Wynn Resorts breaks into UK market for first time with prime Mayfair acquisition
WYNN RESORTS are set to enter the UK casino market for the first time after securing a deal to buy a prime London casino.
Wynn is poised to acquire members-only casino Crown London – formerly Aspinalls – in the stunning Mayfair district.
The venue spans two historic townhouses in the district with the offering of 20 gaming tables, a restaurant and entertainment lounge.
The purchase is subject to regulatory approvals but is expected to conclude at some stage later this year.
The casino will continue under the Crown London name until such a deal goes through.
Wynn currently operates the Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace in Macau.
While also running Encore Boston Harbor in Massachusetts.
This move into the UK market aligns with their plans to expand their presence in Europe and the Middle East.

Wynn Resorts CRO, Craig Billings said: “This acquisition of an iconic asset offers us a presence in a global gateway city and will create a conduit for Wynn guests to visit our resorts.
“Particularly Wynn Al Marjan Island which is slated to open in the first quarter of 2027 in Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates,.
