POSTER, BREITLING JOIN WYNN LAS VEGAS

Wynn Las Vegas announced on Wednesday that Tim Poster and Tom Breitling have been named senior vice presidents of strategy and development, effective July 7.

The Wynn press release said, "As long-standing business partners, Tim and Tom have together helped to pioneer the online travel industry with the development and ultimate sale of Travelscape to Expedia. This Las Vegas-oriented travel company established a sales model that was eventually adopted and more fully exploited by the leading internet-based travel agencies.

After selling Travelscape, Poster and Breitling purchased the Golden Nugget and began revitalizing the classic casino property once owned by Steve Wynn.

“This is a very exciting time for our company as we prepare to expand both here in Las Vegas and in Asia." noted Wynn.

“Until now, we've only been limited by our human capital and our limited capacity to design, develop and operate resorts that live up to our standards. With the addition of Tim and Tom to our leadership team we have both improved our opportunities for success with our existing ventures and enhanced our ability to pursue new ones."
