What\u2019s in a name?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re Wynn Resorts<\/strong>, quite a bit is riding on the name of its Boston Harbor<\/strong> casino project. In fact, the future of the company\u2019s $2.4 billion resort casino<\/strong> in Everett, Massachusetts<\/strong> could very well hinge on the name that adorns the side of the building.<\/p>\n

Wynn Resorts has come under fire to remove the name<\/strong> of its beleaguered former CEO from the side of its Wynn Boston Harbor project. Both the public and Massachusetts public officials, including the Governor and Attorney General<\/strong>, are calling for a name change.<\/p>\n

After originally dismissing the idea, there is an increasing amount of evidence<\/strong> that points to a name change being in the cards.<\/p>\n

Confirmation of the potential blockbuster development first came to light after Wynn executives appeared before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission after allegations against the company\u2019s former CEO Steve Wynn came to light.<\/p>\n

Following a Massachusetts Gaming Commission hearing last week, Wynn Boston Harbor President Robert DeSalvio<\/strong> confirmed the rumors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are absolutely considering a rebranding of the project and we\u2019ll have an announcement on that at a later date.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Local press uncovers possible new name: Encore<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Boston Herald<\/strong> is reporting<\/a> that Wynn Resorts recently registered several website domains<\/strong> that indicate the company\u2019s \u201cEncore<\/strong>\u201d brand is the leading candidate for a new name.<\/p>\n
