The reason for this is that the Chinese government has to grant concessions to companies in order to build casinos. Currently Wynn Resorts is one of three companies with a license to build casinos on the strip. In addition, the Chinese government has given permission but only until the year 2017.

5) Degree of competitive rivalry – There is a very low degree of competitive rivalry with this expansion. This is primarily due to the “clout in the Wynn name” (Pearce & Robinson, p.30-9, 2011). This name symbolizes luxury and the best quality of service available everywhere. To continue to ensure this high ranking status, Wynn Resorts has implemented a new policy where pit bosses are rewarded for making customers happy. All of this provides for little opportunity for rivalry from other casinos.
Based on the analysis conducted through Porter’s Five Forces, Wynn Resorts will gain a sustainable competitive advantage by building an additional property. My recommendation would be to move forward with expansion paying close attention to ensuring client’s expectations are met while maintaining profits.
