Wynn Resorts has finalised its acquisition of an exclusive members-only casino in Mayfair, London.
The venue, which will be known as Wynn Mayfair, has a long history of providing private gambling in the wealthy London neighborhood. After approval from the UK Gambling Commission, Wynn will now take over the license from Crown Resorts.
Wynn Mayfair, at 27-28 Curzon Street, London, was established as the White Elephant Club and became legendary for hosting parties frequented by major Hollywood stars from Richard Burton to Charlie Chaplin.
A stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace and Savile Row
It was later converted into a casino by John Aspinall in 1992, who used the proceeds to establish several animal sanctuaries and zoos. A stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace and Savile Row, the venue consists of two townhouses with 20 tables, a rooftop terrace, public dining room, and several private gaming rooms.
Wynn has declined to release any of the financial details of the acquisition, and has also announced no plans regarding operational changes at the venue.
