Matthew Maddox, one of the longest-serving executives at Wynn Resorts, has replaced Steve Wynn as chief executive officer. Maddox, 42, joined Wynn Resorts in 2002, when Steve Wynn began rebuilding his casino empire from scratch. Maddox rose through the company’s ranks, working in Macau, then as chief financial officer and finally as president since November 2013. He was named chief executive officer by the company’s board late Tuesday after Wynn resigned amid sexual harassment allegations that threatened the company’s gaming licenses in the United States and Macau. “There is not a more trusted confidant than Maddox inside that company. He knows every inch of Wynn Resorts,’’ a Wall Street analyst said on the condition that he remain anonymous to maintain relations with the company. “However, he is rather young and hasn’t led a large group of people.’’ Maddox grew up in Mena, Arkansas, a town of 5,500 people just east of the Oklahoma border. Maddox graduated from Mena High School in 1994 at the top of his class and was voted “most likely to be remembered” by his roughly 120 classmates, according to the school’s yearbook. Maddox studied finance at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

The 32nd floor at Mandalay Bay, strongly associated with the Oct. 1 shooting, is going away. A shooter used a suite on the 32nd floor to kill 58 people at a Oct. 1 concert across the street. The floor wing where the shooter’s suite is located is still closed, the company said. Mandalay Bay is renumbering floors 31 through 34 and will now be called floors 56 through 59, MGM press service said Tuesday. The numbers will be changed by the end of the week, the company said. The 43-story building had an unorthodox floor numbering system before the shooting, counting 1 through 34 and 60 through 63. The Mandalay elevators will now indicate floors 1 through 30 and 56 through 63.

The house doesn’t always win, especially when the Patriots are in the Super Bowl and a mystery bettor riding an epic hot streak is on the other side. Caesars Palace sports book reported a seven-figure win on the Eagles’ 41-33 upset of New England in Super Bowl LII and the Westgate sports book reported a small win. But William Hill sports book reported a multimillion-dollar loss and most other Las Vegas sports books also lost on Sunday’s game. The mystery bettor reportedly won more than $10 million on at least $7.4 million in money-line bets on Philadelphia. When all the numbers are tallied, there’s a chance Nevada sports books might lose only their third Super Bowl in 28 years.
