and $220.3 million of net non-casino revenues (63.5% of total net revenues). Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were comprised of $138.4 million in casino revenues (41.4% of total net revenues) and $196.1 million of net non-casino revenues (58.6% of total net revenues).

Casino revenues are comprised of the net win from our table games and slot machine operations. We experienced a decrease in casino revenues of approximately $11.5 million (8.3%) to $126.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $138.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we experienced a 10.7% increase in drop that was offset by a decrease in the average table games win percentage compared to the prior year quarter. Our average table games win percentage (before discounts) of 18.3% was below the expected range of 21% to 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our average table games win percentage (before discounts) was 22.8%. Slot machine handle decreased 2.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 2010, however slot machine win increased 11.2% compared to the prior year quarter as our hold percentage increased.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, room revenues were approximately $89.7 million, which represents a $14.1 million (18.7%) increase over the $75.6 million generated in the three months ended September 30, 2010. Room rates increased during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, as we adjusted rates to attract a higher quality customer who would take advantage of all aspects of our resort. Also contributing to this increase was a slight increase in our occupancy. See the table below for key operating measures related to our room revenue.

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
 
         2011             2010      

Average Daily Rate

   $ 240      $ 210   

Occupancy

     88.3     87.8

REVPAR

   $ 212      $ 184   

Other non-casino revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011, which included food and beverage revenues of approximately $119.3 million, retail revenues of approximately $21.8 million, entertainment revenues of approximately $21.9 million, and other revenues from outlets, including the spa and salon, of approximately $13.5 million improved over the prior year quarter. Other non-casino revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 included: food and beverage revenues of approximately $111.8 million, retail revenues of approximately $20.7 million, entertainment revenues of approximately $18.1 million, and other revenues from outlets such as the spa and salon, of approximately $13.2 million. Food and beverage revenues increased primarily due to business in our nightclubs, catering business and restaurants. Entertainment revenues increased over the prior year quarter primarily due to increased revenue from Garth Brooks performances and the LeReve production show.

Departmental, Administrative and Other Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, departmental expenses included casino expenses of $71 million, room expense of $30.4 million, food and beverage expenses of $68.5 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $36.5 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses of $57.6 million and $5.4 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, departmental expenses included casino expense of $70.7 million, room expense of $29.9 million, food and beverage expense of $67.6 million, and entertainment, retail and other expense of $35.9 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses $59.1 million and $2.5 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable.

Room expenses were essentially flat as the increase in revenue was due to increased average daily rates. Food and beverage expenses increased commensurate with the increase in revenues. Entertainment, retail and other expense increased primarily due to additional Garth Brooks performances compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of lower property tax expense and reduced utility costs.

Management fees

Since opening Wynn Las Vegas, management fees payable to Wynn Resorts for certain corporate management services have been charged and accrued at a rate equal to 1.5% of net revenues. These fees will be paid upon meeting certain leverage ratios and satisfying certain other criteria set forth in our credit facilities and the First Mortgage Notes indentures. Management fees were $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $66.5 million compared to $63.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Property charges and other

Property charges and other for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $6.6 million compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Property charges and other for the three months ended September 30, 2011, include miscellaneous renovations and abandonments at our resort, including modifications to the Encore retail esplanade and the closure of the Blush nightclub. Property charges and other for the three months ended September 30, 2010 include a contract termination payment of $14.9 million related to a management contract for certain of the nightclubs at Wynn Las Vegas. The remaining charges were for miscellaneous renovations and abandonments.

In response to our evaluation of our resort complex and the reactions of our guests, we continue to make enhancements. The costs relating to assets retired as a result of these enhancement and remodel efforts will be expensed as property charges.

Other non-operating costs and expenses

Interest expense was $50.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $51.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. There was no capitalized interest during the three months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010. Interest expense decreased approximately $1.1 million primarily due to decreased outstanding balances on the Wynn Las Vegas Revolver.

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase (or decrease) in swap fair value in each period. We recorded a gain of $1.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap from June 30, 2011 to September 30, 2011. We recorded an expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, resulting from the decrease in the fair value of our interest rate swap from June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

As described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed a tender offer for our then outstanding 6 5/8% First Mortgage Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) and subsequent call of all the remaining amounts once the tender was completed. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $65.1 million. This included the tender offer consideration, the call premium and the related write off of the unamortized debt issue costs and original issue discount. Also, in April 2010 we completed an exchange offer for a portion of the 2014 Notes. In connection with that exchange offer, the direct costs incurred with third parties of $1.2 million were expensed.

Financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are comprised of $479.4 million in casino revenues (42.3% of total net revenues) and $653.9 million of net non-casino revenues (57.7% of total net revenues). Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were comprised of $395.1 million in casino revenues (40.7% of total net revenues) and $576.3 million of net non-casino revenues (59.3% of total net revenues).

Casino revenues are comprised of the net win from our table games and slot machine operations. We experienced an increase in casino revenues of $84.3 million (or 21.3%) to $479.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $395.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we experienced an 11.6% increase in drop and an increase in the average table games win percentage compared to the prior year. Our average table games win percentage (before discounts) of 25.4% was above the expected range of 21% to 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our average table games win percentage (before discounts) was 22.1%. Slot machine handle increased 2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 2010 and slot machine win increased 9.2% compared to the prior year.

While we experienced a slight decrease in occupancy over the prior year, we were able to achieve an increase in Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) as we adjusted rates to attract a high quality customer who would take advantage of all aspects of our resort. See the table below for key operating measures related to our room revenue.

The increase in food and beverage revenue is due primarily to business in our nightclubs including the opening of the Encore Beach Club and Surrender nightclub in May 2010. Entertainment revenues increased over the prior year primarily due to performances by Garth Brooks in the Encore Theater and the Sinatra “Dance with Me” show which ended its run on April 23, 2011.

Departmental, Administrative and Other Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, departmental expenses included casino expenses of $225.1 million, room expenses of $91.4 million, food and beverage expenses of $200 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $111.1 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses of approximately $167.6 million and approximately $13.9 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable.

Also included are general and administrative expenses of approximately $176 million and approximately $11.8 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable.

Room expenses were flat as the increase in revenue was due to increased average daily rates. Food and beverage expenses increased commensurate with the increase in revenues. Entertainment, retail, and other expense increased primarily as a result of the Sinatra “Dance with Me” show that began in December 2010 and ended its run in April 2011, as well as additional performances by Garth Brooks compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of lower property tax expense and reduced utility costs.

Management fees

Since opening Wynn Las Vegas, management fees payable to Wynn Resorts for certain corporate management services have been charged and accrued at a rate equal to 1.5% of net revenues. These fees will be paid upon meeting certain leverage ratios and satisfying certain other criteria set forth in our credit facilities and the First Mortgage Notes indentures. Management fees were $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Pre-opening costs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred no pre-opening costs. Pre-opening costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $2.1 million were related the Encore Beach Club which opened in May 2010.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $198.6 million compared to $209.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to assets with a 5-year life being fully depreciated as of April 2010 at Wynn Las Vegas, off set by depreciation of the assets of the Encore Beach Club which were placed into service in May 2010.

Property charges and other

Property charges and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $11.2 million compared to $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Property charges and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, include miscellaneous renovations and abandonments at our resort, including modifications of the Encore retail esplanade and the closure of the Blush nightclub. Property charges and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 also includes the write off of certain costs related to the Sinatra “Dance with Me” show that ended its run earlier in the year.

Property charges and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, include a contract termination payment of $14.9 million related to a management contract for certain of the nightclubs at Wynn Las Vegas and miscellaneous renovations and abandonments.

In response to our evaluation of our resort complex and the reactions of our guests, we continue to make enhancements. The costs relating to assets retired as a result of these enhancement and remodel efforts will be expensed as property charges.

Other non-operating costs and expenses

Interest expense was $151 million, net of capitalized interest of $0, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $142.7 million, net of capitalized interest of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our interest expense increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher interest rates on the First Mortgage Notes and the Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan Facilities. This increase was partially offset by reduced outstanding balances on the Wynn Las Vegas Revolver.

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase (or decrease) in swap fair value in each period. We recorded a gain of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011. We recorded an expense of $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, resulting from the decrease in the fair value of our interest rate swap from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

As described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in April 2010 we completed an exchange offer for a portion of our outstanding 6 5/8% First Mortgage Notes, due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”). In connection with that exchange offer, the direct costs incurred with third parties of $4.4 million were expensed. Then in the third quarter of 2010, we completed a tender offer for the then outstanding 2014 Notes and subsequent call of all the remaining amounts once the tender was completed. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $65.1 million. This included the tender offer consideration, the call premium and the related write off of the unamortized debt issue costs and original issue discount.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow from Operations

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of our operating income generated by our resort complex (excluding depreciation and other non-cash charges), interest paid, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games

revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium international customers who gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail, and other revenue is conducted primarily on a cash basis or as a trade receivable. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivables.

Net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $170.6 million compared to $79.3 million provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to the increase in operating income as a result of increased casino and rooms department profitability. Cash flow from operations were negatively impacted by a $50 million increase in cash paid for interest as our interest payment dates changed with the refinancing we completed last year and ordinary changes in working capital.

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, we had approximately $157 million of cash and cash equivalents available for use without restriction, including for operations, debt service and retirement, new development activities, enhancements to Wynn Las Vegas and Encore and general corporate purposes. We require a certain amount of cash on hand for operations. We believe that our existing cash balances, cash flows from operations and availability under our credit facility will be adequate to satisfy our anticipated uses of capital during 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $347.5 million available to draw under our Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities. Except for scheduled quarterly payments on one note payable, we have no debt maturities until July 2013.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were approximately $44.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and related primarily to the room and suite remodel that began last year. Capital expenditures were approximately $108.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and related primarily to the Encore Beach Club and Surrender Nightclub and a room remodel project.

Financing Activities

As of September 30, 2011, our Wynn Las Vegas credit facilities, as amended, (collectively the “Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities”) consisted of a $108.5 million revolving credit facility, due July 2013 and a $258.4 million revolving credit facility due July 2015 (together the “Wynn Las Vegas Revolver”), and a fully drawn $40.3 million term loan facility due August 2013 and a fully drawn $330.6 million term loan facility due August 2015 (together the “Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we repaid approximately $20.1 million of borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolver and repurchased $4 million of Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan. As of September 30, 2011, the Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan was fully drawn and we had no borrowings outstanding under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolver. We had $19.5 million of outstanding letters of credit that reduce our availability under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolver. Accordingly, we have availability of approximately $347.5 million under the Wynn Las Vegas Revolver as of September 30, 2011.

At Wynn Las Vegas, we currently have three first mortgage note issues outstanding; the 7 7/8% $500 million First Mortgage Notes due 2017, the 7 7/8% $352 million First Mortgage Notes due 2020 and the 7 3/4% $1.3 billion First Mortgage notes due 2020 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities noted above. The Notes are senior secured obligations of Wynn Las Vegas guaranteed by certain of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC.’s subsidiaries and are secured on an equal and ratable basis (with certain exceptions) by a first priority lien on substantially all of the existing and future assets of Wynn Las Vegas, and subject to prior approval from the Nevada gaming authorities, a first priority lien on the equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes during the quarter to our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Other Liquidity Matters

We are restricted under the indentures governing the First Mortgage Notes from making certain “restricted payments” as defined in the indentures. These restricted payments include the payments of dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect holders of equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. These restricted payments may not be made until certain other financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the credit facilities contain similar restrictions.

Wynn Las Vegas, LLC will fund its operations and capital requirements from operating cash flow and availability under our credit facilities. We cannot be sure that Wynn Las Vegas, LLC will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings that are available to us, if any, will be sufficient to enable us to service and repay Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s indebtedness and to fund its other liquidity needs. We cannot be sure that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.

On a continuing basis, we, our subsidiaries, and/or Wynn Resorts will evaluate, depending on market conditions, purchasing, refinancing, exchanging, tendering for or retiring certain of our outstanding debt in privately negotiated transactions, open market transactions or by other direct or indirect means.

New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in Las Vegas, as well as other domestic or international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any other development would require us to obtain additional financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes to these policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risks

Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, and in the past by using hedging activities. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations. We do not use derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Swaps

As of September 30, 2011, we have one interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement. Under this swap agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 2.485% on borrowings of $250 million incurred under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit

Agreement in exchange for receipts on the same amount at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. This interest rate swap fixes the interest rate on $250 million of borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Agreement at approximately 5.485%. This interest rate swap agreement matures in November 2012. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap have and will continue to be recorded as an Increase (decrease) in swap fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the swap does not qualify for hedge accounting.

As of September 30, 2011, our interest rate swap had an approximate liability fair value of $6 million and is included in long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value approximates the amount we would have paid if this contract had settled at the valuation date. Fair value is estimated based upon current, and predictions of future, interest rate levels along a yield curve, the remaining duration of the instruments and other market conditions, and therefore, is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of September 30, 2011, approximately 94% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates including the notional amount of our swap. Based on our borrowings as of September 30, 2011, an assumed 1% change in variable rates would cause our annual interest cost to change by $1.6 million.

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
