Tilman Fertitta boosting his stake in Wynn Resorts to nearly 12.6 million shares, or about 10.9% ownership, is a pretty power move in the land-based casino world. It shows strong confidence in Wynn’s future and gives Fertitta more influence in one of the top players on the Strip.

Given his background in hospitality and gaming, this increased shareholding could signal plans for deeper involvement or strategic input in Wynn’s direction. It’ll be interesting to watch how this impacts Wynn’s moves or if Fertitta seeks even greater control down the line.
