On the eve of his father's cancer surgery, as an English major at the University of Pennsylvania, Steve sat at his father's bed, tallying more than $200,000 in the elder Wynn's outstanding debt. Steve made his first major foray into Vegas in 1972, buying an interest in the Golden Nugget, a seedy downtown casino.
