The Museum of Gaming History is growing and we need your support. The MoGH came to life in 2014 with the showing of exhibits at the El Cortez Hotel and the Mob Museum. We are working on showing several new exhibits in the coming year. The MoGH needs your support to fund these projects. We seek to grow the hobby by expanding interest in Gaming History.

1942 - New Haven Connecticut.   Stephen Alan "Steve" Wynn ( January 27, 1942) is an American business magnate known for his involvement in the luxury casino and hotel industry. Early in his career he oversaw the construction and operation of several historically notable Las Vegas and Atlantic City hotels, including the Golden Nugget, the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, The Mirage, Treasure Island, the Bellagio, and Beau Rivage in Mississippi, and he played a pivotal role in the resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas Strip in the 1990s. In 2000, Wynn sold his company Mirage Resorts to MGM Grand, resulting in the formation of MGM Mirage. Wynn afterward took his company Wynn Resorts public in an initial public offering, and he remains Wynn Resorts' CEO and Chairman of the Board. In 2018, Wynn was accused by dozens of people of sexual misconduct; he denies the allegations. Wynn stepped down as CEO of Wynn Resorts on February 6, 2018, because of these allegations. His name was also removed from a plaza on the campus of the University of Penn.
