LAS VEGAS -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) today issued the following statement in response to the counterclaim filed yesterday by Kazuo Okada, Aruze USA, Inc. and Universal Entertainment Corp.:

"Despite its enormous length and scurrilous allegations, the Okada response fails to contain any meaningful denial of the facts detailed in the Freeh Report or Governor Miller's conference call on February 21, 2012. Wynn Resorts looks forward to having Mr. Okada's actions and the Company's response presented to and adjudicated in court."
