The 2024 Wynn Resorts Diversity Summit was an inspiration-filled, three-day event August 7–9 where key members of the Las Vegas community worked alongside Wynn Resort team members and executive leadership to celebrate diversity and promote inclusion and respect. The summit, led by Wynn’s Senior Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion Glenda Swain, was designed with three areas of focus: the workplace, the marketplace, and the community. Highlights included a Supplier Diversity Networking Reception where members of local Chambers of Commerce met with Wynn procurement teams and senior leadership as well as a Unity in the Community Service Project during which employees wrote “get well” and “thank you for your service” notes to veterans in the VA Hospital. The summit’s centerpiece event featured a Diversity Town Hall held in Wynn’s Margaux Ballroom which included a fire-side chat with Brian Gullbrants, COO Wynn North America and Daymond John – Billionaire and Star of the hit show “Shark Tank.” Mr. John is also the CEO and Founder of FUBU and The Shark Group, as well as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. He shared his insights on how to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset in the workplace. Important ideas, powerful conversations and a unified purpose shaped the event and helped build upon Wynn’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and respect within the workplace and beyond.

TBT: Did you know that one of the most critical innovations in golf was invented right here on the ground where Wynn Las Vegas stands? The story goes that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin wouldn't play a round at the Desert Inn Golf Course unless they had an adult "refreshment" in hand. So, the course management team devised the grand idea to convert a golf cart into a mobile bar so they could easily access cocktails anytime during the game. Hence, the beverage cart was born. Talk about five-star service. ⛳️🌟 #Wynn #WynnLasVegas #FrankSinatra #DeanMartin #ThrowBackThursday #TBT
