Wynn Las Vegas has appointed former Neiman Marcus executive Frank Visconti as Senior Vice President of Retail.
In his new role, Mr. Visconti will oversee the expansion of the resort’s luxury retail offering and lead the continued development of Wynn Plaza, an expansive new 75,000-square-foot complex that will open its first phase in fall 2017 and is second phase in summer 2018.
