Wynn Resorts appoints former US Navy chief to board of directors

Admiral Johnson had a distinguished career in the U.S. Navy, retiring in July 2000, after serving as Chief of Naval Operations and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1996 until his retirement. Following his distinguished 32-year military career, he served in various senior executive roles at Dominion Resources Inc., a publicly traded energy company, including as chief executive officer of Dominion Virginia Power.

Johnson also served as chairman and chief executive officer of General Dynamics Corporation, a publicly traded manufacturer and market leader that employs more than 91,000 people worldwide in the areas of global defense, aerospace and other technology products. 

Admiral Johnson was appointed to the Board of Directors of Wynn on the same day as the debut of the Company's $4.2 billion resort, Wynn Palace, in Cotai, Macau in the People's Republic of China.

After six years of development, the spectacular new destination resort represents the culmination of Steve Wynn's more than 45 years of experience. The new resort, which opened on August 22, 2016 to fanfare and acclaim, launches a new era in Macau's evolution into a world center of tourism and leisure.

The new resort features 1,706 exquisitely furnished rooms, suites and villas, opulent floral displays of real flowers, an extensive collection of rare art on public display, a spa, meetings facilities, renowned retailers and a collection of gourmet dining restaurants.
