He built the modern Las Vegas Strip. The Mirage. Treasure Island. The Bellagio. Then he lost all of it in a boardroom — and did it again with a $20 billion empire that carried his own name in gold letters fifteen feet tall.

This is the rise and ruin of Stephen Wynn: a bingo-hall kid from New Haven who inherited his father's gambling debts at twenty-one, moved to Las Vegas with nothing to lose, and reinvented the casino resort forever. He financed the impossible on junk bonds, hung Picassos and Van Goghs on his walls, and turned the Strip into a place tourists photographed — all while slowly going blind from a disease that narrowed his vision year by year.

In January 2018, a single newspaper investigation erased more than $2 billion of his company's value in one trading day. Eleven days later, he was gone. This is the story of how a man built an empire twice, and how the house finally took its percentage from the man who used to be the house.

???? If you love deep-dive stories about the people who built — and lost — empires, subscribe and hit the bell.
