Also, targeted investments in existing properties and enhancements in food and beverage offerings are expected to have contributed to the growth. We expect revenues from Macau operations to increase 0.9% year over year to $893 million.In Las Vegas, Wynn Resorts’ performance is likely to have benefited from a strong slot handle, elevated table drop and high-margin non-gaming revenues. Our model predicts the segment’s casino and room revenues to rise 3.2% and 1.2%, respectively, year over year.However, intense competition in Macau, short booking windows and limited demand visibility are expected to have weighed on second-quarter performance. In both Las Vegas and Macau, booking windows outside of group business are likely to have remained short. Moreover, elevated operating expenses are likely to have hurt the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. Increased casino and room expenses, along with high general and administrative costs, are expected to have weighed on profitability. Our model predicts second-quarter total operating expenses to rise 4.9% year over year to $1.54 billion.What Our Model Says About WYNN StockOur proven model predicts an earnings beat for Wynn Resorts this time around.
