LAS VEGAS, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn Las Vegas
is among the first resorts in the world to become Sharecare
Health Security VERIFIED™ with Forbes Travel Guide. The
comprehensive facility verification helps ensure that guests can
book with confidence at a resort that has consistent and robust
health safety procedures in place.
Wynn has worked closely with a team of public health professionals
to create a transparent health and safety program.
"We have worked tirelessly to develop rigorous health and safety
practices to ensure that our guests feel safe when visiting," said
Marilyn Spiegel, president of Wynn
Las Vegas and Encore. "This verification is a testament to
our efforts as we continue to offer our guests the latest health
safety advancements and the very best five-star resort
experience."
The Sharecare Health Security verification comes with an easily
identifiable "seal of approval" – the Sharecare VERIFIED™ with
Forbes Travel Guide badge – based on a hotel's compliance with
expert-validated best practices that minimize the risk and impact
of COVID-19 and potential future public health events.
Developed by Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on
hospitality excellence, and digital health industry leader
Sharecare, the comprehensive verification covers more than 360
standards across health and hygiene protocols, cleaning products
and procedures, ventilation, physical distancing, the guest
experience, and health safety communication with guests and
employees. Hotels are required to verify their health protocols on
an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance with the most
up-to-date global health standards.
"The pandemic has made it clear that hotels and resorts must,
first and foremost, assure guests of their safety," said
Filip Boyen, CEO of Forbes Travel
Guide. "By becoming VERIFIED™, Wynn Las Vegas has
demonstrated its commitment to creating a culture of accountability
and following global best practices to heighten health security,
certified by a third party."
Wynn Las Vegas has worked closely with a team of leading medical
and public-health professionals to create its clear and transparent
Health and Safety program based on the most effective practices
available.
The resort's full Health and Safety plan is
available at

Wynn Las Vegas recently opened an onsite COVID-19 vaccination
center in conjunction with University Medical Center. This
unique partnership was formed to increase distribution of the
vaccine throughout Las Vegas, and
to assist in the state's recovery from the pandemic. In the
coming weeks, the resort will debut an onsite COVID-19 testing lab
that will offer PRC testing, known as the "gold standard" of tests
for its accuracy in detecting the virus, to employees, hotel
guests, and meetings and convention groups.

About Wynn Resorts COVID-19 Relief Efforts
Wynn
Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) is committed to protecting our
employees, working for the health and safety of our guests, and
taking care of our communities impacted by COVID-19 with relief
efforts that fill financial and supply chain gaps where they matter
most. The donation and volunteer strategies follow an extensive
financial protection plan implemented by Wynn Resorts CEO
Matt Maddox that began with a
$250 million investment that ensured
all 15,000 Wynn employees in North
America received their full wage during the
government-mandated shutdown.
To provide relief to first responders and protection to those
suffering the financial impact of the crisis, the Company procured
and donated more than $3 million
worth of financial aid, personal protective equipment, food and
prepared meals, and essential cleaning and hygiene supplies to
dozens of health care facilities and local nonprofit organizations
throughout Las Vegas and
Greater Boston. In May 2020, Wynn Las Vegas began providing all
employees with direct access to reliable and accurate COVID-19
tests on-site at no cost; and in early 2021 will debut a
custom-built state-of-the-art COVID-19 testing lab and mobile
health app available to resort guests.
