      Employer hereby employs Employee during the Term hereinafter specified to serve
      in a managerial or executive capacity, under a title and with such duties not
      inconsistent with those set forth in paragraph 3 of this Agreement, as the
      same may be modified and/or assigned to Employee by Employer from time to time;
      provided, however, that no change in Employee’s duties shall be permitted if it
      would result in a material reduction in the level of Employee’s duties as in
      effect prior to the change, it being understood that, prior to a Change in
      Control, no change in Employee’s titles or reporting responsibilities shall in
      itself be a basis for finding a material reduction in the level of
      duties.

    

    3.           DUTIES
      OF EMPLOYEE.  Employee
      shall perform such duties assigned to Employee by Employer as are generally
      associated with the duties of President of Wynn Macau or such similar duties
      as
      may be assigned to Employee by Employer as Employer may
      determine.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Employee shall devote such
      time to Employer’s Affiliates as may be required by Employer, provided such
      duties are not inconsistent with Employee’s primary duties to Employer
      hereunder.

    

    4.           ACCEPTANCE
      OF EMPLOYMENT/TERMINATION OF 2006 EMPLOYMENT
      AGREEMENT.  Employee

    in
      this
      Agreement.  Employee hereby covenants and agrees that, during the Term
      of this Agreement, Employee will devote the whole of Employee’s normal and
      customary working time and best efforts solely to the performance of Employee’s
      duties under this Agreement and that, except upon Employer’s prior express
      written authorization to that effect, Employee shall not perform any services
      for any casino, hotel/casino or other similar gaming or gambling operation
      not
      owned by Employer or any of Employer’s Affiliates.

    

    As
      of
      the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all prior
      employment agreements (including, but not limited to, the Existing Agreement),
      change in control agreements and severance plans or agreements, whether written
      or oral, by and between Employee, on the one side, and Employer or any of
      Employer’s Affiliates, on the other side, or under which Employee is a
      participant.  For the avoidance of doubt, that certain Restricted
      Stock Agreement dated March 6, 2007 shall remain in full force and
      effect.  From and after the Effective Date, Employee shall be employed
      by Employer under the terms and pursuant to the conditions set forth in this
      Agreement.

    

    5.           TERM. 
      Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, the term of this
      Agreement (the “Term”) shall consist of five (5) years
      commencing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and terminating on the
      fifth Anniversary Date of the Effective Date.

    

    Following
      the Term, unless the parties
      enter into a new written contract of employment, (a) any continued employment
      of
      Employee shall be at-will, (b) any or all of the other terms and conditions
      of
      Employee’s employment may be changed by Employer at its discretion, with or
      without notice, and (c) the employment relationship may be terminated at any
      time by either party, with or without cause or notice.

    

    6.           SPECIAL
      TERMINATION
      PROVISIONS.  Notwithstanding
      the provisions of paragraph 5 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
      terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

     

    
      (a)           the
        death of Employee;

      (c)           the
        giving of written notice by Employer to Employee of the termination of this

      (d)           the
        giving of written notice by Employer to Employee of the termination of this
        Agreement without Cause, provided,
however,
        that, within ten (10) calendar days after such notice, Employer must tender
        the

      (e)           the
        giving of written notice by Employee to Employer upon a material breach of
        this
        Agreement by Employer, which material breach remains uncured for a period
        of
        thirty (30) days after the giving of such
        notice, provided,
        however,
        that, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such cure period without
        the
        cure having been effected, Employer must tender the Separation Payment to
        Employee;

      

      (f)           at
        Employee’s sole election in writing as provided in paragraph 16 of this
        Agreement, after both a Change of Control and as a result of Good Reason,
        provided,
however,
        that, within ten (10) calendar days after Employer’s receipt of Employee’s
        written election, Employer must tender the Separation Payment to Employee;
        or

      

      (g)           the
        giving of written notice by Employer to Employee of the termination of this
        Agreement following a termination of Employee’s License (as defined in
        Subparagraph 8(b) of this Agreement).

    In
      the
      event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of
      Subparagraph 6(a), (b), (c) or (g), Employer shall not be required to make
      any payments to Employee other than payment of Base Salary and vacation pay
      accrued but unpaid through the termination date.  In the event of a
      termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraph (d),
      (e) or (f), Employee will also be entitled to receive health benefits coverage
      for Employee and Employee’s dependents under the same plan(s) or arrangement(s)
      under which Employee was covered immediately before Employee’s termination, or
      plan(s) established or arrangement(s) provided by Employer or any of its
      Affiliates thereafter.  Such health benefits coverage shall be paid
      for by Employer to the same extent as if Employee were still employed by
      Employer, and Employee will be required to make such payments as Employee would
      be required to make if Employee were still employed by Employer.  The
      health benefits provided under this Paragraph 6 shall continue until the
      earlier of (x) the expiration of the period for which the Separation
      Payment is paid, (y) the date Employee becomes covered under any other
      group health plan not maintained by Employer or any of its Affiliates;
provided, however, that if such other group
      health plan excludes any pre-existing condition that Employee or Employee’s
      dependents may have when coverage under such group health plan would otherwise
      begin, coverage under this Paragraph 6 shall continue (but not beyond the
      period described in clause (x) of this sentence) with respect to such
      pre-existing condition until such exclusion under such other group health plan
      lapses or expires.  In the event of a termination of this Agreement
      pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 6, Employee shall not
      be entitled to any benefits pursuant to any severance plan in effect by Employer
      or any of Employer’s Affiliates.

    

    7.           COMPENSATION
      TO EMPLOYEE.  For and in
      complete consideration of Employee's full and faithful performance of Employee’s
      duties under this Agreement,

    Employer
      hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Employee, and Employee hereby covenants
      and agrees to accept from Employer, the following items of
      compensation:

     

    
      (a)           BASE
        SALARY.   Employer hereby covenants and
        agrees to pay to Employee, and Employee hereby covenants and agrees to accept
        from Employer, a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the rate of
        Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars (US$750,000.00) per annum payable
        in
        such weekly, bi-weekly or semi-monthly installments as shall be convenient
        to
        Employer.  Such Base Salary shall be exclusive of and in addition to
        any other benefits which Employer, in its sole discretion, may make available
        to
        Employee, including, but not limited to, those benefits described in
        Subparagraphs 7(b) through (f) of this Agreement.

      

      (b)           BONUS
        COMPENSATION.  Employee also will be
        eligible to receive a bonus at such times and in such amounts as Employer,
        in
        its sole, exclusive and unreviewable discretion, may determine.  The
        parties agree that for 2007, Employee’s target bonus is up to 100% of his Base
        Salary earned in 2007.    For the fiscal year 2008 and
        thereafter Employee shall participate in the Wynn Resorts, Limited Annual
        Performance Based Incentive Plan for Executive Officers (the “162(m)
        Plan”).

      

      (c)           EMPLOYEE
        BENEFIT PLANS. 
        Employer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall include Employee, if
        otherwise eligible, in any profit sharing plan, stock option plan, pension
        plan,
        retirement plan, disability or life insurance plan, medical and/or
        hospitalization plan, and/or any and all other benefit plans which may be
        placed
        in effect by Employer or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of Employer’s
        executives during the Term. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Employer’s or
        its Affiliates’ ability to adopt, amend or terminate any such benefit plans at
        any time prior to a Change of Control.

      

      (d)          EXPENSE
        REIMBURSEMENT.  During the Term and
        provided the same are authorized by Employer, Employer shall either pay directly
        or reimburse Employee for Employee’s reasonable expenses incurred for the
        benefit of Employer in accordance with Employer’s general policy regarding
        expense reimbursement, as the same may be amended, modified or changed from
        time
        to time.  Such reimbursable expenses shall include, but are not
        limited to, (i) reasonable entertainment and promotional expenses,
        (ii) gift and travel expenses, (iii) dues and expenses of membership
        in clubs, professional societies and fraternal organizations (upon Employer’s
        prior written approval), and (iv) the like.  Prior to
        reimbursement, Employee shall provide Employer with sufficient detailed invoices
        of such expenses in accordance with the then applicable guidelines of the
        Internal Revenue Service so as to entitle Employer to a deduction for such
        expenses.  When traveling under the terms of this Agreement, Employee
        shall be entitled to first class air travel.

      

                  (e)           VACATIONS
        AND HOLIDAYS.  Commencing as of the
        Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to (i) annual
        paid vacation leave in accordance with Employer’s standard policy therefor, but
        in no event less than three (3) weeks each year of the Term, to be taken
        at such
        times as selected by Employee and

      approved
        by Employer, and (ii) paid holidays (or, at Employer’s option, an
        equivalent number of paid days off) in accordance with Employer’s standard
        policy therefor.

      

      (f)           MACAU
        EXPENSES.  At Employer’s request,
        Employee has agreed to relocate his household to Macau, Special Administrative
        Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”), for such period of
        time as determined by Employer.  During such period that Employee
        actually has his and his family’s primary place of residence in Macau, Employer
        agrees to provide Employee at Employer’s sole cost and expense housing (in the
        form of a family house) for Employee and his immediate family at a level
        commensurate with Employee’s position.  In addition, Employer agrees
        to pay all reasonable costs of relocating Employee’s family from Hong Kong to
        Macau, as well as relocation back to Hong Kong or Singapore if Employee’s
        employment hereunder is terminated without cause during the Term in accordance
        with Sections 6(d), 6(e) or 6(f) hereunder.  In addition, throughout
        the Term, Employee shall have the use of one luxury automobile in Macau,
        at a
        standard that is suitable for a person holding Employee’s
        position.   Further, Employee shall be entitled to three return
        trips to Singapore or Ireland during each year of employment hereunder for
        himself, and his immediate family (business class).

      

      (g)           Intentionally
        deleted.

      

      (h)           BENEFITS
        DATE.  Employee's Benefits Date shall be
        used for determining Employee’s other benefits.

      

      (i)        
           EQUITY GRANT.  Employee has
        been advised that Employer is currently evaluating an equity grant program
        for
        senior executives.  At such time as a plan is adopted, Employee shall
        be included in such plan on terms acceptable to Employer in its sole
        discretion.

    8.          LICENSING
      REQUIREMENTS.

    

    (a)           Employer
      and Employee hereby covenant and agree that this Agreement may be subject to
      the
      approval of one or more gaming regulatory authorities (the “Gaming
      Authorities”) pursuant to the provisions of the applicable gaming
      regulatory statutes and the regulations promulgated thereunder
      (the“Gaming Laws”).  Employer and Employee hereby
      covenant and agree to use their best efforts, at Employer’s sole cost and
      expense, to obtain any and all approvals required by the Gaming
      Laws.  In the event that (i) an approval of this Agreement by the
      Gaming Authorities is required for Employee to carry out her duties and
      responsibilities set forth in paragraph 3 of this Agreement,
      (ii) Employer and Employee have used their best efforts to obtain such
      approval, and (iii) this Agreement is not so approved by the Gaming
      Authorities, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate and shall be null
      and void.

    

    (b)           Employer
      and Employee hereby covenant and agree that, in order for Employee to discharge
      the duties required under this Agreement, Employee may be required to apply
      for
      or hold a license, registration, permit or other approval as issued by

    the
      Gaming Authorities pursuant to the terms of the applicable Gaming Laws and
      as
      otherwise required by this Agreement (the
“License”).  In the event Employee fails to apply for
      and secure, or the Gaming Authorities refuse to issue or renew, or revoke or
      suspend any required License, then Employee, at Employer’s sole cost and
      expense, shall promptly defend such action and shall take such reasonable steps
      as may be required to either remove the objections, secure the Gaming
      Authorities’ approval, or reinstate the License, respectively.  The
      foregoing notwithstanding, if the source of the objections or the Gaming
      Authorities’ refusal to renew the License or their imposition of disciplinary
      action against Employee is any of the events described in Subparagraph 1(d)
      of this Agreement, then Employer’s obligations under this paragraph 8 shall
      not be operative and Employee shall promptly reimburse Employer upon demand
      for
      any expenses incurred by Employer pursuant to this
      paragraph 8.

    

    (c)           Employer
      and Employee hereby covenant and agree that the provisions of this
      paragraph 8 shall apply in the event Employee’s duties require that
      Employee also be licensed by such relevant governmental agencies other than
      the
      Gaming Authorities.

    

    9.           CONFIDENTIALITY.

    

    (a)            Employee
      hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that Employee shall not directly or
      indirectly use or disclose any Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, or
      Works
      of Authorship, whether in written, verbal, or model form, at any time or in
      any
      manner, except as required in the conduct of Employer’s business or as expressly
      authorized by Employer in writing.   Employee shall take all
      necessary and available precautions to protect against the unauthorized
      disclosure of Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, or Works of
      Authorship.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that such Confidential
      Information, Trade Secrets, or Works of Authorship are the sole and exclusive
      property of Employer or its Affiliate.

    

    (b)           Employee
      shall not remove from Employer’s premises any Confidential Information, Trade
      Secrets, Works of Authorship, or any other documents pertaining to Employer’s or
      its Affiliate’s business, unless expressly authorized by Employer in writing.
      Furthermore, Employee specifically covenants and agrees not to make any
      duplicates, copies, or reconstructions of such materials and that, if any such
      duplicates, copies, or reconstructions are made, they shall become the property
      of Employer or its Affiliate upon their creation.

    

    (c)           Upon
      termination of Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee shall turn over to
      Employer the originals and all copies of any and all papers, documents and
      things, including information stored for use in or with computers and software,
      all files, Rolodex cards, phone books, notes, price lists, customer contracts,
      bids, customer lists, notebooks, books, memoranda, drawings, or other documents:
      (i) made, compiled by, or delivered to Employee concerning any customer
      served by Employer or its Affiliate or any product, apparatus, or process
      manufactured, used, developed or investigated by Employer; (ii) containing
      any Confidential Information,

    Trade
      Secret or Work of Authorship; or (iii) otherwise relating to Employee’s
      performance of duties under this Agreement.  Employee further
      acknowledges and agrees that all such documents are the sole and exclusive
      property of Employer or its Affiliate.

    

    (d)           Employee
      hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that Employee shall not disclose to
      Employer, or any Affiliate, officer, director, employee or agent of Employer,
      any proprietary or confidential information or property, including but not
      limited to any trade secret, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device,
      method, technique or process, which Employee is prohibited by contract, or
      otherwise, to disclose to Employer (the “Restricted
      Information”).  In the event, Employer requests Restricted
      Information from Employee, Employee shall advise Employer that the information
      requested is Restricted Information and may not be disclosed by
      Employee.

    

    (e)           The
      obligations of this paragraph 9 are continuing and shall survive the termination
      of Employee’s employment with Employer.

    

    10.           RESTRICTIVE
      COVENANT/NO SOLICITATION.

    

      
      (a)          Employee hereby
      covenants and agrees that, during the remainder of the Term, notwithstanding
      a
      termination of this Agreement under paragraph 6, Employee shall not
      directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer,
      consultant, partner, member of a limited liability company, shareholder of
      a
      closely held corporation, or shareholder in excess of two percent (2%) of a
      publicly traded corporation, corporate officer or director, or in any other
      individual or representative capacity, engage or otherwise participate in any
      manner or fashion in any gaming or hotel business that is in competition in
      any
      manner whatsoever with the principal business activity of Employer or Employer’s
      Affiliates, in or about any market in which Employer or Employer’s Affiliates
      have or have publicly announced a plan for gaming or hotel
      operations.  Employee hereby further covenants and agrees that the
      restrictive covenant contained in this paragraph 11 is reasonable as to
      duration, terms and geographical area and that the same protects the legitimate
      interests of Employer, imposes no undue hardship on Employee, and is not
      injurious to the public.

    

      
      (b)          Employee hereby
      further covenants and agrees that, for the period described in
      Subparagraph 10(a), Employee shall not directly or indirectly, and Employee
      shall not suffer others to, solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any
      management level employee of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates with or on behalf
      of any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the
      principal business activity of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates, in or about
      any market in which Employer or Employer’s Affiliates have or plan gaming or
      hotel operations.

    

    (c)          Employee
      hereby further covenants and agrees that the restrictive covenants contained
      in
      this Section 10 are reasonable as to duration, terms and geographical area
      and that they protect the legitimate interests of Employer, impose no undue
      hardship on Employee, and are not injurious to the public. In
      the event that any of

     the
      restrictions and limitations contained in this Section 10 are deemed to exceed
      the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by Nevada law, the parties
      agree that a court of competent jurisdiction shall revise any offending
      provisions so as to bring this Section 10 within the maximum time, geographical
      or other limitations permitted by Nevada law.

    

    11.           BEST
      EVIDENCE.  This
      Agreement shall be executed in original and “Xerox” or photostatic copies and
      each copy bearing original signatures in ink shall be deemed an
      original.

    

    12.           SUCCESSION.  This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employer and
      Employee and their respective successors and assigns.

    

    13.           ASSIGNMENT.  Employee
      shall not assign this Agreement or delegate his duties hereunder without the
      express written prior consent of Employer thereto.  Any purported
      assignment by Employee in violation of this paragraph 13 shall be null and
      void
      and of no force or effect.  Employer shall have the right to assign
      this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, provided that this agreement shall
      be
      reassigned to Employer upon a sale of that Affiliate or substantially all of
      that Affiliate’s assets to an unaffiliated third party, provided further that,
      in any event, Employer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any
      successor of Employer that is not an affiliate of Employer.

    

    14.           AMENDMENT
      OR MODIFICATION.  This
      Agreement may not be amended, modified, changed or altered except by a writing
      signed by both Employer and Employee.

      LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
      construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong and Employee and Employer
