Ive oftened asked myself similar questions as to why chips around that time had similar colours.

Was it a gaming commission thing?

No couldn’t have been. That would have been mentioned on PCF. All of his chips/denoms are very similar/consistently across all of his casinos. He was certainly involved.

Call it Wynn progression lol. Someone should do a best of mash up. Unfortunately Wynn probably won’t make it :-( Love the simplicity of the chips but such a drop from the magic of Bellagio and Mirage.
 
None anymore.

He inherited his Dads bingo hall and debt. Invested early in The Frontier I believe. Then made his splash on the Mirage. Really reinvented casinos becoming full blown “resorts” and was the reason The Strip boomed.

Then Treasure Island. Then Bellagio. Then Wynn and Encore.

Not sure when he owned what bc he sold them all, but that’s a quick breakdown.

I don’t know…the inlays always seemed a little juvenile to me.
Just not my thing, I guess.

I always thought the same thing but I can also be talked into it’s a badass theme. Pirates/Ships/Parrots are a cool theme and easy card mold tribute/theme to knock off without infringement.

^ I also think the casino was underwhelming.

He also bought the Golden Nugget in the early 1970s and owned it for two decades before building the Mirage (and then TI around the same time). Next he built the Bellagio before selling off the Mirage company, which covered all of the properties, to MGM. He then took that money and built Wynn/Encore.
 
I never thought of the consistency as a "branding" thing before, but it makes perfect sense.

Really what I see is pure laziness:

[intern] "So, Mr Wynn, what should we for with the chips for your new property?"

[S.Wynn] "Ehhh, whatever worked before."

[intern] "OK, no problem." (flips through old chip order invoices)

Are those Bellagio chips new or old? I was just there last year and picked up half a barrel of 1’s that look different.

New to chip collecting and I’m curious.
 
I remember the adds emphasizing how lucky we were that he finally put his own name on a casino because it was finally good enough.
