Vegas mogul Steve Wynn accused of forcing sex on manicurist, ordering masseuse to pleasure him

Billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn preyed on female employees for decades — forcing sex on a manicurist and pressuring a masseuse to pleasure him, a new report says.

The Las Vegas icon’s 2005 encounter with the manicurist led to a $7.5 million payoff, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The incident was one of several sickening episodes described by more than 150 current or former Wynn employees.

They included a wide range of inappropriate behavior:

• Wynn regularly walked around his complex in extremely short shirts without underwear.
• He often sat for pedicures in a way that exposed his genitals.
• He repeatedly propositioned his wife’s married assistant — calling her up to ask, “What are you wearing?” and “Why don’t you hang out with me?”
• He told one employee, “So when are you going to come into my office and f--k me?”
• He directed his longtime assistant to track down the home phone numbers of casino cocktail waitresses.
• Women workers were so afraid to be alone with him they sometimes hid in bathrooms when they learned he was on his way to the salon.
• Others scheduled fake appointments for women employees to avoid having to service him at his office in Wynn Resort.

“Everybody was petrified,” said Jorgen Nielsen, a former artistic director at the salon.

Wynn, who turned 76 on Saturday, in a statement to The Journal, sharply denied the claims of sexual assault and other allegations.

“The idea that I ever assaulted any woman is preposterous,” said Wynn, who built the Mirage, Bellagio and several other posh casinos.

“We find ourselves in a world where people can make allegations, regardless of the truth, and a person is left with the choice of weathering insulting publicity or engaging in multi-year lawsuits,” he added. “It is deplorable for anyone to find themselves in this situation.”
