Note 1 - Organization
Organization
Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Wynn Resorts" or the "Company"), is a designer, developer, and operator of integrated resorts featuring luxury hotel rooms, high-end retail space, an array of dining and entertainment options, meeting and convention facilities, and gaming.
In the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau"), the Company owns approximately 72 % of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), which includes the operations of the Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau resorts. The Company refers to Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau as its Macau Operations. In Las Vegas, Nevada, the Company operates and, with the exception of certain retail space, owns 100 % of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, the Company is a 50.1 % owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). The Company refers to Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture as its Las Vegas Operations. On June 23, 2019, the Company opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts, that is owned 100 % by the Company. In October 2020, Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive") was formed through the merger of the Company's U.S. online sports betting and gaming business, social casino business, and Wynn Resorts' strategic partner, BetBull Limited ("BetBull"). Wynn Resorts holds an approximately 74 % interest in, and consolidates, Wynn Interactive. The results of Wynn Interactive's operations are presented within Corporate and other in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, except where otherwise noted.
Recent Developments Related to COVID-19
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, steps have been taken by various countries, including those in which the Company operates, to advise citizens to avoid non-essential travel, to restrict inbound international travel, to implement closures of non-essential operations, and to implement quarantines and lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus. As part of the immediate response to the initial outbreak of COVID-19, each of the Company's properties was subject to partial or full closure for varying lengths of time during 2020, and have all since reopened. Several vaccines have been granted authorization in numerous countries and are being rolled out to citizens based on availability and priority of need. There can be no assurance as to when a sufficient number of individuals will be vaccinated, permitting travel restrictions to be fully lifted.
Macau Operations
Visitation to Macau has fallen significantly since the outbreak of COVID-19, driven by the strong deterrent effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and social activities, quarantine measures in Macau and elsewhere, travel and entry restrictions and conditions in Macau, the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan involving COVID-19 testing, among other things, and the suspension or reduced accessibility of transportation to and from Macau. Beginning in June 2020 certain restrictions and conditions have eased to allow for visitation to Macau as certain regions recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine-free travel, subject to COVID-19 safeguards such as testing and the usual visa requirements, has been reintroduced between Macau and most areas and cities within the PRC, and in September 2020, PRC authorities fully resumed the IVS exit visa program, which permits individual PRC citizens from nearly 50 PRC cities to travel to Macau for tourism purposes. On August 3, 2021, in response to a risk of a community outbreak, the government of Macau has announced enhanced measures including tighter border control and strict mandatory COVID-19 testing requirements.
Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor
The Company’s Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor had each implemented certain COVID-19 specific protective measures, such as limiting the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and suspension of certain entertainment and nightlife offerings. On April 8, 2021, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas resumed full operations. On May 3, 2021, the Company's Las Vegas Operations were permitted by the Nevada Gaming Control Board to reopen all gaming areas to 100 % of capacity, with no continuing table game or slot machine spacing restrictions. On July 27, 2021, the Governor of Nevada issued an emergency directive, in accordance with new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, re-imposing mask protection requirements in all public indoor areas effective July 30, 2021. At Encore Boston Harbor, on January 25, 2021, limitations on operating hours that had been in place since November 2020 were lifted, and the property restored certain operations and reopened its hotel tower on a Thursday through Sunday schedule. On April 27, 2021, the Governor of Massachusetts announced a phased plan for further reopening and on May 28, 2021 signed an
WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)
executive order rescinding the COVID-19 related restrictions and limitations on businesses as of May 29, 2021. The property continues to operate its hotel tower Thursday through Sunday.
Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Notwithstanding the easing of certain COVID-19 protective measures by authorities throughout the world, certain travel restrictions, quarantine measures, testing requirements, and capacity limitations remain in effect at our Macau Operations, and the Company is currently unable to determine when protective measures and the suspension of certain offerings in effect at our Macau Operations will be lifted. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, management cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $2.80 billion, and had access to $834.2 million of available borrowing capacity from the WRF Revolving Facility and $293.2 million of available borrowing capacity from the Wynn Macau Revolving Facility. The Company has suspended its dividend program. Given the Company's liquidity position at June 30, 2021, the Company believes it is able to support continuing operations and respond to the current COVID-19 pandemic challenges.
Macau Gaming Concession
The term of the Company's concession agreement with the Macau government ends on June 26, 2022. If the term of this concession agreement is not extended or renewed or is not replaced by a new gaming concession, all of the Company's gaming operations and related equipment in Macau will be automatically transferred to the Macau government without compensation on that date and the Company will cease to generate gaming revenues from its Macau Operations. In addition, under the indentures governing the Company's $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of WML Senior Notes, upon the occurrence of any event after which none of WML or any of its subsidiaries own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macau in substantially the same manner as they are owning or managing casino or gaming areas or operating casino games as of the issue date of the respective senior notes, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, holders of the WML Senior Notes can require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the WML Senior Notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Special Put Option").
The Macau government has publicly commented that it is studying the process by which concessions and subconcessions may be renewed, extended or issued. The Company is monitoring developments with respect to the Macau government's concession renewal or extension process, and at this time believes that its concession will be renewed or extended beyond June 26, 2022. The failure to extend or renew the Company's concession or obtain a new concession and the resulting ability of the WML Senior Note holders to exercise the Special Put Option would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Business Combination Agreement
On May 10, 2021, Wynn Interactive entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with Austerlitz Acquisition Corporation I, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Austerlitz I"), and Wave Merger Sub Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in Bermuda and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Austerlitz I ("Merger Sub"). The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions: (i) Austerlitz I will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Bermuda and change its name to "Wynn Interactive, Limited"; and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Wynn Interactive (the "Merger"), with Wynn Interactive being the surviving company of the Merger and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Austerlitz I. Upon closing of the transaction, assuming no share redemptions by the public stockholders of Austerlitz I, the Company is expected to retain an approximately 58 % equity interest (and approximately 72 % voting interest) in Wynn Interactive. The proposed business combination is expected to close by the end of 2021, subject to approval by Austerlitz I's stockholders, gaming regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company identifies as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For information on the Company's VIEs, see Note 16, "Retail Joint Venture." All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2021 have been reclassified to be consistent with the current quarter presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss or operating loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements relate to and include, but are not limited to, inputs into the Company's estimated allowance for credit losses, estimates regarding the useful lives and recoverability of the cost of long-lived assets, fair value estimates of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, and litigation and contingency estimates.

The Company’s allowance for casino credit losses was 39.3 % and 47.2 % of gross casino receivables as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Although the Company believes that its allowance is adequate, it is possible the estimated amounts of cash collections with respect to receivables could change. The Company’s allowance for credit losses from its hotel and other receivables is not material.

The Company expects to enter into the facility during the third quarter of 2021, and to use a portion of the net proceeds from borrowings under the new facility to facilitate the repayment of the outstanding $1.26 billion of borrowings under the existing Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at closing.

Note 10 - Customer Contract Liabilities
In providing goods and services to its customers, there is often a timing difference between the Company receiving cash and the Company recording revenue for providing services or holding events.
The Company's primary liabilities associated with customer contracts are as follows (in thousands):

| $ | $ | $ | ( | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Casino outstanding chips generally represent amounts owed to gaming promoters and customers for chips in their possession, and casino front money deposits represent funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs. These amounts are included in customer deposits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and may be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash in the future.
(2) Advance room deposits and ticket sales represent cash received in advance for goods or services to be provided in the future. These amounts are included in customer deposits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized as revenue when the goods or services are provided or the events are held. Decreases in this balance generally represent the recognition of revenue and increases in the balance represent additional deposits made by customers. The deposits are expected to primarily be recognized as revenue within one year.
(3) Other gaming-related liabilities generally represent unpaid wagers primarily in the form of unredeemed slot, race and sportsbook tickets or wagers for future sporting events. The amounts are included in other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(4) Loyalty program and related liabilities represent the deferral of revenue until the loyalty points or other complimentaries are redeemed. The amounts are included in other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being earned by customers.

(3) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, reflects compensation cost of $4.4
Note 12 - Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million and $80.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and an income tax expense of $1.2 million and $156.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 2021 income tax expense primarily related to an increase in valuation allowance for U.S deferred tax assets and to the Macau dividend tax agreement that provides for an annual payment of MOP 12.8 million (approximately $1.6 million) as complementary tax otherwise due by stockholders of Wynn Macau SA. The 2020 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S. foreign tax credits.
In March 2021, the Company received an extension of its Macau dividend tax agreement, providing for a payment of MOP 12.8 million (approximately $1.6 million) for 2021 and MOP 6.3 million (approximately $0.8 million) for the period ending June 26, 2022, the expiration date of the gaming concession agreement.
The Company records valuation allowances on certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company concluded it could no longer rely on forecasted future taxable income in assessing a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. This conclusion was reached due to cumulative operating losses incurred by the Company and tax legislation that reduced future sources of taxable income. As of June 30, 2021, the Company continues to rely solely on the reversal of net taxable temporary differences in assessing a need for a valuation allowance.
In April 2020, Wynn Macau SA received an extension of the exemption from Macau’s 12 % Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits earned from January 1, 2021 to June 26, 2022, the expiration date of the gaming concession agreement.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any casino gaming profits exempt from the Macau Complementary Tax. The Company's non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau special gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its concession agreement.

Note 13 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive securities had been issued, to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock.

Litigation
In addition to the actions noted below, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Massachusetts Gaming License Related Actions
On September 17, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission ("MGC") designated Wynn MA the award winner of the Greater Boston (Region A) gaming license (the "Boston area license"). On November 7, 2014, the gaming license became effective.
Revere Action
On October 16, 2014, the City of Revere, the host community to the unsuccessful bidder for the Boston area license, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103, and several individuals, filed a complaint against the MGC and its gaming commissioners in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts (the "Revere Action"). Mohegan Sun ("Mohegan"), the other applicant for the Boston area license, joined the lawsuit and challenged the MGC's award of the Boston area license. On December 3, 2015, the court granted the MGC's motion to dismiss the claims asserted in the Revere Action and the court dismissed all claims except Mohegan's claim alleging procedural error by the MGC in granting the license to Wynn MA. The plaintiffs appealed. After multiple appeals and cross appeals, only two claims remained: (1) individual plaintiffs' claim for violation of the open meeting laws; and (2) Mohegan's claim for procedural error. On July 12, 2019, the Suffolk Superior Court granted the MGC's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the open meeting law claim, leaving only Mohegan's procedural claim for procedural error.
On August 2, 2019, Mohegan filed a motion to file a second amended complaint, to add new claims related to the MGC's allegedly inadequate 2013 investigation. On October 15, 2019, the court granted Mohegan's motion to amend and allowed it to file a second amended intervenor's complaint.
Wynn MA is not a party to and is not named in the Revere Action.
Derivative Litigation
A number of stockholder derivative actions were filed in state and federal court located in Clark County, Nevada against certain current and former members of the Company's Board of Directors and, in some cases, the Company's current and former officers. Each of the complaints alleged, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties in failing to detect, prevent and remedy alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace.
The actions filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada were consolidated as In re Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Derivative Litigation ("State Derivative Case").
On June 3, 2019, a separate stockholder derivative action was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada alleging substantially similar causes of action as the State Derivative Case with the additional allegation that various of the Company's attorneys committed professional malpractice, and certain current and former executives also breached fiduciary duties and aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties, in connection with the alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. This case was consolidated in September 2019 into the State Derivative Case.
On November 27, 2019, the State Derivative Case parties agreed to terms of a settlement agreement. The court approved the settlement agreement on February 12, 2020, and entered a written order approving the settlement on March 10, 2020. Following the Nevada Supreme Court’s dismissal of the only appeal, the settlement agreement became effective and final. Following the dismissal, the Company received net proceeds of $30.2

In 2018, several actions filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada were consolidated as In re Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Derivative Litigation ("Federal Derivative Case"), which also claim corporate waste and violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. In June 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay pending resolution of the Securities Action (described below). On March 29, 2019, the Court granted the Company's request for a stay. On March 25, 2020, the parties stipulated to dismiss the Federal Derivative Case given the approved settlement in the State Derivative Case.
On March 25, 2019, a separate stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada alleging similar causes of action as the Federal Derivative Case with the additional allegation that the Board of Directors improperly refused the stockholder's demand to commence litigation against the officers and directors of the Company. On April 30, 2020, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, seeking dismissal of the claims given the approved settlement in the State Derivative Case. On January 12, 2021, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment of this action and denied the stockholder’s request to vacate the parties' stipulation to dismiss the Federal Derivative Case. On February 11, 2021, the stockholder filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On May 12, 2021, the parties stipulated to dismiss the appeal.
Each of the actions sought to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution and disgorgement of profits, and also sought to recover attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff.
Securities Action
On February 20, 2018, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, District of Nevada) by John V. Ferris and Joann M. Ferris on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other things, certain violations of federal securities laws and seeks to recover unspecified damages as well as attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. On April 15, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which the court granted on May 27, 2020, with leave to amend. On July 1, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On August 14, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 28, 2021, the court granted in part, and denied in part, the Company's motion to dismiss the amended complaint, dismissing certain of plaintiffs' claims, including all claims against Mr. Billings and the individual directors, and allowing other claims to proceed against the Company and several of the Company's current and former executive officers, including Mr. Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, and Steven Cootey.
The defendants in these actions will vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against them. These actions are in preliminary stages and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.
Federal Investigation
From time to time, the Company receives regulatory inquiries about compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The Company received requests for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California relating to its anti-money laundering policies and procedures, and in the first half of 2020, received two grand jury subpoenas regarding various transactions at Wynn Las Vegas relating to certain patrons and agents who reside or operate in foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney's Office in its investigation, which remains ongoing. Because no charges or claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation, the extent of the materiality of the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company.

(1) Includes lease revenue accounted for under lease accounting guidance. For more information on leases, see Note 14, "Leases".
(2) "Adjusted Property EBITDA" is net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other (including intercompany golf course, meeting and convention, and water rights leases), stock-based compensation, change in derivatives fair value, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations preopening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, our calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the "Company," "we," "us," or "our," or similar terms, refer to Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Overview
We are a designer, developer, and operator of integrated resorts featuring luxury hotel rooms, high-end retail space, an array of dining and entertainment options, meeting and convention facilities, and gaming, all supported by an unparalleled focus on our guests, our people, and our community. Through our approximately 72% ownership of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), we operate two integrated resorts in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau"), Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau (collectively, our "Macau Operations"). In Las Vegas, Nevada, we operate and, with the exception of certain retail space, own 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, we are a 50.1% owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). We refer to Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture as our Las Vegas Operations. On June 23, 2019, we opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts. In October 2020, Wynn Interactive Ltd. ("Wynn Interactive") was formed through the merger of our U.S. online sports betting and gaming business, social casino business, and our strategic partner, BetBull Limited ("BetBull"). Wynn Resorts holds an approximately 74% interest in, and consolidates, Wynn Interactive. The results of Wynn Interactive are presented within Corporate and other.
Recent Developments Related to COVID-19
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, steps have been taken by various countries, including those in which the Company operates, to advise citizens to avoid non-essential travel, to restrict inbound international travel, to implement closures of non-essential operations, and to implement quarantines and lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus. As part of the immediate response to the initial outbreak of COVID-19, each of the Company's properties was subject to partial or full closure for varying lengths of time during 2020. Several vaccines have been granted authorization in numerous countries and are being rolled out to citizens based on availability and priority of need. There can be no assurance as to when a sufficient number of individuals will be vaccinated, permitting travel restrictions to be fully lifted.
Macau Operations
Visitation to Macau has fallen significantly since the outbreak of COVID-19, driven by the strong deterrent effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel and social activities, quarantine measures in Macau and elsewhere, travel and entry restrictions and conditions in Macau, the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan involving COVID-19 testing, among other things, and the suspension or reduced accessibility of transportation to and from Macau. Beginning in June 2020 certain restrictions and conditions have eased to allow for visitation to Macau as certain regions recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine-free travel, subject to COVID-19 safeguards such as testing and the usual visa requirements, has been reintroduced between Macau and most areas and cities within the PRC, and in September 2020, PRC authorities fully resumed the IVS exit visa program, which permits individual PRC citizens from nearly 50 PRC cities to travel to Macau for tourism purposes. Total visitation from PRC to Macau increased meaningfully in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Total visitation decreased 75.1% compared to the same period in 2019. On August 3, 2021, in response to a risk of a community outbreak, the government of Macau has announced enhanced measures including tighter border control and strict mandatory COVID-19 testing requirements.
Given the evolving conditions created by and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, measures that have been lifted may be reintroduced if there are adverse developments in the COVID-19 situation in Macau and other regions with access to Macau.
Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor
The Company’s Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor had each implemented certain COVID-19 specific protective measures, such as limiting the number of seats per table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and suspension of certain entertainment and nightlife offerings. On April 8, 2021, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas
resumed full operations. On May 3, 2021, the Company's Las Vegas Operations were permitted by the Nevada Gaming Control Board to reopen all gaming areas to 100% of capacity, with no continuing table game or slot machine spacing restrictions. On July 27, 2021, the Governor of Nevada issued an emergency directive, in accordance with new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, re-imposing mask protection requirements in all public indoor areas effective July 30, 2021. At Encore Boston Harbor, on January 25, 2021, limitations on operating hours that had been in place since November 2020 were lifted, and the property restored certain operations and reopened its hotel tower on a Thursday through Sunday schedule. On April 27, 2021, the Governor of Massachusetts announced a phased plan for further reopening and on May 28, 2021 signed an executive order rescinding the COVID-related restrictions and limitations on businesses as of May 29, 2021. The property continues to operate its hotel tower Thursday through Sunday.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Notwithstanding the easing of certain COVID-19 protective measures by authorities throughout the world, certain travel restrictions, quarantine measures, testing requirements, and capacity limitations remain in effect at our Macau Operations, and the Company is currently unable to determine when protective measures and the suspension of certain offerings in effect at our Macau Operations will be lifted. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future spread or mitigation of COVID-19 and around the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, management cannot reasonably estimate the impact to the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Macau Gaming Concession
The term of the Company's concession agreement with the Macau government ends on June 26, 2022. If the term of this concession agreement is not extended or renewed or is not replaced by a new gaming concession, all of the Company's gaming operations and related equipment in Macau will be automatically transferred to the Macau government without compensation on that date and the Company will cease to generate gaming revenues from its Macau Operations. In addition, under the indentures governing the Company's $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of WML Senior Notes, upon the occurrence of any event after which none of WML or any of its subsidiaries own or manage casino or gaming areas or operate casino games of fortune and chance in Macau in substantially the same manner as they are owning or managing casino or gaming areas or operating casino games as of the issue date of the respective senior notes, for a period of 10 consecutive days or more, and such event has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of WML and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, holders of the WML Senior Notes can require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the WML Senior Notes at par, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Special Put Option").
The Macau government has publicly commented that it is studying the process by which concessions and subconcessions may be renewed, extended or issued. The Company is monitoring developments with respect to the Macau government's concession renewal or extension process, and at this time believes that its concession will be renewed or extended beyond June 26, 2022. The failure to extend or renew the Company's concession or obtain a new concession and the resulting ability of the WML Senior Note holders to exercise the Special Put Option would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Key Operating Measures
Certain key operating measures specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussion of our operational performance for the periods for which the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented. These key operating measures are presented as supplemental disclosures because management and/or certain investors use these measures to better understand period-over-period fluctuations in our casino and hotel operating revenues. These key operating measures are defined below:
•Table drop in mass market for our Macau Operations is the amount of cash that is deposited in a gaming table's drop box plus cash chips purchased at the casino cage.
•Table drop for our Las Vegas Operations is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
•Table drop for Encore Boston Harbor is the amount of cash and gross markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
•Rolling chips are non-negotiable identifiable chips that are used to track turnover for purposes of calculating incentives within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
•Turnover is the sum of all losing rolling chip wagers within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
•Table games win is the amount of table drop or turnover that is retained and recorded as casino revenues. Table games win is before discounts, commissions and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis. Table games win does not include poker rake.
•Slot machine win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained by us and is recorded as casino revenues. Slot machine win is after adjustment for progressive accruals and free play, but before discounts and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.
•Poker rake is the portion of cash wagered by patrons in our poker rooms that is retained by the casino as a service fee, after adjustment for progressive accruals, but before the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis. Poker tables are not included in our measure of average number of table games.
•Average daily rate ("ADR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms occupied.
•Revenue per available room ("REVPAR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms available.
•Occupancy is calculated by dividing total occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by the total rooms available.
Below is a discussion of the methodologies used to calculate win percentages at our resorts.
In our VIP operations in Macau, customers primarily purchase rolling chips from the casino cage and can only use them to make wagers. Winning wagers are paid in cash chips. The loss of the rolling chips in the VIP operations is recorded as turnover and provides a base for calculating VIP win percentage. It is customary in Macau to measure VIP play using this rolling chip method. We expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 2.7% to 3.0%.
In our mass market operations in Macau, customers may purchase cash chips at either the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The measurements from our VIP and mass market operations are not comparable as the measurement method used in our mass market operations tracks the initial purchase of chips at the table and at the casino cage, while the measurement method from our VIP operations tracks the sum of all losing wagers. Accordingly, the base measurement from the VIP operations is much larger than the base measurement from the mass market operations. As a result, the expected win percentage with the same amount of gaming win is lower in the VIP operations when compared to the mass market operations.
In Las Vegas, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers at the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The cash and markers, net of redemptions, used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 22% to 26%.
At Encore Boston Harbor, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers only at the casino cage. The cash and gross markers used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 18% to 22%.

(1) See Item 1—"Financial Statements," Note 17, "Segment Information," for a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.
The increase in operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by increases of $261.7 million, $172.1 million, $290.2 million, and $165.0 million from Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively, as a result of ongoing recovery from the effects of COVID-19.
The decrease in net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily related to increased operating revenues at our integrated resort properties, partially offset by increased operating expenses. In addition, net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited for the second quarter of 2020 excluded the impact of $75.7 million of expense related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
The increase in Adjusted Property EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by increased operating revenues at our integrated resort properties. Adjusted Property EBITDA increased $164.5 million, $96.7 million, $208.8 million, and $100.7 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively, and decreased $40.9 million at Corporate and other. In addition, Adjusted Property EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 excluded the impact of $75.7 million of expense related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.

Note: In response to the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, each of our properties was subject to partial or full closure for varying lengths of time during 2020, and each has since reopened with certain COVID-19 specific protective measures in place.
(1) Our Las Vegas Operations closed on March 17, 2020 and reopened on June 4, 2020. On October 19, 2020, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas adjusted its operating schedule to five days/four nights each week due to reduced customer demand levels. This adjusted operating schedule remained in effect through the first quarter of 2021, and on April 8, 2021, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas resumed full operations.
(2) Encore Boston Harbor casino revenues and associated key operating measures for the second quarter of 2020 have been omitted from the table. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations at Encore Boston Harbor were closed throughout the second quarter in 2020.

(1) Wynn Las Vegas closed on March 17, 2020 and reopened on June 4, 2020.
(2) Encore Boston Harbor room revenues and associated key operating measures for the second quarter of 2020 have been omitted from the table. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations at Encore Boston Harbor were closed throughout the second quarter in 2020.
(3) Encore Boston Harbor room statistics have been computed based on 53 days of operation in three months ended June 30, 2021, representing the number of nights hotel rooms were offered for sale to the public.
Room revenues increased $120.4 million, primarily due to higher occupancy at our Las Vegas Operations and our Macau Operations. Encore at Wynn Las Vegas operated on a limited basis with midweek closures throughout the first quarter of 2021 before fully reopening April 8, 2021. Room revenues from Encore Boston Harbor were $9.7 million. The hotel tower at Encore Boston Harbor was closed pursuant to a state directive from November 6, 2020 through January 25, 2021, when it restored certain operations and reopened its hotel tower on a Thursday through Sunday weekly schedule.
Food and beverage revenues increased $125.1 million, primarily driven by increased covers at our Las Vegas Operations and our Macau Operations. Food and beverage revenues from Encore Boston Harbor were $13.9 million.
Entertainment, retail and other revenues increased $65.6 million, primarily due to an increase in visitation at our Las Vegas Operations and our Macau Operations. Entertainment, retail and other revenues from Encore Boston Harbor were $6.2 million.

Total operating expenses increased $410.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to increased casino, room, food and beverage, entertainment, retail and other, and general and administrative expenses associated with increased levels of business as our properties recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by decreased provision for credit losses. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2020 excluded $75.7 million of expense related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
Casino expenses increased $107.5 million, $74.8 million, $22.1 million, and $46.1 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, our Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. These increases were primarily due to increased gaming tax expense commensurate with the increase in casino revenues at each property. Casino expenses for the second quarter of 2020 excluded expense of $7.9 million from Encore Boston Harbor and $12.8 million from our Las Vegas Operations related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
Room expenses increased $14.5 million and $2.7 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The increases were primarily a result of higher operating costs related to the increase in occupancy at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor. Room expenses for the second quarter of 2020 excluded expense of $1.5 million from Encore Boston Harbor and $8.3 million from our Las Vegas Operations related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
Food and beverage expenses increased $46.0 million and $4.4 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The increases were primarily a result of higher operating costs related to the increase in food and beverage revenues at each property as well as higher nightlife entertainment costs at our Las Vegas Operations. Food and beverage expenses for the second quarter of 2020 excluded expense of $20.8 million from our Las Vegas Operations and $4.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
Entertainment, retail and other expenses increased primarily due to marketing expenses incurred by Wynn Interactive. Entertainment, retail and other expenses for the second quarter of 2020 excluded expense of $4.1 million from our Las Vegas Operations and $0.7 million from Encore Boston Harbor related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increases of $10.8 million and $5.1 million at Encore Boston Harbor and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to increased payroll, operating costs, and general and administrative expenses. In addition, corporate and other general and administrative expenses
increased $27.3 million, primarily due to a credit of $27.7 million for the net proceeds of a derivative action settlement recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2020 excluded expense of $10.2 million from our Las Vegas Operations and $4.4 million from Encore Boston Harbor related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
Provision for credit losses decreased $14.8 million and $8.8 million at Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to the impact of historical collection patterns and expectations of current and future collection trends, as well as the specific review of customer accounts, on our estimated credit loss for the respective periods.
Our property charges and other expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 consisted primarily of asset disposals, abandonments and retirements of $1.4 million, $1.2 million, and $1.0 million at our Las Vegas Operations, Wynn Macau, and Wynn Palace, respectively. Our property charges and other expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 consisted primarily of asset disposals, abandonments and retirements of $3.6 million and $1.0 million at Encore Boston Harbor and Wynn Palace, respectively.

| Weighted average interest rate | 4.97 | % | 4.38 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Interest costs increased primarily due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate.
Other non-operating income and expenses
We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement gain of $5.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities drove the variability between periods.
We recorded a gain of $1.0 million and a loss of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, from change in derivatives fair value.
Income taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million and $80.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 2021 income tax expense primarily related to an increase in valuation allowance for U.S. deferred tax assets and the Macau dividend tax agreement that provides for an annual payment of MOP 12.8 million (approximately $1.6 million) as complementary tax otherwise due by stockholders of Wynn Macau SA. The 2020 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowances for U.S foreign tax credits and U.S. loss carryforwards.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $42.0 million and $97.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net loss from WML.

Casino revenues

In response to the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, each of our properties was subject to partial or full closure for varying lengths of time during 2020, and each has since reopened with certain COVID-19 specific protective measures in place.
(1) Our casino operations in Macau were closed for a 15-day period in February 2020 and resumed operations on a reduced basis on February 20, 2020.
(2) Our Las Vegas Operations closed on March 17, 2020 and reopened on June 4, 2020. On October 19, 2020, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas adjusted its operating schedule to five days/four nights each week due to reduced customer demand levels. This adjusted operating schedule remained in effect through the first quarter of 2021, and on April 8, 2021, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas resumed full operations.
(3) Encore Boston Harbor closed on March 15, 2020 and reopened on July 10, 2020. In addition, on November 6, 2020, Encore Boston Harbor temporarily suspended hotel operations and overnight casino operations pursuant to a state directive limiting the operating hours of certain businesses, including restaurants and casinos. On January 25, 2021, the limitations on operating hours were lifted, and Encore Boston Harbor restored 24-hour casino operations and reopened its hotel tower on a Thursday through Sunday weekly schedule.

Total operating expenses increased $122.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increased casino and entertainment, retail and other expenses, partially offset by decreased room, food and beverage, provision for credit losses, and property charges and other expenses.
Casino expenses increased $87.5 million, $44.9 million, and $30.0 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively, and decreased $2.6 million at our Las Vegas Operations. These increases were primarily due to increased gaming tax expense commensurate with the increase in casino revenues at each property, partially offset by lower payroll and operating costs at our Las Vegas Operations.
Room expenses decreased $15.1 million and $4.0 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The decreases were primarily a result of lower payroll and operating costs.
Food and beverage expenses decreased $29.1 million and $14.4 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The decreases were primarily a result of lower payroll and operating costs.
Entertainment, retail and other expenses increased primarily due to marketing expenses incurred by Wynn Interactive. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in entertainment, retail and other expenses of $22.5 million at our Las Vegas Operations primarily as a result of lower operating costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to decreases of $8.3 million, $4.4 million, and $22.2 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. These decreases were primarily attributable to decreased payroll, operating costs, and general and administrative expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in corporate and other general and administrative expenses of $24.1 million, primarily due to a credit of $27.7 million for the net proceeds of a derivative action settlement recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The provision for credit losses decreased $20.4 million, $15.2 million, and $3.5 million at our Las Vegas Operations, Wynn Palace, and Wynn Macau, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to the impact of historical collection patterns and expectations of current and future collection trends, as well as the specific review of customer accounts, on our estimated credit loss for the respective periods.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, pre-opening expenses totaled $4.1 million, which primarily related to restaurant remodels at our Las Vegas Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, pre-opening expenses totaled $4.7 million, which primarily related to restaurant remodels at our Las Vegas Operations and the meeting and convention expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, which opened in February 2020.
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization expense incurred at Corporate and other and an increase in depreciation expense of $4.5 million at Encore Boston Harbor associated with equipment placed in service during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Our property charges and other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consisted primarily of asset abandonments of $3.5 million and $3.2 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Palace, respectively. Our property charges and other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 consisted primarily of asset disposals, abandonments and retirements of $23.3 million and $3.9 million at Wynn Palace and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively.

| Weighted average interest rate | 4.90 | % | 4.57 | % | |||||||||||||||||||
Interest costs increased primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance and the weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased due to the completion of the meeting and convention expansion in February 2020.
Other non-operating income and expenses
We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $5.5 million and a gain of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities drove the variability between periods.
We recorded a gain of $5.4 million and a loss of $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, from change in derivatives fair value.
We recorded a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the partial prepayment of the Wynn Macau Term Loan. We recorded a $1.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily related to the partial prepayment of the Wynn Macau Term Loan.
Income taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $1.2 million and $156.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 2021 income tax expense primarily related to an increase in valuation allowance for U.S. deferred tax assets and the Macau dividend tax agreement that provides for an annual payment of MOP 12.8 million (approximately $1.6 million) as complementary tax otherwise due by stockholders of Wynn Macau SA. The 2020 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowances for U.S foreign tax credits and U.S. loss carryforwards.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $97.2 million and $145.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net loss from WML.
Adjusted Property EBITDA
We use Adjusted Property EBITDA to manage the operating results of our segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other (including intercompany golf course, meeting and convention, and water rights leases), stock-based compensation, change in derivatives fair value, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors to measure a company's ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations preopening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, our calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
The following table summarizes Adjusted Property EBITDA (in thousands) for Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor as reviewed by management and summarized in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 17, "Segment Information." That footnote also presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net loss attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Palace increased $164.5 million and $181.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Macau increased $96.7 million and $94.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operations increased $208.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operations increased $258.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues and a decrease in operating expenses.

Adjusted Property EBITDA for our Las Vegas Operations for the second quarter of 2020 excluded the impact of $56.4 million of expense related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted Property EBITDA at Encore Boston Harbor increased $100.7 million and $143.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Encore Boston Harbor closed to the public on March 15, 2020, and remained closed through the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted Property EBITDA for Encore Boston Harbor for the second quarter of 2020 excluded the impact of $19.3 million of expense related to our commitment to pay salary, tips, and benefits continuation for all of our U.S. employees for the period from April 1 through May 15, 2020, which we accrued during the first quarter of 2020.

Operating Activities
Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income (excluding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges), interest paid and earned, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium international customers who gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other revenue is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivable, net.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increased operating revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and changes in working capital accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the decrease in net cash provided by operations was primarily due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the results of our operations.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities primarily consist of project capital expenditures, such as the construction of the meeting and convention expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, which opened in February 2020, as well as maintenance capital expenditures
associated with maintaining and continually refining our world-class integrated resort properties. In light of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and our focus on safeguarding the Company's operations and the well-being of our employees, we temporarily postponed major project capital expenditures for 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred capital expenditures of $54.6 million at our Las Vegas Operations primarily related to the Wynn Las Vegas room remodel, and $17.9 million at Encore Boston Harbor, $13.6 million at Wynn Palace, and $9.8 million at Wynn Macau primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred capital expenditures of $48.1 million at Encore Boston Harbor primarily for the payment of construction retention and other payables related to its construction, $57.5 million at our Las Vegas Operations for restaurant remodels and maintenance capital expenditures, $23.1 million for the construction of the additional meeting and convention space at Wynn Las Vegas, and $27.5 million and $32.5 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively, primarily related to maintenance capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received proceeds of $841.9 million from our February 2021 equity offering and used $716.0 million of the proceeds from the equity offering to repay the outstanding borrowings under the WRF Revolver. In addition, we borrowed $50.1 million under the Wynn Macau Revolver, paid $464.7 million of outstanding principal owed under the Wynn Macau Term Loan, and made quarterly amortization payments under the WRF Term Loan totaling $25.0 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of WML 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2026, issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of WRF 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2025, borrowed $376.0 million, net of amounts repaid, under the Wynn Macau Revolver, borrowed $816.0 million under the WRF Revolver, prepaid $150.2 million of outstanding principal owed under the Wynn Macau Term Loan, and made quarterly amortization payments under the WRF Term Loan totaling $25.0 million. In addition, we used cash of $108.1 million for the payment of dividends.
Capital Resources
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and will continue to impact, materially, our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we believe our strong liquidity position will enable us to fund our current obligations for the foreseeable future, COVID-19 has resulted in significant disruption, which has had and will continue to have a negative impact on our operating income and could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future. We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities.
The following table summarizes our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available revolver borrowing capacity under the Company as of June 30, 2021 (in thousands):
| Total Cash and Cash Equivalents | Revolver Borrowing Capacity | ||||||||||

(1) Excluding Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. and subsidiaries.
(2) Excluding Wynn Macau, Limited and subsidiaries.
Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. and subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") generates cash from our Macau Operations and utilizes its revolver to fund short term working capital requirements as needed. We expect to use this cash to service our existing Wynn Macau Credit Facilities, make distributions to WML, and fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements at our Macau Operations.
The Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain customary negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio tests (as defined in the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities) that could restrict its ability to
make distributions to WML and incur additional indebtedness. Wynn Macau SA is required to maintain a leverage ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1 and an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1. Wynn Macau SA complied with these ratios for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
In January 2021, Wynn Macau SA prepaid approximately $412.5 million of the term loan outstanding under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities using proceeds from WML senior notes issuances.
In August 2021, a subsidiary of WML received lender commitments for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.50 billion with a final maturity four years from inception. The Company expects to enter into the facility during the third quarter of 2021, and to use a portion of the net proceeds from borrowings under the new facility to facilitate the repayment of the outstanding $1.26 billion of borrowings under the existing Wynn Macau Credit Facilities at closing.
The Company is currently designing the second phase of Wynn Palace. We do not expect to incur significant capital expenditures related to the construction of this project in 2021.
Wynn Macau, Limited and subsidiaries. Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML") primarily generates cash through distributions from Wynn Macau SA. We expect to use WML's cash to service our existing WML Senior Notes, pay dividends to shareholders of WML (of which we own approximately 72%), and fund working capital requirements at WML.
WML paid no dividends during 2020 or the six months ended June 30, 2021. The WML board of directors will be continuously monitoring the situation and market conditions in Macau and Greater China and may consider a special dividend in the future when such conditions have stabilized.
If our portion of our cash and cash equivalents were repatriated to the U.S. on June 30, 2021, it would be subject to minimal U.S. taxes in the year of repatriation.
Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC and subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC ("WRF" or "Wynn Resorts Finance") generates cash from distributions from its subsidiaries, which include our Macau Operations, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, and contributions from Wynn Resorts, as required. In addition, WRF may utilize its available revolving borrowing capacity as needed. We expect to use this cash to service our WRF Credit Facilities, 2025 WRF Notes, 2029 WRF Notes, and WLV Notes, and to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements as needed.
WRF is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends to Wynn Resorts is dependent on WRF receiving distributions from its subsidiaries, which include WML, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, and Wynn MA, LLC (the owner and operator of Encore Boston Harbor). The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict WRF's ability to pay dividends or distributions and incur additional indebtedness.
Wynn Las Vegas is currently undergoing its planned room remodel, which we temporarily postponed during 2020. We expect to incur between $150 million and $170 million of remaining project costs related to this remodel, which we expect to complete during the first quarter of 2022.
The Company repaid $716.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the WRF Revolver in February 2021, using proceeds from the February 2021 equity offering described below.
Wynn Resorts, Limited and other subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts, Limited is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is dependent on our ability to obtain funds and our subsidiaries' ability to provide funds to us. Wynn Resorts, Limited and other primarily generates cash from royalty and management agreements with our resorts, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries, and the operations of the Retail Joint Venture of which we own 50.1%. We expect to use this cash to service our Retail Term Loan and for general corporate purposes.
On February 11, 2021, the Company completed a registered public offering of 7,475,000 newly issued shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $115.00 per share for proceeds of $841.9 million, net of $17.7 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses. The Company used $716.0 million of the net proceeds from this equity offering to repay the outstanding borrowings under the WRF revolver in February 2021, and intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
On May 10, 2021, Wynn Interactive entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with Austerlitz Acquisition Corporation I, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Austerlitz I"), and Wave Merger Sub Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in Bermuda and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Austerlitz I ("Merger Sub"). The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions: (i) Austerlitz I will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Bermuda and change its name to "Wynn Interactive, Limited"; and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Wynn Interactive (the "Merger"), with Wynn Interactive being the surviving company of the Merger and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Austerlitz I. Upon closing of the transaction, assuming no share redemptions by the public stockholders of Austerlitz I, the Company is expected to retain approximately 58% equity interest (and approximately 72% voting interest) in Wynn Interactive. We expect the assets of the combined business to include approximately $634.0 million of net cash currently held by Austerlitz I. The proposed business combination is expected to close by the end of 2021, subject to approval by Austerlitz I's stockholders, gaming regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.
Legal proceedings in which we are involved also may impact our liquidity. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such proceedings. In addition, litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies."
Our Board of Directors has authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion. Under the equity repurchase program, we may repurchase the Company's outstanding shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2021, we had $800.1 million in repurchase authority remaining under the program. We did not repurchase shares under the repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
We have in the past repurchased, and in the future, we may periodically consider repurchasing our outstanding notes for cash. The amount of any notes to be repurchased, as well as the timing of any repurchases, will be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability.
New business developments or other unforeseen events, including related to COVID-19, may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in domestic and international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any new development may require us to obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts, Limited or through subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas, Boston or Macau-related entities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities nor do we engage in any derivatives except for an interest rate collar associated with our Retail Term Loan. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. As of June 30, 2021, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $15.8 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes to these policies for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.
Interest Rate Risks
One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, supplemented by hedging activities as believed by us to be appropriate. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
As of June 30, 2021, approximately 77% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our borrowings as of June 30, 2021, an assumed 100 basis point change in the variable rates would cause our annual interest expense to change by $22.3 million.
In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, the Company entered into a five year interest rate collar with a notional value of $615.0 million. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Company will pay the counterparty if one-month LIBOR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Company if one-month LIBOR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.75%.
Foreign Currency Risks
We expect most of the revenues and expenses for any casino that we operate in Macau will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas; however, a significant portion of our Wynn Macau, Limited debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates resulting in weakening of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have materially adverse effects on our results, financial condition and ability to service debt. Based on our balances as of June 30, 2021, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of $39.8 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
