"Five years after he sold his Las Vegas holdings, Wynn is returning to the Strip with the most expensive project ever seen in a city famous for its extravagant hotels.

'I have developer's disease,' Wynn said in the interview. 'I love to sit at a drafting table and draw plans for hotels, wrestling with problems of traffic and the flow of people. That's what turns me on.' "
